      Rearrange fields in TF data structures to reduce padding · b313d755
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch rearranges fields of the `image_desc_t` & `auth_img_desc_t`
      data structures to reduce padding between the fields and thereby
      save memory.
      
      NOTE: Platform ports which anonymously initialize these structures
      should be aware of the rearrangement and do the required
      modification.

      Always build with '-pedantic' · aa856917
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      By default ARM TF is built with the '-pedantic' compiler flag, which
      helps detecting violations of the C standard. However, the mbed TLS
      library and its associated authentication module in TF used to fail
      building with this compiler flag. As a workaround, the mbed TLS
      authentication module makefile used to set the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC'
      TF build flag.
      
      The compiler errors flagged by '-pedantic' in the mbed TLS library
      have been fixed between versions 1.3.9 and 2.2.0 and the library now
      properly builds with this compiler flag.
      
      This patch fixes the remaining compiler errors in the mbed TLS
      authentication module in TF and unsets the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC' TF
      build flag. This means that TF is now always built with '-pedantic'.
      
      In particular, this patch:
      
       * Removes the final semi-colon in REGISTER_COT() macro.
      
         This semi-colon was causing the following error message:
      
         drivers/auth/tbbr/tbbr_cot.c:544:23: error: ISO C does not allow
         extra ';' outside of a function [-Werror=pedantic]
      
         This has been fixed both in the mbed TLS authentication module
         as well as in the certificate generation tool. Note that the latter
         code didn't need fixing since it is not built with '-pedantic' but
         the change has been propagated for consistency.
      
         Also fixed the REGISTER_KEYS() and REGISTER_EXTENSIONS() macros,
         which were suffering from the same issue.
      
       * Fixes a pointer type.
      
         It was causing the following error message:
      
         drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c: In function 'verify_hash':
         drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c:177:42: error: pointer of
         type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]

      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.

      TBB: add authentication framework · 05799ae0
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
      the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
      The framework comprises the following modules:
      
      - Image Parser Module (IPM)
      
          This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
          their integrity and extract authentication information from
          them during Trusted Board Boot.
      
          The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
          raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
          a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
          each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
          which is included in the main module by default).
      
          Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
          specific linker section which contains function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
                 the library
              3. Extract authentication information from the image
      
      - Cryptographic Module (CM)
      
          This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
          and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
          to perform the cryptographic operations.
      
          To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
          REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Verify a digital signature
              3. Verify a hash
      
          Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
          a build time error.
      
      - Authentication Module (AM)
      
          This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
          hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
          module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
          to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
          authenticate the images.
      
          The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
          dependencies between images and the authentication methods
          that must be followed to authenticate an image.
      
      The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
      cot_def.h with the following definitions:
      
      - COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS
      
          Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
          parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
          authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
          the parameters in the image descriptor.
