If the system is in near idle conditions, this erratum could cause a
deadlock or data corruption. This patch applies the workaround that
prevents this.

This DSU erratum affects only the DSUs that contain the ACP interface
and it was fixed in r2p0. The workaround is applied only to the DSUs
that are actually affected.

Some CPUS may benefit from using a dynamic mitigation approach for
CVE-2018-3639.  A new SMC interface is defined to allow software
executing in lower ELs to enable or disable the mitigation for their
execution context.

It should be noted that regardless of the state of the mitigation for
lower ELs, code executing in EL3 is always mitigated against
CVE-2018-3639.

NOTE: This change is a compatibility break for any platform using
the declare_cpu_ops_workaround_cve_2017_5715 macro.  Migrate to
the declare_cpu_ops_wa macro instead.

For affected CPUs, this approach enables the mitigation during EL3
initialization, following every PE reset. No mechanism is provided to
disable the mitigation at runtime.

This approach permanently mitigates the entire software stack and no
additional mitigation code is required in other software components.

TF-A implements this approach for the following affected CPUs:

*   Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72, by setting bit 55 (Disable load pass store) of
    `CPUACTLR_EL1` (`S3_1_C15_C2_0`).

*   Cortex-A73, by setting bit 3 of `S3_0_C15_C0_0` (not documented in the
    Technical Reference Manual (TRM)).

*   Cortex-A75, by setting bit 35 (reserved in TRM) of `CPUACTLR_EL1`
    (`S3_0_C15_C1_0`).

Additionally, a new SMC interface is implemented to allow software
executing in lower ELs to discover whether the system is mitigated
against CVE-2018-3639.

This patch renames symbols and files relating to CVE-2017-5715 to make
it easier to introduce new symbols and files for new CVE mitigations.

When querying `SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1` through `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES`,
return either:
  * -1 to indicate the PE on which `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES` is called
    requires firmware mitigation for CVE-2017-5715 but the mitigation
    is not compiled in.
  * 0 to indicate that firmware mitigation is required, or
  * 1 to indicate that no firmware mitigation is required.

This patch complies with v1.2 of the firmware interfaces
specification (ARM DEN 0070A).

If the CSV2 field reads as 1 then branch targets trained in one
context cannot affect speculative execution in a different context.
In that case skip the workaround on Cortex A72 and A73.

This patch also fixes the assumption that the counters are disabled on
the resume path.  This is incorrect as the AMU counters are enabled
early in the CPU reset function before `cpuamu_context_restore()`
runs.

Even though the workaround for CVE-2017-5715 is not a CPU erratum, the
code is piggybacking on the errata framework to print whether the
workaround was applied, missing or not needed.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
`BPIALL` instruction.

This is achieved by using 3 vector tables.  There is the runtime
vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
tables which are required to implement this workaround.  The
additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.

The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
as follows:

1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
   to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
   with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled.  This is the default vector table.

2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
   another vector table `vbar1`.  This is required to restore EL3 state
   when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
   exception handling.

3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
   SMC call back to EL3 is performed.

4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
   restored.  The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
   handle further exceptions.  Finally a branch to the runtime vector
   table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
   exception.

This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.

NOTE
====

There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1.  Each stub corresponds to
an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError.  Each stub will move a
different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

The Cortex A75 has 5 AMU counters.  The first three counters are fixed
and the remaining two are programmable.

A new build option is introduced, `ENABLE_AMU`.  When set, the fixed
counters will be enabled for use by lower ELs.  The programmable
counters are currently disabled.

Both Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU). The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly
managed in hardware, and required software operations are considerably
simpler.
