1Porting Guide 2============= 3 4Introduction 5------------ 6 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** 196 197 Defines the base address in secure ROM where BL1 originally lives. Must be 198 aligned on a page-size boundary. 199 200- **#define : BL1_RO_LIMIT** 201 202 Defines the maximum address in secure ROM that BL1's actual content (i.e. 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** 211 212 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'. 231 232- **#define : BL2_RO_LIMIT** 233 234 Defines the maximum address in secure XIP memory that BL2's actual content 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. 254 255- **#define : BL31_LIMIT** 256 257 Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31 image can occupy. 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. 275 276- **#define : BL31_IMAGE_ID** 277 278 BL31 image identifier, used by BL2 to load BL31. 279 280- **#define : BL33_IMAGE_ID** 281 282 BL33 image identifier, used by BL2 to load BL33. 283 284If Trusted Board Boot is enabled, the following certificate identifiers must 285also be defined: 286 287- **#define : TRUSTED_BOOT_FW_CERT_ID** 288 289 BL2 content certificate identifier, used by BL1 to load the BL2 content 290 certificate. 291 292- **#define : TRUSTED_KEY_CERT_ID** 293 294 Trusted key certificate identifier, used by BL2 to load the trusted key 295 certificate. 296 297- **#define : SOC_FW_KEY_CERT_ID** 298 299 BL31 key certificate identifier, used by BL2 to load the BL31 key 300 certificate. 301 302- **#define : SOC_FW_CONTENT_CERT_ID** 303 304 BL31 content certificate identifier, used by BL2 to load the BL31 content 305 certificate. 306 307- **#define : NON_TRUSTED_FW_KEY_CERT_ID** 308 309 BL33 key certificate identifier, used by BL2 to load the BL33 key 310 certificate. 311 312- **#define : NON_TRUSTED_FW_CONTENT_CERT_ID** 313 314 BL33 content certificate identifier, used by BL2 to load the BL33 content 315 certificate. 316 317- **#define : FWU_CERT_ID** 318 319 Firmware Update (FWU) certificate identifier, used by NS_BL1U to load the 320 FWU content certificate. 321 322If the AP Firmware Updater Configuration image, BL2U is used, the following 323must also be defined: 324 325- **#define : BL2U_BASE** 326 327 Defines the base address in secure memory where BL1 copies the BL2U binary 328 image. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. 329 330- **#define : BL2U_LIMIT** 331 332 Defines the maximum address in secure memory that the BL2U image can occupy. 333 334- **#define : BL2U_IMAGE_ID** 335 336 BL2U image identifier, used by BL1 to fetch an image descriptor 337 corresponding to BL2U. 338 339If the SCP Firmware Update Configuration Image, SCP_BL2U is used, the following 340must also be defined: 341 342- **#define : SCP_BL2U_IMAGE_ID** 343 344 SCP_BL2U image identifier, used by BL1 to fetch an image descriptor 345 corresponding to SCP_BL2U. 346 347 .. note:: 348 TF-A does not provide source code for this image. 349 350If the Non-Secure Firmware Updater ROM, NS_BL1U is used, the following must 351also be defined: 352 353- **#define : NS_BL1U_BASE** 354 355 Defines the base address in non-secure ROM where NS_BL1U executes. 356 Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. 357 358 .. note:: 359 TF-A does not provide source code for this image. 360 361- **#define : NS_BL1U_IMAGE_ID** 362 363 NS_BL1U image identifier, used by BL1 to fetch an image descriptor 364 corresponding to NS_BL1U. 365 366If the Non-Secure Firmware Updater, NS_BL2U is used, the following must also 367be defined: 368 369- **#define : NS_BL2U_BASE** 370 371 Defines the base address in non-secure memory where NS_BL2U executes. 372 Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. 373 374 .. note:: 375 TF-A does not provide source code for this image. 376 377- **#define : NS_BL2U_IMAGE_ID** 378 379 NS_BL2U image identifier, used by BL1 to fetch an image descriptor 380 corresponding to NS_BL2U. 381 382For the the Firmware update capability of TRUSTED BOARD BOOT, the following 383macros may also be defined: 384 385- **#define : PLAT_FWU_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_IMAGES** 386 387 Total number of images that can be loaded simultaneously.

Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. 429 430- **#define : BL32_LIMIT** 431 432 Defines the maximum address that the BL32 image can occupy. 433 434If the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) instantiation of BL32 is supported by the 435platform, the following constants must also be defined: 436 437- **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE** 438 439 Defines the base address of the secure memory used by the TSP image on the 440 platform. This must be at the same address or below ``BL32_BASE``. 441 442- **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE** 443 444 Defines the size of the secure memory used by the BL32 image on the 445 platform. ``TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE`` and ``TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE`` must fully 446 accommodate the memory required by the BL32 image, defined by ``BL32_BASE`` 447 and ``BL32_LIMIT``. 448 449- **#define : TSP_IRQ_SEC_PHY_TIMER** 450 451 Defines the ID of the secure physical generic timer interrupt used by the 452 TSP's interrupt handling code. 453 454If the platform port uses the translation table library code, the following 455constants must also be defined: 456 457- **#define : PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC** 458 459 Optional flag that can be set per-image to enable the dynamic allocation of 460 regions even when the MMU is enabled. If not defined, only static 461 functionality will be available, if defined and set to 1 it will also 462 include the dynamic functionality. 463 464- **#define : MAX_XLAT_TABLES** 465 466 Defines the maximum number of translation tables that are allocated by the 467 translation table library code. To minimize the amount of runtime memory 468 used, choose the smallest value needed to map the required virtual addresses 469 for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is enabled for a BL 470 image, ``MAX_XLAT_TABLES`` must be defined to accommodate the dynamic regions 471 as well. 472 473- **#define : MAX_MMAP_REGIONS** 474 475 Defines the maximum number of regions that are allocated by the translation 476 table library code. A region consists of physical base address, virtual base 477 address, size and attributes (Device/Memory, RO/RW, Secure/Non-Secure), as 478 defined in the ``mmap_region_t`` structure. The platform defines the regions 479 that should be mapped. Then, the translation table library will create the 480 corresponding tables and descriptors at runtime. To minimize the amount of 481 runtime memory used, choose the smallest value needed to register the 482 required regions for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is 483 enabled for a BL image, ``MAX_MMAP_REGIONS`` must be defined to accommodate 484 the dynamic regions as well. 485 486- **#define : PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE** 487 488 Defines the total size of the virtual address space in bytes. For example, 489 for a 32 bit virtual address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``. 490 491- **#define : PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE** 492 493 Defines the total size of the physical address space in bytes. For example, 494 for a 32 bit physical address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``. 495 496If the platform port uses the IO storage framework, the following constants 497must also be defined: 498 499- **#define : MAX_IO_DEVICES** 500 501 Defines the maximum number of registered IO devices. Attempting to register 502 more devices than this value using ``io_register_device()`` will fail with 503 -ENOMEM. 504 505- **#define : MAX_IO_HANDLES** 506 507 Defines the maximum number of open IO handles. Attempting to open more IO 508 entities than this value using ``io_open()`` will fail with -ENOMEM. 509 510- **#define : MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES** 511 512 Defines the maximum number of registered IO block devices. Attempting to 513 register more devices this value using ``io_dev_open()`` will fail 514 with -ENOMEM. MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be less than MAX_IO_DEVICES. 515 With this macro, multiple block devices could be supported at the same 516 time. 517 518If the platform needs to allocate data within the per-cpu data framework in 519BL31, it should define the following macro. Currently this is only required if 520the platform decides not to use the coherent memory section by undefining the 521``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` build flag. In this case, the framework allocates the 522required memory within the the per-cpu data to minimize wastage. 523 524- **#define : PLAT_PCPU_DATA_SIZE** 525 526 Defines the memory (in bytes) to be reserved within the per-cpu data 527 structure for use by the platform layer. 528 529The following constants are optional. They should be defined when the platform 530memory layout implies some image overlaying like in Arm standard platforms. 531 532- **#define : BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT** 533 534 Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31's progbits sections 535 can occupy. 536 537- **#define : TSP_PROGBITS_LIMIT** 538 539 Defines the maximum address that the TSP's progbits sections can occupy. 540 541If the platform supports OS-initiated mode, i.e. the build option 542``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, and if the platform's maximum power domain 543level for PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND differs from ``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``, the following 544constant must be defined. 545 546- **#define : PLAT_MAX_CPU_SUSPEND_PWR_LVL** 547 548 Defines the maximum power domain level that PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND should apply to. 549 550If the platform port uses the PL061 GPIO driver, the following constant may 551optionally be defined: 552 553- **PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS** 554 Maximum number of GPIOs required by the platform. This allows control how 555 much memory is allocated for PL061 GPIO controllers. The default value is 556 557 #. $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS)) 558 559If the platform port uses the partition driver, the following constant may 560optionally be defined: 561 562- **PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES** 563 Maximum number of partition entries required by the platform. This allows 564 control how much memory is allocated for partition entries. The default 565 value is 128. 566 For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``: 567 PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES := 12 568 $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES)) 569 570- **PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE** 571 The size of partition block. It could be either 512 bytes or 4096 bytes. 572 The default value is 512. 573 For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``: 574 PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE := 4096 575 $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE)) 576 577If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver, the following 578configuration must be performed: 579 580- The NPU SiP service handler must be hooked up. This consists of both the 581 initial setup (``ethosn_smc_setup``) and the handler itself 582 (``ethosn_smc_handler``) 583 584If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver with TZMP1 support 585enabled, the following constants and configuration must also be defined: 586 587- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_FW_NSAID** 588 589 Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use to 590 access the protected memory that contains the NPU's firmware. 591 592- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RW_NSAID** 593 594 Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for 595 read/write access to the protected memory that contains inference data. 596 597- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RO_NSAID** 598 599 Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for 600 read-only access to the protected memory that contains inference data. 601 602- **ETHOSN_NPU_NS_RW_DATA_NSAID** 603 604 Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for 605 read/write access to the non-protected memory. 606 607- **ETHOSN_NPU_NS_RO_DATA_NSAID** 608 609 Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for 610 read-only access to the non-protected memory. 611 612- **ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE** and **ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT** 613 614 Defines the physical address range that the NPU's firmware will be loaded 615 into and executed from. 616 617- Configure the platforms TrustZone Controller (TZC) with appropriate regions 618 of protected memory. At minimum this must include a region for the NPU's 619 firmware code and a region for protected inference data, and these must be 620 accessible using the NSAIDs defined above. 621 622- Include the NPU firmware and certificates in the FIP. 623 624- Provide FCONF entries to configure the image source for the NPU firmware 625 and certificates. 626 627- Add MMU mappings such that: 628 629 - BL2 can write the NPU firmware into the region defined by 630 ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE`` and ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT`` 631 - BL31 (SiP service) can read the NPU firmware from the same region 632 633- Add the firmware image ID ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_ID`` to the list of images 634 loaded by BL2. 635 636Please see the reference implementation code for the Juno platform as an example. 637 638 639The following constant is optional. It should be defined to override the default 640behaviour of the ``assert()`` function (for example, to save memory). 641 642- **PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT** 643 If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` is higher or equal than ``LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE``, 644 ``assert()`` prints the name of the file, the line number and the asserted 645 expression. Else if it is higher than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it prints the file 646 name and the line number. Else if it is lower than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it 647 doesn't print anything to the console. If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` isn't 648 defined, it defaults to ``LOG_LEVEL``. 649 650If the platform port uses the DRTM feature, the following constants must be 651defined: 652 653- **#define : PLAT_DRTM_EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE** 654 655 Maximum Event Log size used by the platform. Platform can decide the maximum 656 size of the Event Log buffer, depending upon the highest hash algorithm 657 chosen and the number of components selected to measure during the DRTM 658 execution flow. 659 660- **#define : PLAT_DRTM_MMAP_ENTRIES** 661 662 Number of the MMAP entries used by the DRTM implementation to calculate the 663 size of address map region of the platform. 664 665File : plat_macros.S [mandatory] 666~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 667 668Each platform must ensure a file of this name is in the system include path with 669the following macro defined. In the Arm development platforms, this file is 670found in ``plat/arm/board/<plat_name>/include/plat_macros.S``. 671 672- **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs** 673 674 This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform 675 registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging 676 and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not 677 desired. 