Merge patch series "ATF and OP-TEE Firewalling for K3 devices."WIP/04Jan2024-next

Manorit Chawdhry <m-chawdhry@ti.com> says:

K3 devices have firewalls that are used to prevent illegal accesses to
memory regions that are deemed secure. The series prevents the illegal
accesses to ATF and OP-TEE regions that are present in different K3
devices.

AM62X, AM62AX and AM64X are currently in hold due to some firewall
configurations that our System Controller (TIFS) needs to handle.
The devices that are not configured with the firewalling nodes will not
be affected and can continue to work fine until the firewall nodes are
added so will be a non-blocking merge.

+Secure Boot
+-----------
+
+K3 HS-SE (High Security - Security Enforced) devices enforce an
+authenticated boot flow for secure boot. HS-FS (High Security - Field
+Securable) is the state of a K3 device before it has been eFused with
+customer security keys.  In the HS-FS state the authentication still can
+function as in HS-SE but as there are no customer keys to verify the
+signatures against the authentication will pass for certificates signed
+with any key.
+
+Chain of trust
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+1) Public ROM loads the tiboot3.bin (R5 SPL, TIFS)
+2) R5 SPL loads tispl.bin (ATF, OP-TEE, DM, SPL)
+3) SPL loads u-boot.img (U-Boot)
+4) U-Boot loads fitImage (Linux and DTBs)
+
+Steps 1-3 are all authenticated by either the Secure ROM or TIFS as the
+authenticating entity and step 4 uses U-boot standard mechanism for
+authenticating.
+
+All the authentication that are done for ROM/TIFS are done through x509
+certificates that are signed.
+
+Firewalls
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+1) Secure ROM comes up and sets up firewalls that are needed by itself
+2) TIFS will setup it's own firewalls to protect core system resources
+3) R5 SPL will remove any firewalls that are leftover from the Secure ROM stage
+   that are no longer required.
+4) Each stage beyond this: such as tispl.bin containing TFA/OPTEE uses OIDs to
+   set up firewalls to protect themselves (enforced by TIFS)
+5) TFA/OP-TEE can configure other firewalls at runtime if required as they
+   are already authenticated and firewalled off from illegal access.
+6) All later stages can setup or remove firewalls that have not been already
+   configured by previous stages, such as those created by TIFS, TFA, and OP-TEE.
+
+Futhur, firewalls have a lockdown bit in hardware that enforces the setting
+(and cannot be over-ridden) until the full system is reset.
