7Porting Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to a new platform involves making some
8mandatory and optional modifications for both the cold and warm boot paths.
9Modifications consist of:
10
11-  Implementing a platform-specific function or variable,
12-  Setting up the execution context in a certain way, or
13-  Defining certain constants (for example #defines).
14
15The platform-specific functions and variables are declared in
16``include/plat/common/platform.h``. The firmware provides a default
17implementation of variables and functions to fulfill the optional requirements
18in order to ease the porting effort. Each platform port can use them as is or
19provide their own implementation if the default implementation is inadequate.
20
21   .. note::
22
23      TF-A historically provided default implementations of platform interfaces
24      as *weak* functions. This practice is now discouraged and new platform
25      interfaces as they get introduced in the code base should be *strongly*
26      defined. We intend to convert existing weak functions over time. Until
27      then, you will find references to *weak* functions in this document.
28
29Please review the :ref:`Threat Model` documents as part of the porting
30effort. Some platform interfaces play a key role in mitigating against some of
31the threats. Failing to fulfill these expectations could undermine the security
32guarantees offered by TF-A. These platform responsibilities are highlighted in
33the threat assessment section, under the "`Mitigations implemented?`" box for
34each threat.
35
36Some modifications are common to all Boot Loader (BL) stages. Section 2
37discusses these in detail. The subsequent sections discuss the remaining
38modifications for each BL stage in detail.
39
40Please refer to the :ref:`Platform Ports Policy` for the policy regarding
41compatibility and deprecation of these porting interfaces.
42
43Only Arm development platforms (such as FVP and Juno) may use the
44functions/definitions in ``include/plat/arm/common/`` and the corresponding
45source files in ``plat/arm/common/``. This is done so that there are no
46dependencies between platforms maintained by different people/companies. If you
47want to use any of the functionality present in ``plat/arm`` files, please
48propose a patch that moves the code to ``plat/common`` so that it can be
49discussed.
50
51Common modifications
52--------------------
53
54This section covers the modifications that should be made by the platform for
55each BL stage to correctly port the firmware stack. They are categorized as
56either mandatory or optional.
57
58Common mandatory modifications
59------------------------------
60
61A platform port must enable the Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as the
62instruction and data caches for each BL stage. Setting up the translation
63tables is the responsibility of the platform port because memory maps differ
64across platforms. A memory translation library (see ``lib/xlat_tables_v2/``) is
65provided to help in this setup.
66
67Note that although this library supports non-identity mappings, this is intended
68only for re-mapping peripheral physical addresses and allows platforms with high
69I/O addresses to reduce their virtual address space. All other addresses
70corresponding to code and data must currently use an identity mapping.
71
72Also, the only translation granule size supported in TF-A is 4KB, as various
73parts of the code assume that is the case. It is not possible to switch to
7416 KB or 64 KB granule sizes at the moment.
75
76In Arm standard platforms, each BL stage configures the MMU in the
77platform-specific architecture setup function, ``blX_plat_arch_setup()``, and uses
78an identity mapping for all addresses.
79
80If the build option ``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` is enabled, each platform can allocate a
81block of identity mapped secure memory with Device-nGnRE attributes aligned to
82page boundary (4K) for each BL stage. All sections which allocate coherent
83memory are grouped under ``.coherent_ram``. For ex: Bakery locks are placed in a
84section identified by name ``.bakery_lock`` inside ``.coherent_ram`` so that its
85possible for the firmware to place variables in it using the following C code
86directive:
87
88::
89
90    __section(".bakery_lock")
91
92Or alternatively the following assembler code directive:
93
94::
95
96    .section .bakery_lock
97
98The ``.coherent_ram`` section is a sum of all sections like ``.bakery_lock`` which are
99used to allocate any data structures that are accessed both when a CPU is
100executing with its MMU and caches enabled, and when it's running with its MMU
101and caches disabled. Examples are given below.
102
103The following variables, functions and constants must be defined by the platform
104for the firmware to work correctly.
105
106.. _platform_def_mandatory:
107
108File : platform_def.h [mandatory]
109~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
110
111Each platform must ensure that a header file of this name is in the system
112include path with the following constants defined. This will require updating
113the list of ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` in the ``platform.mk`` file.
114
115Platform ports may optionally use the file ``include/plat/common/common_def.h``,
116which provides typical values for some of the constants below. These values are
117likely to be suitable for all platform ports.
118
119-  **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_FORMAT**
120
121   Defines the linker format used by the platform, for example
122   ``elf64-littleaarch64``.
123
124-  **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_ARCH**
125
126   Defines the processor architecture for the linker by the platform, for
127   example ``aarch64``.
128
129-  **#define : PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE**
130
131   Defines the normal stack memory available to each CPU. This constant is used
132   by ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` and
133   ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S``.
134
135-  **#define : CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE**
136
137   Defines the size in bytes of the largest cache line across all the cache
138   levels in the platform.
139
140-  **#define : FIRMWARE_WELCOME_STR**
141
142   Defines the character string printed by BL1 upon entry into the ``bl1_main()``
143   function.
144
145-  **#define : PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT**
146
147   Defines the total number of CPUs implemented by the platform across all
148   clusters in the system.
149
150-  **#define : PLAT_NUM_PWR_DOMAINS**
151
152   Defines the total number of nodes in the power domain topology
153   tree at all the power domain levels used by the platform.
154   This macro is used by the PSCI implementation to allocate
155   data structures to represent power domain topology.
156
157-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL**
158
159   Defines the maximum power domain level that the power management operations
160   should apply to. More often, but not always, the power domain level
161   corresponds to affinity level. This macro allows the PSCI implementation
162   to know the highest power domain level that it should consider for power
163   management operations in the system that the platform implements. For
164   example, the Base AEM FVP implements two clusters with a configurable
165   number of CPUs and it reports the maximum power domain level as 1.
166
167-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE**
168
169   Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest power down
170   possible at every power domain level in the platform. The local power
171   states for each level may be sparsely allocated between 0 and this value
172   with 0 being reserved for the RUN state. The PSCI implementation uses this
173   value to initialize the local power states of the power domain nodes and
174   to specify the requested power state for a PSCI_CPU_OFF call.
175
176-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE**
177
178   Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest retention state
179   possible at every power domain level in the platform. This macro should be
180   a value less than PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE and greater than 0. It is used by the
181   PSCI implementation to distinguish between retention and power down local
182   power states within PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND call.
183
184-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES**
185
186   Defines the maximum number of local power states per power domain level
187   that the platform supports. The default value of this macro is 2 since
188   most platforms just support a maximum of two local power states at each
189   power domain level (power-down and retention). If the platform needs to
190   account for more local power states, then it must redefine this macro.
191
192   Currently, this macro is used by the Generic PSCI implementation to size
193   the array used for PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY accounting.
194
195-  **#define : BL1_RO_BASE**
196

203   excluding any data section allocated at runtime) can occupy.
204
205-  **#define : BL1_RW_BASE**
206
207   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL1's read-write data will live
208   at runtime. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.
209
210-  **#define : BL1_RW_LIMIT**

212   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that BL1's read-write data can
213   occupy at runtime.
214
215-  **#define : BL2_BASE**
216
217   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL1 loads the BL2 binary image.
218   Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is not applicable
219   when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
220
221-  **#define : BL2_LIMIT**
222
223   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL2 image can occupy.
224   This constant is not applicable when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
225
226-  **#define : BL2_RO_BASE**
227
228   Defines the base address in secure XIP memory where BL2 RO section originally
229   lives. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is only needed
230   when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.

