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
17implementation of variables and functions to fulfill the optional requirements.
18These implementations are all weakly defined; they are provided to ease the
19porting effort. Each platform port can override them with its own implementation
20if the default implementation is inadequate.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010022Some modifications are common to all Boot Loader (BL) stages. Section 2
23discusses these in detail. The subsequent sections discuss the remaining
24modifications for each BL stage in detail.
25
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +010026Please refer to the :ref:`Platform Compatibility Policy` for the policy
27regarding compatibility and deprecation of these porting interfaces.

Antonio Nino Diaz645feb42019-02-13 14:07:38 +000029Only Arm development platforms (such as FVP and Juno) may use the
30functions/definitions in ``include/plat/arm/common/`` and the corresponding
31source files in ``plat/arm/common/``. This is done so that there are no
32dependencies between platforms maintained by different people/companies. If you
33want to use any of the functionality present in ``plat/arm`` files, please
34create a pull request that moves the code to ``plat/common`` so that it can be
35discussed.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010037Common modifications
38--------------------
39
40This section covers the modifications that should be made by the platform for
41each BL stage to correctly port the firmware stack. They are categorized as
42either mandatory or optional.
43
44Common mandatory modifications
45------------------------------
46
47A platform port must enable the Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as the
48instruction and data caches for each BL stage. Setting up the translation
49tables is the responsibility of the platform port because memory maps differ
50across platforms. A memory translation library (see ``lib/xlat_tables/``) is
Sandrine Bailleux1861b7a2017-07-20 16:11:01 +010051provided to help in this setup.
52
53Note that although this library supports non-identity mappings, this is intended
54only for re-mapping peripheral physical addresses and allows platforms with high
55I/O addresses to reduce their virtual address space. All other addresses
56corresponding to code and data must currently use an identity mapping.
57
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000058Also, the only translation granule size supported in TF-A is 4KB, as various
59parts of the code assume that is the case. It is not possible to switch to
6016 KB or 64 KB granule sizes at the moment.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010061
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +000062In Arm standard platforms, each BL stage configures the MMU in the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010063platform-specific architecture setup function, ``blX_plat_arch_setup()``, and uses
64an identity mapping for all addresses.
65
66If the build option ``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` is enabled, each platform can allocate a
67block of identity mapped secure memory with Device-nGnRE attributes aligned to
68page boundary (4K) for each BL stage. All sections which allocate coherent
69memory are grouped under ``coherent_ram``. For ex: Bakery locks are placed in a
70section identified by name ``bakery_lock`` inside ``coherent_ram`` so that its
71possible for the firmware to place variables in it using the following C code
72directive:
73
74::
75
76 __section("bakery_lock")
77
78Or alternatively the following assembler code directive:
79
80::
81
82 .section bakery_lock
83
84The ``coherent_ram`` section is a sum of all sections like ``bakery_lock`` which are
85used to allocate any data structures that are accessed both when a CPU is
86executing with its MMU and caches enabled, and when it's running with its MMU
87and caches disabled. Examples are given below.
88
89The following variables, functions and constants must be defined by the platform
90for the firmware to work correctly.

95~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +010096
97Each platform must ensure that a header file of this name is in the system
Antonio Nino Diaz50a4d1a2019-02-01 12:22:22 +000098include path with the following constants defined. This will require updating
99the list of ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` in the ``platform.mk`` file.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100100
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +0100101Platform ports may optionally use the file ``include/plat/common/common_def.h``,
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100102which provides typical values for some of the constants below. These values are
103likely to be suitable for all platform ports.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100106
107 Defines the linker format used by the platform, for example
108 ``elf64-littleaarch64``.
109

Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100115- **#define : PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100116
117 Defines the normal stack memory available to each CPU. This constant is used
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +0100118 by ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` and
119 ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S``.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100120
David Horstmann051fd6d2020-11-12 15:19:04 +0000121- **#define : CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100122
Max Yufa0b4e82022-09-08 23:21:21 +0000123 Defines the size in bytes of the largest cache line across all the cache
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100124 levels in the platform.
125
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100126- **#define : FIRMWARE_WELCOME_STR**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100127
128 Defines the character string printed by BL1 upon entry into the ``bl1_main()``
129 function.
130
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100131- **#define : PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100132
133 Defines the total number of CPUs implemented by the platform across all
134 clusters in the system.
135
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100136- **#define : PLAT_NUM_PWR_DOMAINS**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100137
138 Defines the total number of nodes in the power domain topology
139 tree at all the power domain levels used by the platform.
140 This macro is used by the PSCI implementation to allocate
141 data structures to represent power domain topology.
142
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100143- **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100144
145 Defines the maximum power domain level that the power management operations
146 should apply to. More often, but not always, the power domain level
147 corresponds to affinity level. This macro allows the PSCI implementation
148 to know the highest power domain level that it should consider for power
149 management operations in the system that the platform implements. For
150 example, the Base AEM FVP implements two clusters with a configurable
151 number of CPUs and it reports the maximum power domain level as 1.
152
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100153- **#define : PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100154
155 Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest power down
156 possible at every power domain level in the platform. The local power
157 states for each level may be sparsely allocated between 0 and this value
158 with 0 being reserved for the RUN state. The PSCI implementation uses this
159 value to initialize the local power states of the power domain nodes and
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100160 to specify the requested power state for a PSCI_CPU_OFF call.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100161
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100162- **#define : PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100163
164 Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest retention state
165 possible at every power domain level in the platform. This macro should be
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100166 a value less than PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE and greater than 0. It is used by the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100167 PSCI implementation to distinguish between retention and power down local
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100168 power states within PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND call.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100169
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100170- **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100171
172 Defines the maximum number of local power states per power domain level
173 that the platform supports. The default value of this macro is 2 since
174 most platforms just support a maximum of two local power states at each
175 power domain level (power-down and retention). If the platform needs to
176 account for more local power states, then it must redefine this macro.
177
178 Currently, this macro is used by the Generic PSCI implementation to size
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100179 the array used for PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY accounting.

243 Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31 image can occupy.
244
245For every image, the platform must define individual identifiers that will be
246used by BL1 or BL2 to load the corresponding image into memory from non-volatile
247storage. For the sake of performance, integer numbers will be used as

Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100574- **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100575
576 This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform
577 registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging
578 and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not
579 desired.
580
581 For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for
582 troubleshooting.
583
584Handling Reset
585--------------
586
587BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold
588or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the
589``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable.
590
591For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks:
592
593#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot.
594
595#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that
596 the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU
597 performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state.
598
599#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform-
600 specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was
601 when released from reset.
602
603The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
604reset vector code to perform the above tasks.
605
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100606Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0]
607~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100608
609::
610
611 Argument : void
612 Return : uintptr_t
613
614This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled
615(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for
616distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using
617platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm
618reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during
619BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero.
620
621This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000622Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100623not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this
624function.
625
626This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above.
627
628Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is
629expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address,
630both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the
631type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing
632this function is not required on such platforms.
633
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100634Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]

637::
638
639 Argument : void
640
641This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible
642for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the
643primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and
644allow entry into the OS. This function must not return.
645
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000646In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100647itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs
648when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead,
649they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets
650populated.
651
652This function fulfills requirement 2 above.
653
654Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
655primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this
656function is not required on such platforms.
657
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100658Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
659~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100660
661::
662
663 Argument : void
664 Return : unsigned int
665
666This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a
667secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the
668primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the
669primary CPU.
670
671Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
672primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to
673distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is
674not required.

