      Optimize/cleanup BPIALL workaround · d9bd656c
      Dimitris Papastamos authored
      
      
      In the initial implementation of this workaround we used a dedicated
      workaround context to save/restore state.  This patch reduces the
      footprint as no additional context is needed.
      
      Additionally, this patch reduces the memory loads and stores by 20%,
      reduces the instruction count and exploits static branch prediction to
      optimize the SMC path.

      Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75 · a1781a21
      Dimitris Papastamos authored
      
      
      Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
      temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
      `BPIALL` instruction.
      
      This is achieved by using 3 vector tables.  There is the runtime
      vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
      tables which are required to implement this workaround.  The
      additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.
      
      The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
      as follows:
      
      1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
         to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
         with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled.  This is the default vector table.
      
      2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
         another vector table `vbar1`.  This is required to restore EL3 state
         when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
         exception handling.
      
      3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
         SMC call back to EL3 is performed.
      
      4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
         restored.  The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
         handle further exceptions.  Finally a branch to the runtime vector
         table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
         exception.
      
      This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.
      
      NOTE
      ====
      
      There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1.  Each stub corresponds to
      an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError.  Each stub will move a
      different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
      Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
      what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
      distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

      Refactor Statistical Profiling Extensions implementation · 281a08cc
      Dimitris Papastamos authored
      
      
      Factor out SPE operations in a separate file.  Use the publish
      subscribe framework to drain the SPE buffers before entering secure
      world.  Additionally, enable SPE before entering normal world.
      
      A side effect of this change is that the profiling buffers are now
      only drained when a transition from normal world to secure world
      happens.  Previously they were drained also on return from secure
      world, which is unnecessary as SPE is not supported in S-EL1.

      Move FPEXC32_EL2 to FP Context · 91089f36
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
      lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
      to AArch32 system register FPEXC.
      
      This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
      and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
      floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.
      
      The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
      functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
      world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.
      
      NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
      CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
      Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
      this register

      BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework · 21b818c0
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
      respective handlers in EL3.
      
      This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
      which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
      be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
      might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.
      
      The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
      priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
      programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
      Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
      associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
      priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
      framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
      programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.
      
      This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
      handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
      and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.
      
      Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
      build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.
      
      Documentation to follow.
      
      NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
      interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
      or later).

      Init and save / restore of PMCR_EL0 / PMCR · 3e61b2b5
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in
      the secure context or save/restore the register.
      
      In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit
      cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting
      generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE
      to 0.
      
      This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state
      to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields
      that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value.
      
      Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are
      saved and restored during a world switch.
      
      Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state.
      
      NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0
      will be impacted.

      cpu log buffer size depends on cache line size · 86606eb5

      SPE is only supported in non-secure state.  Accesses to SPE specific
      registers from SEL1 will trap to EL3.  During a world switch, before
      `TTBR` is modified the SPE profiling buffers are drained.  This is to

      Introduce ARM SiP service to switch execution state · b10d4499
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
      (a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
      whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
      For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
      it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
      higher exception level.
      
      This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
      by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
      execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:
      
        - raised from non-secure world;
      
        - raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
          with CPU_ON PSCI call;
      
        - raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
          implemented; otherwise NS EL1.
      
      If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
      point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
      returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
      for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
      fail.
      
      For the ARM SiP service:
      
        - Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
        - Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
        - Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.
      
      Add documentation for ARM SiP service.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#436

      Re-factor header files for easier PSCI library integration · 5dffb46c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch re-factors the following headers to make it easier to
      integrate the PSCI library with an AArch32 Secure Payload :
      
        *  bl_common.h : The entry point information and the param
           header data structures are factored out into separate
           headers ep_info.h and param_headers.h
        *  psci.h : The PSCI library interfaces are factored out
           into the new header psci_lib.h
        *  context_mgmt.h : The header file is modified to not include
           arch.h when compiled for AArch32 mode.
      
      No functional changes are introduced by this patch.

      Add PMF instrumentation points in TF · 872be88a
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
      implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
      has been added.
      
      Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:
      
      - Entry to PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured as early
        as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
        before entering the PSCI SMC handler.
      
      - Exit from PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured after
        normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
        was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
        return to normal world.
      
      - Entry to low power state.  The timestamp is captured before entry
        to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
        As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
        is defined to describe both.  It is possible to differentiate between
        the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.
      
      - Exit from low power state.  The timestamp is captured after a standby
        or power up operation has completed.
      
      To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
      one can perform the following calculation:
      
      (exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).
      
      The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
      frequency of the counter.

      Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries · 532ed618
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
      management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
      `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
      BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
      PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
      are done as part of this patch are:
      
      * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
        enable reuse.
      * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
        specific folder.
      * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
        to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
        just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.
      
      Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
      changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.
      
      NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
      THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
      MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.