235   (i.e. excluding any data section allocated at runtime) can occupy. This
236   constant is only needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
237
238-  **#define : BL2_RW_BASE**
239
240   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL2's read-write data will live
241   at runtime. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is only
242   needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
243
244-  **#define : BL2_RW_LIMIT**
245
246   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that BL2's read-write data can
247   occupy at runtime. This constant is only needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set
248   to '1'.
249
250-  **#define : BL31_BASE**
251
252   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL2 loads the BL31 binary
253   image. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.

258
259-  **#define : PLAT_RSS_COMMS_PAYLOAD_MAX_SIZE**
260
261   Defines the maximum message size between AP and RSS. Need to define if
262   platform supports RSS.
263
264For every image, the platform must define individual identifiers that will be
265used by BL1 or BL2 to load the corresponding image into memory from non-volatile
266storage. For the sake of performance, integer numbers will be used as
267identifiers. The platform will use those identifiers to return the relevant
268information about the image to be loaded (file handler, load address,
269authentication information, etc.). The following image identifiers are
270mandatory:
271
272-  **#define : BL2_IMAGE_ID**
273
274   BL2 image identifier, used by BL1 to load BL2.

323
324   This defines the base address of Arm® TrustZone® CryptoCell and must be
325   defined if CryptoCell crypto driver is used for Trusted Board Boot. For
326   capable Arm platforms, this driver is used if ``ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG`` is
327   set.

431
432-  **#define : BL32_BASE**

434   Defines the base address in secure memory where BL2 loads the BL32 binary
435   image. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.
436
437-  **#define : BL32_LIMIT**
438
439   Defines the maximum address that the BL32 image can occupy.
440
441If the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) instantiation of BL32 is supported by the
442platform, the following constants must also be defined:
443
444-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE**
445
446   Defines the base address of the secure memory used by the TSP image on the
447   platform. This must be at the same address or below ``BL32_BASE``.
448
449-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE**
450

452   platform. ``TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE`` and ``TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE`` must fully
453   accommodate the memory required by the BL32 image, defined by ``BL32_BASE``
454   and ``BL32_LIMIT``.

457
458   Defines the ID of the secure physical generic timer interrupt used by the
459   TSP's interrupt handling code.
460
461If the platform port uses the translation table library code, the following
462constants must also be defined:
463
464-  **#define : PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC**
465
466   Optional flag that can be set per-image to enable the dynamic allocation of
467   regions even when the MMU is enabled. If not defined, only static
468   functionality will be available, if defined and set to 1 it will also
469   include the dynamic functionality.
470
471-  **#define : MAX_XLAT_TABLES**
472
473   Defines the maximum number of translation tables that are allocated by the
474   translation table library code. To minimize the amount of runtime memory
475   used, choose the smallest value needed to map the required virtual addresses
476   for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is enabled for a BL
477   image, ``MAX_XLAT_TABLES`` must be defined to accommodate the dynamic regions
478   as well.
479
480-  **#define : MAX_MMAP_REGIONS**
481
482   Defines the maximum number of regions that are allocated by the translation
483   table library code. A region consists of physical base address, virtual base
484   address, size and attributes (Device/Memory, RO/RW, Secure/Non-Secure), as
485   defined in the ``mmap_region_t`` structure. The platform defines the regions
486   that should be mapped. Then, the translation table library will create the
487   corresponding tables and descriptors at runtime. To minimize the amount of
488   runtime memory used, choose the smallest value needed to register the
489   required regions for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is
490   enabled for a BL image, ``MAX_MMAP_REGIONS`` must be defined to accommodate
491   the dynamic regions as well.
492
493-  **#define : PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
494
495   Defines the total size of the virtual address space in bytes. For example,
496   for a 32 bit virtual address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
497
498-  **#define : PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
499
500   Defines the total size of the physical address space in bytes. For example,
501   for a 32 bit physical address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
502
503If the platform port uses the IO storage framework, the following constants
504must also be defined:
505
506-  **#define : MAX_IO_DEVICES**
507
508   Defines the maximum number of registered IO devices. Attempting to register
509   more devices than this value using ``io_register_device()`` will fail with
510   -ENOMEM.
511
512-  **#define : MAX_IO_HANDLES**
513
514   Defines the maximum number of open IO handles. Attempting to open more IO
515   entities than this value using ``io_open()`` will fail with -ENOMEM.
516
517-  **#define : MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES**
518
519   Defines the maximum number of registered IO block devices. Attempting to
520   register more devices this value using ``io_dev_open()`` will fail
521   with -ENOMEM. MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be less than MAX_IO_DEVICES.
522   With this macro, multiple block devices could be supported at the same
523   time.
524
525If the platform needs to allocate data within the per-cpu data framework in
526BL31, it should define the following macro. Currently this is only required if
527the platform decides not to use the coherent memory section by undefining the
528``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` build flag. In this case, the framework allocates the
529required memory within the the per-cpu data to minimize wastage.
530
531-  **#define : PLAT_PCPU_DATA_SIZE**
532
533   Defines the memory (in bytes) to be reserved within the per-cpu data
534   structure for use by the platform layer.
535
536The following constants are optional. They should be defined when the platform
537memory layout implies some image overlaying like in Arm standard platforms.
538
539-  **#define : BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
540
541   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31's progbits sections
542   can occupy.
543
544-  **#define : TSP_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
545
546   Defines the maximum address that the TSP's progbits sections can occupy.
547
548If the platform supports OS-initiated mode, i.e. the build option
549``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, and if the platform's maximum power domain
550level for PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND differs from ``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``, the following
551constant must be defined.
552
553-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_CPU_SUSPEND_PWR_LVL**
554
555   Defines the maximum power domain level that PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND should apply to.
556
557If the platform port uses the PL061 GPIO driver, the following constant may
558optionally be defined:
559
560-  **PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS**
561   Maximum number of GPIOs required by the platform. This allows control how
562   much memory is allocated for PL061 GPIO controllers. The default value is
563
564   #. $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS))
565
566If the platform port uses the partition driver, the following constant may
567optionally be defined:
568
569-  **PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES**
570   Maximum number of partition entries required by the platform. This allows
571   control how much memory is allocated for partition entries. The default
572   value is 128.
573   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
574   PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES := 12
575   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES))
576
577-  **PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE**
578   The size of partition block. It could be either 512 bytes or 4096 bytes.
579   The default value is 512.
580   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
581   PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE := 4096
582   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE))
583
584If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver, the following
585configuration must be performed:
586
587- The NPU SiP service handler must be hooked up. This consists of both the
588  initial setup (``ethosn_smc_setup``) and the handler itself
589  (``ethosn_smc_handler``)
590
591If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver with TZMP1 support
592enabled, the following constants and configuration must also be defined:
593
594- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_FW_NSAID**
595
596  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use to
597  access the protected memory that contains the NPU's firmware.
598
599- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RW_NSAID**
600
601  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
602  read/write access to the protected memory that contains inference data.
603
604- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RO_NSAID**
605
606  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
607  read-only access to the protected memory that contains inference data.
608