679::
680
681 Argument : void
682 Return : void
683
684This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in
685order to carry out any essential memory initialization.
686
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100687Function: plat_get_rotpk_info()
688~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100689
690::
691
692 Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int *
693 Return : int
694
695This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a
696pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length.
697The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1
698structure:
699
700::
701
702 AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
703 algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
704 parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
705 }
706
707 SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
708 algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
709 subjectPublicKey BIT STRING
710 }
711
712In case the function returns a hash of the key:
713
714::
715
716 DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
717 digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
718 digest OCTET STRING
719 }
720
721The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the
722Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related
723to the ROTPK in the flags parameter:
724
725::
726
727 ROTPK_IS_HASH : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a
728 hash.
729 ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK
730 verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed.
731 When this flag is set, the function does not need to
732 return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication
733 framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without
734 verifying it against the platform value. This flag
735 must not be used in a deployed production environment.
736
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100737Function: plat_get_nv_ctr()

740::
741
742 Argument : void *, unsigned int *
743 Return : int
744
745This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the
746non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The
747cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the
748platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default
749TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100750TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID).
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100751
752The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
753not be retrieved from the platform.

758::
759
760 Argument : void *, unsigned int
761 Return : int
762
763This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new
764counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100765select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100766the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter.
767
768The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
769not be updated.

774::
775
776 Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int
777 Return : int
778
779This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this
780interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The
781first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to
782differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV
783Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image
784descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be
785updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to
786be written to the NV counter.
787
788The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value
789either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates
790that it is not allowed to be updated.
791
792Common mandatory function modifications
793---------------------------------------
794
795The following functions are mandatory functions which need to be implemented
796by the platform port.
797
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +0100798Function : plat_my_core_pos()
799~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100800
801::
802
803 Argument : void
804 Return : unsigned int
805
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +0000806This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100807CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
808per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
809initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +0000810implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +0100811runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
812x9 - x29.
813
814This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +0100815PSCI and details of this can be found in
816:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.

821::
822
823 Argument : u_register_t
824 Return : int
825
826This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
827which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
828case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
829be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +0000830utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
831represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU

Ambroise Vincentd207f562019-04-10 12:50:27 +0100834Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
835~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
836
837::
838
839 Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
840 Return : int
841
842This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
843by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
844internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
845must be able to provide a heap to it.
846
847A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
848which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
849(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
850the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
851For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
852from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
853
854However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
855optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
856shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
857twice.
858
859On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.

Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530861Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]

867 size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
868 size_t img_id_len
869 Return : int
870
871This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
872fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
873firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
874implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
875trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
876
877It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
878actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
879secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
880flag must be set in ``flags``.
881
882In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
883symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
884
885On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.

896
897This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
898It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
899non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
900FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
901image specification information.
902Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
903images rely on this function call.
904
905In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
906container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.

912
913 Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
914 uintptr_t *image_spec
915 Return : int
916
917This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
918responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
919image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
920be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
921
922FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
923to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
924statically in I/O policy.
925For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
926partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
927that needs to be parsed dynamically.
928This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
929the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
930Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
931image relies on this function call.
932
933It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
934Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
935of the requested FWU metadata image.
936
Sughosh Ganu4e336a62021-12-01 15:53:32 +0530937Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
938~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
939
940::
941
942 Argument : void
943 Return : uint32_t
944
945This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
946means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
947bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
948
949By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
950the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
951reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
952resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
953from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
954should boot its images from.

958
959The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
960common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these

1009state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1010called in the following circumstances:
1011
1012- In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1013- In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1014
1015The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1016about the way the platform displays its status information.
1017
1018For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1019Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01001020``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001021related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001022
1023For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.

1253Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1254-------------------------
1255
1256BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1257warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1258
1259#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1260
1261#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1262 only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1263 control to the BL2 stage.
1264
1265#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1266
1267#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1268 address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1269
1270#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1271 accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1272

1274
1275 meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2

Soby Mathewb1bf0442018-02-16 14:52:52 +00001281 It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1282 ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1283 BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1284 ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001285

1401
1402 Argument : void
1403 Return : unsigned int
1404
1405This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1406
1407BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1408loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1409with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1410returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1411
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001412The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001413platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and
1414if so, return the first image in the firmware update process.

1423
1424BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t``
1425for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform.
1426
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001427The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001428standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of
1429the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements

1484 Return : int
1485
1486BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1487copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1488region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1489that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1490indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1491
1492This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1493``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1494overflow.
1495
1496This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1497
1498The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1499override it when using the FWU feature.