678 679 For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for 680 troubleshooting. 681 682Handling Reset 683-------------- 684 685BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold 686or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the 687``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable. 688 689For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks: 690 691#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot. 692 693#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that 694 the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU 695 performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state. 696 697#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform- 698 specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was 699 when released from reset. 700 701The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable 702reset vector code to perform the above tasks. 703 704Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0] 705~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 706 707:: 708 709 Argument : void 710 Return : uintptr_t 711 712This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled 713(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for 714distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using 715platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm 716reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during 717BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero. 718 719This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the 720Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should 721not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this 722function. 723 724This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above. 725 726Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is 727expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address, 728both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the 729type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing 730this function is not required on such platforms. 731 732Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0] 733~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 734 735:: 736 737 Argument : void 738 739This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible 740for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the 741primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and 742allow entry into the OS. This function must not return. 743 744In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers 745itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs 746when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead, 747they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets 748populated. 749 750This function fulfills requirement 2 above. 751 752Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the 753primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this 754function is not required on such platforms. 755 756Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0] 757~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 758 759:: 760 761 Argument : void 762 Return : unsigned int 763 764This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a 765secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the 766primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the 767primary CPU. 768 769Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the 770primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to 771distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is 772not required. 773 774Function : platform_mem_init() [mandatory] 775~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 776 777:: 778 779 Argument : void 780 Return : void 781 782This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in 783order to carry out any essential memory initialization. 784 785Function: plat_get_rotpk_info() 786~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 787 788:: 789 790 Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int * 791 Return : int 792 793This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a 794pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length. 795The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1 796structure: 797 798:: 799 800 AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE { 801 algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER, 802 parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL 803 } 804 805 SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE { 806 algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier, 807 subjectPublicKey BIT STRING 808 } 809 810In case the function returns a hash of the key: 811 812:: 813 814 DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE { 815 digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier, 816 digest OCTET STRING 817 } 818 819The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the 820Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related 821to the ROTPK in the flags parameter: 822 823:: 824 825 ROTPK_IS_HASH : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a 826 hash. 827 ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK 828 verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed. 829 When this flag is set, the function does not need to 830 return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication 831 framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without 832 verifying it against the platform value. This flag 833 must not be used in a deployed production environment. 834 835Function: plat_get_nv_ctr() 836~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 837 838:: 839 840 Argument : void *, unsigned int * 841 Return : int 842 843This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the 844non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The 845cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the 846platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default 847TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in 848TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID). 849 850The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could 851not be retrieved from the platform. 852 853Function: plat_set_nv_ctr() 854~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 855 856:: 857 858 Argument : void *, unsigned int 859 Return : int 860 861This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new 862counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to 863select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is 864the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter. 865 866The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could 867not be updated. 868 869Function: plat_set_nv_ctr2() 870~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 871 872:: 873 874 Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int 875 Return : int 876 877This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this 878interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The 879first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to 880differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV 881Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image 882descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be 883updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to 884be written to the NV counter. 885 886The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value 887either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates 888that it is not allowed to be updated. 889 890Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement support (in BL31) 891------------------------------------------------------- 892 893The functions mentioned in this section are mandatory, when platform enables 894DRTM_SUPPORT build flag. 895 896Function : plat_get_addr_mmap() 897~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 898 899:: 900 901 Argument : void 902 Return : const mmap_region_t * 903 904This function is used to return the address of the platform *address-map* table, 905which describes the regions of normal memory, memory mapped I/O 906and non-volatile memory. 907 908Function : plat_has_non_host_platforms() 909~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 910 911:: 912 913 Argument : void 914 Return : bool 915 916This function returns *true* if the platform has any trusted devices capable of 917DMA, otherwise returns *false*. 918 919Function : plat_has_unmanaged_dma_peripherals() 920~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 921 922:: 923 924 Argument : void 925 Return : bool 926 927This function returns *true* if platform uses peripherals whose DMA is not 928managed by an SMMU, otherwise returns *false*. 929 930Note - 931If the platform has peripherals that are not managed by the SMMU, then the 932platform should investigate such peripherals to determine whether they can 933be trusted, and such peripherals should be moved under "Non-host platforms" 934if they can be trusted. 935 936Function : plat_get_total_num_smmus() 937~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 938 939:: 940 941 Argument : void 942 Return : unsigned int 943 944This function returns the total number of SMMUs in the platform. 945 946Function : plat_enumerate_smmus() 947~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 948:: 949 950 951 Argument : void 952 Return : const uintptr_t *, size_t 953 954This function returns an array of SMMU addresses and the actual number of SMMUs 955reported by the platform. 956 957Function : plat_drtm_get_dma_prot_features() 958~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 959 960:: 961 962 Argument : void 963 Return : const plat_drtm_dma_prot_features_t* 964 965This function returns the address of plat_drtm_dma_prot_features_t structure 966containing the maximum number of protected regions and bitmap with the types 967of DMA protection supported by the platform. 968For more details see section 3.3 Table 6 of `DRTM`_ specification. 969 970Function : plat_drtm_dma_prot_get_max_table_bytes() 971~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 972 973:: 974 975 Argument : void 976 Return : uint64_t 977 978This function returns the maximum size of DMA protected regions table in 979bytes. 980 981Function : plat_drtm_get_tpm_features() 982~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 983 984:: 985 986 Argument : void 987 Return : const plat_drtm_tpm_features_t* 988 989This function returns the address of *plat_drtm_tpm_features_t* structure 990containing PCR usage schema, TPM-based hash, and firmware hash algorithm 991supported by the platform. 992 993Function : plat_drtm_get_min_size_normal_world_dce() 994~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 995 996:: 997 998 Argument : void 999 Return : uint64_t 1000 1001This function returns the size normal-world DCE of the platform. 1002 1003Function : plat_drtm_get_imp_def_dlme_region_size() 1004~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1005 1006:: 1007 1008 Argument : void 1009 Return : uint64_t 1010 1011This function returns the size of implementation defined DLME region 1012of the platform. 1013 1014Function : plat_drtm_get_tcb_hash_table_size() 1015~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1016 1017:: 1018 1019 Argument : void 1020 Return : uint64_t 1021 1022This function returns the size of TCB hash table of the platform. 1023 1024Function : plat_drtm_get_tcb_hash_features() 1025~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1026 1027:: 1028 1029 Argument : void 1030 Return : uint64_t 1031 1032This function returns the Maximum number of TCB hashes recorded by the 1033platform. 1034For more details see section 3.3 Table 6 of `DRTM`_ specification. 1035 1036Function : plat_drtm_validate_ns_region() 1037~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1038 1039:: 1040 1041 Argument : uintptr_t, uintptr_t 1042 Return : int 1043 1044This function validates that given region is within the Non-Secure region 1045of DRAM. This function takes a region start address and size an input 1046arguments, and returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. 1047 1048Function : plat_set_drtm_error() 1049~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1050 1051:: 1052 1053 Argument : uint64_t 1054 Return : int 1055 1056This function writes a 64 bit error code received as input into 1057non-volatile storage and returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. 1058 1059Function : plat_get_drtm_error() 1060~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1061 1062:: 1063 1064 Argument : uint64_t* 1065 Return : int 1066 1067This function reads a 64 bit error code from the non-volatile storage 1068into the received address, and returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. 1069 1070Common mandatory function modifications 1071--------------------------------------- 1072 1073The following functions are mandatory functions which need to be implemented 1074by the platform port. 1075 1076Function : plat_my_core_pos() 1077~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1078 1079:: 1080 1081 Argument : void 1082 Return : unsigned int 1083 1084This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a 1085CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating 1086per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the 1087initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be 1088implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C 1089runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve 1090x9 - x29. 1091 1092This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in 1093PSCI and details of this can be found in 1094:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. 1095 1096Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() 1097~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1098 1099:: 1100 1101 Argument : u_register_t 1102 Return : int 1103 1104This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index, 1105which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In 1106case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only 1107be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can 1108utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A 1109represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU 1110index, please refer :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. 1111 1112Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1] 1113~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1114 1115:: 1116 1117 Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size 1118 Return : int 1119 1120This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap, 1121by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used 1122internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS 1123must be able to provide a heap to it. 1124 1125A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in 1126which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image 1127(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation, 1128the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap. 1129For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper 1130from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed. 1131 1132However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to 1133optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is 1134shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved 1135twice. 