      RAS: Add fault injection support · 1a7c1cfe
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The ARMv8.4 RAS extensions introduce architectural support for software
      to inject faults into the system in order to test fault-handling
      software. This patch introduces the build option FAULT_HANDLING_SUPPORT
      to allow for lower ELs to use registers in the Standard Error Record to
      inject fault. The build option RAS_EXTENSIONS must also be enabled along
      with fault injection.
      
      This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to
      keep disabled for production images.

      AArch64: Introduce RAS handling · 14c6016a
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      RAS extensions are mandatory for ARMv8.2 CPUs, but are also optional
      extensions to base ARMv8.0 architecture.
      
      This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM
      Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for
      this.
      
      With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is
      inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending
      external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and
      attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are
      detected via. DISR_EL1 register.
      
      When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

      AArch64: Introduce External Abort handling · 76454abf
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
      exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
      handle External Aborts routed to EL3.
      
      With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
      is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
      own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
      of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.
      
      In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
      HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.
      
      Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
      compilation; this patch fixes that too.

      Add support for the SMC Calling Convention 2.0 · 2f370465
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Due to differences in the bitfields of the SMC IDs, it is not possible
      to support SMCCC 1.X and 2.0 at the same time.
      
      The behaviour of `SMCCC_MAJOR_VERSION` has changed. Now, it is a build
      option that specifies the major version of the SMCCC that the Trusted
      Firmware supports. The only two allowed values are 1 and 2, and it
      defaults to 1. The value of `SMCCC_MINOR_VERSION` is derived from it.
      
      Note: Support for SMCCC v2.0 is an experimental feature to enable
      prototyping of secure partition specifications. Support for this
      convention is disabled by default and could be removed without notice.

      Add support for BL2 in XIP memory · 7d173fc5
      Jiafei Pan authored
      
      
      In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place (XIP) memory,
      like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize the RW sections
      in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This patch enable this
      use-case with a new build option, BL2_IN_XIP_MEM. For now, this option
      is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3 is 1.

      Improve MULTI_CONSOLE_API deprecation warnings · bc1a03c7
      Dan Handley authored
      
      
      For platforms that have not migrated to MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1, there
      are a lot of confusing deprecated declaration warnings relating to
      use of console_init() and console_uninit(). Some of these relate to use
      by the generic code, not the platform code. These functions are not really
      deprecated but *removed* when MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.
      
      This patch consolidates these warnings into a single preprocessor warning.
      The __deprecated attribute is removed from the console_init() and
      console_uninit() declarations.
      
      For preprocessor warnings like this to not cause fatal build errors,
      this patch adds -Wno-error=cpp to the build flags when
      ERROR_DEPRECATED == 0.
      This option (and -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations) is now added to
      CPPFLAGS instead of TF_CFLAGS to ensure the build flags are used in the
      assembler as well as the compiler.
      
      This patch also disentangles the MULTI_CONSOLE_API and ERROR_DEPRECATED
      build flags by defaulting MULTI_CONSOLE_API to 0 instead of
      ERROR_DEPRECATED. This allows platforms that have not migrated to
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API to use ERROR_DEPRECATED == 1 to emit a more meaningful
      build error.
      
      Finally, this patch bans use of MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1 and AARCH32, since
      the AArch32 console implementation does not support
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.

      Add platform-independent coreboot support library · 3429c77a
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch adds the foundation for a platform-independent coreboot
      support library that can be shared by all platforms that boot BL31 from
      coreboot (acting as BL2). It adds code to parse the "coreboot table", a
      data structure that coreboot uses to communicate different kinds of
      information to later-stage firmware and certain OS drivers.
      
      As a first small use case for this information, allow platforms to
      access the serial console configuration used by coreboot, removing the
      need to hardcode base address and divisors and allowing Trusted Firmware
      to benefit from coreboot's user configuration (e.g. which UART to pick
      and which baud rate to use).

      bl2-el3: Add BL2_EL3 image · b1d27b48
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      This patch enables BL2 to execute at the highest exception level
      without any dependancy on TF BL1. This enables platforms which already
      have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load and execute BL2 and subsequent BL
      stages without need for BL1.  This is not currently possible because
      BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to EL3.

      Add new function-pointer-based console API · 9536bae6
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
      instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
      of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
      consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
      that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
      operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.
      
      The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
      which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
      will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
      should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
      be removed at some point in the future.
      
      The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
      crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
      console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
      active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
      handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
      default upon registration that can be overridden with the
      console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
      to this framework will be added with a later patch.
      
      This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
      to AArch32 as well if desired.

      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.

      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).

      SPM: Introduce Secure Partition Manager · 2fccb228
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
      S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
      services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
      Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
      granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
      software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
      the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
      
      - Memory and device regions in the system address map.
      - PE system registers.
      - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
      - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
      
      A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
      absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
      a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
      cannot be overly complex.
      
      The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
      Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
      responsible for the following:
      
      - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
        and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil service requests.
      - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil a service request.

      GIC: Add APIs to set interrupt type and query support · 74dce7fa
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
      suitable group.
      
      For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
      determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.
      
       - When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
         meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.
      
       - Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
         will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.
      
      The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports
      interrupts of a given type.
      
      API documentation updated.

      cert: move platform_oid.h to include/tools_share for all platforms · bb41eb7a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      Platforms aligned with TBBR are supposed to use their own OIDs, but
      defining the same macros with different OIDs does not provide any
      value (at least technically).
      
      For easier use of TBBR, this commit allows platforms to reuse the OIDs
      obtained by ARM Ltd.  This will be useful for non-ARM vendors that
      do not need their own extension fields in their certificate files.
      
      The OIDs of ARM Ltd. have been moved to include/tools_share/tbbr_oid.h
      
      Platforms can include <tbbr_oid.h> instead of <platform_oid.h> by
      defining USE_TBBR_DEFS as 1.  USE_TBBR_DEFS is 0 by default to keep the
      backward compatibility.
      
      For clarification, I inserted a blank line between headers from the
      include/ directory (#include <...>) and ones from a local directory
      (#include "..." ).

      PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot · bcc3c49c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
      after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
      interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
      platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
      D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

      Add support for GCC stack protection · 51faada7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
      compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
      options.
      
      A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
      It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
      corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
      from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
      protection.
      
      A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
      detected.
      
      To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
      lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
      attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
      the protection.
      
      FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
      there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
      timer's value, which could be predictable.

      Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction · c877b414
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
      atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
      is only available for AArch64.
      
      Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
      ARM Trusted Firmware:
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 8.
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 0.
      
      When:
      
        (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
      
      for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
      locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
      load-/store-exclusive instructions.
      
      Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
      summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
      Extensions.

      fiptool: support --align option to add desired alignment to image offset · 1c75d5df
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
      them.  So, the offset to each image has no alignment.  This is not
      efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
      device.
      
      For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing.  The block size
      is 512 byte.  So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
      since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
      address directly.  The worst case is the offset does not have even
      DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now).  In this case,
      we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
      from the bounce buffer to our final destination.  At least, this
      should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
      CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
      
      This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool.  This option,
      if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
      by the specified byte.  Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
      easier access to this feature; users can give something like
      FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
      their platform.mk file.
