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.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling
and enabling the MMU. To achieve this without performing any branch
instruction, a per-cpu vbar is installed which executes the workaround
and then branches off to the corresponding vector entry in the main
vector table. A side effect of this change is that the main vbar is
configured before any reset handling. This is to allow the per-cpu
reset function to override the vbar setting.
This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.

Erratum 855971 applies to revision r0p3 or earlier Cortex-A72 CPUs. The

Use TF_LDFLAGS from the Makefiles, and still append LDFLAGS as well to
the compiler's invocation. This allows passing extra options from the
make command line using LDFLAGS.
Document new LDFLAGS Makefile option.

These errata are only applicable to AArch64 state. See the errata notice

Introduce the build options ERRATA_A53_835769 and ERRATA_A53_843419.
Enable both of them for Juno.
Apply the 835769 workaround as following:
* Compile with -mfix-cortex-a53-835769
* Link with --fix-cortex-a53-835769
Apply the 843419 workaround as following:
* Link with --fix-cortex-a53-843419
The erratum 843419 workaround can lead the linker to create new sections
suffixed with "*.stub*" and 4KB aligned. The erratum 835769 can lead the
linker to create new "*.stub" sections with no particular alignment.
Also add support for LDFLAGS_aarch32 and LDFLAGS_aarch64 in Makefile for
architecture-specific linker options.

ARM erratum 855873 applies to all Cortex-A53 CPUs.
The recommended workaround is to promote "data cache clean"
instructions to "data cache clean and invalidate" instructions.
For core revisions of r0p3 and later this can be done by setting a bit
in the CPUACTLR_EL1 register, so that hardware takes care of the promotion.
As CPUACTLR_EL1 is both IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED and can be trapped to EL3,
we set the bit in firmware.
Also we dump this register upon crashing to provide more debug
information.
Enable the workaround for the Juno boards.

TLBI instructions for EL3 won't have the desired effect under specific
circumstances in Cortex-A57 r0p0. The workaround is to execute DSB and
TLBI twice each time.
Even though this errata is only needed in r0p0, the current errata
framework is not prepared to apply run-time workarounds. The current one
is always applied if compiled in, regardless of the CPU or its revision.
This errata has been enabled for Juno.
The `DSB` instruction used when initializing the translation tables has
been changed to `DSB ISH` as an optimization and to be consistent with
the barriers used for the workaround.

The errata is enabled by default on r0p4, which is confusing given that
we state we do not enable errata by default.
This patch clarifies this sentence by saying it is enabled in hardware
by default.

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.

This patch optimizes the Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not
flushing the Level1 data cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified
cache are inclusive. A flush of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty
lines from the L1 as well. This is a known safe deviation from the
Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down sequence. This optimization can be
enabled by the platform through the 'SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN' build
flag. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
whether to use the optimization.
This patch also renames the cpu-errata-workarounds.md to
cpu-specific-build-macros.md as this facilitates documentation
of both CPU Specific errata and CPU Specific Optimization
build macros.