1136 1137On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise. 1138 1139Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1] 1140~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1141 1142:: 1143 1144 Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key, 1145 size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id, 1146 size_t img_id_len 1147 Return : int 1148 1149This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on 1150fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted 1151firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak 1152implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform 1153trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case. 1154 1155It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than 1156actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides 1157secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER`` 1158flag must be set in ``flags``. 1159 1160In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific 1161symmetric key/identifier using img_id. 1162 1163On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise. 1164 1165Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 1166 1167Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1] 1168~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1169 1170:: 1171 1172 Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata 1173 Return : void 1174 1175This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. 1176It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in 1177non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed 1178FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved 1179image specification information. 1180Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these 1181images rely on this function call. 1182 1183In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image, 1184container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images. 1185 1186Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1] 1187~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1188 1189:: 1190 1191 Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle, 1192 uintptr_t *image_spec 1193 Return : int 1194 1195This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is 1196responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata 1197image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will 1198be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage. 1199 1200FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage 1201to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length) 1202statically in I/O policy. 1203For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID 1204partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table 1205that needs to be parsed dynamically. 1206This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set 1207the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image. 1208Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata 1209image relies on this function call. 1210 1211It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error. 1212Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy 1213of the requested FWU metadata image. 1214 1215Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1] 1216~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1217 1218:: 1219 1220 Argument : void 1221 Return : uint32_t 1222 1223This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the 1224means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the 1225bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images. 1226 1227By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from 1228the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to 1229reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog 1230resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot 1231from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform 1232should boot its images from. 1233 1234Common optional modifications 1235----------------------------- 1236 1237The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform 1238common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these 1239definitions. 1240 1241Function : plat_set_my_stack() 1242~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1243 1244:: 1245 1246 Argument : void 1247 Return : void 1248 1249This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that 1250has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a 1251stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size 1252of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined 1253constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``. 1254 1255Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are 1256provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and 1257``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` 1258 1259Function : plat_get_my_stack() 1260~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1261 1262:: 1263 1264 Argument : void 1265 Return : uintptr_t 1266 1267This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that 1268has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a 1269stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size 1270of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined 1271constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``. 1272 1273Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are 1274provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and 1275``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` 1276 1277Function : plat_report_exception() 1278~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1279 1280:: 1281 1282 Argument : unsigned int 1283 Return : void 1284 1285A platform may need to report various information about its status when an 1286exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security 1287state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is 1288called in the following circumstances: 1289 1290- In BL1, whenever an exception is taken. 1291- In BL2, whenever an exception is taken. 1292 1293The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions 1294about the way the platform displays its status information. 1295 1296For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument. 1297Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the 1298``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not 1299related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention. 1300 1301For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument. 1302Possible values for exception modes are listed in the 1303``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file. 1304 1305Function : plat_reset_handler() 1306~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1307 1308:: 1309 1310 Argument : void 1311 Return : void 1312 1313A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function 1314allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform 1315specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should 1316preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29. 1317 1318The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override 1319the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general 1320guidelines. 1321 1322Function : plat_disable_acp() 1323~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1324 1325:: 1326 1327 Argument : void 1328 Return : void 1329 1330This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if 1331present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation 1332doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence, 1333it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as 1334scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used 1335by the caller to store the return address. 1336 1337Function : plat_error_handler() 1338~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1339 1340:: 1341 1342 Argument : int 1343 Return : void 1344 1345This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from 1346which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or 1347recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return. 1348 1349The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``. 1350Possible errors reported by the generic code are: 1351 1352- ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted 1353 Board Boot is enabled) 1354- ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO 1355 error was detected 1356- ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this 1357 error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size 1358 1359The default implementation simply spins. 1360 1361Function : plat_panic_handler() 1362~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1363 1364:: 1365 1366 Argument : void 1367 Return : void 1368 1369This API is called when the generic code encounters an unexpected error 1370situation from which it cannot recover. This function must not return, 1371and must be implemented in assembly because it may be called before the C 1372environment is initialized. 1373 1374.. note:: 1375 The address from where it was called is stored in x30 (Link Register). 1376 The default implementation simply spins. 1377 1378Function : plat_system_reset() 1379~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1380 1381:: 1382 1383 Argument : void 1384 Return : void 1385 1386This function is used by the platform to resets the system. It can be used 1387in any specific use-case where system needs to be resetted. For example, 1388in case of DRTM implementation this function reset the system after 1389writing the DRTM error code in the non-volatile storage. This function 1390never returns. Failure in reset results in panic. 1391 1392Function : plat_get_bl_image_load_info() 1393~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1394 1395:: 1396 1397 Argument : void 1398 Return : bl_load_info_t * 1399 1400This function returns pointer to the list of images that the platform has 1401populated to load. This function is invoked in BL2 to load the 1402BL3xx images. 1403 1404Function : plat_get_next_bl_params() 1405~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1406 1407:: 1408 1409 Argument : void 1410 Return : bl_params_t * 1411 1412This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the platform has 1413kept aside to pass TF-A related information that next BL image needs. This 1414function is invoked in BL2 to pass this information to the next BL 1415image. 1416 1417Function : plat_get_stack_protector_canary() 1418~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1419 1420:: 1421 1422 Argument : void 1423 Return : u_register_t 1424 1425This function returns a random value that is used to initialize the canary used 1426when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable 1427value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right 1428value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a 1429true random number. 1430 1431.. warning:: 1432 For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at 1433 a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an 1434 attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack. 1435 1436Function : plat_flush_next_bl_params() 1437~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1438 1439:: 1440 1441 Argument : void 1442 Return : void 1443 1444This function flushes to main memory all the image params that are passed to 1445next image. This function is invoked in BL2 to flush this information 1446to the next BL image. 1447 1448Function : plat_log_get_prefix() 1449~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1450 1451:: 1452 1453 Argument : unsigned int 1454 Return : const char * 1455 1456This function defines the prefix string corresponding to the `log_level` to be 1457prepended to all the log output from TF-A. The `log_level` (argument) will 1458correspond to one of the standard log levels defined in debug.h. The platform 1459can override the common implementation to define a different prefix string for 1460the log output. The implementation should be robust to future changes that 1461increase the number of log levels. 1462 1463Function : plat_get_soc_version() 1464~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1465 1466:: 1467 1468 Argument : void 1469 Return : int32_t 1470 1471This function returns soc version which mainly consist of below fields 1472 1473:: 1474 1475 soc_version[30:24] = JEP-106 continuation code for the SiP 1476 soc_version[23:16] = JEP-106 identification code with parity bit for the SiP 1477 soc_version[15:0] = Implementation defined SoC ID 1478 1479Function : plat_get_soc_revision() 1480~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1481 1482:: 1483 1484 Argument : void 1485 Return : int32_t 1486 1487This function returns soc revision in below format 1488 1489:: 1490 1491 soc_revision[0:30] = SOC revision of specific SOC 1492 1493Function : plat_is_smccc_feature_available() 1494~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1495 1496:: 1497 1498 Argument : u_register_t 1499 Return : int32_t 1500 1501This function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS if the platform supports 1502the SMCCC function specified in the argument; otherwise returns 1503SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED. 1504 1505Function : plat_can_cmo() 1506~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1507 1508:: 1509 1510 Argument : void 1511 Return : uint64_t 1512 1513When CONDITIONAL_CMO flag is enabled: 1514 1515- This function indicates whether cache management operations should be 1516 performed. It returns 0 if CMOs should be skipped and non-zero 1517 otherwise. 1518- The function must not clobber x1, x2 and x3. It's also not safe to rely on 1519 stack. Otherwise obey AAPCS. 1520 1521Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage 1522--------------------------------------------- 1523 1524Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1) 1525------------------------- 1526 1527BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or 1528warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks: 1529 1530#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2 1531 1532#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that 1533 only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing 1534 control to the BL2 stage. 1535 1536#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required). 1537 1538#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the 1539 address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``. 1540 1541#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory, 1542 accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry. 1543 1544 :: 1545 1546 meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2 1547 meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2 1548 1549 By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure 1550 memory visible to BL2. 1551 1552 It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the 1553 ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to 1554 BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of 1555 ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API. 1556 1557The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable 1558BL1 to perform the above tasks. 1559 1560Function : bl1_early_platform_setup() [mandatory] 1561~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1562 1563:: 1564 1565 Argument : void 1566 Return : void 1567 1568This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 1569by the primary CPU. 1570 1571On Arm standard platforms, this function: 1572 1573- Enables a secure instance of SP805 to act as the Trusted Watchdog. 1574 1575- Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf`` 1576 family of functions in BL1. 1577 1578- Enables issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to 1579 the CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the 1580 primary CPU. 1581 1582Function : bl1_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory] 1583~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1584 1585:: 1586 1587 Argument : void 1588 Return : void 1589 1590This function performs any platform-specific and architectural setup that the 1591platform requires. Platform-specific setup might include configuration of 1592memory controllers and the interconnect. 1593 1594In Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU. 1595 1596This function helps fulfill requirement 2 above. 