      Add support for BL2 in XIP memory · 7d173fc5
      Jiafei Pan authored
      
      
      In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place (XIP) memory,
      like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize the RW sections
      in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This patch enable this
      use-case with a new build option, BL2_IN_XIP_MEM. For now, this option
      is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3 is 1.

      Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables · 883d1b5d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
      read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
      specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
      performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
      completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
      that they are the same.
      
      This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
      in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
      that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
      tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
      even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
      
      The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
      where the functions are.
      
      Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
      tables have been fixed.

      Introduce the new BL handover interface · a6f340fe
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows
      passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made
      so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous
      blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new
      blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity
      implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file.
      Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic
      code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise
      the other registers are available for platform use.

      Add image_id to bl1_plat_handle_post/pre_image_load() · 566034fc
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch adds an argument to bl1_plat_post/pre_image_load() APIs
      to make it more future proof. The default implementation of
      these are moved to `plat_bl1_common.c` file.
      
      These APIs are now invoked appropriately in the FWU code path prior
      to or post image loading by BL1 and are not restricted
      to LOAD_IMAGE_V2.
      
      The patch also reorganizes some common platform files. The previous
      `plat_bl2_el3_common.c` and `platform_helpers_default.c` files are
      merged into a new `plat_bl_common.c` file.
      
      NOTE: The addition of an argument to the above mentioned platform APIs
      is not expected to have a great impact because these APIs were only
      recently added and are unlikely to be used.

      Replace magic numbers in linkerscripts by PAGE_SIZE · a2aedac2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
      them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
      by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
      
      This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
      is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
      size.

      Minor refactor of BL2 image load v2 · c2a9ee63
      Dan Handley authored
      
      
      Previously, get_next_bl_params_from_mem_params_desc() populated arg0
      in the EL3 runtime entrypoint with a bl_params_t pointer. This is the
      responsibility of the generic LOAD_IMAGE_V2 framework instead of the
      descriptor-based image loading utility functions. Therefore this patch
      moves that code to bl2_load_images().
      
      Also, this patch moves the code that flushes the bl_params structure to
      flush_bl_params_desc(), together with the other descriptor-based image
      loading flushing code.

      Add support for GCC stack protection · 51faada7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
      compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
      options.
      
      A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
      It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
      corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
      from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
      protection.
      
      A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
      detected.
      
      To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
      lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
      attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
      the protection.
      
      FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
      there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
      timer's value, which could be predictable.

      Introduce unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
      addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
      time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
      without doing external memory access.
      
      Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
      zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
      
      Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
      firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
      with zeromem16 requirements).
      
      Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
      8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
      more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
      
      Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
      that are implemented this way:
      * AArch32:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
      	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
      * AArch64:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
      	                  (needs MMU enabled)
      	* zeromem: zero using usual data access
      
      Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
      
      There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
      * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
        considered device memory for data accesses).
      * Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
      
      Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
      important:
      * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
        memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
      
        Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
        zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
        compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
      transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
      are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
      from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
      examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
      described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
      left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
      the debugger back trace.
      
      This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
      from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
      instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
      instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
      to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

      Changes for new version of image loading in BL1/BL2 · 42019bf4
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds changes in BL1 & BL2 to use new version
      of image loading to load the BL images.
      
      Following are the changes in BL1:
        -Use new version of load_auth_image() to load BL2
        -Modified `bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout()` to remove using
         `reserve_mem()` and to calculate `bl2_mem_layout`.
         `bl2_mem_layout` calculation now assumes that BL1 RW
         data is at the top of the bl1_mem_layout, which is more
         restrictive than the previous BL1 behaviour.
      
      Following are the changes in BL2:
        -The `bl2_main.c` is refactored and all the functions
         for loading BLxx images are now moved to `bl2_image_load.c`
         `bl2_main.c` now calls a top level `bl2_load_images()` to
         load all the images that are applicable in BL2.
        -Added new file `bl2_image_load_v2.c` that uses new version
         of image loading to load the BL images in BL2.
      
      All the above changes are conditionally compiled using the
      `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag.

      Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag · 5d1c104f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
      with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
      The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
      code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
      a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
      attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
      read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
      executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
      a security attack.
      
      This patch introduces a new build flag called
      SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
      on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
      the access permissions for the code and read-only data.
      
      This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
      introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
      segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
      of the read-only section has been changed in this case.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
         the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
         read-only section.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
         read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
         vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
         gives the following new layout (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
         instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
         data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
         provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
         layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
         access permissions.
      
      Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.

      Remove all non-configurable dead loops · 1c3ea103
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
      platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
      implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
      is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
      spins.
      
      Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
      instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
      call to panic().
      
      All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
      been removed.

      Enable preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow · cf2c8a33
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Enable alternative boot flow where BL2 does not load BL33 from
      non-volatile storage, and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded
      BL33.
      
