      Read-only xlat tables for BL31 memory · 60e8f3cf
      Petre-Ionut Tudor authored 
      

This patch introduces a build flag which allows the xlat tables
to be mapped in a read-only region within BL31 memory. It makes it
much harder for someone who has acquired the ability to write to
arbitrary secure memory addresses to gain control of the
translation tables.

The memory attributes of the descriptors describing the tables
themselves are changed to read-only secure data. This change
happens at the end of BL31 runtime setup. Until this point, the
tables have read-write permissions. This gives a window of
opportunity for changes to be made to the tables with the MMU on
(e.g. reclaiming init code). No changes can be made to the tables
with the MMU turned on from this point onwards. This change is also
enabled for sp_min and tspd.

To make all this possible, the base table was moved to .rodata. The
penalty we pay is that now .rodata must be aligned to the size of
the base table (512B alignment). Still, this is better than putting
the base table with the higher level tables in the xlat_table
section, as that would cost us a full 4KB page.

Changing the tables from read-write to read-only cannot be done with
the MMU on, as the break-before-make sequence would invalidate the
descriptor which resolves the level 3 page table where that very
descriptor is located. This would make the translation required for
writing the changes impossible, generating an MMU fault.

The caches are also flushed.

      SPMD: generate and add Secure Partition blobs into FIP · ce2b1ec6
      Manish Pandey authored 
      

Till now TF-A allows limited number of external images to be made part
of FIP. With SPM coming along, there may exist multiple SP packages
which need to be inserted into FIP. To achieve this we need a more
scalable approach to feed SP packages to FIP.

This patch introduces changes in build system to generate and add SP
packages into FIP based on information provided by platform.
Platform provides information in form of JSON which contains layout
description of available Secure Partitions.
JSON parser script is invoked by build system early on and generates
a makefile which updates FIP, SPTOOL and FDT arguments which will be
used by build system later on for final packaging.

"SP_LAYOUT_FILE" passed as a build argument and can be outside of TF-A
tree. This option will be used only when SPD=spmd.

For each SP, generated makefile will have following entries
     - FDT_SOURCES	+=	sp1.dts
     - SPTOOL_ARGS	+= 	-i sp1.img:sp1.dtb -o sp1.pkg
     - FIP_ARGS		+=	--blob uuid=XXXX-XXX...,file=SP1.pkg

      Tegra: spe: uninit console on a timeout · 8a47fe43
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

There are chances a denial-of-service attack, if an attacker
removes the SPE firmware from the system. The console driver
would end up waiting for the firmware to respond indefinitely.
The console driver must detect such scenarios and uninit the
interface as a result.

This patch adds a timeout to the interaction with the SPE
firmware and uninits the interface if it times out.
