Update linker file and init codes to allow using separated
memory region for RW DATA. Init codes will copy the RW DATA
from the image to the linked address.
On some NXP platforms, after the BL31 image has been verified,
the bl31 image space will be locked/protected as RO only, so
need to move the RW DATA and NOBITS out of the bl31 image.

It is useful to have a single build for the FVP that includes as much
stuff as possible. Such a build allows a single TF-A build to be used on
a wide variety of fvp command lines. Unfortunately, the fvp also has a
(somewhat arbitrary) SRAM limit and enabling a bunch of stuff overruns
what is available.
To workaround this limit, don't enable everything for all
configurations. The offending configuration is when tsp is enabled, so
try to slim the binary down only when building with it.
As this doesn't solve the issue of running out of space for BL31, update
the linker error to give some clue as to what has (likely) caused it
while more permanent fixes are found.
Also add FEAT_RNG to the mix as it got missed in the commotion.

Some of our specialized sections are not prefixed with the conventional
period. The compiler uses input section names to derive certain other
section names (e.g. `.rela.text`, `.relacpu_ops`), and these can be
difficult to select in linker scripts when there is a lack of a
delimiter.
This change introduces the period prefix to all specialized section
names.
BREAKING-CHANGE: All input and output linker section names have been
prefixed with the period character, e.g. `cpu_ops` -> `.cpu_ops`.

Usually, C has no problem up-converting types to larger bit sizes. MISRA
rule 10.7 requires that you not do this, or be very explicit about this.
This resolves the following required rule:
bl1/aarch64/bl1_context_mgmt.c:81:[MISRA C-2012 Rule 10.7 (required)]<None>
The width of the composite expression "0U | ((mode & 3U) << 2U) | 1U |
0x3c0U" (32 bits) is less that the right hand operand
"18446744073709547519ULL" (64 bits).
This also resolves MISRA defects such as:
bl2/aarch64/bl2arch_setup.c:18:[MISRA C-2012 Rule 12.2 (required)]
In the expression "3U << 20", shifting more than 7 bits, the number
of bits in the essential type of the left expression, "3U", is
not allowed.
Further, MISRA requires that all shifts don't overflow. The definition of
PAGE_SIZE was (1U << 12), and 1U is 8 bits. This caused about 50 issues.
This fixes the violation by changing the definition to 1UL << 12. Since
this uses 32bits, it should not create any issues for aarch32.
This patch also contains a fix for a build failure in the sun50i_a64
platform. Specifically, these misra fixes removed a single and
instruction,
92407e73 and x19, x19, #0xffffffff
from the cm_setup_context function caused a relocation in
psci_cpus_on_start to require a linker-generated stub. This increased the
size of the .text section and caused an alignment later on to go over a
page boundary and round up to the end of RAM before placing the .data
section. This sectionn is of non-zero size and therefore causes a link
error.
The fix included in this reorders the functions during link time
without changing their ording with respect to alignment.

Move the data section to the common header.
I slightly tweaked some scripts as follows:
[1] bl1.ld.S has ALIGN(16). I added DATA_ALIGN macro, which is 1
by default, but overridden by bl1.ld.S. Currently, ALIGN(16)
of the .data section is redundant because commit 4128659076
("Fix boot failures on some builds linked with ld.lld.") padded
out the previous section to work around the issue of LLD version
<= 10.0. This will be fixed in the future release of LLVM, so
I am keeping the proper way to align LMA.
[2] bl1.ld.S and bl2_el3.ld.S define __DATA_RAM_{START,END}__ instead
of __DATA_{START,END}__. I put them out of the .data section.
[3] SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT() is missing tsp.ld.S, sp_min.ld.S, and
mediatek/mt6795/bl31.ld.S. This commit adds SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT()
for all images, so the symbol order in those three will change,

The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often
twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you
add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of
places.
After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when
you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON.
Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains
6 sections, some of which did not exist before.
This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled

TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL
image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite
similar code (and comments).
When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching
so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective.
When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch
linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into
include/common/bl_common.ld.h

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of

region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache

There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.
Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.
After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
The two build flags are mutually exclusive.
Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.

Currently, sections within .text/.rodata/.data/.bss are emitted in the
order they are seen by the linker. This leads to wasted space, when a
section with a larger alignment follows one with a smaller alignment.
We can avoid this wasted space by sorting the sections.
To take full advantage of this, we must disable generation of common
symbols, so "common" data can be sorted along with the rest of .bss.
An example of the improvement, from `make DEBUG=1 PLAT=sun50i_a64 bl31`:
.text => no change
.rodata => 16 bytes saved
.data => 11 bytes saved
.bss => 576 bytes saved

On some systems, it may be preferred to place the secure EL1/0 vector
table outside of the static placement of the BL31 image itself, for
instance when the latter is located in non-shareable SRAM which does
not tolerate inner shareable WBWA mappings (as is the case on SynQuacer)
So permit the platform to #define SPM_SHIM_EXCEPTIONS_VMA in its
supplementary linker script, in which case it will be used as the
VMA region for the vector table. Note that the LMA does not change,
and it is up to the platform to copy the contents to the right place

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

This patch introduces Position Independant Executable(PIE) support
in TF-A. As a initial prototype, only BL31 can support PIE. A trivial
dynamic linker is implemented which supports fixing up Global Offset
Table(GOT) and Dynamic relocations(.rela.dyn). The fixup_gdt_reloc()
helper function implements this linker and this needs to be called
early in the boot sequence prior to invoking C functions. The GOT is
placed in the RO section of BL31 binary for improved security and the
BL31 linker script is modified to export the appropriate symbols
required for the dynamic linker.
The C compiler always generates PC relative addresses to linker symbols
and hence referencing symbols exporting constants are a problem when
relocating the binary. Hence the reference to the
`__PERCPU_TIMESTAMP_SIZE__` symbol in PMF is removed and is now calculated
at runtime based on start and end addresses.

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.

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.

When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
size.

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.

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.

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.

Add the common extra.ld.S and customized rk3399.ld.S to extend
to more features for different platforms.
For example, we can add SRAM section and specific address to
load there if we need it, and the common bl31.ld.S not need to
be modified.
Therefore, we can remove the unused codes which copying explicitly
from the function pmusram_prepare(). It looks like more clear.

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 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.
