Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00007Porting Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to a new platform involves making some
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01008mandatory 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
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +010016``include/plat/common/platform.h``. The firmware provides a default
Sandrine Bailleux7a53a912023-02-08 13:55:51 +010017implementation 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.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010028
Sandrine Bailleux2cea7942023-04-04 16:36:08 +020029Please 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
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010036Some 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
Sandrine Bailleuxdad35612022-11-08 13:36:42 +010040Please refer to the :ref:`Platform Ports Policy` for the policy regarding
41compatibility and deprecation of these porting interfaces.

Antonio Nino Diaz645feb42019-02-13 14:07:38 +000043Only 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
Sandrine Bailleux8a1c0d62023-02-08 14:01:18 +010048propose a patch that moves the code to ``plat/common`` so that it can be
Antonio Nino Diaz645feb42019-02-13 14:07:38 +000049discussed.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010051Common 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
Sandrine Bailleux6d981f72023-02-08 14:02:45 +010064across platforms. A memory translation library (see ``lib/xlat_tables_v2/``) is
Sandrine Bailleux1861b7a2017-07-20 16:11:01 +010065provided 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
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000072Also, 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.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010075
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000076In Arm standard platforms, each BL stage configures the MMU in the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010077platform-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
Chris Kay33bfc5e2023-02-14 11:30:04 +000083memory 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
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010085possible for the firmware to place variables in it using the following C code
86directive:
87
88::
89
Chris Kay33bfc5e2023-02-14 11:30:04 +000090 __section(".bakery_lock")
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010091
92Or alternatively the following assembler code directive:
93
94::
95
Chris Kay33bfc5e2023-02-14 11:30:04 +000096 .section .bakery_lock
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010097
Chris Kay33bfc5e2023-02-14 11:30:04 +000098The ``.coherent_ram`` section is a sum of all sections like ``.bakery_lock`` which are
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010099used 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.

109~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100110
111Each platform must ensure that a header file of this name is in the system
Antonio Nino Diaz50a4d1a2019-02-01 12:22:22 +0000112include path with the following constants defined. This will require updating
113the list of ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` in the ``platform.mk`` file.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100114
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +0100115Platform ports may optionally use the file ``include/plat/common/common_def.h``,
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100116which provides typical values for some of the constants below. These values are
117likely to be suitable for all platform ports.
118
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100119- **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_FORMAT**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100120
121 Defines the linker format used by the platform, for example
122 ``elf64-littleaarch64``.
123
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100124- **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_ARCH**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100125
126 Defines the processor architecture for the linker by the platform, for
127 example ``aarch64``.
128
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100129- **#define : PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100130
131 Defines the normal stack memory available to each CPU. This constant is used
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +0100132 by ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` and
133 ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S``.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100134
David Horstmann051fd6d2020-11-12 15:19:04 +0000135- **#define : CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100136
Max Yufa0b4e82022-09-08 23:21:21 +0000137 Defines the size in bytes of the largest cache line across all the cache
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100138 levels in the platform.
139
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100140- **#define : FIRMWARE_WELCOME_STR**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100141
142 Defines the character string printed by BL1 upon entry into the ``bl1_main()``
143 function.
144
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100145- **#define : PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100146
147 Defines the total number of CPUs implemented by the platform across all
148 clusters in the system.
149
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100150- **#define : PLAT_NUM_PWR_DOMAINS**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100151
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
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100157- **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100158
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
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100167- **#define : PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100168
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
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100174 to specify the requested power state for a PSCI_CPU_OFF call.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100175
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100176- **#define : PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100177
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
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100180 a value less than PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE and greater than 0. It is used by the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100181 PSCI implementation to distinguish between retention and power down local
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100182 power states within PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND call.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100183
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100184- **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100185
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
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100193 the array used for PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY accounting.

645
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100646The following constant is optional. It should be defined to override the default
647behaviour of the ``assert()`` function (for example, to save memory).

