Dimitris Papastamos 42be6fc57e Adjust BL2_AT_EL3 memory layout
For the BL2_AT_EL3 configuration, move BL2 higher up to make more
space for BL31.  Adjust the BL31 limit to be up to BL2 base.  This is
because BL2 is always resident for the BL2_AT_EL3 configuration and
thus we cannot overlay it with BL31.

Soby Mathew c099cd3942 ARM platforms: Move BL31 below BL2 to enable BL2 overlay
The patch changes the layout of BL images in memory to enable
more efficient use of available space. Previously BL31 was loaded
with the expectation that BL2 memory would be reclaimed by BL32
loaded in SRAM. But with increasing memory requirements in the
firmware, we can no longer fit BL32 in SRAM anymore which means the
BL2 memory is not reclaimed by any runtime image. Positioning BL2
below BL1-RW and above BL31 means that the BL31 NOBITS can be
overlaid on BL2 and BL1-RW.

This patch also propogates the same memory layout to BL32 for AArch32
mode. The reset addresses for the following configurations are also
changed :
   * When RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 for BL32 in AArch32 mode
   * When BL2_AT_EL3=1 for BL2

The restriction on BL31 to be only in DRAM when SPM is enabled
is now removed with this change. The update to the firmware design
guide for the BL memory layout is done in the following patch.

Antonio Nino Diaz e829a3796f plat/arm: SPM: Force BL31 to DRAM when SPM is used
BL31 is running out of space, and the use-case of SPM doesn't require it
to be in SRAM. To prevent BL31 from running out of space in the future,
move BL31 to DRAM if SPM is enabled.

Secure Partition Manager design document updated to reflect the changes.

Increased the size of the stack of BL31 for builds with SPM.

The translation tables used by SPM in Arm platforms have been moved back
to the 'xlat_tables' region instead of 'arm_el3_tzc_dram'. Everything is
in DRAM now, so it doesn't make sense to treat them in a different way.

Dimitris Papastamos fe007b2e15 Add support for dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639
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.

Dimitris Papastamos b8a25bbb0b Implement static workaround for CVE-2018-3639
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.

Refer to "Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation
vulnerabilities System Software on Arm Systems"[0] for more
information.

Antonio Nino Diaz 32412a8a6b Replace bootwrapped kernel instructions from User Guide
The instructions to boot the bootwrapped kernel were outdated.

Also, the bootwrapped kernel boot flow isn't really useful. It was meant
to be a replacement for the Trusted Firmware-A, not to be used as the next
step during boot.

The instructions have been removed in favour of the new build option
ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33. This new system directly boots the Linux
kernel from BL31, and requires RESET_TO_BL31 to be 1. Also, the kernel
has to be preloaded in memory, so PRELOADED_BL33_BASE has to be set to its
address. This way, the runtime services of the Trusted Firmware-A are
available for the kernel in the least possible amount of time.

This new system requires the DTB to be patched so that the kernel knows
where the ramdisk is. A short script to add this information to the DTB
has been added to the User Guide. The information related to it can be
found in the following file in the Linux kernel tree:
``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt``

Antonio Nino Diaz b726c16907 plat/arm: Introduce ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 build option
Normally, BL33 needs to contain a boot loader like U-Boot or UEFI that
eventually gives control to the OS. However, in some cases, this boot
sequence may be too slow. For example, when doing tests in a
cycle-accurate emulator, the user may only be interested in the
interaction between the Trusted Firmware and the OS, not in the boot
process itself.

The new option ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 allows BL33 to contain the Linux
kernel image by changing the value of registers x0-x3 to the values
expected by the kernel. This option requires the device tree blob (DTB)
to be present in memory. Its address must be specified in the newly
introduced ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE build option. For now, it only supports
AArch64 kernels.

This option is only available when RESET_TO_BL31=1. For this reason
the BL33 binary must be preloaded in memory and PRELOADED_BL33_BASE must
be used.

