Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET instruction was not a jump instruction. The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow - thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent fetches from uncached memory). This was fixed in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Optee OS: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/679db70801da9fda91d26caf13bf5b5ccc74e8e8 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/29fb48ace4186a41c409fde52bcf4216e9e50b61 https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/3a08873ece1cb28ace89fd65e8f3c1375cc98de2 https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/commit/abfd092aa19f9c0251e3d5551e2d68a9ebcfec8a It is demonstrated in a SafeSide example: https://github.com/google/safeside/blob/master/demos/eret_hvc_smc_wrapper.cc https://github.com/google/safeside/blob/master/kernel_modules/kmod_eret_hvc_smc/eret_hvc_smc_module.c Signed-off-by: Anthony Steinhauser <asteinhauser@google.com> Change-Id: Iead39b0b9fb4b8d8b5609daaa8be81497ba63a0f

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64 in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1 Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other than BTI. BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0. The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI instruction. This is an experimental feature. Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3 is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be used instead to enable Pointer Authentication. Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported. Change-Id: Ifaf4438609b16647dc79468b70cd1f47a623362e Signed-off-by: Alexei Fedorov <Alexei.Fedorov@arm.com>

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths. The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged: - include/lib/cpus/${ARCH} - include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH} The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two of them). For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support"). This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339 ("Move include and source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that this creates problems. Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards. The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called "uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H. The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects: - CryptoCell driver - dt-bindings folders - zlib headers Change-Id: I50561bf6c88b491ec440d0c8385c74650f3c106e Signed-off-by: Antonio Nino Diaz <antonio.ninodiaz@arm.com>

This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for reference to symbols. This allows these assembly sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the the reference to sizes have been replaced with calculation of size at runtime. This is because size is a constant value and does not depend on execution address and using PC relative instructions for loading them makes them relative to execution address. Also we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not* be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

Check_vector_size checks if the size of the vector fits in the size reserved for it. This check creates problems in the Clang assembler. A new macro, end_vector_entry, is added and check_vector_size is deprecated. This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next exception vector.

At present, the function provided by the translation library to enable MMU constructs appropriate values for translation library, and programs them to the right registers. The construction of initial values, however, is only required once as both the primary and secondaries program the same values. Additionally, the MMU-enabling function is written in C, which means there's an active stack at the time of enabling MMU. On some systems, like Arm DynamIQ, having active stack while enabling MMU during warm boot might lead to coherency problems. This patch addresses both the above problems by: - Splitting the MMU-enabling function into two: one that sets up values to be programmed into the registers, and another one that takes the pre-computed values and writes to the appropriate registers. With this, the primary effectively calls both functions to have the MMU enabled, but secondaries only need to call the latter. - Rewriting the function that enables MMU in assembly so that it doesn't use stack. This patch fixes a bunch of MISRA issues on the way. Change-Id: I0faca97263a970ffe765f0e731a1417e43fbfc45 Signed-off-by: Jeenu Viswambharan <jeenu.viswambharan@arm.com>

RAS extensions are mandatory for ARMv8.2 CPUs, but are also optional extensions to base ARMv8.0 architecture. This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for this. With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are detected via. DISR_EL1 register. When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in the Secure World and accesses the following system resources: - Memory and device regions in the system address map. - PE system registers. - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts. - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers. A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation cannot be overly complex. The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is responsible for the following: - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure Partition to fulfil service requests. - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure Partition to fulfil a service request.

Add Call Frame Information assembler directives to vector entries so that debuggers display the backtrace of functions that triggered a synchronous exception. For example, a function triggering a data abort will be easier to debug if the backtrace can be displayed from a breakpoint at the beginning of the synchronous exception vector. DS-5 needs CFI otherwise it will not attempt to display the backtrace. Other debuggers might have other needs. These debug information are stored in the ELF file but not in the final binary.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads the debugger back trace. This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl' instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop' instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which are done as part of this patch are: * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to enable reuse. * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture specific folder. * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility. Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles. NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

The documentation of the GNU assembler specifies the following about the .align assembler directive: "the padding bytes are normally zero. However, on some systems, if the section is marked as containing code and the fill value is omitted, the space is filled with no-op instructions." (see https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Align.html) When building Trusted Firmware, the AArch64 GNU assembler uses a mix of zero bytes and no-op instructions as the padding bytes to align exception vectors. This patch mandates to use zero bytes to be stored in the padding bytes in the exception vectors. In the AArch64 instruction set, no valid instruction encodes as zero so this effectively inserts illegal instructions. Should this code end up being executed for any reason, it would crash immediately. This gives us an extra protection against misbehaving code at no extra cost.

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.

This patch defines deprecated platform APIs to enable Trusted Firmware components like Secure Payload and their dispatchers(SPD) to continue to build and run when platform compatibility is disabled. This decouples the migration of platform ports to the new platform API from SPD and enables them to be migrated independently. The deprecated platform APIs defined in this patch are : platform_get_core_pos(), platform_get_stack() and platform_set_stack(). The patch also deprecates MPIDR based context management helpers like cm_get_context_by_mpidr(), cm_set_context_by_mpidr() and cm_init_context(). A mechanism to deprecate APIs and identify callers of these APIs during build is introduced, which is controlled by the build flag WARN_DEPRECATED. If WARN_DEPRECATED is defined to 1, the users of the deprecated APIs will be flagged either as a link error for assembly files or compile time warning for C files during build.

This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation. The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to continue to build and run with minimal changes. The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer. Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the following patch. Change-Id: I18c51b3a085b564aa05fdd98d11c9f3335712719

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.

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset results in highly complex conditional code relating to the RESET_TO_BL31 option. This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows: 1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot; 2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset simultaneously; 3) Run the CPU init code. This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code. This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for different types of systems. NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the assembler using the .size directive. To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc' macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro. The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if endfunc is omitted.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements. Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#31 Change-Id: Iec92fb976334c77453e010b60bcf56f3be72bd3e

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory under ./include. The only remaining system include directories not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the corresponding source files to match the include directory structure. Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used. Change-Id: Ie5ea6368ec5fad459f3e8a802ad129135527f0b3

The BL images share common stack management code which provides one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2 just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform. This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where this has to be done in the firmware. The stack allocation source files are now included via platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support for each BL image. Each platform makefile must be updated when including this commit. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#76 Change-Id: Ia251f61b8148ffa73eae3f3711f57b1ffebfa632

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler support functions in the firmware images by placing each function into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func' macro used to declare each function label. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#80 Change-Id: I301937b630add292d2dec6d2561a7fcfa6fec690

This patch adds guards so that an exception vector exceeding 32 instructions will generate a compile-time error. This keeps the exception handlers in check from spilling over. Change-Id: I7aa56dd0071a333664e2814c656d3896032046fe

This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are inter-related. It does the following: 1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one 2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks. 3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context' structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL. 4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context' structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL 5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a runtime service Change-Id: I661797f834c0803d2c674d20f504df1b04c2b852 Co-authored-by: Achin Gupta <achin.gupta@arm.com>