1538-------------------------
1539
1540The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1541using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01001542``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1543``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1544non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1545then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1546images to be passed to the next BL image.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001547
1548The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2

1706
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001707When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump

1772------------------------------
1773
1774The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
1775process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
1776``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
1777
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01001778#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
1779 memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
1780 ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
1781 should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001782 implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
1783 If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
1784
1785#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00001786 example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001787 normal world can access DDR memory.
1788
1789The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable
1790BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above.

1861Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
1862----------------------------
1863
1864During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
1865determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
1866control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
1867CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
1868
1869#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
1870 some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
1871 that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
1872 should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
1873
1874#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01001875 specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list
1876 populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001877
1878#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a
1879 subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime
1880 service. See Section 3.3 below for details of porting the PSCI
1881 implementation.
1882

Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00001884 specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001885 services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
Soby Mathew97b1bff2018-09-27 16:46:41 +01001886 executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the
1887 ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01001888

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002150
2151When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2152bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2153accommodate all the bakery locks.
2154
2155If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2156calculates the size of the ``bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2157nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2158and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2159from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2160accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2161
2162If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2163calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2164assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2165line boundary.

2290--------------------------------------------
2291
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002292The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2293*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2294share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2295specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2296a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2297*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2298*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2299is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2300example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2301logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2302CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2303example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002304organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002305
2306BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2307power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2308correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2309PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2310power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2311CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2312handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2313
2314The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2315describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
Antonio Nino Diaz56b68ad2019-02-28 13:35:21 +00002316defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002317array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2318level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2319level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2320convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2321passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2322
2323The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.

2333This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2334accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2335``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2336differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2337index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2338state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2339residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2340statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2341default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.

2351This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics

2368
2369This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2370state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2371domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2372all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2373invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2374identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2375argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2376The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2377power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2378CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2379for that power domain.

2385
2386 Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2387 Return : plat_local_state_t
2388
2389The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2390state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2391a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2392argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2393power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2394is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2395a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2396states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2397power states.
2398
2399A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2400that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2401of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2402then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2403coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2404of the requested local power state values.

Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002416described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2417initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2418statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2419the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2420plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2421description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2422form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.

2432This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2433port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2434called by the primary CPU.
2435
2436This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2437the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2438``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2439platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed

2441
2442A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002443the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002444``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002445platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2446structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002447:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002448function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002449structure instead of providing an empty implementation.

Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002456wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002457For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
2458the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
2459STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
2460handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
2461issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
2462state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.

2479for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
2480needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
2481at each power level.
2482
2483For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
2484power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
2485for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
2486coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.

Varun Wadekarae87f4b2017-07-10 16:02:05 -07002490
2491This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
2492or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
2493are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
2494calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
2495that data caches are enabled.
2496
2497When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
2498before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
2499power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
2500specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
2501efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
2502= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
2503moving platform specific actions to this function.

2508Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
2509CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
2510``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2511API implementation.
2512
2513The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
2514the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
2515target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
2516power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
2517corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
2518expects the handler to succeed.
2519
Douglas Raillarda84996b2017-08-02 16:57:32 +01002520The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
2521in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
2522when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
2523case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
2524execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002525``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
2526
Douglas Raillarda84996b2017-08-02 16:57:32 +01002527When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
2528Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
2529this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
2530implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
2531sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
2532the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
2533Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
2534Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
2535is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
2536defined sequence.
2537
2538When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
2539``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
2540it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
2541system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
2542allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
2543data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
2544implementation-defined sequence.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002548
2549This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
2550platform specific actions including the ``wfi`` invocation which allows the
2551CPU to powerdown. Since this function is invoked outside the PSCI locks,
2552the actions performed in this hook must be local to the CPU or the platform
2553must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot occur.
2554
2555The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
2556operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
2557the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. This function must
2558not return back to the caller.
2559
2560If this function is not implemented by the platform, PSCI generic
2561implementation invokes ``psci_power_down_wfi()`` for power down.