For example, if the kernel is loaded at 0x80080000 and the DTB is loaded
at address 0x82000000, the firmware could be built like this:

    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-  \
    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
    all fip

Jeenu Viswambharan 1a7c1cfe70 RAS: Add fault injection support
The ARMv8.4 RAS extensions introduce architectural support for software
to inject faults into the system in order to test fault-handling
software. This patch introduces the build option FAULT_HANDLING_SUPPORT
to allow for lower ELs to use registers in the Standard Error Record to
inject fault. The build option RAS_EXTENSIONS must also be enabled along
with fault injection.

This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to
keep disabled for production images.

Jeenu Viswambharan 14c6016ad5 AArch64: Introduce RAS handling
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.

Antonio Nino Diaz 2f37046524 Add support for the SMC Calling Convention 2.0
Due to differences in the bitfields of the SMC IDs, it is not possible
to support SMCCC 1.X and 2.0 at the same time.

The behaviour of `SMCCC_MAJOR_VERSION` has changed. Now, it is a build
option that specifies the major version of the SMCCC that the Trusted
Firmware supports. The only two allowed values are 1 and 2, and it
defaults to 1. The value of `SMCCC_MINOR_VERSION` is derived from it.

Note: Support for SMCCC v2.0 is an experimental feature to enable
prototyping of secure partition specifications. Support for this
convention is disabled by default and could be removed without notice.

Antonio Nino Diaz e0f21f625f rpi3: Use new console APIs
Switch to the new console APIs enabled by setting MULTI_CONSOLE_API=1.

The crash console doesn't use this API, it uses internally the core
functions of the 16550 console.

`bl31_plat_runtime_setup` is no longer needed. When this platform port
was introduced, that function used to disable the console. It was needed
to override that behaviour. The new behaviour is to switch to the
runtime console. The console is registered for all scopes (boot, crash
and runtime) in `rpi3_console_init` so it is not needed to override the
default behaviour anymore.

Soby Mathew 101d01e2a2 BL1: Deprecate the `bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout()` API
The `bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout()` API is now deprecated. The default weak
implementation of `bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load()` calculates the
BL2 memory layout and populates the same in x1(r1). This ensures
compatibility for the deprecated API.

Soby Mathew 566034fc27 Add image_id to bl1_plat_handle_post/pre_image_load()
This patch adds an argument to bl1_plat_post/pre_image_load() APIs
to make it more future proof. The default implementation of
these are moved to `plat_bl1_common.c` file.

These APIs are now invoked appropriately in the FWU code path prior
to or post image loading by BL1 and are not restricted
to LOAD_IMAGE_V2.

The patch also reorganizes some common platform files. The previous
`plat_bl2_el3_common.c` and `platform_helpers_default.c` files are
merged into a new `plat_bl_common.c` file.

NOTE: The addition of an argument to the above mentioned platform APIs
is not expected to have a great impact because these APIs were only
recently added and are unlikely to be used.

Antonio Nino Diaz 38d96de606 Fix Foundation FVP instructions in User Guide
The Arm Trusted Firmware is built by default for ARMv8-A version 8.0.
However, the Foundation FVP runs by default in the highest version of
the architecture it supports. This causes problems when trying to run
the Arm Trusted Firmware on it.

This patch adds a note to the User Guide about this problem.

Jeenu Viswambharan 6027796fff TSPD: Require NS preemption along with EL3 exception handling
At present, the build option TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT controls how
Non-secure interrupt affects TSPs execution. When TSP is executing:

  1. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=0, Non-secure interrupts are received
     at the TSP's exception vector, and TSP voluntarily preempts itself.

  2. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=1, Non-secure interrupts causes a
     trap to EL3, which preempts TSP execution.

When EL3 exception handling is in place (i.e.,
EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1), FIQs are always trapped to EL3. On a system
with GICv3, pending NS interrupts while TSP is executing will be
signalled as FIQ (which traps to EL3). This situation necessitates the
same treatment applied to case (2) above.

Therefore, when EL3 exception handling is in place, additionally
require that TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT is set to one 1.

Strictly speaking, this is not required on a system with GICv2, but the
same model is uniformly followed regardless, for simplicity.

Relevant documentation updated.
