Add support for GCC stack protection
...
Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.
A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.
A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.
To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.
FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

ARM platforms: Add support for MT bit in MPIDR
...
This patch modifies some of the functions in ARM platform layer to cater
for the case when multi-threading `MT` is set in MPIDR. A new build flag
`ARM_PLAT_MT` is added, and when enabled, the functions accessing MPIDR
now assume that the `MT` bit is set for the platform and access the bit
fields accordingly.
Also, a new API plat_arm_get_cpu_pe_count is added when `ARM_PLAT_MT` is
enabled, returning the PE count within the physical cpu corresponding to
`mpidr`.

Add workaround for ARM Cortex-A53 erratum 855873
...
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.

Apply workaround for errata 813419 of Cortex-A57
...
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.

Add dynamic region support to xlat tables lib v2
...
Added APIs to add and remove regions to the translation tables
dynamically while the MMU is enabled. Only static regions are allowed
to overlap other static ones (for backwards compatibility).
A new private attribute (MT_DYNAMIC / MT_STATIC) has been added to
flag each region as such.
The dynamic mapping functionality can be enabled or disabled when
compiling by setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1
or 0. This can be done per-image.
TLB maintenance code during dynamic table mapping and unmapping has
also been added.

PSCI: Optimize call paths if all participants are cache-coherent
...
The current PSCI implementation can apply certain optimizations upon the
assumption that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent.
- Skip performing cache maintenance during power-up.
- Skip performing cache maintenance during power-down:
At present, on the power-down path, CPU driver disables caches and
MMU, and performs cache maintenance in preparation for powering down
the CPU. This means that PSCI must perform additional cache
maintenance on the extant stack for correct functioning.
If all participating CPUs are cache-coherent, CPU driver would
neither disable MMU nor perform cache maintenance. The CPU being
powered down, therefore, remain cache-coherent throughout all PSCI
call paths. This in turn means that PSCI cache maintenance
operations are not required during power down.
- Choose spin locks instead of bakery locks:
The current PSCI implementation must synchronize both cache-coherent
and non-cache-coherent participants. Mutual exclusion primitives are
not guaranteed to function on non-coherent memory. For this reason,
the current PSCI implementation had to resort to bakery locks.
If all participants are cache-coherent, the implementation can
enable MMU and data caches early, and substitute bakery locks for
spin locks. Spin locks make use of architectural mutual exclusion
primitives, and are lighter and faster.
The optimizations are applied when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is
enabled, as it's expected that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent
in those systems.

Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction
...
The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.
Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:
- ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 8.
- ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 0.
When:
(ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.
Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

PSCI: Decouple PSCI stat residency calculation from PMF
...
This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting before entering a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
unsigned int last_cpu_index)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
recommended that all of them are.
By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled. If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
collection backend must be provided. If both are set, then default
weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
calculate the residency.
NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
`ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
Makefile.

Introduce unified API to zero memory
...
Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
without doing external memory access.
Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
with zeromem16 requirements).
Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
that are implemented this way:
* AArch32:
* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
* AArch64:
* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction
(needs MMU enabled)
* zeromem: zero using usual data access
Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
* Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
considered device memory for data accesses).
* Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
important:
* Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.
