      Add ARMv8.3-PAuth registers to CPU context · 5283962e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      ARMv8.3-PAuth adds functionality that supports address authentication of
      the contents of a register before that register is used as the target of
      an indirect branch, or as a load.
      
      This feature is supported only in AArch64 state.
      
      This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.3 implementations.
      
      This feature adds several registers to EL1. A new option called
      CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS has been added to select if the TF needs to save
      them during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches. This option must be
      enabled if the hardware has the registers or the values will be leaked
      during world switches.
      
      To prevent leaks, this patch also disables pointer authentication in the
      Secure world if CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS is 0. Any attempt to use it will
      be trapped in EL3.

      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.

      AArch64: Enable lower ELs to use pointer authentication · 3ff4aaac
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Pointer authentication is an Armv8.3 feature that introduces
      instructions that can be used to authenticate and verify pointers.
      
      Pointer authentication instructions are allowed to be accessed from all
      ELs but only when EL3 explicitly allows for it; otherwise, their usage
      will trap to EL3. Since EL3 doesn't have trap handling in place, this
      patch unconditionally disables all related traps to EL3 to avoid
      potential misconfiguration leading to an unhandled EL3 exception.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#629

      context_mgmt: Fix HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST implementation · 24f671f3
      Julius Werner authored
      This patch fixes a bug in the context management code that causes it to
      ignore the HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST compile-time option and instead always
      configure SCR_EL3 to force all external aborts to trap into EL3. The
      code used #ifdef to read compile-time option declared with add_define in
      the Makefile... however, those options are always defined, they're just
      defined to either 0 or 1, so #if is the correct syntax to check for
      them. Also update the documentation to match.
      
      This bug has existed since the Nov 2017 commit 76454abf
      
       (AArch64:
      Introduce External Abort handling), which changed the
      HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST option to use add_define.

      AArch64: Enable MPAM for lower ELs · 5f835918
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Memory Partitioning And Monitoring is an Armv8.4 feature that enables
      various memory system components and resources to define partitions.
      Software running at various ELs can then assign themselves to the
      desired partition to control their performance aspects.
      
      With this patch, when ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS is set to 1, EL3 allows
      lower ELs to access their own MPAM registers without trapping to EL3.
      This patch however doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3; platform
      initialisation code should configure and use partitions in EL3 if
      required.

      lib: el3_runtime: initialise actlr_el1 to hardware defaults · 2ab9617e
      Varun Wadekar authored
      
      
      The context management library initialises the CPU context for the
      secure/non-secure worlds to zero. This leads to zeros being stored
      to the actual registers when we restore the CPU context, during a
      world switch. Denver CPUs dont expect zero to be written to the
      implementation defined, actlr_el1 register, at any point of time.
      Writing a zero to some fields of this register, results in an
      UNDEFINED exception.
      
      This patch bases the context actlr_el1 value on the actual hardware
      register, to maintain parity with the expected settings

      RAS: Add fault injection support · 1a7c1cfe

      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.

      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.

      Init and save / restore of PMCR_EL0 / PMCR · 3e61b2b5
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in
      the secure context or save/restore the register.
      
      In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit
      cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting
      generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE
      to 0.
      
      This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state
      to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields
      that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value.
      
      Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are
      saved and restored during a world switch.
      
      Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state.
      
      NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0
      will be impacted.

      Fully initialise essential control registers · 18f2efd6
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      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:

      Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized

      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.

      Use #ifdef for IMAGE_BL* instead of #if · 3d8256b2
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      One nasty part of ATF is some of boolean macros are always defined
      as 1 or 0, and the rest of them are only defined under certain
      conditions.
      
      For the former group, "#if FOO" or "#if !FOO" must be used because
      "#ifdef FOO" is always true.  (Options passed by $(call add_define,)
      are the cases.)
      
      For the latter, "#ifdef FOO" or "#ifndef FOO" should be used because
      checking the value of an undefined macro is strange.
      
