      PSCI: Unify warm reset entry points · eb975f52
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      There used to be 2 warm reset entry points:
      
       - the "on finisher", for when the core has been turned on using a
         PSCI CPU_ON call;
      
       - the "suspend finisher", entered upon resumption from a previous
         PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call.
      
      The appropriate warm reset entry point used to be programmed into the
      mailboxes by the power management hooks.
      
      However, it is not required to provide this information to the PSCI
      entry point code, as it can figure it out by itself. By querying affinity
      info state, a core is able to determine on which execution path it is.
      If the state is ON_PENDING then it means it's been turned on else
      it is resuming from suspend.
      
      This patch unifies the 2 warm reset entry points into a single one:
      psci_entrypoint(). The patch also implements the necessary logic
      to distinguish between the 2 types of warm resets in the power up
      finisher.
      
      The plat_setup_psci_ops() API now takes the
      secure entry point as an additional parameter to enable the platforms
      to configure their mailbox. The platform hooks `pwr_domain_on`
      and `pwr_domain_suspend` no longer take secure entry point as
      a parameter.

      PSCI: Add framework to handle composite power states · 8ee24980
      Soby Mathew authored
      The state-id field in the power-state parameter of a CPU_SUSPEND call can be
      used to describe composite power states specific to a platform. The current PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the state-id field. It relies on the target
      power level and the state type fields in the power-state parameter to perform
      state coordination and power management operations. The framework introduced
      in this patch allows the PSCI implementation to intepret generic global states
      like RUN, RETENTION or OFF from the State-ID to make global state coordination
      decisions and reduce the complexity of platform ports. It adds support to
      involve the platform in state coordination which facilitates the use of
      composite power states and improves the support for entering standby states
      at multiple power domains.
      
      The patch also includes support for extended state-id format for the power
      state parameter as specified by PSCIv1.0.
      
      The PSCI implementation now defines a generic representation of the power-state
      parameter. It depends on the platform port to convert the power-state parameter
      (possibly encoding a composite power state) passed in a CPU_SUSPEND call to this
      representation via the `validate_power_state()` plat_psci_ops handler. It is an
      array where each index corresponds to a power level. Each entry contains the
      local power state the power domain at that power level could enter.
      
      The meaning of the local power state values is platform defined, and may vary
      between levels in a single platform. The PSCI implementation constrains the
      values only so that it can classify the state as RUN, RETENTION or OFF as
      required by the specification:
         * zero means RUN
         * all OFF state values at all levels must be higher than all RETENTION
           state values at all levels
         * the platform provides PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE values
           to the framework
      
      The platform also must define the macros PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE which lets the PSCI implementation find out which power
      domains have been requested to enter a retention or power down state. The PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the local power states defined by the
      platform. The only constraint is that the PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE <
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE.
      
      For a power domain tree, the generic implementation maintains an array of local
      power states. These are the states requested for each power domain by all the
      cores contained within the domain. During a request to place multiple power
      domains in a low power state, the platform is passed an array of requested
      power-states for each power domain through the plat_get_target_pwr_state()
      API. It coordinates amongst these states to determine a target local power
      state for the power domain. A default weak implementation of this API is
      provided in the platform layer which returns the minimum of the requested
      power-states back to the PSCI state coordination.
      
      Finally, the plat_psci_ops power management handlers are passed the target
      local power states for each affected power domain using the generic
      representation described above. The platform executes operations specific to
      these target states.
      
      The platform power management handler for placing a power domain in a standby
      state (plat_pm_ops_t.pwr_domain_standby()) is now only used as a fast path for
      placing a core power domain into a standby or retention state should now be
      used to only place the core power domain in a standby or retention state.
      
      The extended state-id power state format can be enabled by setting the
      build flag PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID=1 and it is disabled by default.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform interface to describe topology · 82dcc039
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the assumption in the current PSCI implementation that MPIDR
      based affinity levels map directly to levels in a power domain tree. This
      enables PSCI generic code to support complex power domain topologies as
      envisaged by PSCIv1.0 specification. The platform interface for querying
      the power domain topology has been changed such that:
      
      1. The generic PSCI code does not generate MPIDRs and use them to query the
         platform about the number of power domains at a particular power level. The
         platform now provides a description of the power domain tree on the SoC
         through a data structure. The existing platform APIs to provide the same
         information have been removed.
      
