      Disable non-temporal hint on Cortex-A53/57 · 54035fc4
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
      Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
      most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
      that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
      0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
      and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.
      
      This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
      A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
      to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
      enabled by default.
      
      The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
      workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
      generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
      case as well.

      Porting Guide: Clarify identity-mapping requirement · ef7fb9e4
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The memory translation library in Trusted Firmware supports
      non-identity mappings for Physical to Virtual addresses since commit
      f984ce84. However, the porting guide hasn't been updated
      accordingly and still mandates the platform ports to use
      identity-mapped page tables for all addresses.
      
      This patch removes this out-dated information from the Porting Guide
      and clarifies in which circumstances non-identity mapping may safely
      be used.

      Disable PL011 UART before configuring it · 9400b40e
      Juan Castillo authored
      The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
      disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The
      PL011 driver included in TF does not disable the UART, so the
      initialization in BL2 and BL31 is violating this requirement
      (and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).
      
      This patch modifies the initialization function in the PL011
      console driver to disable the UART before programming the
      control registers.
      
      Register clobber list and documentation updated.

      ARM plat: add build option to unlock access to non-secure timer · 0e5dcdd2
      Juan Castillo authored
      Currently, Trusted Firmware on ARM platforms unlocks access to the
      timer frame registers that will be used by the Non-Secure world. This
      unlock operation should be done by the Non-Secure software itself,
      instead of relying on secure firmware settings.
      
      This patch adds a new ARM specific build option 'ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR'
      to unlock access to the timer frame by setting the corresponding
      bits in the CNTACR<N> register. The frame id <N> is defined by
      'PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID'. Default value is true (unlock timer
      access).
      
      Documentation updated accordingly.

      Apply TBBR naming convention to the fip_create options · 8f0617ef
      Juan Castillo authored
      The fip_create tool specifies images in the command line using the
      ARM TF naming convention (--bl2, --bl31, etc), while the cert_create
      tool uses the TBBR convention (--tb-fw, --soc-fw, etc). This double
      convention is confusing and should be aligned.
      
      This patch updates the fip_create command line options to follow the
      TBBR naming convention. Usage examples in the User Guide have been
      also updated.
      
      NOTE: users that build the FIP by calling the fip_create tool directly
      from the command line must update the command line options in their
      scripts. Users that build the FIP by invoking the main ARM TF Makefile
      should not notice any difference.

      Introduce the ARM TF reset design document · c2f0260c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new document presenting the ARM Trusted
      Firmware Reset Design. It shows the reset code flow, lists the
      different build options that affect it, in which case to use them
      and what their exact effect is.
      
      The section about using BL31 entrypoint as the reset address has
      been moved from the general firmware design document to this one.
      It's also been improved to explain why the FVP port supports the
      RESET_TO_BL31 configuration, even though the reset vector address
      can't be programmed dynamically.
      
      This document includes some images, which have been generated using
      Dia version 0.97.2. This tool can be obtained from:
      https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/Download
      This patch provides:
       - the image files describing the different reset flow diagrams;
       - the source '.dia' file;
       - a script automating the generation of the images from the '.dia'
         file.
      Note that the 2 latter files are not actually needed for the document
      and are provided for convenience only, in case the reset images need
      to be modified.

      Documentation updates for the new GIC drivers · 81123e82
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch updates the relevant documentation in ARM Trusted Firmware
      for the new GIC drivers. The user-guide.md and porting-guide.md have been
      updated as follows:
      
      *  The build option to compile Trusted Firmware with different GIC drivers
         for FVP has been explained in the user-guide.md.
      
      *  The implementation details of interrupt management framework porting
         APIs for GICv3 have been added in porting-guide.md.
      
      *  The Linaro tracking kernel release does not work OOB in GICv3 mode.
         The instructions for changing UEFI configuration in order to run with
         the new GICv3 driver in ARM TF have been added to user-guide.md.
      
      The interrupt-framework-design.md has been updated as follows:
      
      *  Describes support for registering and handling interrupts targeted to EL3
         e.g. Group 0 interrupts in GICv3.
      
      *  Describes the build option `TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT` in detail.
      
      *  Describes preemption of TSP in S-EL1 by non secure interrupts and
         also possibly by higher priority EL3 interrupts.
      
      *  Describes the normal world sequence for issuing `standard` SMC calls.
      
      *  Modifies the document to correspond to the current state of interrupt
         handling in TSPD and TSP.
      
      *  Modifies the various functions names in the document to reflect
         the current names used in code.

      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.

      De-feature PL011 UART driver to match generic UART spec · 12f654b6
      Juan Castillo authored
      The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029)
      specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this
      generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the
      current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features
      that are outside the generic UART specification.
      
      This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside
      the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build
      option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'. Default value is 0 (use full
      PL011 features).

