Check_vector_size checks if the size of the vector fits in the size reserved for it. This check creates problems in the Clang assembler. A new macro, end_vector_entry, is added and check_vector_size is deprecated. This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next exception vector. If the size of the current vector is bigger than 32 instructions then it gives an error. Change-Id: Ie8545cf1003a1e31656a1018dd6b4c28a4eaf671 Signed-off-by: Roberto Vargas <roberto.vargas@arm.com>

Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems. This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces MMU-enabling without using stacks. Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same time. NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2, disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

SDEI event dispatches currently only sets up the Non-secure context before returning to the caller. The actual dispatch only happens upon exiting EL3 next time. However, for various error handling scenarios, it's beneficial to have the dispatch happen synchronously. I.e. when receiving SDEI interrupt, or for a successful sdei_dispatch_event() call, the event handler is executed; and upon the event completion, dispatcher execution resumes after the point of dispatch. The jump primitives introduced in the earlier patch facilitates this feature. With this patch: - SDEI interrupts and calls to sdei_dispatch_event prepares the NS context for event dispatch, then sets a jump point, and immediately exits EL3. This results in the client handler executing in Non-secure. - When the SDEI client completes the dispatched event, the SDEI dispatcher does a longjmp to the jump pointer created earlier. For the caller of the sdei_dispatch_event() in particular, this would appear as if call returned successfully. The dynamic workaround for CVE_2018_3639 is slightly shifted around as part of related minor refactoring. It doesn't affect the workaround functionality. Documentation updated. NOTE: This breaks the semantics of the explicit dispatch API, and any exiting usages should be carefully reviewed.

This patch introduces setjmp() and ongjmp() primitives to enable standard setjmp/longjmp style execution. Both APIs parameters take a pointer to struct jmpbuf type, which hosts CPU registers saved/restored during jump. As per the standard usage: - setjmp() return 0 when a jump is setup; and a non-zero value when returning from jump. - The caller of setjmp() must not return, or otherwise update stack pointer since.

The translation tables allocated for the Secure Partition do not need to be treated as a special case. They can be put amongst the other tables mapping BL31's general purpose memory. They will be mapped with the same attributes as them, which is fine. The explicit alignment constraint in BL31's linker script to pad the last page of memory allocated to the Secure Partition's translation tables is useless too, as page tables are per se pages, thus their end address is naturally aligned on a page-boundary. In fact, this patch does not change the existing behaviour. Since patch 22282bb6 ("SPM: Move all SP-related info to SP context struct"), the secure_partition.c file has been renamed into sp_xlat.c but the linker script has not been properly updated. As a result, the SP translation tables are not specifically put at the start of the xlat_table linker section, the __SP_IMAGE_XLAT_TABLES_START__/_END__ symbols have the same value, the size of the resulting mmap_region covering these xlat tables is 0 and so it is ignored.

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.

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.

At present, the function that restores general purpose registers also does ERET. Refactor the restore code to restore general purpose registers without ERET to complement the save function. The macro save_x18_to_x29_sp_el0 was used only once, and is therefore removed, and its contents expanded inline for readability. No functional changes, but with this patch: - The SMC return path will incur an branch-return and an additional register load. - The unknown SMC path restores registers x0 to x3.

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.

Some generic compatibility functions emit deprecated declaration warnings even when platforms do not use the deprecated functions directly. This can be confusing. Suppress these warnings by using: `#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"` Also emit a runtime warning if the weak plat/common implemntation of plat_get_syscnt_freq2() is used, as this implies the platform has not migrated from plat_get_syscnt_freq(). The deprecated declaration warnings only help detect when platforms are calling deprecated functions, not when they are defining deprecated functions.

