Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01004This document describes the various build options present in the CPU specific
5operations framework to enable errata workarounds and to enable optimizations
6for a specific CPU on a platform.

Dimitris Papastamos446f7f12017-11-30 14:53:53 +00008Security Vulnerability Workarounds
9----------------------------------
10
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000011TF-A exports a series of build flags which control which security
12vulnerability workarounds should be applied at runtime.
Dimitris Papastamos446f7f12017-11-30 14:53:53 +000013
14- ``WORKAROUND_CVE_2017_5715``: Enables the security workaround for
Dimitris Papastamos6d1f4992018-03-28 12:06:40 +010015 `CVE-2017-5715`_. This flag can be set to 0 by the platform if none
16 of the PEs in the system need the workaround. Setting this flag to 0 provides
17 no performance benefit for non-affected platforms, it just helps to comply
18 with the recommendation in the spec regarding workaround discovery.
19 Defaults to 1.
Dimitris Papastamos446f7f12017-11-30 14:53:53 +000020
Dimitris Papastamose6625ec2018-04-05 14:38:26 +010021- ``WORKAROUND_CVE_2018_3639``: Enables the security workaround for
22 `CVE-2018-3639`_. Defaults to 1. The TF-A project recommends to keep
23 the default value of 1 even on platforms that are unaffected by
24 CVE-2018-3639, in order to comply with the recommendation in the spec
25 regarding workaround discovery.
26
Dimitris Papastamosba51d9e2018-05-16 11:36:14 +010027- ``DYNAMIC_WORKAROUND_CVE_2018_3639``: Enables dynamic mitigation for
28 `CVE-2018-3639`_. This build option should be set to 1 if the target
29 platform contains at least 1 CPU that requires dynamic mitigation.
30 Defaults to 0.
31
Bipin Ravi86499742022-01-18 01:59:06 -060032- ``WORKAROUND_CVE_2022_23960``: Enables mitigation for `CVE-2022-23960`_.
33 This build option should be set to 1 if the target platform contains at
34 least 1 CPU that requires this mitigation. Defaults to 1.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010038CPU Errata Workarounds
39----------------------
40
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000041TF-A exports a series of build flags which control the errata workarounds that
42are applied to each CPU by the reset handler. The errata details can be found
43in the CPU specific errata documents published by Arm:
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010044
45- `Cortex-A53 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
46- `Cortex-A57 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
Eleanor Bonnicic3b4ca12017-08-02 18:33:41 +010047- `Cortex-A72 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010048
49The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision or a set of
50processor revisions. This is checked by the reset handler at runtime. Each
51errata workaround is identified by its ``ID`` as specified in the processor's
52errata notice document. The format of the define used to enable/disable the
53errata workaround is ``ERRATA_<Processor name>_<ID>``, where the ``Processor name``
54is for example ``A57`` for the ``Cortex_A57`` CPU.
55
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +010056Refer to :ref:`firmware_design_cpu_errata_reporting` for information on how to
57write errata workaround functions.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010058
59All workarounds are disabled by default. The platform is responsible for
60enabling these workarounds according to its requirement by defining the
61errata workaround build flags in the platform specific makefile. In case
62these workarounds are enabled for the wrong CPU revision then the errata
63workaround is not applied. In the DEBUG build, this is indicated by
64printing a warning to the crash console.
65
66In the current implementation, a platform which has more than 1 variant
67with different revisions of a processor has no runtime mechanism available
68for it to specify which errata workarounds should be enabled or not.
69
John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +010070The value of the build flags is 0 by default, that is, disabled. A value of 1
71will enable it.

Sandrine Bailleux15530dd2019-02-08 15:26:36 +0100130 a chicken bit in CPUACTLR_EL1 to enable a hardware workaround.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100131 Earlier revisions of the CPU have other errata which require the same
132 workaround in software, so they should be covered anyway.

