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.

9----------------------------------

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.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010034CPU Errata Workarounds
35----------------------
36
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000037TF-A exports a series of build flags which control the errata workarounds that
38are applied to each CPU by the reset handler. The errata details can be found
39in the CPU specific errata documents published by Arm:
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010040
41- `Cortex-A53 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
42- `Cortex-A57 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
Eleanor Bonnicic3b4ca12017-08-02 18:33:41 +010043- `Cortex-A72 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010044
45The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision or a set of
46processor revisions. This is checked by the reset handler at runtime. Each
47errata workaround is identified by its ``ID`` as specified in the processor's
48errata notice document. The format of the define used to enable/disable the
49errata workaround is ``ERRATA_<Processor name>_<ID>``, where the ``Processor name``
50is for example ``A57`` for the ``Cortex_A57`` CPU.
51
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +010052Refer to :ref:`firmware_design_cpu_errata_reporting` for information on how to
53write errata workaround functions.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010054
55All workarounds are disabled by default. The platform is responsible for
56enabling these workarounds according to its requirement by defining the
57errata workaround build flags in the platform specific makefile. In case
58these workarounds are enabled for the wrong CPU revision then the errata
59workaround is not applied. In the DEBUG build, this is indicated by
60printing a warning to the crash console.
61
62In the current implementation, a platform which has more than 1 variant
63with different revisions of a processor has no runtime mechanism available
64for it to specify which errata workarounds should be enabled or not.
65
John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +010066The value of the build flags is 0 by default, that is, disabled. A value of 1
67will enable it.

Sandrine Bailleux15530dd2019-02-08 15:26:36 +0100126 a chicken bit in CPUACTLR_EL1 to enable a hardware workaround.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100127 Earlier revisions of the CPU have other errata which require the same
128 workaround in software, so they should be covered anyway.

John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +0100457DSU Errata Workarounds
458----------------------
459
460Similar to CPU errata, TF-A also implements workarounds for DSU (DynamIQ
461Shared Unit) errata. The DSU errata details can be found in the respective Arm
462documentation:
463
464- `Arm DSU Software Developers Errata Notice`_.
465
466Each erratum is identified by an ``ID``, as defined in the DSU errata notice
467document. Thus, the build flags which enable/disable the errata workarounds
468have the format ``ERRATA_DSU_<ID>``. The implementation and application logic
469of DSU errata workarounds are similar to `CPU errata workarounds`_.
470
471For DSU errata, the following build flags are defined:
472
Louis Mayencourt4498b152019-04-09 16:29:01 +0100473- ``ERRATA_DSU_798953``: This applies errata 798953 workaround for the
474 affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
475 revision is r0p0 (on r0p1 it is fixed). However, please note that this
476 workaround results in increased DSU power consumption on idle.
477
John Tsichritzis4daa1de2018-07-23 09:11:59 +0100478- ``ERRATA_DSU_936184``: This applies errata 936184 workaround for the
479 affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
480 contain the ACP interface **and** the DSU revision is older than r2p0 (on
481 r2p0 it is fixed). However, please note that this workaround results in
482 increased DSU power consumption on idle.
483
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100484CPU Specific optimizations
485--------------------------
486
487This section describes some of the optimizations allowed by the CPU micro
488architecture that can be enabled by the platform as desired.
489
490- ``SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN``: This flag enables an optimization in the
491 Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not flushing the Level 1 data
492 cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified cache are inclusive. A flush
493 of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty lines from the L1 as well. This
494 is a known safe deviation from the Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down
495 sequence. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
496 whether to use the optimization.
497
498- ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag disables the cache non-temporal
499 hint. The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 do not behave
500 in a way most programmers expect, and will most probably result in a
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000501 significant speed degradation to any code that employs them. The Armv8-A
502 architecture (see Arm DDI 0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100503 the non-temporal hint and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead. Enabling this
504 flag enforces this behaviour. This needs to be enabled only for revisions
505 <= r0p3 of the CPU and is enabled by default.
506
507- ``A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag has the same behaviour as
508 ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT`` but for Cortex-A57. This needs to be
509 enabled only for revisions <= r1p2 of the CPU and is enabled by default,
510 as recommended in section "4.7 Non-Temporal Loads/Stores" of the
511 `Cortex-A57 Software Optimization Guide`_.
512
Varun Wadekar5ee3abc2018-06-12 16:49:12 -0700513- ''A57_ENABLE_NON_CACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD'': This flag enables non-cacheable
514 streaming enhancement feature for Cortex-A57 CPUs. Platforms can set
515 this bit only if their memory system meets the requirement that cache
516 line fill requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic. Each
517 Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on whether to use
518 the optimization. This flag is disabled by default.
519
Javier Almansa Sobrino9faad3c2020-10-23 13:22:07 +0100520- ``NEOVERSE_Nx_EXTERNAL_LLC``: This flag indicates that an external last
Manish Pandey3880a362020-01-24 11:54:44 +0000521 level cache(LLC) is present in the system, and that the DataSource field
522 on the master CHI interface indicates when data is returned from the LLC.
523 This is used to control how the LL_CACHE* PMU events count.
Javier Almansa Sobrino9faad3c2020-10-23 13:22:07 +0100524 Default value is 0 (Disabled).
Manish Pandey3880a362020-01-24 11:54:44 +0000525
