      Enable ARMv8.6-ECV Self-Synch when booting to EL2 · 29d0ee54
      Jimmy Brisson authored
      
      
      Enhanced Counter Virtualization, ECV, is an architecture extension introduced
      in ARMv8.6. This extension allows the hypervisor, at EL2, to setup
      self-synchronizing views of the timers for it's EL1 Guests. This patch pokes the
      control register to enable this extension when booting a hypervisor at EL2.

      Enable ARMv8.6-FGT when booting to EL2 · 110ee433
      Jimmy Brisson authored
      
      
      The Fine Grained Traps (FGT) architecture extension was added to aarch64 in
      ARMv8.6. This extension primarily allows hypervisors, at EL2, to trap specific
      instructions in a more fine grained manner, with an enable bit for each
      instruction. This patch adds support for this extension by enabling the
      extension when booting an hypervisor at EL2.

      Enable v8.6 WFE trap delays · 6cac724d
      johpow01 authored
      
      
      This patch enables the v8.6 extension to add a delay before WFE traps
      are taken. A weak hook plat_arm_set_twedel_scr_el3 has been added in
      plat/common/aarch64/plat_common.c that disables this feature by default
      but platform-specific code can override it when needed.
      
      The only hook provided sets the TWED fields in SCR_EL3, there are similar
      fields in HCR_EL2, SCTLR_EL2, and SCTLR_EL1 to control WFE trap delays in
      lower ELs but these should be configured by code running at EL2 and/or EL1
      depending on the platform configuration and is outside the scope of TF-A.

      Implement workaround for AT speculative behaviour · 45aecff0
      Manish V Badarkhe authored
      During context switching from higher EL (EL2 or higher)
      to lower EL can cause incorrect translation in TLB due to
      speculative execution of AT instruction using out-of-context
      translation regime.
      
      Workaround is implemented as below during EL's (EL1 or EL2)
      "context_restore" operation:
      1. Disable page table walk using SCTLR.M and TCR.EPD0 & EPD1
         bits for EL1 or EL2 (stage1 and stage2 disabled)
      2. Save all system registers except TCR and SCTLR (for EL1 and EL2)
      3. Do memory barrier operation (isb) to ensure all
         system register writes are done.
      4. Restore TCR and SCTLR registers (for EL1 and EL2)
      
      Errata details are available for various CPUs as below:
      Cortex-A76: 1165522
      Cortex-A72: 1319367
      Cortex-A57: 1319537
      Cortex-A55: 1530923

      Currently, Workaround is implemented as build option which is default
      disabled.

      fdt/wrappers: Replace fdtw_read_cells() implementation · ff4e6c35
      Andre Przywara authored
      Our fdtw_read_cells() implementation goes to great lengths to
      sanity-check every parameter and result, but leaves a big hole open:
      The size of the storage the value pointer points at needs to match the
      number of cells given. This can't be easily checked at compile time,
      since we lose the size information by using a void pointer.
      Regardless the current usage of this function is somewhat wrong anyways,
      since we use it on single-element, fixed-length properties only, for
      which the DT binding specifies the size.
      Typically we use those functions dealing with a number of cells in DT
      context to deal with *dynamically* sized properties, which depend on
      other properties (#size-cells, #clock-cells, ...), to specify the number
      of cells needed.
      
      Another problem with the current implementation is the use of
      ambiguously sized types (uintptr_t, size_t) together with a certain
      expectation about their size. In general there is no relation between
      the length of a DT property and the bitness of the code that parses the
      DTB: AArch64 code could encounter 32-bit addresses (where the physical
      address space is limited to 4GB [1]), while AArch32 code could read
      64-bit sized properties (/memory nodes on LPAE systems, [2]).
      
      To make this more clear, fix the potential issues and also align more
      with other DT users (Linux and U-Boot), introduce functions to explicitly
      read uint32 and uint64 properties. As the other DT consumers, we do this
      based on the generic "read array" function.
      Convert all users to use either of those two new functions, and make
      sure we never use a pointer to anything other than uint32_t or uint64_t
      variables directly.
      
