Currently, TF-A supports three states for feature flags:
0: FEAT_DISABLED
1: FEAT_STATE_ALWAYS (for fixed/real platforms)
2: FEAT_STATE_CHECK (for configurable platforms)
to meet the feature detection requirements dynamically, mainly
targetting configurable/Fixed Virtual platforms.
With this mechanism in place, we are refactoring all the existing
feature flags to the FEAT_STATE_CHECK option(=2), including
FEAT_SVE explicitly for FVPs.
SVE Patch Reference:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/19888/25
This newly introduced change, breaks the existing behaviour especially
for virtual platforms, who have set the ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS flag to 1.
Moving ahead, we advise the platforms to take the following steps while
enabling the features:
1. If the platform is configurable (virtual), and want to ensure feature
detection happens dynamically at runtime, set the build flags to
FEAT_STATE_CHECK(=2).
2. For real(fixed) platforms, depending on the features supported by the
hardware and platform wants to enable it, platforms could set build
flags to FEAT_STATE_ALWAYS(=1).
(Note: Only the non-secure world enablement related build flags have
been refactored to take the values within 0 to 2. As earlier Secure
world enablement flags will still remain boolean.)
Henceforth, in order to keep it aligned with this tri-state mechanism,
changing the TC platform default to the now supported dynamic
option(=2), so the right decision can be made by the code at runtime.
