      Fix broken link in documentation · 526f2bdd
      johpow01 authored 
      

The link to the exception handling framework page on the System Design /
Firmware Design / Section 4.3 just links to itself, so I changed it to
link to the exception handling framework component document.

      Mention COT build option in trusted-board-boot-build.rst · d935b951
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      Since commit 3bff910d

 ("Introduce COT
build option"), it is now possible to select a different Chain of Trust
than the TBBR-Client one.

Make a few adjustments in the documentation to reflect that. Also make
some minor improvements (fixing typos, better formatting, ...)  along
the way.

      Update cryptographic algorithms in TBBR doc · 316c5cc6
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      

The TBBR documentation has been written along with an early
implementation of the code. At that time, the range of supported
encryption and hash algorithms was failry limited. Since then, support
for other algorithms has been added in TF-A but the documentation has
not been updated.

Instead of listing them all, which would clutter this document while
still leaving it at risk of going stale in the future, remove specific
references to the original algorithms and point the reader at the
relevant comprehensive document for further details.

      juno/sgm: Maximize space allocated to SCP_BL2 · ddc93cba
      Chris Kay authored 
      

To accommodate the increasing size of the SCP_BL2 binary, the base
address of the memory region allocated to SCP_BL2 has been moved
downwards from its current (mostly) arbitrary address to the beginning
of the non-shared trusted SRAM.

      cpus: higher performance non-cacheable load forwarding · cd0ea184
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

The CPUACTLR_EL1 register on Cortex-A57 CPUs supports a bit to enable
non-cacheable streaming enhancement. Platforms can set this bit only
if their memory system meets the requirement that cache line fill
requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic.

This patch adds support to enable higher performance non-cacheable load
forwarding for such platforms. Platforms must enable this support by
setting the 'A57_ENABLE_NONCACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD' flag from their
makefiles. This flag is disabled by default.

      Adds option to read ROTPK from registers for FVP · a6ffddec
      Max Shvetsov authored 
      

Enables usage of ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=regs for FVP board.
Removes hard-coded developer keys. Instead, setting
ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_* takes keys from default directory.
In case of ROT_KEY specified - generates a new hash and replaces the
original.

Note: Juno board was tested by original feature author and was not tested
for this patch since we don't have access to the private key. Juno
implementation was moved to board-specific file without changing
functionality. It is not known whether byte-swapping is still needed
for this platform.

      bl31: Split into two separate memory regions · f8578e64
      Samuel Holland authored 
      

Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

      doc: Split the User Guide into multiple files · 43f35ef5
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.

      doc: Convert internal links to RST format · 34760951
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

Currently links between documents are using the format:

<path/to/><filename>.rst

This was required for services like GitHub because they render each
document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking
to any other file, just provide the full path.

However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw
source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered
the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so,
when linking to another document, the link must point to the
rendered version and not the .rst file.

The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content.
The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors
for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for
our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on
section and sub-section titles, for example.

An example of this new format, for a document with the title
"Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`.

One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on
paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories,
without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be
updated only if the title of a document changes.

      Neoverse N1 Errata Workaround 1542419 · 80942622
      laurenw-arm authored 
      

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.

The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
address followed by a DSB.

      Fix the CAS spinlock implementation · c97cba4e
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based
on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be
unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms.

The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock()
implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is
needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is
heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics
to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock.
The patch implements the same.
