      Update dependencies for ARM TF · fa05efb3
      David Cunado authored 
      

ARM TF has been tested as part of its CI system with the following
dependencies updated:

- Linaro binaries:    17.04 --> 17.10
- mbed TLS library:   2.4.2 --> 2.6.0

The version of AEM, Cortex-A and Foundation models that ARM TF is
tested on has also been updated:

- v11.1 build 11.1:22 --> v11.2 build 11.2:33
- v8.9 build 0.8:8805 --> v9.0 build 0.8:9005

This patch updates the user guide documentation to reflect these
changes to the dependencies.

Additionally, links to Linaro resources have been updated.

      Enable SVE for Non-secure world · 1a853370
      David Cunado authored 
      

This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.

If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:

- Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.

- Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
  disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
  then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
  registers.

The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
archiecture is AArch32.

This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.

Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.

Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
where EL2 is implemented but not used.

      ARM platforms: Fixup AArch32 builds · 5744e874
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

This patch fixes a couple of issues for AArch32 builds on ARM reference
platforms :

1. The arm_def.h previously defined the same BL32_BASE value for AArch64 and
   AArch32 build. Since BL31 is not present in AArch32 mode, this meant that
   the BL31 memory is empty when built for AArch32. Hence this patch allocates
   BL32 to the memory region occupied by BL31 for AArch32 builds.

   As a side-effect of this change, the ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION macro cannot
   be used to control the load address of BL32 in AArch32 mode which was
   never the intention of the macro anyway.

2. A static assert is added to sp_min linker script to check that the progbits
   are within the bounds expected when overlaid with other images.

3. Fix specifying `SPD` when building Juno for AArch32 mode. Due to the quirks
   involved when building Juno for AArch32 mode, the build option SPD needed to
   specifed. This patch corrects this and also updates the documentation in the
   user-guide.

4. Exclude BL31 from the build and FIP when building Juno for AArch32 mode. As
   a result the previous assumption that BL31 must be always present is removed
   and the certificates for BL31 is only generated if `NEED_BL31` is defined.

      Implement support for the Activity Monitor Unit on Cortex A75 · 0319a977
      Dimitris Papastamos authored 
      

The Cortex A75 has 5 AMU counters.  The first three counters are fixed
and the remaining two are programmable.

A new build option is introduced, `ENABLE_AMU`.  When set, the fixed
counters will be enabled for use by lower ELs.  The programmable
counters are currently disabled.

      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).

      ARMv7 target is driven by ARM_ARCH_MAJOR==7 · 26e63c44
      Etienne Carriere authored 
      

External build environment shall sets directive ARM_ARCH_MAJOR to 7
to specify a target ARMv7-A core.

As ARM-TF expects AARCH to be set, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR==7 mandates
AARCH=aarch32.

The toolchain target architecture/cpu is delegated after the platform
configuration is parsed. Platform shall define target core through
ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes, <x> being 5, 7, 9, 12, 15 and/or 17.

Platform can bypass ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes directive and provide straight
the toolchain target directive through MARCH32_DIRECTIVE.