610
611  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
612  read/write access to the non-protected memory.
613
614- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_NS_RO_DATA_NSAID**
615
616  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
617  read-only access to the non-protected memory.
618
619- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE** and **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT**
620
621  Defines the physical address range that the NPU's firmware will be loaded
622  into and executed from.
623
624- Configure the platforms TrustZone Controller (TZC) with appropriate regions
625  of protected memory. At minimum this must include a region for the NPU's
626  firmware code and a region for protected inference data, and these must be
627  accessible using the NSAIDs defined above.
628
629- Include the NPU firmware and certificates in the FIP.
630
631- Provide FCONF entries to configure the image source for the NPU firmware
632  and certificates.
633
634- Add MMU mappings such that:
635
636 - BL2 can write the NPU firmware into the region defined by
637   ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE`` and ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT``
638 - BL31 (SiP service) can read the NPU firmware from the same region
639
640- Add the firmware image ID ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_ID`` to the list of images
641  loaded by BL2.
642
643Please see the reference implementation code for the Juno platform as an example.
644
645
646The following constant is optional. It should be defined to override the default
647behaviour of the ``assert()`` function (for example, to save memory).
648
649-  **PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT**
650   If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` is higher or equal than ``LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE``,
651   ``assert()`` prints the name of the file, the line number and the asserted
652   expression. Else if it is higher than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it prints the file
653   name and the line number. Else if it is lower than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it
654   doesn't print anything to the console. If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` isn't
655   defined, it defaults to ``LOG_LEVEL``.
656
657If the platform port uses the DRTM feature, the following constants must be
658defined:
659
660-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE**
661
662   Maximum Event Log size used by the platform. Platform can decide the maximum
663   size of the Event Log buffer, depending upon the highest hash algorithm
664   chosen and the number of components selected to measure during the DRTM
665   execution flow.
666
667-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_MMAP_ENTRIES**
668
669   Number of the MMAP entries used by the DRTM implementation to calculate the
670   size of address map region of the platform.
671
672File : plat_macros.S [mandatory]
673~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
674
675Each platform must ensure a file of this name is in the system include path with
676the following macro defined. In the Arm development platforms, this file is
677found in ``plat/arm/board/<plat_name>/include/plat_macros.S``.
678
679-  **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs**
680
681   This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform
682   registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging
683   and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not
684   desired.
685
686   For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for
687   troubleshooting.
688
689Handling Reset
690--------------
691
692BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold
693or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the
694``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable.
695
696For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks:
697
698#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot.
699
700#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that
701   the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU
702   performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state.
703
704#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform-
705   specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was
706   when released from reset.
707
708The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
709reset vector code to perform the above tasks.
710
711Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0]
712~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
713
714::
715
716    Argument : void
717    Return   : uintptr_t
718
719This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled
720(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for
721distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using
722platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm
723reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during
724BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero.
725
726This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the
727Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should
728not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this
729function.
730
731This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above.
732
733Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is
734expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address,
735both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the
736type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing
737this function is not required on such platforms.
738
739Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741
742::
743
744    Argument : void
745
746This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible
747for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the
748primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and
749allow entry into the OS. This function must not return.
750
751In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers
752itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs
753when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead,
754they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets
755populated.
756
757This function fulfills requirement 2 above.
758
759Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
760primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this
761function is not required on such platforms.
762
763Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
765
766::
767
768    Argument : void
769    Return   : unsigned int
770
771This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a
772secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the
773primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the
774primary CPU.
775
776Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
777primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to
778distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is
779not required.
780
781Function : platform_mem_init() [mandatory]
782~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
783
784::
785
786    Argument : void
787    Return   : void
788
789This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in
790order to carry out any essential memory initialization.
791
792Function: plat_get_rotpk_info()
793~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
794
795::
796
797    Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int *
798    Return   : int
799
800This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a
801pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length.
802The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1
803structure:
804
805::
806
807    AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
808        algorithm         OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
809        parameters        ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
810    }
811
812    SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
813        algorithm         AlgorithmIdentifier,
814        subjectPublicKey  BIT STRING
815    }
816
817In case the function returns a hash of the key:
818
819::
820
821    DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
822        digestAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
823        digest            OCTET STRING
824    }
825
826The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the
827Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related
828to the ROTPK in the flags parameter:
829
830::
831
832    ROTPK_IS_HASH      : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a
833                         hash.
834    ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK
835                         verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed.
836                         When this flag is set, the function does not need to
837                         return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication
838                         framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without
839                         verifying it against the platform value. This flag
840                         must not be used in a deployed production environment.
841
842Function: plat_get_nv_ctr()
843~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
844
845::
846
847    Argument : void *, unsigned int *
848    Return   : int
849
850This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the
851non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The
852cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the
853platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default
854TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in
855TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID).
856
857The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
858not be retrieved from the platform.
859
860Function: plat_set_nv_ctr()
861~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
862
863::
864
865    Argument : void *, unsigned int
866    Return   : int
867
868This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new
869counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to
870select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is
871the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter.
872
873The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
874not be updated.
875
876Function: plat_set_nv_ctr2()
877~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
878
879::
880
881    Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int
882    Return   : int
883
884This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this
885interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The
886first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to
887differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV
888Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image
889descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be
890updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to
891be written to the NV counter.
892
893The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value
894either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates
895that it is not allowed to be updated.
896

933
934This function returns *true* if platform uses peripherals whose DMA is not
935managed by an SMMU, otherwise returns *false*.
936
937Note -
938If the platform has peripherals that are not managed by the SMMU, then the
939platform should investigate such peripherals to determine whether they can
940be trusted, and such peripherals should be moved under "Non-host platforms"
941if they can be trusted.
942