      2. The linear indices returned by plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
         plat_my_core_pos() are used to retrieve core power domain nodes from the
         power domain tree. Power domains above the core level are accessed using a
         'parent' field in the tree node descriptors.
      
      The platform describes the power domain tree in an array of 'unsigned
      char's. The first entry in the array specifies the number of power domains at
      the highest power level implemented in the system. Each susbsequent entry
      corresponds to a power domain and contains the number of power domains that are
      its direct children. This array is exported to the generic PSCI implementation
      via the new `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` platform API.
      
      The PSCI generic code uses this array to populate its internal power domain tree
      using the Breadth First Search like algorithm. The tree is split into two
      arrays:
      
      1. An array that contains all the core power domain nodes
      
      2. An array that contains all the other power domain nodes
      
      A separate array for core nodes allows certain core specific optimisations to
      be implemented e.g. remove the bakery lock, re-use per-cpu data framework for
      storing some information.
      
      Entries in the core power domain array are allocated such that the
      array index of the domain is equal to the linear index returned by
      plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and plat_my_core_pos() for the MPIDR
      corresponding to that domain. This relationship is key to be able to use
      an MPIDR to find the corresponding core power domain node, traverse to higher
      power domain nodes and index into arrays that contain core specific
      information.
      
      An introductory document has been added to briefly describe the new interface.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.

      PSCI: Remove references to affinity based power management · 4067dc31
      Soby Mathew authored
      As per Section 4.2.2. in the PSCI specification, the term "affinity"
      is used in the context of describing the hierarchical arrangement
      of cores. This often, but not always, maps directly to the processor
      power domain topology of the system. The current PSCI implementation
      assumes that this is always the case i.e. MPIDR based levels of
      affinity always map to levels in a power domain topology tree.
      
      This patch is the first in a series of patches which remove this
      assumption. It removes all occurences of the terms "affinity
      instances and levels" when used to describe the power domain
      topology. Only the terminology is changed in this patch. Subsequent
      patches will implement functional changes to remove the above
      mentioned assumption.

      PSCI: Invoke PM hooks only for the highest level · 6590ce22
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch optimizes the invocation of the platform power management hooks for
      ON, OFF and SUSPEND such that they are called only for the highest affinity
      level which will be powered off/on. Earlier, the hooks were being invoked for
      all the intermediate levels as well.
      
      This patch requires that the platforms migrate to the new semantics of the PM
      hooks.  It also removes the `state` parameter from the pm hooks as the `afflvl`
      parameter now indicates the highest affinity level for which power management
      operations are required.

      Update user guide to use Linaro releases · 640af0ee
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Linaro produce monthly software releases for the Juno and AEMv8-FVP
      platforms. These provide an integrated set of software components
      that have been tested together on these platforms.
      
      From now on, it is recommend that Trusted Firmware developers use the
      Linaro releases (currently 15.06) as a baseline for the dependent
      software components: normal world firmware, Linux kernel and device
      tree, file system as well as any additional micro-controller firmware
      required by the platform.
      
      This patch updates the user guide to document this new process. It
      changes the instructions to get the source code of the full software
      stack (including Trusted Firmware) and updates the dependency build
      instructions to make use of the build scripts that the Linaro releases
      provide.

      TBB: switch to the new authentication framework · 1779ba6b
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
      the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
      module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
      authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.
      
      A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
      is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
      authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
      trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
      build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
      ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.
      
      The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
      to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
      variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.
      
      On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
      each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

      TBB: add ECDSA support to the certificate generation tool · ccbf890e
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch extends the 'cert_create' tool to support ECDSA keys
      to sign the certificates. The '--key-alg' command line option
      can be used to specify the key algorithm when invoking the tool.
      Available options are:
      
          * 'rsa': create RSA-2048 keys (default option)
          * 'ecdsa': create ECDSA-SECP256R1 keys
      
      The TF Makefile has been updated to allow the platform to specify
      the key algorithm by declaring the 'KEY_ALG' variable in the
      platform makefile.
      
      The behaviour regarding key management has changed. After applying
      this patch, the tool will try first to open the keys from disk. If
      one key does not exist or no key is specified, and the command line
      option to create keys has been specified, new keys will be created.
      Otherwise an error will be generated and the tool will exit. This
      way, the user may specify certain keys while the tool will create
      the remaining ones. This feature is useful for testing purposes
      and CI infrastructures.
      
      The OpenSSL directory may be specified using the build option
      'OPENSSL_DIR' when building the certificate generation tool.
      Default is '/usr'.