1597 1598Function : bl1_platform_setup() [mandatory] 1599~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1600 1601:: 1602 1603 Argument : void 1604 Return : void 1605 1606This function executes with the MMU and data caches enabled. It is responsible 1607for performing any remaining platform-specific setup that can occur after the 1608MMU and data cache have been enabled. 1609 1610if support for multiple boot sources is required, it initializes the boot 1611sequence used by plat_try_next_boot_source(). 1612 1613In Arm standard platforms, this function initializes the storage abstraction 1614layer used to load the next bootloader image. 1615 1616This function helps fulfill requirement 4 above. 1617 1618Function : bl1_plat_sec_mem_layout() [mandatory] 1619~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1620 1621:: 1622 1623 Argument : void 1624 Return : meminfo * 1625 1626This function should only be called on the cold boot path. It executes with the 1627MMU and data caches enabled. The pointer returned by this function must point to 1628a ``meminfo`` structure containing the extents and availability of secure RAM for 1629the BL1 stage. 1630 1631:: 1632 1633 meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL1 1634 meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL1 1635 1636This information is used by BL1 to load the BL2 image in secure RAM. BL1 also 1637populates a similar structure to tell BL2 the extents of memory available for 1638its own use. 1639 1640This function helps fulfill requirements 4 and 5 above. 1641 1642Function : bl1_plat_prepare_exit() [optional] 1643~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1644 1645:: 1646 1647 Argument : entry_point_info_t * 1648 Return : void 1649 1650This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the 1651``BL1_SMC_RUN_IMAGE`` SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform 1652platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring 1653control to the next image. It receives the address of the ``entry_point_info_t`` 1654structure passed from BL2. This function runs with MMU disabled. 1655 1656Function : bl1_plat_set_ep_info() [optional] 1657~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1658 1659:: 1660 1661 Argument : unsigned int image_id, entry_point_info_t *ep_info 1662 Return : void 1663 1664This function allows platforms to override ``ep_info`` for the given ``image_id``. 1665 1666The default implementation just returns. 1667 1668Function : bl1_plat_get_next_image_id() [optional] 1669~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1670 1671:: 1672 1673 Argument : void 1674 Return : unsigned int 1675 1676This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature. 1677 1678BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be 1679loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds 1680with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform 1681returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required. 1682 1683The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development 1684platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and 1685if so, return the first image in the firmware update process. 1686 1687Function : bl1_plat_get_image_desc() [optional] 1688~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1689 1690:: 1691 1692 Argument : unsigned int image_id 1693 Return : image_desc_t * 1694 1695BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t`` 1696for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform. 1697 1698The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm 1699standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of 1700the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements 1701specification. 1702 1703Function : bl1_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional] 1704~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1705 1706:: 1707 1708 Argument : unsigned int image_id 1709 Return : int 1710 1711This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information 1712corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold 1713boot and FWU code path, before loading the image. 1714 1715Function : bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional] 1716~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1717 1718:: 1719 1720 Argument : unsigned int image_id 1721 Return : int 1722 1723This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information 1724corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold 1725boot and FWU code path, after loading and authenticating the image. 1726 1727The default weak implementation of this function calculates the amount of 1728Trusted SRAM that can be used by BL2 and allocates a ``meminfo_t`` 1729structure at the beginning of this free memory and populates it. The address 1730of ``meminfo_t`` structure is updated in ``arg1`` of the entrypoint 1731information to BL2. 1732 1733Function : bl1_plat_fwu_done() [optional] 1734~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1735 1736:: 1737 1738 Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t image_src, 1739 unsigned int image_size 1740 Return : void 1741 1742BL1 calls this function when the FWU process is complete. It must not return. 1743The platform may override this function to take platform specific action, for 1744example to initiate the normal boot flow. 1745 1746The default implementation spins forever. 1747 1748Function : bl1_plat_mem_check() [mandatory] 1749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1750 1751:: 1752 1753 Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size, 1754 unsigned int flags 1755 Return : int 1756 1757BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when 1758copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the 1759region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and 1760that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as 1761indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument. 1762 1763This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of 1764``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not 1765overflow. 1766 1767This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise. 1768 1769The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must 1770override it when using the FWU feature. 1771 1772Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) 1773------------------------- 1774 1775The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1 1776using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at 1777``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes 1778``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from 1779non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded 1780then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable 1781images to be passed to the next BL image. 1782 1783The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2 1784to perform the above tasks. 1785 1786Function : bl2_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory] 1787~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1788 1789:: 1790 1791 Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t 1792 Return : void 1793 1794This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 1795by the primary CPU. The 4 arguments are passed by BL1 to BL2 and these arguments 1796are platform specific. 1797 1798On Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are : 1799 1800 arg0 - Points to load address of FW_CONFIG 1801 1802 arg1 - ``meminfo`` structure populated by BL1. The platform copies 1803 the contents of ``meminfo`` as it may be subsequently overwritten by BL2. 1804 1805On Arm standard platforms, this function also: 1806 1807- Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf`` 1808 family of functions in BL2. 1809 1810- Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader 1811 images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image, 1812 since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded. 1813 1814Function : bl2_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory] 1815~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1816 1817:: 1818 1819 Argument : void 1820 Return : void 1821 1822This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 1823by the primary CPU. 1824 1825The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization 1826that varies across platforms. 1827 1828On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU. 1829 1830Function : bl2_platform_setup() [mandatory] 1831~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1832 1833:: 1834 1835 Argument : void 1836 Return : void 1837 1838This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform 1839port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only 1840called by the primary CPU. 1841 1842The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization 1843specific to BL2. 1844 1845In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including 1846configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access 1847to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use. 1848 1849Function : bl2_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional] 1850~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1851 1852:: 1853 1854 Argument : unsigned int 1855 Return : int 1856 1857This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information 1858for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 before 1859loading each image. 1860 1861Function : bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional] 1862~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1863 1864:: 1865 1866 Argument : unsigned int 1867 Return : int 1868 1869This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information 1870for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 after 1871loading each image. 1872 1873Function : bl2_plat_preload_setup [optional] 1874~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1875 1876:: 1877 1878 Argument : void 1879 Return : void 1880 1881This optional function performs any BL2 platform initialization 1882required before image loading, that is not done later in 1883bl2_platform_setup(). Specifically, if support for multiple 1884boot sources is required, it initializes the boot sequence used by 1885plat_try_next_boot_source(). 1886 1887Function : plat_try_next_boot_source() [optional] 1888~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1889 1890:: 1891 1892 Argument : void 1893 Return : int 1894 1895This optional function passes to the next boot source in the redundancy 1896sequence. 1897 1898This function moves the current boot redundancy source to the next 1899element in the boot sequence. If there are no more boot sources then it 1900must return 0, otherwise it must return 1. The default implementation 1901of this always returns 0. 1902 1903Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) at EL3 1904-------------------------------- 1905 1906When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump 1907directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to 1908execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` 1909document for more information. 1910 1911All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions 1912bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because 1913their work is done now by bl2_el3_early_platform_setup and 1914bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup. These functions should generally implement 1915the bl1_plat_xxx() and bl2_plat_xxx() functionality combined. 1916 1917 1918Function : bl2_el3_early_platform_setup() [mandatory] 1919~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1920 1921:: 1922 1923 Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t 1924 Return : void 1925 1926This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 1927by the primary CPU. This function receives four parameters which can be used 1928by the platform to pass any needed information from the Boot ROM to BL2. 1929 1930On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following: 1931 1932- Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf`` 1933 family of functions in BL2. 1934 1935- Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader 1936 images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image, 1937 since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded. 1938 1939- Initializes the private variables that define the memory layout used. 1940 1941Function : bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory] 1942~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1943 1944:: 1945 1946 Argument : void 1947 Return : void 1948 1949This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 1950by the primary CPU. 1951 1952The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization 1953that varies across platforms. 1954 1955On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU. 1956 1957Function : bl2_el3_plat_prepare_exit() [optional] 1958~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1959 1960:: 1961 1962 Argument : void 1963 Return : void 1964 1965This function is called prior to exiting BL2 and run the next image. 1966It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping 1967operations before transferring control to the next image. This function 1968runs with MMU disabled. 1969 1970FWU Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2U) 1971------------------------------ 1972 1973The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU 1974process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at 1975``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for: 1976 1977#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure 1978 memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1. 1979 ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U 1980 should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is 1981 implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function. 1982 If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed. 1983 1984#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For 1985 example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the 1986 normal world can access DDR memory. 1987 1988The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable 1989BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above. 1990 1991Function : bl2u_early_platform_setup() [mandatory] 1992~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1993 1994:: 1995 1996 Argument : meminfo *mem_info, void *plat_info 1997 Return : void 1998 1999This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only 2000called by the primary CPU. The arguments to this function is the address 2001of the ``meminfo`` structure and platform specific info provided by BL1. 2002 2003The platform may copy the contents of the ``mem_info`` and ``plat_info`` into 2004private storage as the original memory may be subsequently overwritten by BL2U. 2005 2006On Arm CSS platforms ``plat_info`` is interpreted as an ``image_info_t`` structure, 2007to extract SCP_BL2U image information, which is then copied into a private 2008variable. 2009 2010Function : bl2u_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory] 2011~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2012 2013:: 2014 2015 Argument : void 2016 Return : void 2017 2018This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only 2019called by the primary CPU. 2020 2021The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization 2022that varies across platforms, for example enabling the MMU (since the memory 2023map differs across platforms). 