      Here, IMAGE_BL* is handled by make_helpers/build_macro.mk like
      follows:
      
        $(eval IMAGE := IMAGE_BL$(call uppercase,$(3)))
      
        $(OBJ): $(2)
                @echo "  CC      $$<"
                $$(Q)$$(CC) $$(TF_CFLAGS) $$(CFLAGS) -D$(IMAGE) -c $$< -o $$@
      
      This means, IMAGE_BL* is defined when building the corresponding
      image, but *undefined* for the other images.
      
      So, IMAGE_BL* belongs to the latter group where we should use #ifdef
      or #ifndef.

      Reset EL2 and EL3 configurable controls · 939f66d6
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      This patch resets EL2 and EL3 registers that have architecturally

      and trap controls.
      
      Specifically, the EL2 physical timer is disabled to prevent timer
      interrups into EL2 - CNTHP_CTL_EL2 and CNTHP_CTL for AArch64 and AArch32,
      respectively.
      
      Additionally, for AArch64, HSTR_EL2 is reset to avoid unexpected traps of
      non-secure access to certain system registers at EL1 or lower.
      
      For AArch32, the patch also reverts the reset to SDCR which was
      incorrectly added in a previous change.

      and SDCR and HDCR for AArch32.
      
      MDCR_EL3/SDCR is zero'ed when EL3/MON mode is entered, at the
      start of BL1 and BL31/SMP_MIN.
      
      For MDCR_EL2/HDCR, this patch zero's the bits that are
      architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset. This is done when
      exiting from EL3/MON mode but only on platforms that support
      EL2/HYP mode but choose to exit to EL1/SVC mode.

      Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries · 532ed618
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
      management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
      `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
      BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
      PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
      are done as part of this patch are:
      
      * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
        enable reuse.
      * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
        specific folder.
      * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
        to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
        just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.
      
      Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
      changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.
      
      NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
      THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
      MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

      Rework type usage in Trusted Firmware · 4c0d0390
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
      to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
      type usage are as listed below:
      
      * Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
      * Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
      * Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
        whether AArch64 or AArch32.
      * Use generic C types where-ever possible.
      
      In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
      in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
      related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

      Enable asynchronous abort exceptions during boot · adb4fcfb
      Gerald Lejeune authored
      
      
      Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
      not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
      
      Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
      initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
      cold boot.
      
      A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
      being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
      
      For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
      aborts.
      
      On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
      EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.
      
      Fixes arm-software/tf-issues#368

      Move context management code to common location · bbf8f6f9
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      The upcoming Firmware Update feature needs transitioning across
      Secure/Normal worlds to complete the FWU process and hence requires
      context management code to perform this task.
      
      Currently context management code is part of BL31 stage only.
      This patch moves the code from (include)/bl31 to (include)/common.
      Some function declarations/definitions and macros have also moved
      to different files to help code sharing.

      Initialize VTTBR_EL2 when bypassing EL2 · 85d80e55
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      In the situation that EL1 is selected as the exception level for the
      next image upon BL31 exit for a processor that supports EL2, the
      context management code must configure all essential EL2 register
      state to ensure correct execution of EL1.
      
      VTTBR_EL2 should be part of this set of EL2 registers because:
       - The ARMv8-A architecture does not define a reset value for this
         register.
       - Cache maintenance operations depend on VTTBR_EL2.VMID even when
         non-secure EL1&0 stage 2 address translation are disabled.
      
      This patch initializes the VTTBR_EL2 register to 0 when bypassing EL2
      to address this issue. Note that this bug has not yet manifested
      itself on FVP or Juno because VTTBR_EL2.VMID resets to 0 on the
      Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57.

      Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED · 7a24cba5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
      Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
      build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
      WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
      trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
      is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
      When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
      inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.
      
      Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
      conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
      so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
      ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.
      
      NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
      using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
      trigger a build error.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.