651 ``assert()`` prints the name of the file, the line number and the asserted
652 expression. Else if it is higher than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it prints the file
653 name and the line number. Else if it is lower than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it
654 doesn't print anything to the console. If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` isn't
655 defined, it defaults to ``LOG_LEVEL``.
656
Lucian Paul-Trifub93037a2022-06-22 18:45:36 +0100657If the platform port uses the DRTM feature, the following constants must be
658defined:
659
660- **#define : PLAT_DRTM_EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE**
661
662 Maximum Event Log size used by the platform. Platform can decide the maximum
663 size of the Event Log buffer, depending upon the highest hash algorithm
664 chosen and the number of components selected to measure during the DRTM
665 execution flow.
666
667- **#define : PLAT_DRTM_MMAP_ENTRIES**
668
669 Number of the MMAP entries used by the DRTM implementation to calculate the
670 size of address map region of the platform.

673~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100674
675Each platform must ensure a file of this name is in the system include path with
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000676the following macro defined. In the Arm development platforms, this file is
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100677found in ``plat/arm/board/<plat_name>/include/plat_macros.S``.
678
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100679- **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100680
681 This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform
682 registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging
683 and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not
684 desired.
685
686 For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for
687 troubleshooting.
688
689Handling Reset
690--------------
691
692BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold
693or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the
694``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable.
695
696For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks:
697
698#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot.
699
700#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that
701 the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU
702 performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state.
703
704#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform-
705 specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was
706 when released from reset.
707
708The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
709reset vector code to perform the above tasks.
710
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100711Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0]
712~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100713
714::
715
716 Argument : void
717 Return : uintptr_t
718
719This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled
720(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for
721distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using
722platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm
723reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during
724BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero.
725
726This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000727Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100728not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this
729function.
730
731This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above.
732
733Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is
734expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address,
735both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the
736type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing
737this function is not required on such platforms.
738
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100739Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100741
742::
743
744 Argument : void
745
746This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible
747for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the
748primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and
749allow entry into the OS. This function must not return.
750
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000751In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100752itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs
753when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead,
754they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets
755populated.
756
757This function fulfills requirement 2 above.
758
759Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
760primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this
761function is not required on such platforms.
762
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100763Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100765
766::
767
768 Argument : void
769 Return : unsigned int
770
771This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a
772secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the
773primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the
774primary CPU.
775
776Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
777primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to
778distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is
779not required.
780
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100781Function : platform_mem_init() [mandatory]
782~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100783
784::
785
786 Argument : void
787 Return : void
788
789This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in
790order to carry out any essential memory initialization.
791
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100792Function: plat_get_rotpk_info()
793~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100794
795::
796
797 Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int *
798 Return : int
799
800This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a
801pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length.
802The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1
803structure:
804
805::
806
807 AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
808 algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
809 parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
810 }
811
812 SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
813 algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
814 subjectPublicKey BIT STRING
815 }
816
817In case the function returns a hash of the key:
818
819::
820
821 DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
822 digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
823 digest OCTET STRING
824 }
825
826The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the
827Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related
828to the ROTPK in the flags parameter:
829
830::
831
832 ROTPK_IS_HASH : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a
833 hash.
834 ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK
835 verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed.
836 When this flag is set, the function does not need to
837 return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication
838 framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without
839 verifying it against the platform value. This flag
840 must not be used in a deployed production environment.
841
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100842Function: plat_get_nv_ctr()
843~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100844
845::
846
847 Argument : void *, unsigned int *
848 Return : int
849
850This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the
851non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The
852cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the
853platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default
854TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100855TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID).
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100856
857The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
858not be retrieved from the platform.
859
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100860Function: plat_set_nv_ctr()

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100862
863::
864
865 Argument : void *, unsigned int
866 Return : int
867
868This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new
869counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100870select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100871the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter.
872
873The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
874not be updated.
875
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100876Function: plat_set_nv_ctr2()

879::
880
881 Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int
882 Return : int
883
884This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this
885interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The
886first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to
887differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV
888Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image
889descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be
890updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to
891be written to the NV counter.
892
893The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value
894either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates
895that it is not allowed to be updated.

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

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001077Common mandatory function modifications
1078---------------------------------------
1079
1080The following functions are mandatory functions which need to be implemented
1081by the platform port.
1082
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001083Function : plat_my_core_pos()

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001085
1086::
1087
1088 Argument : void
1089 Return : unsigned int
1090
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00001091This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001092CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
1093per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
1094initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00001095implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001096runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
1097x9 - x29.
1098
1099This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001100PSCI and details of this can be found in
1101:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.

Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001103Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
1104~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001105
1106::
1107
1108 Argument : u_register_t
1109 Return : int
1110
1111This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
1112which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
1113case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
1114be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001115utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
1116represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU

Ambroise Vincentd207f562019-04-10 12:50:27 +01001119Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
1120~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1121
1122::
1123
1124 Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
1125 Return : int
1126
1127This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
1128by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
1129internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
1130must be able to provide a heap to it.
1131
1132A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
1133which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
1134(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
1135the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
1136For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
1137from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
1138
1139However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
1140optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
1141shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
1142twice.
1143
1144On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1145
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +05301146Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]
1147~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1148
1149::
1150
1151 Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key,
1152 size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
1153 size_t img_id_len
1154 Return : int
1155
1156This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
1157fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
1158firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
1159implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
1160trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
1161
1162It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
1163actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
1164secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
1165flag must be set in ``flags``.
1166
1167In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
1168symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
1169
1170On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1171
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +01001172Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.

Sughosh Ganuf40154f2021-11-17 17:08:10 +05301179 Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata
Manish V Badarkheda87af12021-06-20 21:14:46 +01001180 Return : void
1181
1182This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
1183It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
1184non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
1185FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
1186image specification information.
1187Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
1188images rely on this function call.
1189
1190In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
1191container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
1192
1193Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1194~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1195
1196::
1197
1198 Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
1199 uintptr_t *image_spec
1200 Return : int
1201
1202This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
1203responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
1204image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
1205be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
1206
1207FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
1208to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
1209statically in I/O policy.
1210For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
1211partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
1212that needs to be parsed dynamically.
1213This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
1214the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
1215Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
1216image relies on this function call.
1217
1218It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
1219Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
1220of the requested FWU metadata image.
1221
Sughosh Ganu4e336a62021-12-01 15:53:32 +05301222Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1223~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1224
1225::
1226
1227 Argument : void
1228 Return : uint32_t
1229
1230This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
1231means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
1232bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
1233
1234By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
1235the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
1236reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
1237resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
1238from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
1239should boot its images from.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001241Common optional modifications
1242-----------------------------
1243
1244The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
1245common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these
1246definitions.
1247

1251::
1252
1253 Argument : void
1254 Return : void
1255
1256This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that
1257has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1258stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1259of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1260constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1261
1262Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001263provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and

1273
1274This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that

1287::
1288
1289 Argument : unsigned int
1290 Return : void
1291
1292A platform may need to report various information about its status when an
1293exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security
1294state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1295called in the following circumstances:
1296
1297- In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1298- In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1299
1300The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1301about the way the platform displays its status information.
1302
1303For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1304Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001305``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001306related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001307
1308For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.
1309Possible values for exception modes are listed in the
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001310``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file.

1320A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function
Paul Beesleyf2ec7142019-10-04 16:17:46 +00001321allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00001322specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001323preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29.
1324
1325The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001326the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general

John Tsichritzis6dda9762018-07-23 09:18:04 +01001337This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001338present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation
John Tsichritzis6dda9762018-07-23 09:18:04 +01001339doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence,
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001340it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as
1341scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used
1342by the caller to store the return address.

1352This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from
1353which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or
1354recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return.
1355
1356The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``.
1357Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
1358
1359- ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted
1360 Board Boot is enabled)
1361- ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO
1362 error was detected
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001363- ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this
1364 error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size

Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001433when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001434value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right
1435value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a
1436true random number.

Paul Beesleyba3ed402019-03-13 16:20:44 +00001438.. warning::
1439 For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at
1440 a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an
1441 attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001528Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage
1529---------------------------------------------
1530
1531Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1532-------------------------
1533
1534BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1535warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1536
1537#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1538
1539#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1540 only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1541 control to the BL2 stage.
1542
1543#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1544
1545#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1546 address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1547
1548#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1549 accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1550
1551 ::
1552
1553 meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2
1554 meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001555
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01001556 By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure
1557 memory visible to BL2.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001558
Soby Mathewb1bf0442018-02-16 14:52:52 +00001559 It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1560 ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1561 BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1562 ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001563
1564The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
1565BL1 to perform the above tasks.