2024 2025Function : bl2u_platform_setup() [mandatory] 2026~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2027 2028:: 2029 2030 Argument : void 2031 Return : void 2032 2033This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform 2034port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2u_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only 2035called by the primary CPU. 2036 2037The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization 2038specific to BL2U. 2039 2040In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including 2041configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access 2042to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use. 2043 2044Function : bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u() [optional] 2045~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2046 2047:: 2048 2049 Argument : void 2050 Return : int 2051 2052This function is used to perform any platform-specific actions required to 2053handle the SCP firmware. Typically it transfers the image into SCP memory using 2054a platform-specific protocol and waits until SCP executes it and signals to the 2055Application Processor (AP) for BL2U execution to continue. 2056 2057This function returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise. 2058This function is included if SCP_BL2U_BASE is defined. 2059 2060Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31) 2061---------------------------- 2062 2063During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is 2064determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes 2065control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all 2066CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for: 2067 2068#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs 2069 some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure 2070 that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It 2071 should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control. 2072 2073#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform- 2074 specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list 2075 populated by BL2 in memory to do this. 2076 2077#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a 2078 subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime 2079 service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI 2080 implementation. 2081 2082#. Optionally passing control to the BL32 image, pre-loaded at a platform- 2083 specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime 2084 services to specify the security state in which the next image should be 2085 executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the 2086 ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this. 2087 2088If BL31 is a reset vector, It also needs to handle the reset as specified in 2089section 2.2 before the tasks described above. 2090 2091The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL31 2092to perform the above tasks. 2093 2094Function : bl31_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory] 2095~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2096 2097:: 2098 2099 Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t 2100 Return : void 2101 2102This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 2103by the primary CPU. BL2 can pass 4 arguments to BL31 and these arguments are 2104platform specific. 2105 2106In Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are : 2107 2108 arg0 - The pointer to the head of `bl_params_t` list 2109 which is list of executable images following BL31, 2110 2111 arg1 - Points to load address of SOC_FW_CONFIG if present 2112 except in case of Arm FVP and Juno platform. 2113 2114 In case of Arm FVP and Juno platform, points to load address 2115 of FW_CONFIG. 2116 2117 arg2 - Points to load address of HW_CONFIG if present 2118 2119 arg3 - A special value to verify platform parameters from BL2 to BL31. Not 2120 used in release builds. 2121 2122The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point 2123information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following: 2124 2125- Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf`` 2126 family of functions in BL31. 2127 2128- Enable issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to the 2129 CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the primary 2130 CPU. 2131 2132Function : bl31_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory] 2133~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2134 2135:: 2136 2137 Argument : void 2138 Return : void 2139 2140This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called 2141by the primary CPU. 2142 2143The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization 2144that varies across platforms. 2145 2146On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU. 2147 2148Function : bl31_platform_setup() [mandatory] 2149~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2150 2151:: 2152 2153 Argument : void 2154 Return : void 2155 2156This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform 2157port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only 2158called by the primary CPU. 2159 2160The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both 2161BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly. 2162 2163On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following: 2164 2165- Initialize the generic interrupt controller. 2166 2167 Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2 2168 or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of: 2169 2170 - Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface. 2171 - Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism. 2172 - Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities 2173 to be signaled to the CPU interface. 2174 - Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure. 2175 - Target all secure SPIs to CPU0. 2176 - Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor. 2177 - Configure all other interrupts as non-secure. 2178 - Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor. 2179 2180- Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the 2181 memory mapped interface. 2182 2183- Grant access to the system counter timer module 2184 2185- Initialize the power controller device. 2186 2187 In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the 2188 power controller device. 2189 2190Function : bl31_plat_runtime_setup() [optional] 2191~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2192 2193:: 2194 2195 Argument : void 2196 Return : void 2197 2198The purpose of this function is allow the platform to perform any BL31 runtime 2199setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot. The default weak 2200implementation of this function will invoke ``console_switch_state()`` to switch 2201console output to consoles marked for use in the ``runtime`` state. 2202 2203Function : bl31_plat_get_next_image_ep_info() [mandatory] 2204~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2205 2206:: 2207 2208 Argument : uint32_t 2209 Return : entry_point_info * 2210 2211This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform 2212port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. 2213 2214This function is called by ``bl31_main()`` to retrieve information provided by 2215BL2 for the next image in the security state specified by the argument. BL31 2216uses this information to pass control to that image in the specified security 2217state. This function must return a pointer to the ``entry_point_info`` structure 2218(that was copied during ``bl31_early_platform_setup()``) if the image exists. It 2219should return NULL otherwise. 2220 2221Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_attest_token() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1] 2222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2223 2224:: 2225 2226 Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, uintptr_t, size_t 2227 Return : int 2228 2229This function returns the Platform attestation token. 2230 2231The parameters of the function are: 2232 2233 arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the Platform token should be copied by 2234 this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the Platform 2235 token. 2236 2237 arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The 2238 function returns the platform token length in this parameter. 2239 2240 arg2 - A pointer to the buffer where the challenge object is stored. 2241 2242 arg3 - The length of the challenge object in bytes. Possible values are 32, 2243 48 and 64. 2244 2245The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure. 2246 2247Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_realm_attest_key() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1] 2248~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2249 2250:: 2251 2252 Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, unsigned int 2253 Return : int 2254 2255This function returns the delegated realm attestation key which will be used to 2256sign Realm attestation token. The API currently only supports P-384 ECC curve 2257key. 2258 2259The parameters of the function are: 2260 2261 arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the attestation key should be copied 2262 by this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the 2263 attestation key. 2264 2265 arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The 2266 function returns the attestation key length in this parameter. 2267 2268 arg2 - The type of the elliptic curve to which the requested attestation key 2269 belongs. 2270 2271The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure. 2272 2273Function : plat_rmmd_get_el3_rmm_shared_mem() [when ENABLE_RME == 1] 2274~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2275 2276:: 2277 2278 Argument : uintptr_t * 2279 Return : size_t 2280 2281This function returns the size of the shared area between EL3 and RMM (or 0 on 2282failure). A pointer to the shared area (or a NULL pointer on failure) is stored 2283in the pointer passed as argument. 2284 2285Function : plat_rmmd_load_manifest() [when ENABLE_RME == 1] 2286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2287 2288:: 2289 2290 Arguments : rmm_manifest_t *manifest 2291 Return : int 2292 2293When ENABLE_RME is enabled, this function populates a boot manifest for the 2294RMM image and stores it in the area specified by manifest. 2295 2296When ENABLE_RME is disabled, this function is not used. 2297 2298Function : bl31_plat_enable_mmu [optional] 2299~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2300 2301:: 2302 2303 Argument : uint32_t 2304 Return : void 2305 2306This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and 2307caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable 2308translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled. 2309 2310The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are 2311defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file 2312``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``. 2313 2314On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which 2315is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented. 2316 2317Function : plat_init_apkey [optional] 2318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2319 2320:: 2321 2322 Argument : void 2323 Return : uint128_t 2324 2325This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3 2326pointer authentication keys. 2327 2328The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness. 2329 2330This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the 2331Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to non-zero. 2332 2333Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory] 2334~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2335 2336:: 2337 2338 Argument : void 2339 Return : unsigned int 2340 2341This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter 2342frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the 2343``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency 2344of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency 2345modes table. 2346 2347#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional] 2348~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2349 2350When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in 2351bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to 2352accommodate all the bakery locks. 2353 2354If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker 2355calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the 2356nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT`` 2357and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform 2358from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for 2359accessing per-cpu bakery lock information. 2360 2361If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value 2362calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time 2363assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache 2364line boundary. 2365 2366.. _porting_guide_sdei_requirements: 2367 2368SDEI porting requirements 2369~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2370 2371The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros 2372and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory. 2373 2374Macros 2375...... 2376 2377Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory] 2378^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2379 2380This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with 2381Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value 2382(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``. 2383 2384Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory] 2385^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2386 2387This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with 2388Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value 2389(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``. 2390 2391**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure 2392priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must 2393be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority. 2394 2395Functions 2396......... 2397 2398Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional] 2399^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2400 2401:: 2402 2403 Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode 2404 Return: int 2405 2406This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by 2407the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls. 2408The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime. 2409 2410The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It 2411can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2. 2412 2413The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure. 2414 2415The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function 2416translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and 2417further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure 2418DRAM. 2419 2420Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional] 2421^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2422 2423:: 2424 2425 Argument: uint64_t 2426 Argument: unsigned int 2427 Return: void 2428 2429|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events 2430masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask 2431|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such 2432time. 2433 2434Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the 2435events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function 2436``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the 2437interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters. 2438 2439The default implementation only prints out a warning message. 2440 2441.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements: 2442 2443TRNG porting requirements 2444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2445 2446The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values 2447and mandatory functions. 2448 2449Values 2450...... 