      Specify BL31 runtime console for ARM Standard platforms · 080225da
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch overrides the default weak definition of
      `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` for ARM Standard platforms to

      now expected to define `PLAT_ARM_BL31_RUN_UART_BASE` and
      `PLAT_ARM_BL31_RUN_UART_CLK_IN_HZ` macros which is required
      by `arm_bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` to initialize the runtime
      console.
      
      The system suspend resume helper `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`

      console on resumption from system suspend.

      It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at
      runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch
      introduces a new optional platform porting API
      `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform
      any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot.
      The default weak implementation of this function will invoke
      `console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs.
      
      On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that
      the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from
      system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This
      will be resolved in the following patch.
      
      NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()`
      disables the BL31 console. To print the BL31 runtime
      messages, platforms must override this API and initialize a
      runtime console.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#328

      Enable use of FIQs and IRQs as TSP interrupts · 02446137
      Soby Mathew authored
      On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are
      typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled
      as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same
      in both cases. This patch enables the TSP to run on a GICv3 system by:
      
      1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code.
      2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions.
      
      The build option TSPD_ROUTE_IRQ_TO_EL3 is deprecated and is replaced with a
      new build flag TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT. For compatibility reasons, if the
      former build flag is defined, it will be used to define the value for the
      new build flag. The documentation is also updated accordingly.

      TBB: add Trusted Watchdog support on ARM platforms · 7b4c1405
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno).
      A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is
      entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup
      hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is
      enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled).
      
      A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG`
      has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at
      build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging
      purposes.
      
      Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this
      patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or
      authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP
      is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the
      V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until
      a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in
      the TBBR document).

      Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option · a9bec67d
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
      which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
      slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
      and performance.
      
      COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
      may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
      code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
      CPU distinction.
      
      If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
      out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
      primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
      may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
      primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.
      
      All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
      so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
      Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
      when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
      normal boot flow.
      
      For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
      APIs become optional:
        - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
        - plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
      The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.
      
      User Guide updated as well.

      FVP: Do not power off secondary CPUs when booting an EL3 payload · cdf14088
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Normally, in the FVP port, secondary CPUs are immediately powered
      down if they are powered on at reset. However, when booting an EL3
      payload, we need to keep them powered on as the requirement is for
      all CPUs to enter the EL3 payload image. This patch puts them in a
      holding pen instead of powering them off.

      CSS: Enable booting of EL3 payloads · 4c117f6c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch adds support for booting EL3 payloads on CSS platforms,
      for example Juno. In this scenario, the Trusted Firmware follows
      its normal boot flow up to the point where it would normally pass
      control to the BL31 image. At this point, it jumps to the EL3
      payload entry point address instead.
      
      Before handing over to the EL3 payload, the data SCP writes for AP
      at the beginning of the Trusted SRAM is restored, i.e. we zero the
      first 128 bytes and restore the SCP Boot configuration. The latter
      is saved before transferring the BL30 image to SCP and is restored
      just after the transfer (in BL2). The goal is to make it appear that
      the EL3 payload is the first piece of software to run on the target.
      
      The BL31 entrypoint info structure is updated to make the primary
      CPU jump to the EL3 payload instead of the BL31 image.
      
      The mailbox is populated with the EL3 payload entrypoint address,
      which releases the secondary CPUs out of their holding pen (if the
      SCP has powered them on). The arm_program_trusted_mailbox() function
      has been exported for this purpose.
      
      The TZC-400 configuration in BL2 is simplified: it grants secure
      access only to the whole DRAM. Other security initialization is
      unchanged.
      
      This alternative boot flow is disabled by default. A new build option
      EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE has been introduced to enable it and provide the EL3
      payload's entry point address. The build system has been modified
      such that BL31 and BL33 are not compiled and/or not put in the FIP in
      this case, as those images are not used in this boot flow.

      Pass the entry point info to bl1_plat_prepare_exit() · 862b5dc2
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch modifies the prototype of the bl1_plat_prepare_exit()
      platform API to pass the address of the entry point info structure
      received from BL2. The structure contains information that can be
      useful, depending on the kind of clean up or bookkeeping operations
      to perform.
      
      The weak implementation of this function ignores this argument to
      preserve platform backwards compatibility.
      
      NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY BREAK PLATFORM PORTS THAT ARE RELYING ON THE
      FORMER PROTOTYPE OF THE BL1_PLAT_PREPARE_EXIT() API.

      Introduce SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT build flag · 35e8c766
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
      puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
      the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
      in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
      developer may take control of the target using a debugger.
      
      This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
      rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.
      
      User Guide updated accordingly.

      Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option · 54718418
      Soby Mathew authored
      The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
      ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
      interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
      of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
      the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
      type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
      such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.
      
      The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
      now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
      INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

      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.