1683This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1684
1685BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1686loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1687with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1688returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1689
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001690The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001691platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and

1760 Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
1761 unsigned int flags
1762 Return : int
1763
1764BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1765copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1766region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1767that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1768indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1769
1770This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1771``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1772overflow.
1773
1774This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1775
1776The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1777override it when using the FWU feature.
1778
1779Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2)
1780-------------------------
1781
1782The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1783using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01001784``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1785``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1786non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1787then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1788images to be passed to the next BL image.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001789

1911--------------------------------
1912
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001913When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump
1914directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001915execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design`
1916document for more information.
Roberto Vargasb1584272017-11-20 13:36:10 +00001917
1918All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001919bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because

1978------------------------------
1979
1980The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
1981process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
1982``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
1983
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001984#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
1985 memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
1986 ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
1987 should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001988 implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
1989 If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
1990
1991#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001992 example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the

2067Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
2068----------------------------
2069
2070During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
2071determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
2072control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
2073CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
2074
2075#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
2076 some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
2077 that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
2078 should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
2079
2080#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01002081 specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002083
2084#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a

Boyan Karatotev907d38b2022-11-22 12:01:09 +00002086 service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002087 implementation.

Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002090 specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002091 services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01002092 executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the

2176
2177 - Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2178 - Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2179 - Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2180 to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2181 - Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2182 - Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.

2359accommodate all the bakery locks.
2360
2361If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
Chris Kay33bfc5e2023-02-14 11:30:04 +00002362calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002363nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2364and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2365from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2366accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2367
2368If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2369calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2370assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache

2504a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2505*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2506*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2507is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2508example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2509logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2510CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2511example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its

2514BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2515power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2516correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2517PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2518power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2519CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2520handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2521
2522The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2523describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
Antonio Nino Diaz56b68ad2019-02-28 13:35:21 +00002524defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002525array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2526level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2527level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2528convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2529passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2530
2531The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.

2543``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2544differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at

2576
2577This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2578state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2579domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2580all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2581invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2582identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2583argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2584The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2585power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2586CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2587for that power domain.

2595 Return : plat_local_state_t
2596
2597The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2598state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2599a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2600argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2601power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2602is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2603a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2604states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2605power states.
2606
2607A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2608that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2609of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2610then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2611coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2612of the requested local power state values.

Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002624described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2625initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2626statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2627the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2628plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2629description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2630form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.

2640This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2641port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2642called by the primary CPU.
2643
2644This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2645the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2646``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2647platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2648pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2649
2650A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002651the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002652``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002653platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2654structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002655:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002656function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002657structure instead of providing an empty implementation.

Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002664wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002665For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
2666the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
2667STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
2668handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
2669issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
2670state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.

2681
2682This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
2683powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
2684indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
2685
2686The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
2687for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
2688
2689For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
2690power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
2691for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
2692coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
2693platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.

2701
2702The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
2703for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
2704needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
2705at each power level.
2706
2707For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a

2715This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build
2716option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled.
2717
2718If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific
2719validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to
2720return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
2721PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.

Varun Wadekarae87f4b2017-07-10 16:02:05 -07002725
2726This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
2727or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
2728are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
2729calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
2730that data caches are enabled.
2731
2732When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
2733before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
2734power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
2735specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
2736efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
2737= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
2738moving platform specific actions to this function.

2743Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
2744CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
2745``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2746API implementation.
2747
2748The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
2749the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
2750target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
2751power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
2752corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
2753expects the handler to succeed.
2754
Douglas Raillarda84996b2017-08-02 16:57:32 +01002755The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
2756in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
2757when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
2758case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
2759execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002760``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
2761
Douglas Raillarda84996b2017-08-02 16:57:32 +01002762When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
2763Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
2764this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
2765implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
2766sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
2767the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
2768Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
2769Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
2770is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
2771defined sequence.
2772
2773When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
2774``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
2775it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
2776system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
2777allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
2778data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
2779implementation-defined sequence.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002783
2784This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
2785platform specific actions including the ``wfi`` invocation which allows the
2786CPU to powerdown. Since this function is invoked outside the PSCI locks,
2787the actions performed in this hook must be local to the CPU or the platform
2788must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot occur.
2789
2790The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
2791operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
2792the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. This function must
Boyan Karatotev43771f32022-10-05 13:41:56 +01002793not return back to the caller (by calling wfi in an infinite loop to ensure
2794some CPUs power down mitigations work properly).

