1Arm CPU Specific Build Macros
2=============================
3
4This 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.
7
8Security Vulnerability Workarounds
9----------------------------------
10
11TF-A exports a series of build flags which control which security
12vulnerability workarounds should be applied at runtime.
13
14-  ``WORKAROUND_CVE_2017_5715``: Enables the security workaround for
15   `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.
20
21-  ``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
27-  ``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
32-  ``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.

38CPU Errata Workarounds
39----------------------
40
41TF-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:
44
45-  `Cortex-A53 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
46-  `Cortex-A57 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
47-  `Cortex-A72 MPCore Software Developers Errata Notice`_
48
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
56Refer to :ref:`firmware_design_cpu_errata_reporting` for information on how to
57write errata workaround functions.
58
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
70The value of the build flags is 0 by default, that is, disabled. A value of 1
71will enable it.

566DSU Errata Workarounds
567----------------------
568
569Similar to CPU errata, TF-A also implements workarounds for DSU (DynamIQ
570Shared Unit) errata. The DSU errata details can be found in the respective Arm
571documentation:
572
573- `Arm DSU Software Developers Errata Notice`_.
574
575Each erratum is identified by an ``ID``, as defined in the DSU errata notice
576document. Thus, the build flags which enable/disable the errata workarounds
577have the format ``ERRATA_DSU_<ID>``. The implementation and application logic
578of DSU errata workarounds are similar to `CPU errata workarounds`_.
579
580For DSU errata, the following build flags are defined:
581
582-  ``ERRATA_DSU_798953``: This applies errata 798953 workaround for the
583   affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
584   revision is r0p0 (on r0p1 it is fixed). However, please note that this
585   workaround results in increased DSU power consumption on idle.
586
587-  ``ERRATA_DSU_936184``: This applies errata 936184 workaround for the
588   affected DSU configurations. This errata applies only for those DSUs that
589   contain the ACP interface **and** the DSU revision is older than r2p0 (on
590   r2p0 it is fixed). However, please note that this workaround results in
591   increased DSU power consumption on idle.
592
593-  ``ERRATA_DSU_2313941``: This applies errata 2313941 workaround for the
594   affected DSU configurations. This errata applies for those DSUs with
595   revisions r0p0, r1p0, r2p0, r2p1, r3p0, r3p1 and is still open. However,
596   please note that this workaround results in increased DSU power consumption
597   on idle.
598
599CPU Specific optimizations
600--------------------------
601
602This section describes some of the optimizations allowed by the CPU micro
603architecture that can be enabled by the platform as desired.
604
605-  ``SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN``: This flag enables an optimization in the
606   Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not flushing the Level 1 data
607   cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified cache are inclusive. A flush
608   of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty lines from the L1 as well. This
609   is a known safe deviation from the Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down
610   sequence. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
611   whether to use the optimization.
612
613-  ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag disables the cache non-temporal
614   hint. The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 do not behave
615   in a way most programmers expect, and will most probably result in a
616   significant speed degradation to any code that employs them. The Armv8-A
617   architecture (see Arm DDI 0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore
618   the non-temporal hint and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead. Enabling this
619   flag enforces this behaviour. This needs to be enabled only for revisions
620   <= r0p3 of the CPU and is enabled by default.
621
622-  ``A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT``: This flag has the same behaviour as
623   ``A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT`` but for Cortex-A57. This needs to be
624   enabled only for revisions <= r1p2 of the CPU and is enabled by default,
625   as recommended in section "4.7 Non-Temporal Loads/Stores" of the
626   `Cortex-A57 Software Optimization Guide`_.
627
628- ''A57_ENABLE_NON_CACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD'': This flag enables non-cacheable
629   streaming enhancement feature for Cortex-A57 CPUs. Platforms can set
630   this bit only if their memory system meets the requirement that cache
631   line fill requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic. Each
632   Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on whether to use
633   the optimization. This flag is disabled by default.
634
635-  ``NEOVERSE_Nx_EXTERNAL_LLC``: This flag indicates that an external last
636   level cache(LLC) is present in the system, and that the DataSource field
637   on the master CHI interface indicates when data is returned from the LLC.
638   This is used to control how the LL_CACHE* PMU events count.
639   Default value is 0 (Disabled).
640
641GIC Errata Workarounds
642----------------------
643-  ``GIC600_ERRATA_WA_2384374``: This flag applies part 2 of errata 2384374
644   workaround for the affected GIC600 and GIC600-AE implementations. It applies
645   to implementations of GIC600 and GIC600-AE with revisions less than or equal
646   to r1p6 and r0p2 respectively. If the platform sets GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600,
647   then this flag is enabled; otherwise, it is 0 (Disabled).
