Douglas Raillard 94a8ca24cb Docs: Clarify IRQ/FIQ handler API in Interrupt Design Guide
The API description currently states that interrupt handlers
(interrupt_type_handler_t pointers) SHOULD return a pointer
to the target cpu_context.

This patch rewords the description of the interrupts handlers to state
that it MUST return a pointer to the target security context. It also
warns about potential portability issue. Specifically, this pointer is
not used on AArch64 and calls to context library APIs must be used to
ask BL31 to return to a specific context. However, this could change in
the future and interrupt handlers must always return the pointer.

Fix documentation of bootwrapper boot on juno
2016-10-12 11:52:57 +01:00
Antonio Nino Diaz 7486eb0475 Fix documentation of bootwrapper boot on juno
The user guide incorrectly claimed that it is possible to load a
bootwrapped kernel over JTAG on Juno in the same manner as an EL3
payload. In the EL3 payload boot flow, some of the platform
initialisations in BL2 are modified. In particular, the TZC settings
are modified to allow unrestricted access to DRAM. This in turn allows
the debugger to access the DRAM and therefore to load the image there.

In the BL33-preloaded boot flow though, BL2 uses the default TZC
programming, which prevent access to most of the DRAM from secure state.
When execution reaches the SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT loop, the MMU is disabled
and thus DS-5 presumably issues secure access transactions while trying
to load the image, which fails.

One way around it is to stop execution at the end of BL2 instead. At
this point, the MMU is still enabled and the DRAM is mapped as
non-secure memory. Therefore, the debugger is allowed to access this
memory in this context and to sucessfully load the bootwrapped kernel in
DRAM. The user guide is updated to suggest this alternative method.

Sandrine Bailleux 605a4fc70d Upgrade Linaro release, FVPs and mbed TLS versions
This patch updates the User Guide to recommend the latest version
of some of the software dependencies of ARM Trusted Firmware.

 - Upgrade Linaro release:     16.02 -> 16.06

 - Upgrade FVPs
    - Foundation v8 FVP:       9.5 -> 10.1
    - Base FVPs:               7.6 -> 7.7

 - Upgrade mbed TLS library:   2.2.0 -> 2.2.1

Note that the latest release of mbed TLS as of today is 2.3.0 but it has
compilations issues with the set of library configuration options that
Trusted Firmware uses. 2.2.1 is the next most recent release known to
build with TF.

This patch also fixes the markdown formatting of a link in the
User Guide.

Yatharth Kochar 1a0a3f0622 AArch32: Common changes needed for BL1/BL2
This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:

* Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
* Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
* Added semihosting support.
* Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
* Added uniprocessor stack support.
* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
  shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
  `el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
  counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
  instructions and the registers that are relevant to
  AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
  `ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
  platform has not overridden to disable it.

Yatharth Kochar 7260022636 Add new version of image loading.
This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.

In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:

  bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
    This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
    platform has populated to load.

  bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
    This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
    platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
    information that next BL image needs.

  void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
    This function flushes to main memory all the params that
    are passed to next image.

  int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
    This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
    image information for given `image_id`.

`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.

This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.

Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
  - Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
    arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
    through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
    limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
    and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
    the extent of free memory for the given BL image.

  - Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
    This is needed because the image size could come from an
    unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
    To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
    struct for identifying the image maximum size.

New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.

NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
      `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

partition table. If user wants use memory efficiently, user should
define the build flag in platform.mk instead.

Replace fip_create with fiptool
2016-08-09 10:16:36 +01:00
dp-arm 819281ee23 Replace fip_create with fiptool
fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
the fip_create program.  It serves as a better base to build on more
features in the future.

fiptool supports various subcommands.  Below are the currently
supported subcommands:

1) info   - List the images contained in a FIP file.
2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file.  This is a new command that
   was not present in fip_create.

To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".

To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".

To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
"fiptool info".

A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
fip_create is provided.  Existing scripts might or might not work with
the compatibility script.  Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
fiptool.

ARM platforms: Define common image sizes

Antonio Nino Diaz 0289970d6c ARM platforms: Define common image sizes
Compile option `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` has been renamed to
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM` because it now applies not only to defines
related to the translation tables but to the image size as well.

The defines `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL1_RW_SIZE`, `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL2_SIZE` and
`PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL31_SIZE` have been moved to the file board_arm_def.h.
This way, ARM platforms no longer have to set their own values if
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM=0` and they can specify optimized values
otherwise. The common sizes have been set to the highest values used
for any of the current build configurations.

This is needed because in some build configurations some images are
running out of space. This way there is a common set of values known
to work for all of them and it can be optimized for each particular
platform if needed.

The space reserved for BL2 when `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0` has been
increased. This is needed because when memory optimisations are
disabled the values for Juno of `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and
`MAX_XLAT_TABLES` are higher. If in this situation the code is
compiled in debug mode and with "-O0", the code won't fit.

2016-07-25 12:04:31 +01:00
Soby Mathew cf0b1492ed Introduce PSCI Library Interface
This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
introduced are as follows:

* Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
cold and warm boots.

* Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
`bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
`psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.

* The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
header.

* The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.

NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
be aware of this change in sequence.

Soby Mathew 532ed61838 Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries
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.

Soby Mathew 4c0d039076 Rework type usage in Trusted Firmware
This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:

* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
  whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.

In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

Sandrine Bailleux 5d1c104f9a Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag
At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
a security attack.

This patch introduces a new build flag called
SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
the access permissions for the code and read-only data.

This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
of the read-only section has been changed in this case.

 - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
   the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):

   |        ...        |
   +-------------------+
   | Exception vectors |
   +-------------------+
   |  Read-only data   |
   +-------------------+
   |       Code        |
   +-------------------+ BLx_BASE

   In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
   read-only section.

 - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
   read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
   vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
   gives the following new layout (padding omitted):

   |        ...        |
   +-------------------+
   |  Read-only data   |
   +-------------------+
   | Exception vectors |
   +-------------------+
   |       Code        |
   +-------------------+ BLx_BASE

   In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
   instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
   data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
   provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
   layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
   access permissions.

Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.

Sandrine Bailleux c02fcc4a38 BL1: Add linker symbol identifying end of ROM content
This patch adds a new linker symbol in BL1's linker script named
'__BL1_ROM_END__', which marks the end of BL1's ROM content. This
covers BL1's code, read-only data and read-write data to relocate
in Trusted SRAM. The address of this new linker symbol is exported
to C code through the 'BL1_ROM_END' macro.

The section related to linker symbols in the Firmware Design guide
has been updated and improved.
