      linker_script: move bss section to bl_common.ld.h · a7739bc7
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      Move the bss section to the common header. This adds BAKERY_LOCK_NORMAL
      and PMF_TIMESTAMP, which previously existed only in BL31. This is not
      a big deal because unused data should not be compiled in the first
      place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES in Makefiles,
      not by linker scripts.
      
      I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3,
      BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more  unexpected
      code addition.
      
      The bss section has bigger alignment. I added BSS_ALIGN for this.
      
      Currently, SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT() is missing in sp_min.ld.S, and with this
      change, the BSS symbols in SP_MIN will be sorted by the alignment.
      This is not a big deal (or, even better in terms of the image size).

      linker_script: replace common read-only data with RODATA_COMMON · 0a0a7a9a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often
      twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you
      add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of
      places.
      
      After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when
      you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON.
      
      Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains
      6 sections, some of which did not exist before.
      
      This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled
      in the first place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES
      in Makefiles, not by linker scripts.
      
      When I was working on this commit, the BL1 image size increased
      due to the fconf_populator. Commit c452ba15
      
       ("fconf: exclude
      fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES") fixed this issue.
      
      I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3,
      BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more  unexpected
      code addition.

      linker_script: move more common code to bl_common.ld.h · 9fb288a0
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      These are mostly used to collect data from special structure,
      and repeated in many linker scripts.
      
      To differentiate the alignment size between aarch32/aarch64, I added
      a new macro STRUCT_ALIGN.
      
      While I moved the PMF_SVC_DESCS, I dropped #if ENABLE_PMF conditional.
      As you can see in include/lib/pmf/pmf_helpers.h, PMF_REGISTER_SERVICE*
      are no-op when ENABLE_PMF=0. So, pmf_svc_descs and pmf_timestamp_array
      data are not populated.

      Factor xlat_table sections in linker scripts out into a header file · 665e71b8
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL
      image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite
      similar code (and comments).
      
      When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching
      so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective.
      
      When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in
      include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch
      linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
      
      TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into
      include/common/bl_common.ld.h
      
      As a start point, this commit factors out the xlat_table section.

      Refactor ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication support code · ed108b56
      Alexei Fedorov authored
      
      
      This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
      listed below:
      - Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
      - New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
      - Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
        of cpu_data structure.
      - `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
        which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
        value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
        The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
      - ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
      - New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
        generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
        pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
        PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
        `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
        cpu-data structure.
      - Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
        `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
        `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
        and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
      - `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
        code placed in `el3_exit()`.
      - Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
        for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
        CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
        and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
      - Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
        in `msr	spsel`  instruction instead of hard-coded values.
      - Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

      Enable MTE support in both secure and non-secure worlds · 9dd94382
      Justin Chadwell authored
      
      
      This patch adds support for the new Memory Tagging Extension arriving in
      ARMv8.5. MTE support is now enabled by default on systems that support
      at EL0. To enable it at ELx for both the non-secure and the secure
      world, the compiler flag CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS includes register saving
      and restoring when necessary in order to prevent register leakage
      between the worlds.

      Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with compiler-builtin __ASSEMBLER__ · d5dfdeb6
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__.
      
      All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when
      preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own
      __ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the
      export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency),
      let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the
      predefined standard.

      Add support for Branch Target Identification · 9fc59639
      Alexei Fedorov authored
      
      
      This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
      Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
      in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
      for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
      Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
      pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
      pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
      than BTI.
      BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
      the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
      and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
      and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
      The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
      instruction.
      This is an experimental feature.
      Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
      is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
      used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
      Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

      Apply stricter speculative load restriction · 02b57943
      John Tsichritzis authored
      
      
      The SCTLR.DSSBS bit is zero by default thus disabling speculative loads.
      However, we also explicitly set it to zero for BL2 and TSP images when
      each image initialises its context. This is done to ensure that the
      image environment is initialised in a safe state, regardless of the
      reset value of the bit.

      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.

      Standardise header guards across codebase · c3cf06f1
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are
      reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards.
      
      The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in
      capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called
      "uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H.
      
      The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects:
      
      - CryptoCell driver
      - dt-bindings folders
      - zlib headers

      types: use int-ll64 for both aarch32 and aarch64 · 0a2d5b43
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Since commit 031dbb12
      
       ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"),
      it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family
      between aarch32 and aarch64.
      
      For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32
      and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.  Likewise, uintptr_t is defined
      as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.
      
      A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code.
      
      One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough
      for both architectures.  For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type,
      like this:
      
        printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val);
      
      Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>,
      like this:
      
        printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val);
      
      But, both would make the code ugly.
      
      The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for
      all architectures.  The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have
      been unified into int-ll64, like follows:
      
          typedef signed char           int8_t;
          typedef unsigned char         uint8_t;
      
          typedef signed short          int16_t;
          typedef unsigned short        uint16_t;
      
          typedef signed int            int32_t;
          typedef unsigned int          uint32_t;
      
          typedef signed long long      int64_t;
          typedef unsigned long long    uint64_t;
      
      [ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ]
      
      This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit,
      with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively.
      
      The width for primitive types is defined as follows:
      
                         ILP32           LP64
          int            32              32
          long           32              64
          long long      64              64
          pointer        32              64
      
      'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t.
      'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t.
      
      We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t.
      