2451 2452value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory] 2453^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2454 2455This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to 2456the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must 2457conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the 2458UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in 2459w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source. 2460 2461Functions 2462......... 2463 2464Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory] 2465^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2466 2467:: 2468 2469 Argument: none 2470 Return: none 2471 2472This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG 2473hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed. 2474 2475Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory] 2476^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2477 2478:: 2479 2480 Argument: uint64_t * 2481 Return: bool 2482 Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the 2483 storage pointed to 2484 2485This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy 2486is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written. 2487 2488.. _psci_in_bl31: 2489 2490Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31) 2491-------------------------------------------- 2492 2493The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a 2494*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which 2495share some state on which power management operations can be performed as 2496specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is 2497a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The 2498*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each 2499*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that 2500is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for 2501example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a 2502logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of 2503CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for 2504example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its 2505organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. 2506 2507BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific 2508power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function 2509correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The 2510PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing 2511power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target 2512CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()`` 2513handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain. 2514 2515The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to 2516describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation 2517defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an 2518array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain 2519level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power 2520level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to 2521convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state) 2522passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation. 2523 2524The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality. 2525 2526Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional] 2527~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2528 2529:: 2530 2531 Argument : const psci_power_state_t * 2532 Return : void 2533 2534This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics 2535accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of 2536``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done 2537differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at 2538index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down 2539state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the 2540residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency 2541statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the 2542default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps. 2543 2544Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional] 2545~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2546 2547:: 2548 2549 Argument : const psci_power_state_t * 2550 Return : void 2551 2552This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics 2553accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field 2554of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done 2555differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at 2556index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down 2557state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the 2558residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency 2559statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the 2560default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps. 2561 2562Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional] 2563~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2564 2565:: 2566 2567 Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int 2568 Return : u_register_t 2569 2570This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power 2571state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power 2572domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend, 2573all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code 2574invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it 2575identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second 2576argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from. 2577The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low 2578power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last 2579CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency 2580for that power domain. 2581 2582Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional] 2583~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2584 2585:: 2586 2587 Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int 2588 Return : plat_local_state_t 2589 2590The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in 2591state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed 2592a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second 2593argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular 2594power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function 2595is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return 2596a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power 2597states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested 2598power states. 2599 2600A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes 2601that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth 2602of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y 2603then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the 2604coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum 2605of the requested local power state values. 2606 2607Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory] 2608~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2609 2610:: 2611 2612 Argument : void 2613 Return : const unsigned char * 2614 2615This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain 2616topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are 2617described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI 2618initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either 2619statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case 2620the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and 2621plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree 2622description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together 2623form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework. 2624 2625Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory] 2626~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2627 2628:: 2629 2630 Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops ** 2631 Return : int 2632 2633This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform 2634port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only 2635called by the primary CPU. 2636 2637This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let 2638the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the 2639``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for 2640platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed 2641pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. 2642 2643A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to 2644the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in 2645``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the 2646platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this 2647structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of 2648:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI 2649function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this 2650structure instead of providing an empty implementation. 2651 2652plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby() 2653........................... 2654 2655Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu 2656indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby 2657wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided. 2658For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation, 2659the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be 2660STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The 2661handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by 2662issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that 2663state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed. 2664 2665plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on() 2666............................. 2667 2668Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified 2669by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to 2670return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure. 2671 2672plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional] 2673............................................... 2674 2675This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if 2676powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as 2677indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed. 2678 2679The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states 2680for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. 2681 2682For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a 2683power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state 2684for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state 2685coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the 2686platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU. 2687 2688plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off() 2689.............................. 2690 2691Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU 2692and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state`` 2693(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation. 2694 2695The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states 2696for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler 2697needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state 2698at each power level. 2699 2700For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a 2701power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state 2702for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state 2703coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed. 2704 2705plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_validate_suspend() [optional] 2706...................................................... 2707 2708This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build 2709option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled. 2710 2711If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific 2712validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to 2713return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or 2714PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests. 2715 2716plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional] 2717........................................................... 2718 2719This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace 2720or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics 2721are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only 2722calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees 2723that data caches are enabled. 2724 2725When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches 2726before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a 2727power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform 2728specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more 2729efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY 2730= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to 2731moving platform specific actions to this function. 2732 2733plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend() 2734.................................. 2735 2736Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling 2737CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the 2738``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` 2739API implementation. 2740 2741The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in 2742the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated 2743target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent 2744power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation 2745corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code 2746expects the handler to succeed. 2747 2748The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that 2749in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state 2750when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter 2751case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume 2752execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see 2753``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``). 2754 2755When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3 2756Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve 2757this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is 2758implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed 2759sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of 2760the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC 2761Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper. 2762Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it 2763is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation 2764defined sequence. 2765 2766When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the 2767``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after 2768it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the 2769system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be 2770allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static 2771data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an 2772implementation-defined sequence. 2773 2774plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi() 2775....................................... 2776 2777This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform 2778platform specific actions including the ``wfi`` invocation which allows the 2779CPU to powerdown. Since this function is invoked outside the PSCI locks, 2780the actions performed in this hook must be local to the CPU or the platform 2781must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot occur. 2782 2783The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()`` 2784operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for 2785the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. This function must 2786not return back to the caller (by calling wfi in an infinite loop to ensure 2787some CPUs power down mitigations work properly). 2788 2789If this function is not implemented by the platform, PSCI generic 2790implementation invokes ``psci_power_down_wfi()`` for power down. 2791 2792plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish() 2793.................................... 