      PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot · bcc3c49c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
      after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
      interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
      platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
      D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

      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.

      ARM platforms: Add support for MT bit in MPIDR · d8d6cf24
      Summer Qin authored
      
      
      This patch modifies some of the functions in ARM platform layer to cater
      for the case when multi-threading `MT` is set in MPIDR. A new build flag
      `ARM_PLAT_MT` is added, and when enabled, the functions accessing MPIDR
      now assume that the `MT` bit is set for the platform and access the bit
      fields accordingly.
      
      Also, a new API plat_arm_get_cpu_pe_count is added when `ARM_PLAT_MT` is
      enabled, returning the PE count within the physical cpu corresponding to
      `mpidr`.

      Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction · c877b414
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
      atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
      is only available for AArch64.
      
      Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
      ARM Trusted Firmware:
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 8.
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 0.
      
      When:
      
        (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
      
      for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
      locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
      load-/store-exclusive instructions.
      
      Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
      summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
      Extensions.

      PSCI: Decouple PSCI stat residency calculation from PMF · 04c1db1e
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting before entering a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
      	const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
      	unsigned int last_cpu_index)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
      
      If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
      recommended that all of them are.
      
      By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled.  If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
      is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
      collection backend must be provided.  If both are set, then default
      weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
      calculate the residency.
      
      NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
      `ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
      Makefile.

      Fix documentation of bootwrapper boot on juno · 7486eb04
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      The user guide incorrectly claimed that it is possible to load a
      bootwrapped kernel over JTAG on Juno in the same manner as an EL3
      payload. In the EL3 payload boot flow, some of the platform
      initialisations in BL2 are modified. In particular, the TZC settings
      are modified to allow unrestricted access to DRAM. This in turn allows
      the debugger to access the DRAM and therefore to load the image there.
      
      In the BL33-preloaded boot flow though, BL2 uses the default TZC
      programming, which prevent access to most of the DRAM from secure state.
      When execution reaches the SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT loop, the MMU is disabled
      and thus DS-5 presumably issues secure access transactions while trying
      to load the image, which fails.
      
      One way around it is to stop execution at the end of BL2 instead. At
      this point, the MMU is still enabled and the DRAM is mapped as
      non-secure memory. Therefore, the debugger is allowed to access this
      memory in this context and to sucessfully load the bootwrapped kernel in
      DRAM. The user guide is updated to suggest this alternative method.

      Upgrade Linaro release, FVPs and mbed TLS versions · 605a4fc7
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch updates the User Guide to recommend the latest version
      of some of the software dependencies of ARM Trusted Firmware.
      
       - Upgrade Linaro release:     16.02 -> 16.06
      
       - Upgrade FVPs
          - Foundation v8 FVP:       9.5 -> 10.1
          - Base FVPs:               7.6 -> 7.7
      
       - Upgrade mbed TLS library:   2.2.0 -> 2.2.1
      
      Note that the latest release of mbed TLS as of today is 2.3.0 but it has
      compilations issues with the set of library configuration options that
      Trusted Firmware uses. 2.2.1 is the next most recent release known to
      build with TF.
      
      This patch also fixes the markdown formatting of a link in the

      Add new version of image loading. · 72600226
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
      descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
      This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
      by any BL stage that needs to load images.
      
      In order to provide the above capability the following new
      platform functions are introduced:
      
        bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
          This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
          platform has populated to load.
      
        bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
          This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
          platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
          information that next BL image needs.
      
        void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
          This function flushes to main memory all the params that
          are passed to next image.
      
        int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
          This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
          image information for given `image_id`.
      
      `desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
      by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
      based on the registered image descriptors.
      
      This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
      functions in-order to achieve the above capability.
      
      Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
        - Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
          arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
          through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
          limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
          and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
          the extent of free memory for the given BL image.
      
        - Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
          This is needed because the image size could come from an
          unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
          To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
          struct for identifying the image maximum size.
      
      New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
      Default value is 0.
      
      NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
            `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

      Replace fip_create with fiptool · 819281ee
      dp-arm authored
      fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
      the fip_create program.  It serves as a better base to build on more
      features in the future.
      
      fiptool supports various subcommands.  Below are the currently
      supported subcommands:
      
      1) info   - List the images contained in a FIP file.
      2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
      3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
      4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
      5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file.  This is a new command that
         was not present in fip_create.
      
      To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
      
      To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
      
      To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
      "fiptool info".
      
      A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
      fip_create is provided.  Existing scripts might or might not work with
      the compatibility script.  Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
      fiptool.

      ARM platforms: Define common image sizes · 0289970d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Compile option `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` has been renamed to
      `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM` because it now applies not only to defines
      related to the translation tables but to the image size as well.
      
      The defines `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL1_RW_SIZE`, `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL2_SIZE` and
      `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL31_SIZE` have been moved to the file board_arm_def.h.
      This way, ARM platforms no longer have to set their own values if
      `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM=0` and they can specify optimized values
      otherwise. The common sizes have been set to the highest values used
      for any of the current build configurations.
      
      This is needed because in some build configurations some images are
      running out of space. This way there is a common set of values known
      to work for all of them and it can be optimized for each particular
      platform if needed.
      
      The space reserved for BL2 when `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0` has been
      increased. This is needed because when memory optimisations are
      disabled the values for Juno of `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and
      `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` are higher. If in this situation the code is
      compiled in debug mode and with "-O0", the code won't fit.

      These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
      been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
      of the PSCI specification.
      
      By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
      implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
      `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

      Add Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) · a31d8983
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
      ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
      SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
      
      The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
      time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
      providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
      The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
      maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
      indicates so.
      
      `pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
      registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
      the time-stamp.
      `pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
      `pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
      providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
      `pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
      
      By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
      To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
      
      NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
      maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
      before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

      Build option to include AArch32 registers in cpu context · 8cd16e6b
      Soby Mathew authored
      The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
      AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
      DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
      AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
      least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
      introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
      include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
      this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
      must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
      verify this.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#386

      Add CCN support to FVP platform port · 71237876
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds support to select CCN driver for FVP during build.
      A new build option `FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER` is added to allow
      selection between the CCI and CCN driver. Currently only the CCN-502
      variant is supported on FVP.
      
      The common ARM CCN platform helper file now verifies the cluster
      count declared by platform is equal to the number of root node
      masters exported by the ARM Standard platform.

      Make:Improve version string generation portability · 414ab853
      Evan Lloyd authored
      To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
      environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
      strings is modified.
      The problems encounterred were:
         1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
         2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
            some other origin.
      
      A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.
      
      MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
      environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
      make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
      is retained in these build environments.
      
      NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
            build portability across development environments.
            This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
            if the relevant tools are available.
            At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
            using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
            Linux envionment".  The Windows platform builds used
            aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1.  CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu
            Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1.
      
      CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows
              platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license).

      Add support to load BL31 in DRAM · 4518dd9a
      David Wang authored
      This patch adds an option to the ARM common platforms to load BL31 in the
      TZC secured DRAM instead of the default secure SRAM.
      
      To enable this feature, set `ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM` to 1 in build options.
      If TSP is present, then setting this option also sets the TSP location
      to DRAM and ignores the `ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` build flag.
      
      To use this feature, BL2 platform code must map in the DRAM used by
      BL31. The macro ARM_MAP_BL31_SEC_DRAM is provided for this purpose.
      Currently, only the FVP BL2 platform code maps in this DRAM.

      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.

      Enable preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow · cf2c8a33
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Enable alternative boot flow where BL2 does not load BL33 from
      non-volatile storage, and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded
      BL33.
      
      The flag used to enable this bootflow is BL33_BASE, which must hold
      the entrypoint address of the BL33 image. The User Guide has been
      updated with an example of how to use this option with a bootwrapped
      kernel.