      All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit
      architectures use "unsigned int" size_t.  H8/300, S/390 are known as
      exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture
      is 32 bit.
      
      One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long'
      across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format.
      However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof()
      operator.  We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so
      we need a guess of it anyway.  I want the following formula to always
      return 1:
      
        __builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int)))
      
      Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case.  As far as I know, all
      32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t.

      Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables · 883d1b5d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      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.

      Replace magic numbers in linkerscripts by PAGE_SIZE · a2aedac2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
      them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
      by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
      
      This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
      is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
      size.

      Fix x30 reporting for unhandled exceptions · 4d91838b
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      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.

      Add new alignment parameter to func assembler macro · 64726e6d
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      Assembler programmers are used to being able to define functions with a
      specific aligment with a pattern like this:
      
          .align X
        myfunction:
      
      However, this pattern is subtly broken when instead of a direct label
      like 'myfunction:', you use the 'func myfunction' macro that's standard
      in Trusted Firmware. Since the func macro declares a new section for the
      function, the .align directive written above it actually applies to the
      *previous* section in the assembly file, and the function it was
      supposed to apply to is linked with default alignment.
      
      An extreme case can be seen in Rockchip's plat_helpers.S which contains
      this code:
      
        [...]
        endfunc plat_crash_console_putc
      
        .align 16
        func platform_cpu_warmboot
        [...]
      
      This assembles into the following plat_helpers.o:
      
        Sections:
        Idx Name                             Size  [...]  Algn
         9 .text.plat_crash_console_putc 00010000  [...]  2**16
        10 .text.platform_cpu_warmboot   00000080  [...]  2**3
      
      As can be seen, the *previous* function actually got the alignment
      constraint, and it is also 64KB big even though it contains only two
      instructions, because the .align directive at the end of its section
      forces the assembler to insert a giant sled of NOPs. The function we
      actually wanted to align has the default constraint. This code only
      works at all because the linker just happens to put the two functions
      right behind each other when linking the final image, and since the end
      of plat_crash_console_putc is aligned the start of platform_cpu_warmboot
      will also be. But it still wastes almost 64KB of image space
      unnecessarily, and it will break under certain circumstances (e.g. if
      the plat_crash_console_putc function becomes unused and its section gets
      garbage-collected out).
      
      There's no real way to fix this with the existing func macro. Code like
      
       func myfunc
       .align X
      
      happens to do the right thing, but is still not really correct code
      (because the function label is inserted before the .align directive, so
      the assembler is technically allowed to insert padding at the beginning
      of the function which would then get executed as instructions if the
      function was called). Therefore, this patch adds a new parameter with a
      default value to the func macro that allows overriding its alignment.
      
      Also fix up all existing instances of this dangerous antipattern.

      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 unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
      addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
      time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
      without doing external memory access.
      
      Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
      zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
      
      Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
      firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
      with zeromem16 requirements).
      
      Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
      8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
      more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
      
      Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
      that are implemented this way:
      * AArch32:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
      	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
      * AArch64:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
      	                  (needs MMU enabled)
      	* zeromem: zero using usual data access
      
      Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
      
      There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
      * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
        considered device memory for data accesses).
      * Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
      
      Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
      important:
      * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
        memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
      
        Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
        zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
        compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

      Abort preempted TSP STD SMC after PSCI CPU suspend · 3df6012a
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Standard SMC requests that are handled in the secure-world by the Secure
      Payload can be preempted by interrupts that must be handled in the
      normal world. When the TSP is preempted the secure context is stored and
      control is passed to the normal world to handle the non-secure
      interrupt. Once completed the preempted secure context is restored. When
      restoring the preempted context, the dispatcher assumes that the TSP
      preempted context is still stored as the SECURE context by the context
      management library.
      
      However, PSCI power management operations causes synchronous entry into
      TSP. This overwrites the preempted SECURE context in the context
      management library. When restoring back the SECURE context, the Secure
      Payload crashes because this context is not the preempted context
      anymore.
      
      This patch avoids corruption of the preempted SECURE context by aborting
      any preempted SMC during PSCI power management calls. The
      abort_std_smc_entry hook of the TSP is called when aborting the SMC
      request.
      
      It also exposes this feature as a FAST SMC callable from normal world to
      abort preempted SMC with FID TSP_FID_ABORT.

      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
      transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
      are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
      from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
      examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
      described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
      left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
      the debugger back trace.
      
      This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
      from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
      instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
      instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
      to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

      TSP: Print BL32_BASE rather than __RO_START__ · a604623c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      In debug builds, the TSP prints its image base address and size.
      The base address displayed corresponds to the start address of the
      read-only section, as defined in the linker script.
      
      This patch changes this to use the BL32_BASE address instead, which is
      the same address as __RO_START__ at the moment but has the advantage
      to be independent of the linker symbols defined in the linker script
      as well as the layout and order of the sections.

      Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag · 5d1c104f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
      with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
      The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
      code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
      a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
      attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
      read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
      executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
      a security attack.
      
      This patch introduces a new build flag called
      SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
      on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
      the access permissions for the code and read-only data.
      
      This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
      introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
      segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
      of the read-only section has been changed in this case.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
         the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
         read-only section.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
         read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
         vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
         gives the following new layout (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
         instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
         data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
         provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
         layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
         access permissions.
      
      Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.