When a Yielding SMC is preempted, it's possible that Non-secure world is resumed afterwards. In this case, Non-secure execution would find itself in a state where the SMC has returned. However, the dispatcher might not get an opportunity to populate the corrected return code for having been preempted, and therefore the caller of the Yielding SMC cannot reliably determine whether the SMC had successfully completed or had been preempted. To solve this, this patch introduces a new parameter to the ehf_allow_ns_preemption() API. An SPD, through this parameter, would provide the expected error code when a Yielding SMC is preempted. EHF can then populate the specified value in x0 of the Non-secure context so that the caller of the Yielding SMC correctly identifies the SMC return as a preemption. Documentation updates to follow.

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure that they are the same. This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic. The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header where the functions are. Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation tables have been fixed.

This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file. Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise the other registers are available for platform use.

According to the SMC Calling Convention (ARM DEN0028B): The Unknown SMC Function Identifier is a sign-extended value of (-1) that is returned in R0, W0 or X0 register. The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit unsigned value (0xFFFFFFFF). SMC_PREEMPT has been redefined as -2 for the same reason. NOTE: This might be a compatibility break for some AArch64 platforms that don't follow the previous version of the SMCCC (ARM DEN0028A) correctly. That document specifies that only the bottom 32 bits of the returned value must be checked. If a platform relies on the top 32 bits of the result being 0 (so that SMC_UNK is 0x00000000FFFFFFFF), it will have to fix its code to comply with the SMCCC.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the `BPIALL` instruction. This is achieved by using 3 vector tables. There is the runtime vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional tables which are required to implement this workaround. The additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`. The sequence of events for handling a single exception is as follows: 1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled. This is the default vector table. 2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to another vector table `vbar1`. This is required to restore EL3 state when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3 exception handling. 3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an SMC call back to EL3 is performed. 4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is restored. The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to handle further exceptions. Finally a branch to the runtime vector table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original exception. This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs. NOTE ==== There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1. Each stub corresponds to an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError. Each stub will move a different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3. Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling and enabling the MMU. To achieve this without performing any branch instruction, a per-cpu vbar is installed which executes the workaround and then branches off to the corresponding vector entry in the main vector table. A side effect of this change is that the main vbar is configured before any reset handling. This is to allow the per-cpu reset function to override the vbar setting. This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs. Change-Id: I97788d38463a5840a410e3cea85ed297a1678265 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Papastamos <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>

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. Change-Id: Ie2d733ddaba0b9bef1d7c9765503155188fe7dae Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

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 Change-Id: Iab80abcbfe302752d52b323b4abcc334b585c184 Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3 interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs [1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC (previously called Atomic SMC) calls. To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe to events introduced in an earlier commit: - Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority. - Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure PMR is restored. The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API exc_allow_ns_preemption() is introduced that programs the PMR to the original Non-secure PMR value. Another API exc_is_ns_preemption_allowed() is also introduced to check if exc_allow_ns_preemption() had been called previously. API documentation to follow. [1] On GICv2 systems, this isn't a problem as, unlike GICv3, pending NS IRQs during Secure execution are signalled as IRQs, which aren't routed to EL3.

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).

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.

This light-weight framework enables some EL3 components to publish events which other EL3 components can subscribe to. Publisher can optionally pass opaque data for subscribers. The order in which subscribers are called is not defined. Firmware design updated. Change-Id: I24a3a70b2b1dedcb1f73cf48313818aebf75ebb6 Signed-off-by: Jeenu Viswambharan <jeenu.viswambharan@arm.com>

Some error paths that lead to a crash dump will overwrite the value in the x30 register by calling functions with the no_ret macro, which resolves to a BL instruction. This is not very useful and not what the reader would expect, since a crash dump should usually show all registers in the state they were in when the exception happened. This patch replaces the offending function calls with a B instruction to preserve the value in x30.

This fix modifies the order of system includes to meet the ARM TF coding standard. There are some exceptions in order to retain header groupings, minimise changes to imported headers, and where there are headers within the #if and #ifndef statements.

This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware to set the reset values. The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower EL. This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1. This patch also corrects the following typos: "NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions" Change-Id: Ia8940b8351dc27bc09e2138b011e249655041cfc Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>