2807
2808The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
2809immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains

2861This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2862call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
2863populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
2864specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01002865return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002879
2880This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
2881call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
2882domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
2883``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
2884``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
2885enter system suspend.

2892``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
2893``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
2894supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
2895``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
2896local power states.

2901This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
2902(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
2903domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
2904argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
2905level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
2906populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
2907is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
2908envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
2909targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01002910domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002911function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
2912``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
2913
2914This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01002915power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002920
2921This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
2922the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
2923the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
2924as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
2925Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
2926status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
2927must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
2928appropriate.
2929
2930Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than

2938based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
2939`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
2940reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
2941function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
2942resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002973Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
2974----------------------------------------
2975
2976BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
2977generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
2978state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002979described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002980
2981A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002982text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002983platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002984present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
2985`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
2986and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
2987FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01002988``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more

Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00003001The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003002interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3003controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3004either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3005the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3006from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3007
3008The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01003009:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3010interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3011execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``

3164This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3165``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3166interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3167returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3168IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003171and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3172corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3173(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3174

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003218Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3219-----------------------------------
3220
3221BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
Antonio Nino Diaz4bac0452018-10-16 14:32:34 +01003222of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00003223on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
Antonio Nino Diaz4bac0452018-10-16 14:32:34 +01003224``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3225
3226The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3227implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3228makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
Julius Werneraae9bb12017-09-18 16:49:48 -07003229output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3230consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3231used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
Paul Beesleyba3ed402019-03-13 16:20:44 +00003232
3233.. note::
3234 Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3235 use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3236 in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3237 (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003238
Julius Werneraae9bb12017-09-18 16:49:48 -07003239In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3240normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
Julius Werner1338c9c2018-11-19 14:25:55 -08003241more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3242these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3243console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3244that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3245for an example of this.

3299 Return : void
3300
3301This function is invoked by the RAS framework for the platform to handle an
3302External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the function is to attempt to
3303resolve the cause of External Abort and return; if that's not possible, to
3304initiate orderly shutdown of the system.
3305
3306The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3307Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3308
3309The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3310presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3311nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3312can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3313
3314The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3315(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3316(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3317are received from the top-level exception handler.
3318
Manish Pandeyd419e222023-02-13 12:39:17 +00003319If ``RAS_FFH_SUPPORT`` is set to ``1``, the default implementation of this

Manish Pandeyd419e222023-02-13 12:39:17 +00003323If ``RAS_FFH_SUPPORT`` is set to ``0``, or if none of the platform RAS handlers
Jeenu Viswambharanbf235bc2018-07-12 10:00:01 +01003324could resolve the External Abort, the default implementation prints an error

3390
3391 Argument : uint64_t

3393 Return : int
3394
3395This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3396system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3397platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3398emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3399
3400The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3401syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3402information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3403
3404The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3405lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3406was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3407register.
3408
3409The return value indicates how to proceed:
3410
3411- When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3412- When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3413 to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3414- When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3415 to the next instruction.
3416
3417This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.

3430It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3431registers choosing to program bits of their choice.
3432
3433The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3434syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3435
3436The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3437lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction

3445- When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003451Build flags
3452-----------
3453
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003454There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3455inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3456need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3457build system.
3458
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01003459- **NEED_BL33**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003460 By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3461 build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3462 option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3463 to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3464 are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.

3467----------------------
3468
3469Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3470The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3471particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3472

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003479C Library
3480---------
3481
3482To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3483by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3484to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00003485required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3486contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3487more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3488added to the local implementation.

3498Storage abstraction layer
3499-------------------------
3500
Louis Mayencourtb5469002019-07-15 13:56:03 +01003501In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3502layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3503storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3504``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.

Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00003508It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003509development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01003510the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3511The storage layer is described in the header file
3512``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3513in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003514``drivers/io/``.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003518Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3519``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3520function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3521implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3522
Louis Mayencourtb5469002019-07-15 13:56:03 +01003523Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3524abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3525phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.

3529The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3530initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.

3534The basic operations supported by the layer
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003535include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3536Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3537provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3538operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3539
3540The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3541firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
Antonio Nino Diaz645feb42019-02-13 14:07:38 +00003542``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003543there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3544to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3545to allow access to the image data.
3546
3547The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3548other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3549physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3550drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3551be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3552
3553The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3554by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3555dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3556amount of open resources per driver.
