Double fault is when the PE receives another error whilst one is being
handled. To detect double fault condition, a per-CPU flag is introduced
to track the status of error handling. The flag is checked/modified
while temporarily masking external aborts on the PE.
This patch routes double faults to a separate platform-defined handler.

Uncontainable errors are the most severe form of errors, which typically
mean that the system state can't be trusted any more. This further means
that normal error recovery process can't be followed, and an orderly
shutdown of the system is often desirable.
This patch allows for the platform to define a handler for Uncontainable
errors received. Due to the nature of Uncontainable error, the handler
is expected to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system, and therefore
is not expected to return. A default implementation is added which falls
back to platform unhandled exception.

Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems.
This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces
MMU-enabling without using stacks.
Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while
enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU
without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same
time.
NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2,
disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

SDEI event dispatches currently only sets up the Non-secure context
before returning to the caller. The actual dispatch only happens upon
exiting EL3 next time.
However, for various error handling scenarios, it's beneficial to have
the dispatch happen synchronously. I.e. when receiving SDEI interrupt,
or for a successful sdei_dispatch_event() call, the event handler is
executed; and upon the event completion, dispatcher execution resumes
after the point of dispatch. The jump primitives introduced in the
earlier patch facilitates this feature.
With this patch:
- SDEI interrupts and calls to sdei_dispatch_event prepares the NS
context for event dispatch, then sets a jump point, and immediately
exits EL3. This results in the client handler executing in
Non-secure.
- When the SDEI client completes the dispatched event, the SDEI
dispatcher does a longjmp to the jump pointer created earlier. For
the caller of the sdei_dispatch_event() in particular, this would
appear as if call returned successfully.
The dynamic workaround for CVE_2018_3639 is slightly shifted around as
part of related minor refactoring. It doesn't affect the workaround
functionality.
Documentation updated.
NOTE: This breaks the semantics of the explicit dispatch API, and any
exiting usages should be carefully reviewed.

The translation tables allocated for the Secure Partition do not need
to be treated as a special case. They can be put amongst the other
tables mapping BL31's general purpose memory. They will be mapped with
the same attributes as them, which is fine.
The explicit alignment constraint in BL31's linker script to pad the
last page of memory allocated to the Secure Partition's translation
tables is useless too, as page tables are per se pages, thus their
end address is naturally aligned on a page-boundary.
In fact, this patch does not change the existing behaviour. Since
patch 22282bb68a ("SPM: Move all SP-related info to SP context
struct"), the secure_partition.c file has been renamed into sp_xlat.c
but the linker script has not been properly updated. As a result, the
SP translation tables are not specifically put at the start of the
xlat_table linker section, the __SP_IMAGE_XLAT_TABLES_START__/_END__
symbols have the same value, the size of the resulting mmap_region
covering these xlat tables is 0 and so it is ignored.

When a Yielding SMC is preempted, it's possible that Non-secure world is
resumed afterwards. In this case, Non-secure execution would find itself
in a state where the SMC has returned. However, the dispatcher might not
get an opportunity to populate the corrected return code for having
been preempted, and therefore the caller of the Yielding SMC cannot
reliably determine whether the SMC had successfully completed or had
been preempted.
To solve this, this patch introduces a new parameter to the
ehf_allow_ns_preemption() API. An SPD, through this parameter, would
provide the expected error code when a Yielding SMC is preempted. EHF
can then populate the specified value in x0 of the Non-secure context so
that the caller of the Yielding SMC correctly identifies the SMC return
as a preemption.

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.
This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.
Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

According to the SMC Calling Convention (ARM DEN0028B):
The Unknown SMC Function Identifier is a sign-extended value of

The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit

SMC_PREEMPT has been redefined as -2 for the same reason.
NOTE: This might be a compatibility break for some AArch64 platforms
that don't follow the previous version of the SMCCC (ARM DEN0028A)
correctly. That document specifies that only the bottom 32 bits of the

have to fix its code to comply with the SMCCC.

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.

This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.
If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:
- Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.
- Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
registers.
The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
archiecture is AArch32.
This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.
Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.
Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
where EL2 is implemented but not used.

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped

On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3
interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure
interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs
[1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC
(previously called Atomic SMC) calls.
To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to
prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that
effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe
to events introduced in an earlier commit:
- Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and
the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority.
- Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure
PMR is restored.
The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted
by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API
exc_allow_ns_preemption() is introduced that programs the PMR to the
original Non-secure PMR value. Another API
exc_is_ns_preemption_allowed() is also introduced to check if
exc_allow_ns_preemption() had been called previously.
API documentation to follow.
[1] On GICv2 systems, this isn't a problem as, unlike GICv3, pending NS
IRQs during Secure execution are signalled as IRQs, which aren't
routed to EL3.

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
respective handlers in EL3.
This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.
The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.
This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.
Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.
Documentation to follow.
NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
or later).

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
- Memory and device regions in the system address map.
- PE system registers.
- A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
- A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
cannot be overly complex.
The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
responsible for the following:
- Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
Partition to fulfil service requests.
- Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
Partition to fulfil a service request.

This light-weight framework enables some EL3 components to publish
events which other EL3 components can subscribe to. Publisher can
optionally pass opaque data for subscribers. The order in which
subscribers are called is not defined.

Some error paths that lead to a crash dump will overwrite the value in
the x30 register by calling functions with the no_ret macro, which
resolves to a BL instruction. This is not very useful and not what the
reader would expect, since a crash dump should usually show all
registers in the state they were in when the exception happened. This
patch replaces the offending function calls with a B instruction to
preserve the value in x30.

This fix modifies the order of system includes to meet the ARM TF coding
standard. There are some exceptions in order to retain header groupings,
minimise changes to imported headers, and where there are headers within
the #if and #ifndef statements.

This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully
initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware
to set the reset values.
The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise
the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and
secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower
EL.
This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software
must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1.
This patch also corrects the following typos:
"NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions"

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

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.