1077Common mandatory function modifications
1078---------------------------------------
1079
1080The following functions are mandatory functions which need to be implemented
1081by the platform port.
1082
1083Function : plat_my_core_pos()
1084~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1085
1086::
1087
1088    Argument : void
1089    Return   : unsigned int
1090
1091This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
1092CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
1093per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
1094initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
1095implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
1096runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
1097x9 - x29.
1098
1099This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
1100PSCI and details of this can be found in
1101:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1102
1103Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
1104~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1105
1106::
1107
1108    Argument : u_register_t
1109    Return   : int
1110
1111This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
1112which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
1113case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
1114be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
1115utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
1116represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU
1117index, please refer :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1118
1119Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
1120~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1121
1122::
1123
1124    Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
1125    Return    : int
1126
1127This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
1128by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
1129internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
1130must be able to provide a heap to it.
1131
1132A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
1133which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
1134(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
1135the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
1136For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
1137from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
1138
1139However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
1140optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
1141shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
1142twice.
1143
1144On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1145
1146Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]
1147~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1148
1149::
1150
1151    Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key,
1152                size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
1153                size_t img_id_len
1154    Return    : int
1155
1156This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
1157fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
1158firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
1159implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
1160trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
1161
1162It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
1163actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
1164secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
1165flag must be set in ``flags``.
1166
1167In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
1168symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
1169
1170On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1171
1172Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
1173
1174Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1175~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1176
1177::
1178
1179    Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata
1180    Return   : void
1181
1182This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
1183It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
1184non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
1185FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
1186image specification information.
1187Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
1188images rely on this function call.
1189
1190In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
1191container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
1192
1193Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1194~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1195
1196::
1197
1198    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
1199               uintptr_t *image_spec
1200    Return   : int
1201
1202This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
1203responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
1204image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
1205be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
1206
1207FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
1208to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
1209statically in I/O policy.
1210For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
1211partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
1212that needs to be parsed dynamically.
1213This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
1214the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
1215Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
1216image relies on this function call.
1217
1218It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
1219Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
1220of the requested FWU metadata image.
1221
1222Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1223~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1224
1225::
1226
1227    Argument : void
1228    Return   : uint32_t
1229
1230This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
1231means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
1232bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
1233
1234By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
1235the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
1236reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
1237resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
1238from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
1239should boot its images from.
1240
1241Common optional modifications
1242-----------------------------
1243
1244The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
1245common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these
1246definitions.
1247
1248Function : plat_set_my_stack()
1249~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1250
1251::
1252
1253    Argument : void
1254    Return   : void
1255
1256This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that
1257has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1258stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1259of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1260constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1261
1262Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1263provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1264``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1265
1266Function : plat_get_my_stack()
1267~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1268
1269::
1270
1271    Argument : void
1272    Return   : uintptr_t
1273
1274This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that
1275has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1276stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1277of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1278constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1279
1280Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1281provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1282``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1283
1284Function : plat_report_exception()
1285~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1286
1287::
1288
1289    Argument : unsigned int
1290    Return   : void
1291
1292A platform may need to report various information about its status when an
1293exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security
1294state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1295called in the following circumstances:
1296
1297-  In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1298-  In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1299
1300The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1301about the way the platform displays its status information.
1302
1303For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1304Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
1305``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
1306related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
1307
1308For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.
1309Possible values for exception modes are listed in the
1310``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file.
1311
1312Function : plat_reset_handler()
1313~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1314
1315::
1316
1317    Argument : void
1318    Return   : void
1319
1320A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function
1321allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform
1322specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should
1323preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29.
1324
1325The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override
1326the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general
1327guidelines.
1328
1329Function : plat_disable_acp()
1330~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1331
1332::
1333
1334    Argument : void
1335    Return   : void
1336
1337This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if
1338present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation
1339doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence,
1340it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as
1341scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used
1342by the caller to store the return address.
1343
1344Function : plat_error_handler()
1345~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1346
1347::
1348
1349    Argument : int
1350    Return   : void
1351
1352This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from
1353which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or
1354recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return.
1355
1356The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``.
1357Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
1358
1359-  ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted
1360   Board Boot is enabled)
1361-  ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO
1362   error was detected
1363-  ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this
1364   error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size
1365
1366The default implementation simply spins.
1367
1368Function : plat_panic_handler()
1369~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1370
1371::
1372
1373    Argument : void
1374    Return   : void
1375
1376This API is called when the generic code encounters an unexpected error
1377situation from which it cannot recover. This function must not return,
1378and must be implemented in assembly because it may be called before the C
1379environment is initialized.
1380
1381.. note::
1382   The address from where it was called is stored in x30 (Link Register).
1383   The default implementation simply spins.
1384
1385Function : plat_system_reset()
1386~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1387
1388::
1389
1390    Argument : void
1391    Return   : void
1392
1393This function is used by the platform to resets the system. It can be used
1394in any specific use-case where system needs to be resetted. For example,
1395in case of DRTM implementation this function reset the system after
1396writing the DRTM error code in the non-volatile storage. This function
1397never returns. Failure in reset results in panic.
1398
1399Function : plat_get_bl_image_load_info()
1400~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1401
1402::
1403
1404    Argument : void
1405    Return   : bl_load_info_t *
1406
1407This function returns pointer to the list of images that the platform has
1408populated to load. This function is invoked in BL2 to load the
1409BL3xx images.
1410
1411Function : plat_get_next_bl_params()
1412~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1413
1414::
1415
1416    Argument : void
1417    Return   : bl_params_t *
1418
1419This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the platform has
1420kept aside to pass TF-A related information that next BL image needs. This
1421function is invoked in BL2 to pass this information to the next BL
1422image.
1423
1424Function : plat_get_stack_protector_canary()
1425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1426
1427::
1428
1429    Argument : void
1430    Return   : u_register_t
1431
1432This function returns a random value that is used to initialize the canary used
1433when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable
1434value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right
1435value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a
1436true random number.
1437
1438.. warning::
1439   For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at
1440   a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an
1441   attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack.
1442
1443Function : plat_flush_next_bl_params()
1444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1445
1446::
1447
1448    Argument : void
1449    Return   : void
1450
1451This function flushes to main memory all the image params that are passed to
1452next image. This function is invoked in BL2 to flush this information
1453to the next BL image.
1454
1455Function : plat_log_get_prefix()
1456~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1457
1458::
1459
1460    Argument : unsigned int
1461    Return   : const char *
1462
1463This function defines the prefix string corresponding to the `log_level` to be
1464prepended to all the log output from TF-A. The `log_level` (argument) will
1465correspond to one of the standard log levels defined in debug.h. The platform
1466can override the common implementation to define a different prefix string for
1467the log output. The implementation should be robust to future changes that
1468increase the number of log levels.
1469
1470Function : plat_get_soc_version()
1471~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1472
1473::
1474
1475    Argument : void
1476    Return   : int32_t
1477
1478This function returns soc version which mainly consist of below fields
1479
1480::
1481
1482    soc_version[30:24] = JEP-106 continuation code for the SiP
1483    soc_version[23:16] = JEP-106 identification code with parity bit for the SiP
1484    soc_version[15:0]  = Implementation defined SoC ID
1485
1486Function : plat_get_soc_revision()
1487~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1488
1489::
1490
1491    Argument : void
1492    Return   : int32_t
1493
1494This function returns soc revision in below format
1495
1496::
1497
1498    soc_revision[0:30] = SOC revision of specific SOC
1499
1500Function : plat_is_smccc_feature_available()
1501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1502
1503::
1504
1505    Argument : u_register_t
1506    Return   : int32_t
1507
1508This function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS if the platform supports
1509the SMCCC function specified in the argument; otherwise returns
1510SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED.
1511
1512Function : plat_mboot_measure_image()
1513~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1514
1515::
1516
1517    Argument : unsigned int, image_info_t *
1518    Return   : int
1519
1520When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1521
1522-  This function measures the given image and records its measurement using
1523   the measured boot backend driver.
1524-  On the Arm FVP port, this function measures the given image using its
1525   passed id and information and then records that measurement in the
1526   Event Log buffer.
1527-  This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
1528   otherwise.
1529
1530When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1531
1532Function : plat_mboot_measure_critical_data()
1533~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1534
1535::
1536
1537    Argument : unsigned int, const void *, size_t
1538    Return   : int
1539
1540When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1541
1542-  This function measures the given critical data structure and records its
1543   measurement using the measured boot backend driver.
1544-  This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
1545   otherwise.
1546
1547When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1548
1549Function : plat_can_cmo()
1550~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1551
1552::
1553
1554    Argument : void
1555    Return   : uint64_t
1556
1557When CONDITIONAL_CMO flag is enabled:
1558
1559- This function indicates whether cache management operations should be
1560  performed. It returns 0 if CMOs should be skipped and non-zero
1561  otherwise.
1562- The function must not clobber x1, x2 and x3. It's also not safe to rely on
1563  stack. Otherwise obey AAPCS.
1564
1565Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage
1566---------------------------------------------
1567
1568Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1569-------------------------
1570
1571BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1572warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1573
1574#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1575
1576#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1577   only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1578   control to the BL2 stage.
1579
1580#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1581
1582#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1583   address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1584
1585#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1586   accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1587
1588   ::
1589
1590       meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2
1591       meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2
1592
1593   By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure
1594   memory visible to BL2.
1595
1596   It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1597   ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1598   BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1599   ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
1600
1601The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
1602BL1 to perform the above tasks.
1603
1604Function : bl1_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1605~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1606
1607::
1608
1609    Argument : void
1610    Return   : void
1611
1612This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1613by the primary CPU.
1614
1615On Arm standard platforms, this function:
1616
1617-  Enables a secure instance of SP805 to act as the Trusted Watchdog.
1618
1619-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1620   family of functions in BL1.
1621
1622-  Enables issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to
1623   the CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the
1624   primary CPU.
1625
1626Function : bl1_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1627~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1628
1629::
1630
1631    Argument : void
1632    Return   : void
1633
1634This function performs any platform-specific and architectural setup that the
1635platform requires. Platform-specific setup might include configuration of
1636memory controllers and the interconnect.
1637
1638In Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1639
1640This function helps fulfill requirement 2 above.
1641
1642Function : bl1_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1643~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1644
1645::
1646
1647    Argument : void
1648    Return   : void
1649
1650This function executes with the MMU and data caches enabled. It is responsible
1651for performing any remaining platform-specific setup that can occur after the
1652MMU and data cache have been enabled.
1653
1654if support for multiple boot sources is required, it initializes the boot
1655sequence used by plat_try_next_boot_source().
1656
1657In Arm standard platforms, this function initializes the storage abstraction
1658layer used to load the next bootloader image.
1659
1660This function helps fulfill requirement 4 above.
1661
1662Function : bl1_plat_sec_mem_layout() [mandatory]
1663~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1664
1665::
1666
1667    Argument : void
1668    Return   : meminfo *
1669
1670This function should only be called on the cold boot path. It executes with the
1671MMU and data caches enabled. The pointer returned by this function must point to
1672a ``meminfo`` structure containing the extents and availability of secure RAM for
1673the BL1 stage.
1674
1675::
1676
1677    meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL1
1678    meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL1
1679
1680This information is used by BL1 to load the BL2 image in secure RAM. BL1 also
1681populates a similar structure to tell BL2 the extents of memory available for
1682its own use.
1683
1684This function helps fulfill requirements 4 and 5 above.
1685
1686Function : bl1_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
1687~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1688
1689::
1690
1691    Argument : entry_point_info_t *
1692    Return   : void
1693
1694This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
1695``BL1_SMC_RUN_IMAGE`` SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
1696platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring
1697control to the next image. It receives the address of the ``entry_point_info_t``
1698structure passed from BL2. This function runs with MMU disabled.
1699
1700Function : bl1_plat_set_ep_info() [optional]
1701~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1702
1703::
1704
1705    Argument : unsigned int image_id, entry_point_info_t *ep_info
1706    Return   : void
1707
1708This function allows platforms to override ``ep_info`` for the given ``image_id``.
1709
1710The default implementation just returns.
1711
1712Function : bl1_plat_get_next_image_id() [optional]
1713~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1714
1715::
1716
1717    Argument : void
1718    Return   : unsigned int
1719
1720This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1721
1722BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1723loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1724with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1725returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1726
1727The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
1728platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and
1729if so, return the first image in the firmware update process.
1730
1731Function : bl1_plat_get_image_desc() [optional]
1732~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1733
1734::
1735
1736    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1737    Return   : image_desc_t *
1738
1739BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t``
1740for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform.
1741
1742The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm
1743standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of
1744the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
1745specification.
1746
1747Function : bl1_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1748~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1749
1750::
1751
1752    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1753    Return   : int
1754
1755This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1756corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1757boot and FWU code path, before loading the image.
1758
1759Function : bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1760~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1761
1762::
1763
1764    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1765    Return   : int
1766
1767This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1768corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1769boot and FWU code path, after loading and authenticating the image.
1770
1771The default weak implementation of this function calculates the amount of
1772Trusted SRAM that can be used by BL2 and allocates a ``meminfo_t``
1773structure at the beginning of this free memory and populates it. The address
1774of ``meminfo_t`` structure is updated in ``arg1`` of the entrypoint
1775information to BL2.
1776
1777Function : bl1_plat_fwu_done() [optional]
1778~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1779
1780::
1781
1782    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t image_src,
1783               unsigned int image_size
1784    Return   : void
1785
1786BL1 calls this function when the FWU process is complete. It must not return.
1787The platform may override this function to take platform specific action, for
1788example to initiate the normal boot flow.
1789
1790The default implementation spins forever.
1791
1792Function : bl1_plat_mem_check() [mandatory]
1793~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1794
1795::
1796
1797    Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
1798               unsigned int flags
1799    Return   : int
1800
1801BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1802copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1803region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1804that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1805indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1806
1807This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1808``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1809overflow.
1810
1811This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1812
1813The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1814override it when using the FWU feature.
1815
1816Function : bl1_plat_mboot_init() [optional]
1817~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1818
1819::
1820
1821    Argument : void
1822    Return   : void
1823
1824When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1825
1826-  This function is used to initialize the backend driver(s) of measured boot.
1827-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to initialize the Event Log
1828   backend driver, and also to write header information in the Event Log buffer.
1829
1830When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1831
1832Function : bl1_plat_mboot_finish() [optional]
1833~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1834
1835::
1836
1837    Argument : void
1838    Return   : void
1839
1840When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1841
1842-  This function is used to finalize the measured boot backend driver(s),
1843   and also, set the information for the next bootloader component to
1844   extend the measurement if needed.
1845-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to pass the base address of
1846   the Event Log buffer and its size to BL2 via tb_fw_config to extend the
1847   Event Log buffer with the measurement of various images loaded by BL2.
1848   It results in panic on error.
1849
1850When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1851
1852Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2)
1853-------------------------
1854
1855The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1856using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
1857``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1858``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1859non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1860then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1861images to be passed to the next BL image.
1862
1863The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2
1864to perform the above tasks.
1865
1866Function : bl2_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
1867~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1868
1869::
1870
1871    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
1872    Return   : void
1873
1874This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1875by the primary CPU. The 4 arguments are passed by BL1 to BL2 and these arguments
1876are platform specific.
1877
1878On Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
1879
1880    arg0 - Points to load address of FW_CONFIG
1881
1882    arg1 - ``meminfo`` structure populated by BL1. The platform copies
1883    the contents of ``meminfo`` as it may be subsequently overwritten by BL2.
1884
1885On Arm standard platforms, this function also:
1886
1887-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1888   family of functions in BL2.
1889
1890-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
1891   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
1892   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
1893
1894Function : bl2_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1895~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1896
1897::
1898
1899    Argument : void
1900    Return   : void
1901
1902This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1903by the primary CPU.
1904
1905The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
1906that varies across platforms.
1907
1908On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1909
1910Function : bl2_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1911~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1912
1913::
1914
1915    Argument : void
1916    Return   : void
1917
1918This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
1919port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
1920called by the primary CPU.
1921
1922The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
1923specific to BL2.
1924
1925In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
1926configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
1927to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
1928
1929Function : bl2_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1930~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1931
1932::
1933
1934    Argument : unsigned int
1935    Return   : int
1936
1937This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1938for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 before
1939loading each image.
1940
1941Function : bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1942~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1943
1944::
1945
1946    Argument : unsigned int
1947    Return   : int
1948
1949This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1950for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 after
1951loading each image.
1952
1953Function : bl2_plat_preload_setup [optional]
1954~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1955
1956::
1957
1958    Argument : void
1959    Return   : void
1960
1961This optional function performs any BL2 platform initialization
1962required before image loading, that is not done later in
1963bl2_platform_setup(). Specifically, if support for multiple
1964boot sources is required, it initializes the boot sequence used by
1965plat_try_next_boot_source().
1966
1967Function : plat_try_next_boot_source() [optional]
1968~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1969
1970::
1971
1972    Argument : void
1973    Return   : int
1974
1975This optional function passes to the next boot source in the redundancy
1976sequence.
1977
1978This function moves the current boot redundancy source to the next
1979element in the boot sequence. If there are no more boot sources then it
1980must return 0, otherwise it must return 1. The default implementation
1981of this always returns 0.
1982
1983Function : bl2_plat_mboot_init() [optional]
1984~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1985
1986::
1987
1988    Argument : void
1989    Return   : void
1990
1991When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1992
1993-  This function is used to initialize the backend driver(s) of measured boot.
1994-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to initialize the Event Log
1995   backend driver with the Event Log buffer information (base address and
1996   size) received from BL1. It results in panic on error.
1997
1998When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1999
2000Function : bl2_plat_mboot_finish() [optional]
2001~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2002
2003::
2004
2005    Argument : void
2006    Return   : void
2007
2008When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
2009
2010-  This function is used to finalize the measured boot backend driver(s),
2011   and also, set the information for the next bootloader component to extend
2012   the measurement if needed.
2013-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to pass the Event Log buffer
2014   information (base address and size) to non-secure(BL33) and trusted OS(BL32)
2015   via nt_fw and tos_fw config respectively. It results in panic on error.
2016
2017When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
2018
2019Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) at EL3
2020--------------------------------
2021
2022When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump
2023directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to
2024execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design`
2025document for more information.
2026
2027All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions
2028bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because
2029their work is done now by bl2_el3_early_platform_setup and
2030bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup. These functions should generally implement
2031the bl1_plat_xxx() and bl2_plat_xxx() functionality combined.
2032
2033
2034Function : bl2_el3_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2035~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2036
2037::
2038
2039	Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2040	Return   : void
2041
2042This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2043by the primary CPU. This function receives four parameters which can be used
2044by the platform to pass any needed information from the Boot ROM to BL2.
2045
2046On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2047
2048-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2049   family of functions in BL2.
2050
2051-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
2052   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
2053   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
2054
2055- Initializes the private variables that define the memory layout used.
2056
2057Function : bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2058~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2059
2060::
2061
2062	Argument : void
2063	Return   : void
2064
2065This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2066by the primary CPU.
2067
2068The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2069that varies across platforms.
2070
2071On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2072
2073Function : bl2_el3_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
2074~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2075
2076::
2077
2078	Argument : void
2079	Return   : void
2080
2081This function is called prior to exiting BL2 and run the next image.
2082It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping
2083operations before transferring control to the next image. This function
2084runs with MMU disabled.
2085
2086FWU Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2U)
2087------------------------------
2088
2089The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
2090process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
2091``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
2092
2093#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
2094   memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
2095   ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
2096   should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
2097   implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
2098   If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
2099
2100#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
2101   example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the
2102   normal world can access DDR memory.
2103
2104The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable
2105BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above.
2106
2107Function : bl2u_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2108~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2109
2110::
2111
2112    Argument : meminfo *mem_info, void *plat_info
2113    Return   : void
2114
2115This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2116called by the primary CPU. The arguments to this function is the address
2117of the ``meminfo`` structure and platform specific info provided by BL1.
2118
2119The platform may copy the contents of the ``mem_info`` and ``plat_info`` into
2120private storage as the original memory may be subsequently overwritten by BL2U.
2121
2122On Arm CSS platforms ``plat_info`` is interpreted as an ``image_info_t`` structure,
2123to extract SCP_BL2U image information, which is then copied into a private
2124variable.
2125
2126Function : bl2u_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2127~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2128
2129::
2130
2131    Argument : void
2132    Return   : void
2133
2134This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2135called by the primary CPU.
2136
2137The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2138that varies across platforms, for example enabling the MMU (since the memory
2139map differs across platforms).
2140
2141Function : bl2u_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2142~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2143
2144::
2145
2146    Argument : void
2147    Return   : void
2148
2149This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2150port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2u_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2151called by the primary CPU.
2152
2153The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
2154specific to BL2U.
2155
2156In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
2157configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
2158to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
2159
2160Function : bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u() [optional]
2161~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2162
2163::
2164
2165    Argument : void
2166    Return   : int
2167
2168This function is used to perform any platform-specific actions required to
2169handle the SCP firmware. Typically it transfers the image into SCP memory using
2170a platform-specific protocol and waits until SCP executes it and signals to the
2171Application Processor (AP) for BL2U execution to continue.
2172
2173This function returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
2174This function is included if SCP_BL2U_BASE is defined.
2175
2176Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
2177----------------------------
2178
2179During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
2180determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
2181control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
2182CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
2183
2184#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
2185   some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
2186   that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
2187   should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
2188
2189#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2190   specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list
2191   populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2192
2193#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a
2194   subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime
2195   service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI
2196   implementation.
2197
2198#. Optionally passing control to the BL32 image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2199   specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
2200   services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
2201   executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the
2202   ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2203
2204If BL31 is a reset vector, It also needs to handle the reset as specified in
2205section 2.2 before the tasks described above.
2206
2207The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL31
2208to perform the above tasks.
2209
2210Function : bl31_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
2211~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2212
2213::
2214
2215    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2216    Return   : void
2217
2218This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2219by the primary CPU. BL2 can pass 4 arguments to BL31 and these arguments are
2220platform specific.
2221
2222In Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
2223
2224    arg0 - The pointer to the head of `bl_params_t` list
2225    which is list of executable images following BL31,
2226
2227    arg1 - Points to load address of SOC_FW_CONFIG if present
2228           except in case of Arm FVP and Juno platform.
2229
2230           In case of Arm FVP and Juno platform, points to load address
2231           of FW_CONFIG.
2232
2233    arg2 - Points to load address of HW_CONFIG if present
2234
2235    arg3 - A special value to verify platform parameters from BL2 to BL31. Not
2236    used in release builds.
2237
2238The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point
2239information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following:
2240
2241-  Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2242   family of functions in BL31.
2243
2244-  Enable issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to the
2245   CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the primary
2246   CPU.
2247