John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +0100648DSU Errata Workarounds
649----------------------
650
651Similar to CPU errata, TF-A also implements workarounds for DSU (DynamIQ
652Shared Unit) errata. The DSU errata details can be found in the respective Arm
653documentation:
654
655- `Arm DSU Software Developers Errata Notice`_.
656
657Each erratum is identified by an ``ID``, as defined in the DSU errata notice
658document. Thus, the build flags which enable/disable the errata workarounds
659have the format ``ERRATA_DSU_<ID>``. The implementation and application logic
660of DSU errata workarounds are similar to `CPU errata workarounds`_.
661
662For DSU errata, the following build flags are defined:
663
Louis Mayencourt4498b152019-04-09 16:29:01 +0100664- ``ERRATA_DSU_798953``: This applies errata 798953 workaround for the
665 affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
666 revision is r0p0 (on r0p1 it is fixed). However, please note that this
667 workaround results in increased DSU power consumption on idle.
668
John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +0100669- ``ERRATA_DSU_936184``: This applies errata 936184 workaround for the
670 affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
671 contain the ACP interface **and** the DSU revision is older than r2p0 (on
672 r2p0 it is fixed). However, please note that this workaround results in
673 increased DSU power consumption on idle.
674
Bipin Raviaf40d692021-12-22 14:35:21 -0600675- ``ERRATA_DSU_2313941``: This applies errata 2313941 workaround for the
676 affected DSU configurations. This errata applies for those DSUs with
677 revisions r0p0, r1p0, r2p0, r2p1, r3p0, r3p1 and is still open. However,
678 please note that this workaround results in increased DSU power consumption
679 on idle.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100681CPU Specific optimizations
682--------------------------
683
684This section describes some of the optimizations allowed by the CPU micro
685architecture that can be enabled by the platform as desired.
686
687- ``SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN``: This flag enables an optimization in the
688 Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not flushing the Level 1 data
689 cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified cache are inclusive. A flush
690 of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty lines from the L1 as well. This
691 is a known safe deviation from the Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down
692 sequence. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
693 whether to use the optimization.
694
695- ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag disables the cache non-temporal
696 hint. The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 do not behave
697 in a way most programmers expect, and will most probably result in a
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000698 significant speed degradation to any code that employs them. The Armv8-A
699 architecture (see Arm DDI 0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100700 the non-temporal hint and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead. Enabling this
701 flag enforces this behaviour. This needs to be enabled only for revisions
702 <= r0p3 of the CPU and is enabled by default.
703
704- ``A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag has the same behaviour as
705 ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT`` but for Cortex-A57. This needs to be
706 enabled only for revisions <= r1p2 of the CPU and is enabled by default,
707 as recommended in section "4.7 Non-Temporal Loads/Stores" of the
708 `Cortex-A57 Software Optimization Guide`_.
709
Varun Wadekar5ee3abc2018-06-12 16:49:12 -0700710- ''A57_ENABLE_NON_CACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD'': This flag enables non-cacheable
711 streaming enhancement feature for Cortex-A57 CPUs. Platforms can set
712 this bit only if their memory system meets the requirement that cache
713 line fill requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic. Each
714 Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on whether to use
715 the optimization. This flag is disabled by default.
716
Javier Almansa Sobrino9faad3c2020-10-23 13:22:07 +0100717- ``NEOVERSE_Nx_EXTERNAL_LLC``: This flag indicates that an external last
Manish Pandey3880a362020-01-24 11:54:44 +0000718 level cache(LLC) is present in the system, and that the DataSource field
719 on the master CHI interface indicates when data is returned from the LLC.
720 This is used to control how the LL_CACHE* PMU events count.
Javier Almansa Sobrino9faad3c2020-10-23 13:22:07 +0100721 Default value is 0 (Disabled).
Manish Pandey3880a362020-01-24 11:54:44 +0000722
Manish V Badarkhe173c2962022-05-09 21:55:19 +0100723GIC Errata Workarounds
724----------------------
725- ``GIC600_ERRATA_WA_2384374``: This flag applies part 2 of errata 2384374
726 workaround for the affected GIC600 and GIC600-AE implementations. It applies
727 to implementations of GIC600 and GIC600-AE with revisions less than or equal
728 to r1p6 and r0p2 respectively. If the platform sets GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600,
729 then this flag is enabled; otherwise, it is 0 (Disabled).
