GitLab

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.

Some of the plantuml diagrams in the I/O storage abstraction layer
documentation are absent from the rendered version of the porting
guide. The build log (see [1] for example) reports a syntax error in
these files. This is due to the usage of the 'order' keyword on the
participants list, which does not seem to be supported by the version
of plantuml installed on the ReadTheDocs server.

Fix these syntax errors by removing the 'order' keyword altogether. We
simply rely on the participants being declared in the desired order,
which will be the order of display, according to the plantuml
documentation.

The list of upstream platforms on the index page is growing
quite long, especially with all the FVP variants being listed
individually.

This patch leverages the "Platform Ports" chapter in the docs
table of contents to condense this information. Almost all
platform ports now have documentation, so the table of
contents serves as the list of upstream platforms by itself.

For those upstream platforms that do not have corresponding
documentation, the top-level "Platform Ports" page mentions
them individually. It also mentions each Arm FVP, just as
the index page did before.

Note that there is an in-progress patch that creates new
platform port documentation for the Arm Juno and Arm FVP
platforms, so this list of "other platforms" will soon be
reduced further as those platforms become part of the
table of contents as well.

The index.rst page is now the primary landing page for the TF-A
documentation. It contains quite a lot of content these days,
including:

- The project purpose and general intro
- A list of functionality
- A list of planned functionality
- A list of supported platforms
- "Getting started" links to other documents
- Contact information for raising issues

This patch creates an "About" chapter in the table
of contents and moves some content there. In order,
the above listed content:

- Stayed where it is. This is the right place for it.
- Moved to About->Features
- Moved to About->Features (in subsection)
- Stayed where it is. Moved in a later patch.
- Was expanded in-place
- Moved to About->Contact

We would need to update this version for the release but, in fact,
it is not required for our publishing workflow; the hosted version
of the docs uses git commit/tag information in place of these
variables anyway.

Instead of updating the version, just remove these variables
entirely.

The readme.rst and license.rst files in the project root overlap
with the index.rst and license.rst files in the docs/ folder. We
need to use the latter when building the documentation, as Sphinx
requires all included files to be under a common root. However,
the files in the root are currently used by the cgit and Github
viewers.

Using symlinks in Git presents some difficulties so the best
course of action is likely to leave these files but in stub form.

The license.rst file in the root will simply tell the reader to
refer to docs/license.rst.

The readme.rst file will contain a small amount of content that
is derived from the docs/index.rst file, so that the Github main
page will have something valid to show, but it will also contain
a link to the full documentation on ReadTheDocs.

Currently links between documents are using the format:

<path/to/><filename>.rst

This was required for services like GitHub because they render each
document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking
to any other file, just provide the full path.

However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw
source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered
the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so,
when linking to another document, the link must point to the
rendered version and not the .rst file.

The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content.
The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors
for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for
our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on
section and sub-section titles, for example.

An example of this new format, for a document with the title
"Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`.

One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on
paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories,
without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be
updated only if the title of a document changes.

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.

The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
address followed by a DSB.

Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based
on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be
unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms.

The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock()
implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is
needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is
heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics
to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock.
The patch implements the same.

This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
listed below:
- Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
- New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
- Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
  of cpu_data structure.
- `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
  which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
  value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
  The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
- ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
- New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
  generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
  PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
  cpu-data structure.
- Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
  `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
  `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
  and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
- `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
  code placed in `el3_exit()`.
- Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
  for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
  CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
  and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
- Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
  in `msr	spsel`  instruction instead of hard-coded values.
- Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

Support for PKCS#1 v1.5 was deprecated in SHA 1001202d and fully removed
in SHA fe199e3b

, however, cert_tool is still able to generate
certificates in that form. This patch fully removes the ability for
cert_tool to generate these certificates.

Additionally, this patch also fixes a bug where the issuing certificate
was a RSA and the issued certificate was EcDSA. In this case, the issued
certificate would be signed using PKCS#1 v1.5 instead of RSAPSS per
PKCS#1 v2.1, preventing TF-A from verifying the image signatures. Now
that PKCS#1 v1.5 support is removed, all certificates that are signed
with RSA now use the more modern padding scheme.
