[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 6/8] configs/qemu_armv7a_tz_virt: Armv7-A emulation with TrustZone services

This change introduces a Qemu board for an Armv7-A target executing
with OP-TEE secure world services.

The target Linux based normal world embeds the standard minimal
filesystem with OP-TEE non-secure components embedded files from
OP-TEE test, examples and benchmark packages.

The Linux custom configuration is dumped from the vexpress_defconfig
with few added fragments: OP-TEE driver and 9p for virtual filesystem
to ease file manipulation and exchanges through Qemu virtfs support.

U-Boot qemu_arm defconfig is modified with a configuration fragment
to set boot command, enable semihosting and remove U-Boot persistent
environment storage support.

The standard way for booting OP-TEE with a non-secure world companion
use the Arm Trusted Firmware-A as bootloader. OP-TEE OS provides the
BL32 image and U-boot the BL33 image. The boot scenario is:

  TF-A bootloader (BL1/BL2) => OP-TEE (BL32) => U-boot (BL33).
  | Executes as secure         | Secure         | Execs as Non-secure
  | Loads BL32/BL33 in RAM     | Jumps to BL33  | Always booted after
  | Jumps to BL32 once done    | as Non-secure  | secure world inits

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Bump kernel to 4.19.
  - Use kernel defconfig and add optee and 9p as config fragments.
  - Remove ARM_ARCH_MAJOR from platform configuration directive
    BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_ADDITIONAL_VARIABLES.

+Board qemu_armv7a_tz_virt builds a Qemu Armv7-A target system with
+OP-TEE running in the TrustZone secure wolrd setup and a Linux based
+OS running in the non-secure wolrd. The board also builds the Qemu
+host to run the Arm target emulation.
+
+  make qemu_armv7a_tz_virt_defconfig
+  make
+
+BIOS used in the Qemu host is the Arm Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A). TF-A
+uses Qemu semihosting file access to access boot image files. The
+Qemu platform is quite specific for that in TF-A and one needs to
+rename some image files and run the emulation from the image directory
+for TF-A to boot the secure and non-secure world.
+
+I.e:
+  ln -s ./u-boot.bin output/images/bl33.bin
+  ln -s ./tee-header_v2.bin output/images/bl32.bin
+  ln -s ./tee-pager_v2.bin output/images/bl32_extra1.bin
+  ln -s ./tee-pageable_v2.bin output/images/bl32_extra2.bin
+
+Run the emulation from the output/images directory with:
+
+  cd output/images && ../host/bin/qemu-system-arm \
+	-machine virt -machine secure=on -cpu cortex-a15 \
+	-smp 1 -s -m 1024 -d unimp \
+	-serial stdio \
+	-netdev user,id=vmnic -device virtio-net-device,netdev=vmnic \
+	-semihosting-config enable,target=native \
+	-bios bl1.bin
+
+The boot stage traces (if any) followed by the login prompt will appear
+in the terminal that started Qemu.
+
+If you want to emulate more cores use "-smp {1|2|3|4}" to select the
+number of cores.
+
+Note "-netdev user,id=vmnic -device virtio-net-device,netdev=vmnic"
+brings virtfs support for file sharing with the hosted Linux OS. Board
+Linux configuration file for armv7a-tz-virt enables the requiredresources.
+BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU_VIRTFS=y build Qemu with required resources.
+
+Tested with QEMU 2.12.0
+
+-- Boot Details --
+
+TF-A is used as Qemu BIOS. Its BL1 image boots and load its BL2 image. In turn, this
+image loads the OP-TEE secure world (Armv7-A BL32 stage) and the U-boot as non-secure
+bootloader (BL33 stage).
+
+The Qemu natively host and loads in RAM the Qemu Arm target device tree. OP-TEE reads
+and modifes its content according to OP-TEE configuration.
+
+Enable TF-A traces from LOG_LEVEL (I.e LOG_LEVEL=40) from
+BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_ADDITIONAL_VARIABLES.
+
+-- OP-TEE Traces --
+
+Secure boot stages and/or secure runtime services may use a serial link for
+their traces.
+
+The Arm Trusted Firmware outputs its traces on the Qemu standard (first)
+serial  interface.
+
+The OP-TEE OS uses the Qemu second serial interface.
+
+To get the OP-TEE OS traces one shall append a second -serial argument after
+-serial stdio in the Qemu command line. I.e the following enables 2 serial
+consoles over telnet connections:
+
+  cd output/images && ../host/bin/qemu-system-arm \
+	-machine virt -machine secure=on -cpu cortex-a15 \
+	-smp 1 -s -m 1024 -d unimp \
+	-serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1235,server \
+	-serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1236,server \
+	-netdev user,id=vmnic -device virtio-net-device,netdev=vmnic \
+	-semihosting-config enable,target=native \
+	-bios bl1.bin
+
+Qemu is now waiting for the telnet connection. From another shell, open a
+telnet connection on the port for the U-boot and Linux consoles:
+  telnet 127.0.0.1 1235
+
+and again for the secure console
+  telnet 127.0.0.1 1236
+
+-- Using gdb --
+
+One can debug the OP-TEE secure world using GDB through the Qemu host.
+To do so, one can simply run the qemu-system-arm emulation then
+run a GDB client and connect the Qemu internal GDB server.
+
+The example below assumes we run Qemu and the GDB client from the same
+host computer. We use option -S of qemu-system-arm to make Qemu
+waiting for the GDB continue instruction before booting the images.
+
+From a first shell:
+  cd output/images && ../host/bin/qemu-system-arm \
+	-machine virt -machine secure=on -cpu cortex-a15 \
+	-smp 1 -s -m 1024 -d unimp \
+	-serial stdio \
+	-netdev user,id=vmnic -device virtio-net-device,netdev=vmnic \
+	-semihosting-config enable,target=native \
+	-bios bl1.bin \
+	-S
+
+From a second shell:
+  ./output/host/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gd
+  GNU gdb (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.2-2018-08 (arm-rel-8.23)) 8.1.1.20180704-git

+From this GDB console, connect target, load OP-TEE core symbols, set a
+breakpoint to its entry (__text_start) and start emulation:
