      Sanitise includes across codebase · 09d40e0e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
      
      The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
      
      - include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
      - include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
      
      The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
      includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
      folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
      you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
      of them).
      
      For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
      called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
      to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
      problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
      
      This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339
      
       ("Move include and
      source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
      many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
      this creates problems.
      
      Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
      removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

      Revert "tbbr: Use constant-time bcmp() to compare hashes" · fabd21ad
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      This reverts commit b621fb50
      
      .
      
      Because of the Trusted Firmware design, timing-safe functions are not
      needed. Using them may be misleading as it could be interpreted as being
      a protection against private data leakage, which isn't the case here.
      
      For each image, the SHA-256 hash is calculated. Some padding is appended
      and the result is encrypted with a private key using RSA-2048. This is
      the signature of the image. The public key is stored along with BL1 in
      read-only memory and the encrypted hash is stored in the FIP.
      
      When authenticating an image, the TF decrypts the hash stored in the FIP
      and recalculates the hash of the image. If they don't match, the boot
      sequence won't continue.
      
      A constant-time comparison does not provide additional security as all
      the data involved in this process is already known to any attacker.
      There is no private data that can leaked through a timing attack when
      authenticating an image.
      
      `timingsafe_bcmp()` is kept in the codebase because it could be useful
      in the future.

      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
      structure by applying the following transformation:
      memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))
      
      As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
      compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
      the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
      for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
      and AArch64.

      tbbr: Use constant-time bcmp() to compare hashes · b621fb50
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      To avoid timing side-channel attacks, it is needed to use a constant
      time memory comparison function when comparing hashes. The affected
      code only cheks for equality so it isn't needed to use any variant of
      memcmp(), bcmp() is enough.
      
      Also, timingsafe_bcmp() is as fast as memcmp() when the two compared
      regions are equal, so this change incurrs no performance hit in said
      case. In case they are unequal, the boot sequence wouldn't continue as
      normal, so performance is not an issue.

      Clear static variables in X509 parser on error · 51c5e1a2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      In mbedtls_x509_parser.c there are some static arrays that are filled
      during the integrity check and then read whenever an authentication
      parameter is requested. However, they aren't cleared in case of an
      integrity check failure, which can be problematic from a security
      point of view. This patch clears these arrays in the case of failure.

      TBB: add non-volatile counter support · 48279d52
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
      the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
      counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
      in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
      the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
      the system against rollback.
      
      The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
      authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
      world images and another for the non trusted world images.
      
      ** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **
      
      int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);
      
          This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
          in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
          used to select the counter in case the platform provides
          more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
          trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
          in the CoT.
      
      int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);
      
          This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
          used to select the counter to be updated.
      
      An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
      provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
      Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
      This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
      must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
      have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.
      
      ** IMPORTANT **
      
      THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
      NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
      ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

      Move up to mbed TLS 2.x · 649dbf6f
      Juan Castillo authored
      The mbed TLS library has introduced some changes in the API from
      the 1.3.x to the 2.x releases. Using the 2.x releases requires
      some changes to the crypto and transport modules.
      
      This patch updates both modules to the mbed TLS 2.x API.
      
      All references to the mbed TLS library in the code or documentation
      have been updated to 'mbed TLS'. Old references to PolarSSL have
      been updated to 'mbed TLS'.
      
      User guide updated to use mbed TLS 2.2.0.
      
      NOTE: moving up to mbed TLS 2.x from 1.3.x is not backward compatible.
      Applying this patch will require an mbed TLS 2.x release to be used.
      Also note that the mbed TLS license changed to Apache version 2.0.

      TBB: add mbedTLS authentication related libraries · 7d37aa17
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries:
      
      * Cryptographic library
      
      It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature
      and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the
      cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained
      separately.
      
      Two key algorithms are currently supported:
      
          * RSA-2048
          * ECDSA-SECP256R1
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the required
      algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the
      platform makefile. Available options are:
      
          * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
          * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)
      
      Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256.
      
      * Image parser library
      
      Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication
      parameters stored in X509v3 certificates.