      This reveals (and fixes) a bug in plat_spmd_manifest.c, where we write
      4 bytes into a uint16_t variable (passed via a void pointer).
      
      Also we change the implementation of the function to better align with
      other libfdt users, by using the right types (fdt32_t) and common
      variable names (*prop, prop_names).

      This patch adds code to parse memory range information passed by
      coreboot, and a simple helper to test whether a specific address belongs
      to a range. This may be useful for coreboot-using platforms that need to
      know information about the system's memory layout (e.g. to check whether
      an address passed in via SMC targets valid DRAM).

      locks: bakery: use is_dcache_enabled() helper · 11504163
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      bakery_lock_normal.c uses the raw register accessor, read_sctlr(_el3)
      to check whether the dcache is enabled.
      
      Using is_dcache_enabled() is cleaner, and a good abstraction for
      the library code like this.
      
      A problem is is_dcache_enabled() is declared in the local header,
      lib/xlat_tables_v2/xlat_tables_private.h
      
      I searched for a good place to declare this helper. Moving it to
      arch_helpers.h, closed to cache operation helpers, looks good enough
      to me.
      
      I also changed the type of 'is_cached' to bool for consistency,
      and to avoid MISRA warnings.

      xlat lib v2: Add support to pass shareability attribute for normal memory region · 06aca857
      Pramod Kumar authored
      
      
      Present framework restricts platform to pass desired shareability attribute
      for normal memory region mapped in MMU. it defaults to inner shareability.
      
      There are platforms where memories (like SRAM) are not placed at snoopable
      region in advaned interconnect like CCN/CMN hence snoopable transaction is
      not possible to these memory. Though These memories could be mapped in MMU
      as MT_NON_CACHEABLE, data caches benefits won't be available.
      
      If these memories are mapped as cacheable with non-shareable attribute,
      when only one core is running like at boot time, MMU data cached could be
      used for faster execution. Hence adding support to pass the shareability
      attribute for memory regions.

      xlat_tables_v2: fix assembler warning of PLAT_RO_XLAT_TABLES · 268131c2
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      If PLAT_RO_XLAT_TABLES is defined, the base xlat table goes to the
      .rodata section instead of .bss section.
      
      This causes a warning like:
      
      /tmp/ccswitLr.s: Assembler messages:
      /tmp/ccswitLr.s:297: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata
      
      It is practically no problem, but I want to keep the build log clean.
      
      Put the base table into the "base_xlat_table" section to suppress the
      assembler warnings.
      
      The linker script determines its final destination; rodata section if
      PLAT_RO_XLAT_TABLES=1, or bss section otherwise. So, the result is the
      same.

      fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c calls FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR(), which populates

      However, bl1/bl1.ld.S does not have:

              KEEP(*(.fconf_populator))
              __FCONF_POPULATOR_END__ = .;
      
      So, this is not linked to bl1.elf
      
      We could change either bl1/bl1.lds.S or lib/fconf/fconf.mk to make
      them consistent.
      
      I chose to fix up fconf.mk to keep the current behavior.
      
      This is a groundwork to factor out the common code from linker scripts.

      - propagate DEFINES when parsing dts.
      - use ARM_IO_IN_DTB to include or not uuid nodes in fw_config dtb.
      - set the ARM_IO_IN_DTB to 0 by default for fvp. This ensure that the behavior

      fconf: enhancements to firmware configuration framework · 25d740c4
      Madhukar Pappireddy authored
      
      
      A populate() function essentially captures the value of a property,
      defined by a platform, into a fconf related c structure. Such a
      callback is usually platform specific and is associated to a specific
      configuration source.
      For example, a populate() function which captures the hardware topology
      of the platform can only parse HW_CONFIG DTB. Hence each populator
      function must be registered with a specific 'config_type' identifier.
      It broadly represents a logical grouping of configuration properties
      which is usually a device tree source file.
      