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002565
2566This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
2567powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
2568It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
2569this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
2570services.
2571
2572The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
2573immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
2574above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
2575low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.

2579
2580This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
2581CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
2582the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
2583function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
2584such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
2585overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.

2595event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
2596``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific

2665This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
2666(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
2667domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
2668argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
2669level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
2670populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
2671is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
2672envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
2673targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01002674domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this

2688as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
2689Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final

2691must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as

2738----------------------------------------
2739
2740BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
2741generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
2742state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
Paul Beesleyf8640672019-04-12 14:19:42 +01002743described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002744
2745A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002746text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002747platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00002748present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
2749`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
2750and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
2751FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01002752``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more

Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002766interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
2767controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
2768either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
2769the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
2770from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
2771
2772The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see

2944Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
2945-----------------------------------
2946
2947BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
Antonio Nino Diaz4bac0452018-10-16 14:32:34 +01002948of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
Paul Beesley1fbc97b2019-01-11 18:26:51 +00002949on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
Antonio Nino Diaz4bac0452018-10-16 14:32:34 +01002950``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
2951
2952The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
2953implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
2954makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
Julius Werneraae9bb12017-09-18 16:49:48 -07002955output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
2956consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
2957used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
Paul Beesleyba3ed402019-03-13 16:20:44 +00002958
2959.. note::
2960 Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
2961 use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
2962 in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
2963 (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01002964
Julius Werneraae9bb12017-09-18 16:49:48 -07002965In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
2966normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
Julius Werner1338c9c2018-11-19 14:25:55 -08002967more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
2968these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
2969console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
2970that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
2971for an example of this.

3026
3027This function is invoked by the RAS framework for the platform to handle an
3028External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the function is to attempt to
3029resolve the cause of External Abort and return; if that's not possible, to
3030initiate orderly shutdown of the system.
3031
3032The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3033Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3034
3035The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3036presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3037nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3038can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3039
3040The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3041(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3042(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3043are received from the top-level exception handler.
3044
3045If ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, the default implementation of this
3046function iterates through RAS handlers registered by the platform. If any of the
3047RAS handlers resolve the External Abort, no further action is taken.
3048
3049If ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``0``, or if none of the platform RAS handlers
3050could resolve the External Abort, the default implementation prints an error
3051message, and panics.

3113-----------
3114
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003115There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3116inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3117need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3118build system.
3119
Sandrine Bailleux8d1a0552019-02-08 14:44:53 +01003120- **NEED_BL33**
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003121 By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3122 build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3123 option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3124 to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3125 are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.

3128----------------------
3129
3130Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3131The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3132particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3133

3141---------
3142
3143To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3144by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3145to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00003146required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3147contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3148more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3149added to the local implementation.

Louis Mayencourtb5469002019-07-15 13:56:03 +01003162In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3163layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3164storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3165``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.

Dan Handley610e7e12018-03-01 18:44:00 +00003169It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003170development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01003171the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3172The storage layer is described in the header file
3173``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3174in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003175``drivers/io/``.
3176
Louis Mayencourtb5469002019-07-15 13:56:03 +01003177.. uml:: ../resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3178
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003179Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3180``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3181function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3182implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3183
Louis Mayencourtb5469002019-07-15 13:56:03 +01003184Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3185abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3186phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3187
3188.. uml:: ../resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3189
3190The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3191initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3192
3193.. uml:: ../resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3194
3195The basic operations supported by the layer
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003196include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3197Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3198provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3199operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3200
3201The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3202firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
Antonio Nino Diaz645feb42019-02-13 14:07:38 +00003203``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
Douglas Raillardd7c21b72017-06-28 15:23:03 +01003204there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3205to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3206to allow access to the image data.
3207
3208The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3209other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3210physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3211drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3212be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3213
3214The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3215by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3216dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3217amount of open resources per driver.