      The flag used to enable this bootflow is BL33_BASE, which must hold
      the entrypoint address of the BL33 image. The User Guide has been
      updated with an example of how to use this option with a bootwrapped
      kernel.

          bl30         -->  scp_bl2
      
      This change affects code, documentation, build system, tools and
      platform ports that load SCP firmware. ARM plaforms have been
      updated to the new porting API.

      FWU: Add Generic Firmware Update framework support in BL1 · 48bfb88e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
      BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
      specific code detects that it is needed.
      
      This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
      included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.
      
      This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
      of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
      and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
      BL1 SMCs.
      
      Following platform porting functions are introduced:
      
      int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
      unsigned int flags);
      	This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
      	for the provided base/size for the given security state.
      	The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.
      
      __dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
      	This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
      	to mark completion of the FWU process.
      	The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.
      
      plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.
      
      FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
      other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
      `bl1_main()`.
      
      NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
      bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

      Remove `RUN_IMAGE` usage as opcode passed to next EL. · 5698c5b3
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      The primary usage of `RUN_IMAGE` SMC function id, used by BL2 is to
      make a request to BL1 to execute BL31. But BL2 also uses it as
      opcode to check if it is allowed to execute which is not the
      intended usage of `RUN_IMAGE` SMC.
      
      This patch removes the usage of `RUN_IMAGE` as opcode passed to
      next EL to check if it is allowed to execute.

      CSS: Enable booting of EL3 payloads · 4c117f6c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch adds support for booting EL3 payloads on CSS platforms,
      for example Juno. In this scenario, the Trusted Firmware follows
      its normal boot flow up to the point where it would normally pass
      control to the BL31 image. At this point, it jumps to the EL3
      payload entry point address instead.
      
      Before handing over to the EL3 payload, the data SCP writes for AP
      at the beginning of the Trusted SRAM is restored, i.e. we zero the
      first 128 bytes and restore the SCP Boot configuration. The latter
      is saved before transferring the BL30 image to SCP and is restored
      just after the transfer (in BL2). The goal is to make it appear that
      the EL3 payload is the first piece of software to run on the target.
      
      The BL31 entrypoint info structure is updated to make the primary
      CPU jump to the EL3 payload instead of the BL31 image.
      
      The mailbox is populated with the EL3 payload entrypoint address,
      which releases the secondary CPUs out of their holding pen (if the
      SCP has powered them on). The arm_program_trusted_mailbox() function
      has been exported for this purpose.
      
      The TZC-400 configuration in BL2 is simplified: it grants secure
      access only to the whole DRAM. Other security initialization is
      unchanged.
      
      This alternative boot flow is disabled by default. A new build option
      EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE has been introduced to enable it and provide the EL3
      payload's entry point address. The build system has been modified
      such that BL31 and BL33 are not compiled and/or not put in the FIP in
      this case, as those images are not used in this boot flow.

      Add optional platform error handler API · 40fc6cd1
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds an optional API to the platform port:
      
          void plat_error_handler(int err) __dead2;
      
      The platform error handler is called when there is a specific error
      condition after which Trusted Firmware cannot continue. While panic()
      simply prints the crash report (if enabled) and spins, the platform
      error handler can be used to hand control over to the platform port
      so it can perform specific bookeeping or post-error actions (for
      example, reset the system). This function must not return.
      
      The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from
      errno.h. Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
      
          -EAUTH  : a certificate or image could not be authenticated
                    (when Trusted Board Boot is enabled)
          -ENOENT : the requested image or certificate could not be found
                    or an IO error was detected
          -ENOMEM : resources exhausted. Trusted Firmware does not use
                    dynamic memory, so this error is usually an indication
                    of an incorrect array size
      
      A default weak implementation of this function has been provided.
      It simply implements an infinite loop.

      Make generic code work in presence of system caches · 54dc71e7
      Achin Gupta authored
      On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
      level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
      flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
      cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
      enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
      memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
      been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
      coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
      is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
      (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
      
      This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
      operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
      operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
      changes:
      
      1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
         initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
         are removed.
      
      2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
         visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
      
      3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
      
      NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
      ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

      TBB: abort boot if BL3-2 cannot be authenticated · fedbc049
      Juan Castillo authored
      BL3-2 image (Secure Payload) is optional. If the image cannot be
      loaded a warning message is printed and the boot process continues.
      According to the TBBR document, this behaviour should not apply in
      case of an authentication error, where the boot process should be
      aborted.
      
      This patch modifies the load_auth_image() function to distinguish
      between a load error and an authentication error. The caller uses
      the return value to abort the boot process or continue.
      
      In case of authentication error, the memory region used to store
      the image is wiped clean.

      TBB: switch to the new authentication framework · 1779ba6b
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
      the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
      module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
      authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.
      
      A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
      is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
      authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
      trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
      build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
      ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.
      
      The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
      to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
      variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.
      
      On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
      each to accommodate the ECDSA code.
