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). Change-Id: I680ee61f84067a559bac0757f9d03e73119beb33 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

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.

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. Change-Id: I3f4ab7fa18f76339f1789103407ba76bda7e56d0 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Change-Id: I936cf80164f6b66b6ad52b8edacadc532c935a49

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11 (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G). This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of changes: 1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache are removed. 2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA. 3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down. NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the BL3-2 image as much memory as possible. Considering these two facts: - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed. - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x images; Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2. On FVP we choose to put: - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS sections overlaying BL1; - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections overlaying BL2; This is illustrated by the following diagram: 0x0404_0000 ------------ ------------------ | BL1 | <= | BL3-1 NOBITS | ------------ <= ------------------ | | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS | ------------ ------------------ | BL2 | <= | BL3-2 NOBITS | ------------ <= ------------------ | | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS | 0x0400_0000 ------------ ------------------ New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check image overlaying.

Previously, platform.h contained many declarations and definitions used for different purposes. This file has been split so that: * Platform definitions used by common code that must be defined by the platform are now in platform_def.h. The exact include path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile. * Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in /plat/fvp/fvp_def.h. * Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h. * The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all platforms.

Currently the platform code gets to define the base address of each boot loader image. However, the linker scripts couteract this flexibility by enforcing a fixed overall layout of the different images. For example, they require that the BL3-1 image sits below the BL2 image. Choosing BL3-1 and BL2 base addresses in such a way that it violates this constraint makes the build fail at link-time. This patch requires the platform code to now define a limit address for each image. The linker scripts check that the image fits within these bounds so they don't rely anymore on the position of a given image in regard to the others.

The TSP used to execute from secure DRAM on the FVPs because there was not enough space in Trusted SRAM to fit it in. Thanks to recent RAM usage enhancements being implemented, we have made enough savings for the TSP to execute in SRAM. However, there is no contiguous free chunk of SRAM big enough to hold the TSP. Therefore, the different bootloader images need to be moved around to reduce memory fragmentation. This patch keeps the overall memory layout (i.e. keeping BL1 R/W at the bottom, BL2 at the top and BL3-1 in between) but moves the base addresses of all the bootloader images in such a way that: - memory fragmentation is reduced enough to fit BL3-2 in; - new base addresses are suitable for release builds as well as debug ones; - each image has a few extra kilobytes for future growth. BL3-1 and BL3-2 are the images which received the biggest slice of the cake since they will most probably grow the most. A few useful numbers for reference (valid at the time of this patch): |-----------------------|------------------------------- | image size (debug) | extra space for the future --------|-----------------------|------------------------------- BL1 R/W | 20 KB | 4 KB BL2 | 44 KB | 4 KB BL3-1 | 108 KB | 12 KB BL3-2 | 56 KB | 8 KB --------|-----------------------|------------------------------- Total | 228 KB | 28 KB = 256 KB --------|-----------------------|------------------------------- Although on FVPs the TSP now executes from Trusted SRAM by default, this patch keeps the option to execute it from Trusted DRAM. This is controlled by the build configuration 'TSP_RAM_LOCATION'. Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#81 Change-Id: Ifb9ef2befa9a2d5ac0813f7f79834df7af992b94

The TSP's linker script used to assume that the TSP would execute from secure DRAM. Although it is currently the case on FVPs, platforms are free to use any secure memory they wish. This patch introduces the flexibility to load the TSP into any secure memory. The platform code gets to specify the extents of this memory in the platform header file, as well as the BL3-2 image limit address. The latter definition allows to check in a generic way that the BL3-2 image fits in its bounds. Change-Id: I9450f2d8b32d74bd00b6ce57a0a1542716ab449c

This patch adds a simple TSP as the BL3-2 image. The secure payload executes in S-EL1. It paves the way for the addition of the TSP dispatcher runtime service to BL3-1. The TSP and the dispatcher service will serve as an example of the runtime firmware's ability to toggle execution between the non-secure and secure states in response to SMC request from the non-secure state. The TSP will be replaced by a Trusted OS in a real system. The TSP also exports a set of handlers which should be called in response to a PSCI power management event e.g a cpu being suspended or turned off. For now it runs out of Secure DRAM on the ARM FVP port and will be moved to Secure SRAM later. The default translation table setup code assumes that the caller is executing out of secure SRAM. Hence the TSP exports its own translation table setup function. The TSP only services Fast SMCs, is non-reentrant and non-interruptible. It does arithmetic operations on two sets of four operands, one set supplied by the non-secure client, and the other supplied by the TSP dispatcher in EL3. It returns the result according to the Secure Monitor Calling convention standard. This TSP has two functional entry points: - An initial, one-time entry point through which the TSP is initialized and prepares for receiving further requests from secure monitor/dispatcher - A fast SMC service entry point through which the TSP dispatcher requests secure services on behalf of the non-secure client Change-Id: I24377df53399307e2560a025eb2c82ce98ab3931 Co-authored-by: Jeenu Viswambharan <jeenu.viswambharan@arm.com>

This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones. The default translation tables are created with the assumption that the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future. A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1 translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup the TTBR_EL3. This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of translation table creation logic is introduced. Change-Id: I09a075d5da16822ee32a411a9dbe284718fb4ff6

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less 'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to 'runtime_exceptions' once this is done. This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions. Change-Id: I8c3e596ea3412c8bd582af9e8d622bb1cb2e049d