2794 2795This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is 2796powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. 2797It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for 2798this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware 2799services. 2800 2801The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains 2802immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains 2803above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in 2804low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed. 2805 2806plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional] 2807........................................................... 2808 2809This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling 2810CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and 2811the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This 2812function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely, 2813such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the 2814overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations. 2815 2816The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` 2817operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed. 2818 2819plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish() 2820......................................... 2821 2822This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is 2823powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup 2824event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the 2825``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific 2826setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution 2827in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services. 2828 2829The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in 2830the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform 2831to succeed. 2832 2833If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a 2834suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order 2835to how they were saved during suspend sequence. 2836 2837plat_psci_ops.system_off() 2838.......................... 2839 2840This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF`` 2841call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after 2842notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. 2843 2844plat_psci_ops.system_reset() 2845............................ 2846 2847This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET`` 2848call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after 2849notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. 2850 2851plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state() 2852.................................... 2853 2854This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND`` 2855call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid, 2856populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level 2857specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must 2858return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the 2859normal world PSCI client. 2860 2861plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint() 2862...................................... 2863 2864This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``, 2865``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point`` 2866parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid, 2867the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is 2868propagated back to the normal world PSCI client. 2869 2870plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state() 2871........................................... 2872 2873This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` 2874call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power 2875domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The 2876``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and 2877``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to 2878enter system suspend. 2879 2880plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx() 2881..................................... 2882 2883This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI 2884implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified 2885``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and 2886``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform 2887supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is 2888``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these 2889local power states. 2890 2891plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr() 2892.............................................. 2893 2894This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state`` 2895(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power 2896domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first 2897argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain 2898level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be 2899populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality 2900is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is 2901envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the 2902targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power 2903domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this 2904function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on 2905``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``. 2906 2907This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local 2908power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY 2909APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_. 2910 2911plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state() 2912................................. 2913 2914This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return 2915the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in 2916the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``), 2917as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform. 2918Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final 2919status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it 2920must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as 2921appropriate. 2922 2923Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than 2924``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``. 2925 2926plat_psci_ops.system_reset2() 2927............................. 2928 2929This is an optional function. If implemented this function is 2930called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset 2931based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in 2932`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional 2933reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the 2934function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural 2935resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS`` 2936and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined 2937in `PSCI`_. On success this function will not return. 2938 2939plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect() 2940................................. 2941 2942This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the 2943``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``. 2944A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero 2945disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value 2946and on success it must return 0. 2947 2948plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect() 2949................................ 2950 2951This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current 2952state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter. Upon encountering 2953failures it must return a negative value and on success it must 2954return 0. 2955 2956plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk() 2957............................... 2958 2959This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory 2960region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length`` 2961bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``. If the region is protected 2962then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number. 2963 2964.. _porting_guide_imf_in_bl31: 2965 2966Interrupt Management framework (in BL31) 2967---------------------------------------- 2968 2969BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts 2970generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure 2971state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is 2972described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework` 2973 2974A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following 2975text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard 2976platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller 2977present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both 2978`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_ 2979and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the 2980FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag 2981``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more 2982details). 2983 2984See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`. 2985 2986Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory] 2987~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2988 2989:: 2990 2991 Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t 2992 Return : uint32_t 2993 2994The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ 2995interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt 2996controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in 2997either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line 2998the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework 2999from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3. 3000 3001The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see 3002:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the 3003interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating 3004execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3`` 3005register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2. 3006 3007In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are 3008configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security 3009state. 3010 3011In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be 3012configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the 3013interrupt is signalled and are as follows: 3014 3015- The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in 3016 NS-EL0/1/2 context. 3017- The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ 3018 in the NS-EL0/1/2 context. 3019- The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2 3020 context. 3021 3022Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory] 3023~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3024 3025:: 3026 3027 Argument : void 3028 Return : uint32_t 3029 3030This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the 3031platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding 3032handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt 3033pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, 3034``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3. 3035 3036In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority 3037Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of 3038the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as 3039follows. 3040 3041#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt 3042#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt. 3043#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type. 3044 3045In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register 3046``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*, 3047is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt 3048depends upon the id value as follows. 3049 3050#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt 3051#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt. 3052#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type. 3053#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt. 3054 3055Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_id() [mandatory] 3056~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3057 3058:: 3059 3060 Argument : void 3061 Return : uint32_t 3062 3063This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the 3064platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt 3065pending. 3066 3067In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority 3068Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the 3069pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of 3070the id read from the interrupt controller as follows. 3071 3072#. id < 1022. id is returned as is. 3073#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register* 3074 (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt. 3075 This id is returned by the API. 3076#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned. 3077 3078In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from 3079EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt 3080group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id 3081that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the 3082interrupt controller as follows. 3083 3084#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is. 3085#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system 3086 register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1 3087 Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id 3088 is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id 3089#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers, 3090 ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned. 3091 3092When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system 3093register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt 3094Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else 3095``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned. 3096 3097Function : plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt() [mandatory] 3098~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3099 3100:: 3101 3102 Argument : void 3103 Return : uint32_t 3104 3105This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of 3106the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified 3107value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt. 3108The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API 3109`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`. 3110 3111This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt 3112Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest 3113priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller. 3114It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified. 3115 3116In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked 3117from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt 3118Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function 3119reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register 3120group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from 3121pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned 3122unmodified. 3123 3124The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer 3125interrupt. 3126 3127Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory] 3128~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3129 3130:: 3131 3132 Argument : uint32_t 3133 Return : void 3134 3135This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of 3136the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has 3137finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the 3138``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API. 3139 3140Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register* 3141(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1`` 3142system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from, 3143EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt 3144controller. 3145 3146The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer 3147interrupt. 