      TBB: add mbedTLS authentication related libraries · 7d37aa17
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries:
      
      * Cryptographic library
      
      It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature
      and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the
      cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained
      separately.
      
      Two key algorithms are currently supported:
      
          * RSA-2048
          * ECDSA-SECP256R1
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the required
      algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the
      platform makefile. Available options are:
      
          * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
          * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)
      
      Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256.
      
      * Image parser library
      
      Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication
      parameters stored in X509v3 certificates.

      TBB: add authentication framework · 05799ae0
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
      the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
      The framework comprises the following modules:
      
      - Image Parser Module (IPM)
      
          This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
          their integrity and extract authentication information from
          them during Trusted Board Boot.
      
          The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
          raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
          a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
          each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
          which is included in the main module by default).
      
          Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
          specific linker section which contains function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
                 the library
              3. Extract authentication information from the image
      
      - Cryptographic Module (CM)
      
          This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
          and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
          to perform the cryptographic operations.
      
          To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
          REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Verify a digital signature
              3. Verify a hash
      
          Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
          a build time error.
      
      - Authentication Module (AM)
      
          This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
          hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
          module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
          to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
          authenticate the images.
      
          The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
          dependencies between images and the authentication methods
          that must be followed to authenticate an image.
      
      The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
      cot_def.h with the following definitions:
      
      - COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS
      
          Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
          parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
          authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
          the parameters in the image descriptor.

      TBB: add platform API to read the ROTPK information · 95cfd4ad
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch extends the platform port by adding an API that returns
      either the Root of Trust public key (ROTPK) or its hash. This is
      usually stored in ROM or eFUSE memory. The ROTPK returned must be
      encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1 structure:
      
          SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
              algorithm           AlgorithmIdentifier,
              subjectPublicKey    BIT STRING
          }
      
      In case the platform returns a hash of the key:
      
          DigestInfo  ::= SEQUENCE {
              digestAlgorithm     AlgorithmIdentifier,
              keyDigest           OCTET STRING
          }
      
      An implementation for ARM development platforms is provided in this
      patch. When TBB is enabled, the ROTPK hash location must be specified
      using the build option 'ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION'. Available options are:
      
          - 'regs' : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted
            root-key storage registers.
      
          - 'devel_rsa' : return a ROTPK hash embedded in the BL1 and
            BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the development
            RSA public key located in 'plat/arm/board/common/rotpk'.
      
      On FVP, the number of MMU tables has been increased to map and
      access the ROTPK registers.
      
      A new file 'board_common.mk' has been added to improve code sharing
      in the ARM develelopment platforms.

      Use numbers to identify images instead of names · 16948ae1
      Juan Castillo authored
      The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
      port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
      mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
      a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
      involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
      packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
      for the image. This method is not optimal.
      
      This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
      code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
      allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
      use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.
      
      As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
      ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
      the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
      into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
      name. This prevents the name comparisons.
      
      A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
      to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
      in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
      [iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.
      
      Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
      debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
      instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
      load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
      private to the platform.
      
      The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
      All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
      code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
      subsequent patches.
      
      IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
      use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
      must be updated to match the new interface.

      TBB: replace assert() with runtime checks in PolarSSL module · d5e0a933
      Juan Castillo authored
      Using assert() to check the length of keys and hashes included in
      a certificate is not a safe approach because assert() only applies
      to debug builds. A malformed certificate could exploit security
      flaws in release binaries due to buffer overflows.
      
      This patch replaces assert() with runtime checkings in the PolarSSL
      authentication module, so malformed certificates can not cause a
      memory overflow.

      TBB: use ASN.1 type DigestInfo to represent hashes · c3da66b1
      Juan Castillo authored
      The cert_create tool calculates the hash of each BL image and includes
      it as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING in the corresponding certificate extension.
      Without additional information, the firmware running on the platform
      has to know in advance the algorithm used to generate the hash.
      
      This patch modifies the cert_create tool so the certificate extensions
      that include an image hash are generated according to the following
      ASN.1 structure:
      
          DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
              digestAlgorithm  AlgorithmIdentifier,
              digest           OCTET STRING
          }
      
          AlgorithmIdentifier ::=  SEQUENCE  {
              algorithm        OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
              parameters       ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
          }
      
      The PolarSSL module has been updated to extract the image hash
      from the certificate extension according to this structure.
