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.

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.

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 driver requires the "PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES" definition.
By default, it's defined to 128 in partition driver. But it costs a lot

running sha256sum(1) on it.
The sha256 digest is only shown when the verbose flag is used.

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.

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.

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.
Change-Id: I7f497a08d33be234bbb822c28146250cb20dab73
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:
- PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.
- PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
`power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.
These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
of the PSCI specification.
By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
`ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
indicates so.
`pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
the time-stamp.
`pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
`pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
`pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

A production ROM with TBB enabled must have the ability to boot test software

The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to

To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
strings is modified.
The problems encounterred were:
1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
some other origin.
A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.
MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
is retained in these build environments.
NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
build portability across development environments.
This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
if the relevant tools are available.
At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
Linux envionment". The Windows platform builds used

the system against rollback.
The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
world images and another for the non trusted world images.
** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **
int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);
This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
used to select the counter in case the platform provides
more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
in the CoT.
int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);
This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
used to select the counter to be updated.
An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.
** IMPORTANT **
THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

This patch adds an option to the ARM common platforms to load BL31 in the
TZC secured DRAM instead of the default secure SRAM.
To enable this feature, set `ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM` to 1 in build options.
If TSP is present, then setting this option also sets the TSP location
to DRAM and ignores the `ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` build flag.
To use this feature, BL2 platform code must map in the DRAM used by
BL31. The macro ARM_MAP_BL31_SEC_DRAM is provided for this purpose.
Currently, only the FVP BL2 platform code maps in this DRAM.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.
A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.
On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

The Firmware Design document is meant to provide a general overview
of the Trusted Firmware code. Although it is useful to provide some
guidance around the responsibilities of the platform layer, it should
not provide too much platform specific implementation details. Right
now, some sections are too tied to the implementation on ARM
platforms. This makes the Firmware Design document harder to digest.
This patch simplifies this aspect of the Firmware Design document.
The sections relating the platform initialisations performed by the
different BL stages have been simplified and the extra details about
the ARM platforms implementation have been moved to the Porting Guide
when appropriate.
This patch also provides various documentation fixes and additions
in the Firmware Design and Platform Porting Guide. In particular:
- Update list of SMCs supported by BL1.
- Remove MMU setup from architectural inits, as it is actually
performed by platform code.
- Similarly, move runtime services initialisation, BL2 image
initialization and BL33 execution out of the platform
initialisation paragraph.
- List SError interrupt unmasking as part of BL1 architectural
initialization.
- Mention Trusted Watchdog enabling in BL1 on ARM platforms.
- Fix order of steps in "BL2 image load and execution" section.
- Refresh section about GICv3/GICv2 drivers initialisation on
ARM platforms.

spins.
Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function

The previous reset code in BL1 performed the following steps in
order:
1. Warm/Cold boot detection.
If it's a warm boot, jump to warm boot entrypoint.
2. Primary/Secondary CPU detection.
If it's a secondary CPU, jump to plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(),
which doesn't return.
3. CPU initialisations (cache, TLB...).
4. Memory and C runtime initialization.
For a secondary CPU, steps 3 and 4 are never reached. This shouldn't
be a problem in most cases, since current implementations of
plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() either panic or power down the
secondary CPUs.
The main concern is the lack of secondary CPU initialization when
bare metal EL3 payloads are used in case they don't take care of this
initialisation themselves.
This patch moves the detection of primary/secondary CPU after step 3
so that the CPU initialisations are performed per-CPU, while the
memory and the C runtime initialisation are only performed on the
primary CPU. The diagrams used in the ARM Trusted Firmware Reset
Design documentation file have been updated to reflect the new boot
flow.
Platforms ports might be affected by this patch depending on the
behaviour of plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(), as the state of the
platform when entering this function will be different.

`board_arm_def.h` contains multiple definitions of
`PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` that are optimised for
memory usage depending upon the chosen build configuration. To ease
maintenance of these constants, this patch replaces their multiple
definitions with a single set of definitions that will work on all ARM
platforms.
Platforms can override the defaults with optimal values by enabling the
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` build option. An example has been provided in
the Juno ADP port.
Additionally, `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` is increased by one to accomodate

The common topology description helper funtions and macros for
ARM Standard platforms assumed a dual cluster system. This is not
flexible enough to scale to multi cluster platforms. This patch does
the following changes for more flexibility in defining topology:
1. The `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` definition is moved from
`arm_topology.c` to platform specific files, that is `fvp_topology.c`
and `juno_topology.c`. Similarly the common definition of the porting
macro `PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT` in `arm_def.h` is moved to platform
specific `platform_def.h` header.
2. The ARM common layer porting macros which were dual cluster specific
are now removed and a new macro PLAT_ARM_CLUSTER_COUNT is introduced
which must be defined by each ARM standard platform.
3. A new mandatory ARM common layer porting API
`plat_arm_get_cluster_core_count()` is introduced to enable the common
implementation of `arm_check_mpidr()` to validate MPIDR.
4. For the FVP platforms, a new build option `FVP_NUM_CLUSTERS` has been
introduced which allows the user to specify the cluster count to be
used to build the topology tree within Trusted Firmare. This enables
Trusted Firmware to be built for multi cluster FVP models.

Current code mandates loading of SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images for all
CSS platforms. On future ARM CSS platforms, the Application
Processor (AP) might not need to load these images. So, these
items can be removed from the FIP on those platforms.
BL2 tries to load SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images if their base
addresses are defined causing boot error if the images are not
found in FIP.
This change adds a make flag `CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES` which if set
to `1` does:
1. Adds SCP_BL2, SCP_BL2U images to FIP.
2. Defines the base addresses of these images so that AP loads
them.
And vice-versa if it is set to `0`. The default value is set to
`1`.

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

The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The

(and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).

It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at
runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch
introduces a new optional platform porting API
`bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform
any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot.
The default weak implementation of this function will invoke
`console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs.
On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that
the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from
system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This
will be resolved in the following patch.
NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()`
disables the BL31 console. To print the BL31 runtime
messages, platforms must override this API and initialize a
runtime console.

On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are
typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled
as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same

1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code.
2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions.

This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno).
A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is
entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup
hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is
enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled).
A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG`
has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at
build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging
purposes.
Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this
patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or
authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP
is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the
V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until
a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.
COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.
If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.
All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.
For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
- plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
- plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.
User Guide updated as well.