2252
2253    Argument : void
2254    Return   : void
2255
2256This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2257by the primary CPU.
2258
2259The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2260that varies across platforms.
2261
2262On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2263
2264Function : bl31_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2265~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2266
2267::
2268
2269    Argument : void
2270    Return   : void
2271
2272This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2273port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2274called by the primary CPU.
2275
2276The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both
2277BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly.
2278
2279On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2280
2281-  Initialize the generic interrupt controller.
2282
2283   Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2
2284   or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of:
2285
2286   -  Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2287   -  Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2288   -  Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2289      to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2290   -  Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2291   -  Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.
2292   -  Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2293   -  Configure all other interrupts as non-secure.
2294   -  Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2295
2296-  Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the
2297   memory mapped interface.
2298
2299-  Grant access to the system counter timer module
2300
2301-  Initialize the power controller device.
2302
2303   In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the
2304   power controller device.
2305
2306Function : bl31_plat_runtime_setup() [optional]
2307~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2308
2309::
2310
2311    Argument : void
2312    Return   : void
2313
2314The purpose of this function is allow the platform to perform any BL31 runtime
2315setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot. The default weak
2316implementation of this function will invoke ``console_switch_state()`` to switch
2317console output to consoles marked for use in the ``runtime`` state.
2318
2319Function : bl31_plat_get_next_image_ep_info() [mandatory]
2320~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2325    Return   : entry_point_info *
2326
2327This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2328port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``.
2329
2330This function is called by ``bl31_main()`` to retrieve information provided by
2331BL2 for the next image in the security state specified by the argument. BL31
2332uses this information to pass control to that image in the specified security
2333state. This function must return a pointer to the ``entry_point_info`` structure
2334(that was copied during ``bl31_early_platform_setup()``) if the image exists. It
2335should return NULL otherwise.
2336
2337Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_attest_token() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2338~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2339
2340::
2341
2342    Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, uintptr_t, size_t
2343    Return   : int
2344
2345This function returns the Platform attestation token.
2346
2347The parameters of the function are:
2348
2349    arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the Platform token should be copied by
2350           this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the Platform
2351           token.
2352
2353    arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The
2354           function returns the platform token length in this parameter.

