Varun Wadekar 6cf8d65f27 cpus: denver: Implement static workaround for CVE-2018-3639
For Denver 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 EL3 software stack only. Other
software components are responsible to enable it for their exception
levels.

TF-A implements this approach for the Denver CPUs with DENVER_MIDR_PN3
and earlier:

*   By setting bit 11 (Disable speculative store buffering) of
    `ACTLR_EL3`

*   By setting bit 9 (Disable speculative memory disambiguation) of
    `ACTLR_EL3`

TF-A implements this approach for the Denver CPUs with DENVER_MIDR_PN4
and later:

*   By setting bit 18 (Disable speculative store buffering) of
    `ACTLR_EL3`

*   By setting bit 17 (Disable speculative memory disambiguation) of
    `ACTLR_EL3`

Varun Wadekar 1593cae46e denver: use plat_my_core_pos() to get core position
The current functions to disable and enable Dynamic Code Optimizer
(DCO) assume that all denver cores are in the same cluster. They
ignore AFF1 field of the mpidr_el1 register, which leads to
incorect logical core id calculation.

This patch calls the platform handler, plat_my_core_pos(), to get
the logical core id to disable/enable DCO for the core.

John Tsichritzis 8a6771803f DSU erratum 936184 workaround
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.

Check_vector_size checks if the size of the vector fits

This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next

than 32 instructions then it gives an error.

amu_ctxs to unique name (cpuamu_ctxs) since it now returns a

The Cortex-A76 implements SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 as defined in
"Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities
System Software on Arm Systems"[0].

Dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 is enabled/disabled by
setting/clearning bit 16 (Disable load pass store) of `CPUACTLR2_EL1`.

NOTE: The generic code that implements dynamic mitigation does not
currently implement the expected semantics when dispatching an SDEI
event to a lower EL.  This will be fixed in a separate patch.

Dimitris Papastamos 2b91536625 Fast path SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 calls from AArch32
When SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 is invoked from a lower EL running in
AArch32 state, ensure that the SMC call will take a shortcut in EL3.
This minimizes the time it takes to apply the mitigation in EL3.

When lower ELs run in AArch32, it is preferred that they execute the
`BPIALL` instruction to invalidate the BTB.  However, on some cores
the `BPIALL` instruction may be a no-op and thus would benefit from
making the SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 call go through the fast path.

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.

This approach permanently mitigates the entire software stack and no

TF-A implements this approach for the following affected CPUs:

    `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.

vulnerabilities System Software on Arm Systems"[0] for more

Varun Wadekar b0301467bc Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on NVIDIA Denver CPUs
Flush the indirect branch predictor and RSB on entry to EL3 by issuing
a newly added instruction for Denver CPUs. Support for this operation
can be determined by comparing bits 19:16 of ID_AFR0_EL1 with 0b0001.

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.

Dimitris Papastamos e4b34efa18 Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 for Cortex A9, A15 and A17
A per-cpu vbar is installed that implements the workaround by
invalidating the branch target buffer (BTB) directly in the case of A9
and A17 and indirectly by invalidating the icache in the case of A15.

For Cortex A57 and A72 there is currently no workaround implemented
when EL3 is in AArch32 mode so report it as missing.

For other vulnerable CPUs (e.g. Cortex A73 and Cortex A75), there are
no changes since there is currently no upstream AArch32 EL3 support
for these CPUs.

have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load and execute BL2 and subsequent BL
stages without need for BL1.  This is not currently possible because
BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to EL3.

Dimitris Papastamos 780edd86a0 Use PFR0 to identify need for mitigation of CVE-2017-5915
If the CSV2 field reads as 1 then branch targets trained in one
context cannot affect speculative execution in a different context.
In that case skip the workaround on Cortex A75.

Dimitris Papastamos a1781a211a Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75
Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
`BPIALL` instruction.

This is achieved by using 3 vector tables.  There is the runtime
vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
tables which are required to implement this workaround.  The
additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.

The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
as follows:

1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
   to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
   with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled.  This is the default vector table.

2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
   another vector table `vbar1`.  This is required to restore EL3 state
   when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
   exception handling.

3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
   SMC call back to EL3 is performed.

4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
   restored.  The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
   handle further exceptions.  Finally a branch to the runtime vector
   table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
   exception.

This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.

NOTE
====

There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1.  Each stub corresponds to
an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError.  Each stub will move a
different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Dimitris Papastamos f62ad32269 Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A57 and A72
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.