3148 3149Function : plat_ic_get_interrupt_type() [mandatory] 3150~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3151 3152:: 3153 3154 Argument : uint32_t 3155 Return : uint32_t 3156 3157This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter. 3158``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid 3159interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is 3160returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform 3161IC. This API must be invoked at EL3. 3162 3163Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts 3164and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value 3165corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register* 3166(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt. 3167 3168In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group 3169Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register* 3170(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured 3171as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt. 3172 3173Common helper functions 3174----------------------- 3175Function : elx_panic() 3176~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3177 3178:: 3179 3180 Argument : void 3181 Return : void 3182 3183This API is called from assembly files when reporting a critical failure 3184that has occured in lower EL and is been trapped in EL3. This call 3185**must not** return. 3186 3187Function : el3_panic() 3188~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3189 3190:: 3191 3192 Argument : void 3193 Return : void 3194 3195This API is called from assembly files when encountering a critical failure that 3196cannot be recovered from. This function assumes that it is invoked from a C 3197runtime environment i.e. valid stack exists. This call **must not** return. 3198 3199Function : panic() 3200~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3201 3202:: 3203 3204 Argument : void 3205 Return : void 3206 3207This API called from C files when encountering a critical failure that cannot 3208be recovered from. This function in turn prints backtrace (if enabled) and calls 3209el3_panic(). This call **must not** return. 3210 3211Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31) 3212----------------------------------- 3213 3214BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers 3215of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies 3216on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``, 3217``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``. 3218 3219The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample 3220implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their 3221makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash 3222output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on 3223consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be 3224used to control whether a console is used for crash output. 3225 3226.. note:: 3227 Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for 3228 use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written 3229 in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc() 3230 (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks. 3231 3232In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the 3233normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output 3234more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for 3235these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many 3236console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush`` 3237that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno) 3238for an example of this. 3239 3240Function : plat_crash_console_init [mandatory] 3241~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3242 3243:: 3244 3245 Argument : void 3246 Return : int 3247 3248This API is used by the crash reporting mechanism to initialize the crash 3249console. It must only use the general purpose registers x0 through x7 to do the 3250initialization and returns 1 on success. 3251 3252Function : plat_crash_console_putc [mandatory] 3253~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3254 3255:: 3256 3257 Argument : int 3258 Return : int 3259 3260This API is used by the crash reporting mechanism to print a character on the 3261designated crash console. It must only use general purpose registers x1 and 3262x2 to do its work. The parameter and the return value are in general purpose 3263register x0. 3264 3265Function : plat_crash_console_flush [mandatory] 3266~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3267 3268:: 3269 3270 Argument : void 3271 Return : void 3272 3273This API is used by the crash reporting mechanism to force write of all buffered 3274data on the designated crash console. It should only use general purpose 3275registers x0 through x5 to do its work. 3276 3277.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support: 3278 3279External Abort handling and RAS Support 3280--------------------------------------- 3281 3282Function : plat_ea_handler 3283~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3284 3285:: 3286 3287 Argument : int 3288 Argument : uint64_t 3289 Argument : void * 3290 Argument : void * 3291 Argument : uint64_t 3292 Return : void 3293 3294This function is invoked by the runtime exception handling framework for the 3295platform to handle an External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the 3296function is to attempt to resolve the cause of External Abort and return; 3297if that's not possible then an orderly shutdown of the system is initiated. 3298 3299The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort. 3300Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``. 3301 3302The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome 3303presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the 3304nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this 3305can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``. 3306 3307The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter 3308(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter 3309(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters 3310are received from the top-level exception handler. 3311 3312This function must be implemented if a platform expects Firmware First handling 3313of External Aborts. 3314 3315Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea 3316~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3317 3318:: 3319 3320 Argument : int 3321 Argument : uint64_t 3322 Return : void 3323 3324This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of 3325Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of 3326Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly 3327shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return. 3328 3329This function must be implemented in assembly. 3330 3331The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``. 3332 3333The default implementation of this function calls 3334``report_unhandled_exception``. 3335 3336Function : plat_handle_double_fault 3337~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3338 3339:: 3340 3341 Argument : int 3342 Argument : uint64_t 3343 Return : void 3344 3345This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is 3346received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to 3347``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of 3348this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected 3349recover or return. 3350 3351This function must be implemented in assembly. 3352 3353The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``. 3354 3355The default implementation of this function calls 3356``report_unhandled_exception``. 3357 3358Function : plat_handle_el3_ea 3359~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3360 3361:: 3362 3363 Return : void 3364 3365This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in 3366EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate 3367orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return. 3368 3369This function must be implemented in assembly. 3370 3371The default implementation of this function calls 3372``report_unhandled_exception``. 3373 3374Function : plat_handle_rng_trap 3375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3376 3377:: 3378 3379 Argument : uint64_t 3380 Argument : cpu_context_t * 3381 Return : int 3382 3383This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous 3384system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows 3385platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to 3386emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL. 3387 3388The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3 3389syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting 3390information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``). 3391 3392The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the 3393lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction 3394was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target 3395register. 3396 3397The return value indicates how to proceed: 3398 3399- When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic. 3400- When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return 3401 to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated. 3402- When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return 3403 to the next instruction. 3404 3405This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP. 3406 3407Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap 3408~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3409 3410:: 3411 3412 Argument : uint64_t 3413 Argument : cpu_context_t * 3414 Return : int 3415 3416This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous 3417system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers. 3418It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system 3419registers choosing to program bits of their choice. 3420 3421The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3 3422syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. 3423 3424The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the 3425lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction 3426was trapped. 3427 3428The return value indicates how to proceed: 3429 3430- When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic. 3431- When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return 3432 to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated. 3433- When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return 3434 to the next instruction. 3435 3436This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables 3437IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP. 3438 3439Build flags 3440----------- 3441 3442There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control 3443inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags 3444need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the 3445build system. 3446 3447- **NEED_BL33** 3448 By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33`` 3449 build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the 3450 option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag 3451 to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` 3452 are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically. 3453 3454- **ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR** 3455 By default, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.ARM_ARCH_MINOR is set to 8.0 in ``defaults.mk``, 3456 if the platform makefile/build defines or uses the correct ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and 3457 ARM_ARCH_MINOR then mandatory Architectural features available for that Arch 3458 version will be enabled by default and any optional Arch feature supported by 3459 the Architecture and available in TF-A can be enabled from platform specific 3460 makefile. Look up to ``arch_features.mk`` for details pertaining to mandatory 3461 and optional Arch specific features. 3462 3463Platform include paths 3464---------------------- 3465 3466Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler. 3467The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in 3468particular for the file ``platform_def.h``. 3469 3470Example: 3471 3472.. code:: c 3473 3474 PLAT_INCLUDES += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include 3475 3476C Library 3477--------- 3478 3479To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided 3480by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag 3481to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the 3482required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only 3483contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If 3484more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be 3485added to the local implementation. 3486 3487Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have 3488been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained 3489from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The 3490files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``. 3491 3492SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources 3493can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd. 3494 3495Storage abstraction layer 3496------------------------- 3497 3498In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction 3499layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently 3500storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the 3501``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``. 3502 3503.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml 3504 3505It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm 3506development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as 3507the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`). 3508The storage layer is described in the header file 3509``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is 3510in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in 3511``drivers/io/``. 3512 3513.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml 3514 3515Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in 3516``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration 3517function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver 3518implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example. 3519 3520Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage 3521abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader 3522phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions. 3523 3524.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml 3525 3526The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to 3527initialize storage devices before IO operations are called. 3528 3529.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml 3530 3531The basic operations supported by the layer 3532include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``. 3533Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must 3534provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic 3535operations such as loading a bootloader image. 3536 3537The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the 3538firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in 3539``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from 3540there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference 3541to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver 3542to allow access to the image data. 3543 3544The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with 3545other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of 3546physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding 3547drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may 3548be deferred until the file-system device is initialised. 3549 3550The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated 3551by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of 3552dynamically allocating memory.