2359           48 and 64.
2360
2361The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure.
2362
2363Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_realm_attest_key() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2364~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2365
2366::
2367
2368    Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, unsigned int
2369    Return   : int
2370
2371This function returns the delegated realm attestation key which will be used to
2372sign Realm attestation token. The API currently only supports P-384 ECC curve
2373key.
2374
2375The parameters of the function are:
2376
2377    arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the attestation key should be copied
2378           by this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the
2379           attestation key.
2380
2381    arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The
2382           function returns the attestation key length in this parameter.
2383
2384    arg2 - The type of the elliptic curve to which the requested attestation key
2385           belongs.
2386
2387The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure.
2388
2389Function : plat_rmmd_get_el3_rmm_shared_mem() [when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2390~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2391
2392::
2393
2394   Argument : uintptr_t *
2395   Return   : size_t
2396
2397This function returns the size of the shared area between EL3 and RMM (or 0 on
2398failure). A pointer to the shared area (or a NULL pointer on failure) is stored
2399in the pointer passed as argument.
2400
2401Function : plat_rmmd_load_manifest() [when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2402~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2403
2404::
2405
2406    Arguments : rmm_manifest_t *manifest
2407    Return    : int
2408
2409When ENABLE_RME is enabled, this function populates a boot manifest for the
2410RMM image and stores it in the area specified by manifest.
2411
2412When ENABLE_RME is disabled, this function is not used.
2413
2414Function : bl31_plat_enable_mmu [optional]
2415~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2416
2417::
2418
2419    Argument : uint32_t
2420    Return   : void
2421
2422This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and
2423caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable
2424translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled.
2425
2426The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are
2427defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file
2428``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``.
2429
2430On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which
2431is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented.
2432
2433Function : plat_init_apkey [optional]
2434~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2435
2436::
2437
2438    Argument : void
2439    Return   : uint128_t
2440
2441This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3
2442pointer authentication keys.
2443
2444The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness.
2445
2446This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the
2447Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to non-zero.
2448
2449Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory]
2450~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2451
2452::
2453
2454    Argument : void
2455    Return   : unsigned int
2456
2457This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter
2458frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the
2459``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency
2460of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency
2461modes table.
2462
2463#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional]
2464~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2465
2466When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2467bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2468accommodate all the bakery locks.
2469
2470If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2471calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2472nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2473and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2474from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2475accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2476
2477If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2478calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2479assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2480line boundary.

