fix(cm): do not save SCR_EL3 on external aborts

SCR_EL3 is static. For non-root worlds, once initialised by
cm_setup_context(), its value is immutable and only restored by
el3_exit(). For the root world (or EL3 when that's not a thing)
setup_el3_execution_context() (via prepare_el3_entry()) will write a
different static value in, with the expectation that el3_exit() will
wipe it. As such saving scr_el3 in the case of a double fault is not
necessary, and even harmful as the wrong (root's) value will get written
in.

perf(cpufeat): centralise PAuth key saving

prepare_el3_entry() is meant to be the one-stop shop for all the context
we must fiddle with to enter EL3 proper. However, PAuth is the one
exception, happening right after. Absorb it into prepare_el3_entry(),
handling the BL1/BL31 difference.

This is a good time to also move the key saving into the enable
function, also to centralise. With this it becomes apparent that saving
keys just before CPU_SUSPEND is redundant as they will be reinitialised
when the core wakes up.

Note that the key loading, now in save_gp_pmcr_pauth_regs, does not end
in an isb. The effects of the key change are not needed until the isb
in the caller, so this isb is not needed.

fix(pmu): unconditionally save PMCR_EL0

Reading back a RES0 bit does not necessarily mean it will be read as 0.
The Arm ARM explicitly warns against doing this. The PMU initialisation
code tries to set such bits to 1 (in MDCR_EL3) regardless of whether
they are in use or are RES0, checking their value could be wrong and
PMCR_EL0 might not end up being saved.

Save PMCR_EL0 unconditionally to prevent this. Remove the security state
change as the outgoing state is not relevant to what the root world
context should look like.

Merge "Prevent speculative execution past ERET" into integration


# f461fe34 07-Jan-2020 Anthony Steinhauser <asteinhauser@google.com>

Prevent speculative execution past ERET

Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs

instruction was not a jump

Prevent speculative execution past ERET

Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs
speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET
instruction was not a jump instruction.
The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump
target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege
level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow -
thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET
instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are
always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using
microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very
reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even
relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent
fetches from uncached memory).

This was fixed in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Optee OS:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/679db70801da9fda91d26caf13bf5b5ccc74e8e8

https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/commit/abfd092aa19f9c0251e3d5551e2d68a9ebcfec8a

It is demonstrated in a SafeSide example:

Refactor ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication support code

This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
listed below:
- Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
- New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
- Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
of cpu_data structure.
- `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
- ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
- New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
`pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
cpu-data structure.
- Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
`save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
`restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
- `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
code placed in `el3_exit()`.
- Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
- Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
in `msr spsel` instruction instead of hard-coded values.
- Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

AArch64: Disable Secure Cycle Counter

This patch fixes an issue when secure world timing information
can be leaked because Secure Cycle Counter is not disabled.
For ARMv8.5 the counter gets disabled by setting MDCR_El3.SCCD
bit on CPU cold/warm boot.
For the earlier architectures PMCR_EL0 register is saved/restored
on secure world entry/exit from/to Non-secure state, and cycle
counting gets disabled by setting PMCR_EL0.DP bit.
'include\aarch64\arch.h' header file was tided up and new
ARMv8.5-PMU related definitions were added.

Sanitise includes across codebase

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: e0ea0928d5b7 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a282 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988b9 ("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.