      Example:
      > TB_FW: properties related to trusted firmware such as IO policies,
      	 base address of other DTBs, mbedtls heap info etc.
      > HW_CONFIG: properties related to hardware configuration of the SoC
      	 such as topology, GIC controller, PSCI hooks, CPU ID etc.
      
      This patch modifies FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR macro and fconf_populate()
      to register and invoke the appropriate callbacks selectively based on
      configuration type.

      locks: bakery: add a DMB to the 'read_cache_op' macro · d439cea9
      Varun Wadekar authored
      
      
      ARM has a weak memory ordering model. This means that without
      explicit barriers, memory accesses can be observed differently
      than program order. In this case, the cache invalidate instruction
      can be observed after the subsequent read to address.
      
      To solve this, a DMB instruction is required between the cache
      invalidate and the read. This ensures that the cache invalidate
      completes before all memory accesses in program order after the DMB.
      
      This patch updates the 'read_cache_op' macro to issue a DMB after
      the cache invalidate instruction to fix this anomaly.

      coreboot: Use generic base address · e21a788e
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      Since now the generic console_t structure holds the UART base address as
      well, let's use that generic location for the coreboot memory console.
      This removes the base member from the coreboot specific data structure,
      but keeps the struct console_cbmc_t and its size member.

      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.

      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.

      fconf: Add mbedtls shared heap as property · 6c972317
      Louis Mayencourt authored
      
      
      Use the firmware configuration framework in arm dynamic configuration
      to retrieve mbedtls heap information between bl1 and bl2.
      
      For this, a new fconf getter is added to expose the device tree base
      address and size.

      fconf: Add dynamic config DTBs info as property · 25ac8794
      Louis Mayencourt authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a better separation between the trusted-boot
      related properties, and the dynamic configuration DTBs loading
      information.
      
      The dynamic configuration DTBs properties are moved to a new node:
      `dtb-registry`. All the sub-nodes present will be provided to the
      dynamic config framework to be loaded. The node currently only contains
      the already defined configuration DTBs, but can be extended for future
      features if necessary.
      The dynamic config framework is modified to use the abstraction provided
      by the fconf framework, instead of directly accessing the DTBs.
      
      The trusted-boot properties are kept under the "arm,tb_fw" compatible
      string, but in a separate `tb_fw-config` node.
      The `tb_fw-config` property of the `dtb-registry` node simply points
      to the load address of `fw_config`, as the `tb_fw-config` is currently
      part of the same DTB.

      Move the loading of the dtb from arm_dym_cfg to fconf. The new loading
      function is not associated to arm platform anymore, and can be moved
      to bl_main if wanted.

      fconf: initial commit · ab1981db
      Louis Mayencourt authored
      
      
      Introduce the Firmware CONfiguration Framework (fconf).
      
      The fconf is an abstraction layer for platform specific data, allowing
      a "property" to be queried and a value retrieved without the requesting
      entity knowing what backing store is being used to hold the data.
      
      The default backing store used is C structure. If another backing store
      has to be used, the platform integrator needs to provide a "populate()"
      function to fill the corresponding C structure.
      The "populate()" function must be registered to the fconf framework with
      the "FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR()". This ensures that the function would
      be called inside the "fconf_populate()" function.
      
      A two level macro is used as getter:
      - the first macro takes 3 parameters and converts it to a function
        call: FCONF_GET_PROPERTY(a,b,c) -> a__b_getter(c).
      - the second level defines a__b_getter(c) to the matching C structure,
        variable, array, function, etc..
      
      Ex: Get a Chain of trust property:
          1) FCONF_GET_PROPERY(tbbr, cot, BL2_id) -> tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id)
          2) tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id) -> cot_desc_ptr[BL2_id]