2482.. _porting_guide_sdei_requirements:
2483
2484SDEI porting requirements
2485~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2486
2487The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2488and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2489
2490Macros
2491......
2492
2493Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2494^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2495
2496This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2497Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2498(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2499
2500Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2501^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2502
2503This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2504Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2505(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2506
2507**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2508priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2509be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2510
2511Functions
2512.........
2513
2514Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2515^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2516
2517::
2518
2519  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2520  Return: int
2521
2522This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2523the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2524The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2525
2526The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2527can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2528
2529The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2530
2531The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2532translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2533further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2534DRAM.
2535
2536Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2537^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2538
2539::
2540
2541  Argument: uint64_t
2542  Argument: unsigned int
2543  Return: void
2544
2545|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2546masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2547|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2548time.
2549
2550Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2551events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2552``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2553interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2554
2555The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2556
2557.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2558
2559TRNG porting requirements
2560~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2561
2562The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2563and mandatory functions.
2564
2565Values
2566......
2567
2568value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2569^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2570
2571This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2572the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2573conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2574UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2575w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2576
2577Functions
2578.........
2579
2580Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2581^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2582
2583::
2584
2585  Argument: none
2586  Return: none
2587
2588This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2589hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2590
2591Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2592^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2593
2594::
2595
2596  Argument: uint64_t *
2597  Return: bool
2598  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2599  storage pointed to
2600
2601This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2602is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.
2603
2604.. _psci_in_bl31:
2605
2606Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2607--------------------------------------------
2608
2609The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2610*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2611share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2612specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2613a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2614*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2615*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2616is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2617example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2618logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2619CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2620example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2621organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2622
2623BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2624power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2625correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2626PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2627power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2628CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2629handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2630
2631The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2632describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2633defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2634array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2635level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2636level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2637convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2638passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2639
2640The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2641
2642Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2643~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2644
2645::
2646
2647    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2648    Return   : void
2649
2650This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2651accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2652``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2653differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2654index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2655state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2656residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2657statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2658default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2659
2660Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2661~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2662
2663::
2664
2665    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2666    Return   : void
2667
2668This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2669accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2670of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2671differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2672index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2673state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2674residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2675statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2676default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2677
2678Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2679~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2680
2681::
2682
2683    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2684    Return   : u_register_t
2685
2686This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2687state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2688domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2689all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2690invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2691identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2692argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2693The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2694power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2695CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2696for that power domain.
2697
2698Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]

2703    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2704    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2705
2706The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2707state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2708a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2709argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2710power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2711is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2712a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2713states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2714power states.
2715
2716A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2717that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2718of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2719then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2720coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2721of the requested local power state values.

2725
2726::
2727
2728    Argument : void
2729    Return   : const unsigned char *
2730
2731This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2732topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2733described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2734initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2735statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2736the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2737plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2738description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2739form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
2740
2741Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
2742~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2743
2744::
2745
2746    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
2747    Return   : int
2748
2749This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2750port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2751called by the primary CPU.
2752
2753This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2754the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2755``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2756platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2757pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2758
2759A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
2760the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
2761``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
2762platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2763structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
2764:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
2765function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
2766structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
2767
2768plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
2769...........................
2770
2771Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
2772indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
2773wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
2774For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
2775the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
2776STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
2777handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
2778issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
2779state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2780
2781plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
2782.............................
2783
2784Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
2785by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
2786return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
2787
2788plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional]
2789...............................................
2790
2791This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
2792powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
2793indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
2794
2795The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
2796for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
2797
2798For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
2799power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
2800for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
2801coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
2802platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.
2803
2804plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
2805..............................
2806
2807Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
2808and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
2809(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
2810
2811The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
2812for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
2813needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
2814at each power level.
2815
2816For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
2817power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
2818for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
2819coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2820
2821plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
2822...........................................................
2823
2824This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
2825or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
2826are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
2827calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
2828that data caches are enabled.
2829
2830When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
2831before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
2832power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
2833specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
2834efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
2835= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
2836moving platform specific actions to this function.
2837
2838plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
2839..................................
2840
2841Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
2842CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
2843``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2844API implementation.
2845
2846The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
2847the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
2848target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
2849power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
2850corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
2851expects the handler to succeed.
2852
2853The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
2854in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
2855when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
2856case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
2857execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
2858``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
2859
2860When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
2861Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
2862this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
2863implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
2864sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
2865the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
2866Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
2867Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
2868is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
2869defined sequence.
2870
2871When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
2872``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
2873it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
2874system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
2875allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
2876data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
2877implementation-defined sequence.
2878
2879If the build option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, the generic code expects
2880the platform to return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
2881PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
2882
2883plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()
2884.......................................
2885
2886This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
2887platform specific actions including the ``wfi`` invocation which allows the
2888CPU to powerdown. Since this function is invoked outside the PSCI locks,
2889the actions performed in this hook must be local to the CPU or the platform
2890must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot occur.
2891
2892The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
2893operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
2894the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. This function must
2895not return back to the caller (by calling wfi in an infinite loop to ensure
2896some CPUs power down mitigations work properly).
2897
2898If this function is not implemented by the platform, PSCI generic
2899implementation invokes ``psci_power_down_wfi()`` for power down.
2900
2901plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
2902....................................
2903
2904This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
2905powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
2906It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
2907this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
2908services.
2909
2910The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
2911immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
2912above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
2913low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2914
2915plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
2916...........................................................
2917
2918This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
2919CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
2920the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
2921function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
2922such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
2923overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
2924
2925The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
2926operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2927
2928plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
2929.........................................
2930
2931This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
2932powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
2933event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
2934``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
2935setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
2936in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
2937
2938The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
2939the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
2940to succeed.
2941
2942If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
2943suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
2944to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
2945
2946plat_psci_ops.system_off()
2947..........................
2948
2949This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
2950call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
2951notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher.
2952
2953plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
2954............................
2955
2956This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
2957call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
2958notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher.
2959
2960plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
2961....................................
2962
2963This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2964call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
2965populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
2966specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
2967return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
2968normal world PSCI client.
2969
2970plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
2971......................................
2972
2973This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
2974``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
2975parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
2976the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
2977propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
2978
2979plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
2980...........................................
2981
2982This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
2983call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
2984domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
2985``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
2986``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
2987enter system suspend.
2988
2989plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
2990.....................................
2991
2992This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
2993implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
2994``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
2995``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
2996supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
2997``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
2998local power states.
2999
3000plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3001..............................................
3002
3003This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3004(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3005domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3006argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3007level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3008populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3009is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3010envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3011targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3012domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3013function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3014``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3015
3016This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3017power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3018APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3019
3020plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3021.................................
3022
3023This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3024the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3025the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3026as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3027Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3028status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3029must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3030appropriate.
3031
3032Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3033``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3034
3035plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3036.............................
3037
3038This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3039called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3040based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3041`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3042reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3043function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3044resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3045and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3046in `PSCI`_. On success this function will not return.
3047
3048plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3049.................................
3050
3051This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3052``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3053A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3054disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3055and on success it must return 0.
3056
3057plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3058................................
3059
3060This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3061state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3062failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3063return 0.
3064
3065plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3066...............................
3067
3068This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3069region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3070bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3071then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3074
3075Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3076----------------------------------------
3077
3078BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3079generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3080state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3081described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3082
3083A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3084text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3085platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3086present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3087`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3088and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3089FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3090``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3091details).
3092
3093See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3094
3095Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3096~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3097
3098::
3099
3100    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3101    Return   : uint32_t
3102
3103The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3104interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3105controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3106either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3107the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3108from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3109
3110The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3111:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3112interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3113execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3114register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3115
3116In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3117configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3118state.
3119
3120In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3121configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3122interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3123
3124-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3125   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3126-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3127   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3128-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3129   context.
3130
3131Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3132~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3133
3134::
3135
3136    Argument : void
3137    Return   : uint32_t
3138
3139This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3140platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3141handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3142pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3143``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3144
3145In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3146Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3147the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3148follows.
3149
3150#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3151#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3152#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3153
3154In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3155``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3156is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3157depends upon the id value as follows.
3158

3167::
3168
3169    Argument : void
3170    Return   : uint32_t
3171
3172This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3173platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3174pending.
3175
3176In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3177Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3178pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3179the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3180
3181#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3182#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3183   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3184   This id is returned by the API.
3185#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3186
3187In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3188EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3189group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3190that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3191interrupt controller as follows.
3192
3193#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3194#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3195   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3196   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3197   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3198#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3199   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3200
3201When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3202register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3203Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3204``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.

3208
3209::
3210
3211    Argument : void
3212    Return   : uint32_t
3213
3214This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3215the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3216value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3217The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3218`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3219
3220This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3221Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3222priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3223It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3224
3225In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3226from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3227Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3228reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3229group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3230pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3231unmodified.
3232
3233The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3234interrupt.

3236Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3238
3239::
3240
3241    Argument : uint32_t
3242    Return   : void
3243
3244This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3245the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3246finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3247``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3248
3249Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3250(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3251system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3252EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3253controller.
3254
3255The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3256interrupt.

3260
3261::
3262
3263    Argument : uint32_t
3264    Return   : uint32_t
3265
3266This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3267``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3268interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3269returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3270IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3271
3272Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3273and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3274corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3275(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3276
3277In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3278Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3279(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3280as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.

3318el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3319
3320Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3321-----------------------------------
3322
3323BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3324of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3325on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3326``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3327
3328The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3329implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3330makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3331output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3332consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3333used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3334
3335.. note::
3336   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3337   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3338   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3339   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3340
3341In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3342normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3343more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3344these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3345console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3346that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3347for an example of this.

3386.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3387
3388External Abort handling and RAS Support
3389---------------------------------------
3390
3391Function : plat_ea_handler
3392~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3393
3394::
3395
3396    Argument : int
3397    Argument : uint64_t
3398    Argument : void *
3399    Argument : void *
3400    Argument : uint64_t
3401    Return   : void
3402
3403This function is invoked by the RAS framework for the platform to handle an
3404External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the function is to attempt to
3405resolve the cause of External Abort and return; if that's not possible, to
3406initiate orderly shutdown of the system.
3407
3408The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3409Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3410
3411The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3412presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3413nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3414can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3415
3416The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3417(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3418(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3419are received from the top-level exception handler.
3420
3421If ``RAS_FFH_SUPPORT`` is set to ``1``, the default implementation of this
3422function iterates through RAS handlers registered by the platform. If any of the
3423RAS handlers resolve the External Abort, no further action is taken.
3424
3425If ``RAS_FFH_SUPPORT`` is set to ``0``, or if none of the platform RAS handlers
3426could resolve the External Abort, the default implementation prints an error
3427message, and panics.

3432::
3433
3434    Argument : int
3435    Argument : uint64_t
3436    Return   : void
3437
3438This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3439Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3440Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3441shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3442
3443This function must be implemented in assembly.
3444
3445The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3446
3447The default implementation of this function calls
3448``report_unhandled_exception``.

3455    Argument : int
3456    Argument : uint64_t
3457    Return   : void
3458
3459This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3460received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3461``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3462this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3463recover or return.
3464
3465This function must be implemented in assembly.
3466
3467The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3468
3469The default implementation of this function calls
3470``report_unhandled_exception``.

3472Function : plat_handle_el3_ea
3473~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3474
3475::
3476
3477    Return   : void
3478
3479This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in
3480EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate
3481orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3482
3483This function must be implemented in assembly.
3484
3485The default implementation of this function calls
3486``report_unhandled_exception``.
3487
3488Function : plat_handle_rng_trap
3489~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3490
3491::
3492
3493    Argument : uint64_t
3494    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3495    Return   : int
3496
3497This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3498system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3499platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3500emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3501
3502The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3503syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3504information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3505
3506The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3507lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3508was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3509register.
3510
3511The return value indicates how to proceed:
3512
3513-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3514-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3515   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3516-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3517   to the next instruction.
3518
3519This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3520
3521Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap
3522~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3523
3524::
3525
3526    Argument : uint64_t
3527    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3528    Return   : int
3529
3530This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3531system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers.
3532It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3533registers choosing to program bits of their choice.
3534
3535The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3536syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3537
3538The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3539lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3540was trapped.
3541
3542The return value indicates how to proceed:
3543
3544-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3545-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3546   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3547-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3548   to the next instruction.
3549
3550This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables
3551IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP.
3552
3553Build flags
3554-----------
3555
3556There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3557inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3558need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3559build system.
3560
3561-  **NEED_BL33**
3562   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3563   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3564   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3565   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3566   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3567
3568Platform include paths
3569----------------------
3570
3571Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3572The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3573particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3574
3575Example:
3576
3577.. code:: c
3578
3579  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3580
3581C Library
3582---------
3583
3584To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3585by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3586to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3587required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3588contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3589more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3590added to the local implementation.
3591
3592Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3593been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3594from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3595files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3596
3597SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3598can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3599
3600Storage abstraction layer
3601-------------------------
3602
3603In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3604layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3605storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3606``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3607
3608.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3609
3610It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3611development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3612the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3613The storage layer is described in the header file
3614``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3615in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3616``drivers/io/``.
3617
3618.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3619
3620Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3621``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3622function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3623implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3624
3625Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3626abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3627phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3628
3629.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3630
3631The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3632initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3633
3634.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3635
3636The basic operations supported by the layer
3637include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3638Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3639provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3640operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3641
3642The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3643firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3644``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3645there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3646to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3647to allow access to the image data.
3648
3649The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3650other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3651physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3652drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3653be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3654
3655The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3656by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3657dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3658amount of open resources per driver.
