4Introduction
5------------

7Porting Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to a new platform involves making some
8mandatory and optional modifications for both the cold and warm boot paths.
9Modifications consist of:
10
11-  Implementing a platform-specific function or variable,
12-  Setting up the execution context in a certain way, or
13-  Defining certain constants (for example #defines).
14
15The platform-specific functions and variables are declared in
16``include/plat/common/platform.h``. The firmware provides a default
17implementation of variables and functions to fulfill the optional requirements
18in order to ease the porting effort. Each platform port can use them as is or
19provide their own implementation if the default implementation is inadequate.
20
21   .. note::
22
23      TF-A historically provided default implementations of platform interfaces
24      as *weak* functions. This practice is now discouraged and new platform
25      interfaces as they get introduced in the code base should be *strongly*
26      defined. We intend to convert existing weak functions over time. Until
27      then, you will find references to *weak* functions in this document.
28
29Please review the :ref:`Threat Model` documents as part of the porting
30effort. Some platform interfaces play a key role in mitigating against some of
31the threats. Failing to fulfill these expectations could undermine the security
32guarantees offered by TF-A. These platform responsibilities are highlighted in
33the threat assessment section, under the "`Mitigations implemented?`" box for
34each threat.
35
36Some modifications are common to all Boot Loader (BL) stages. Section 2
37discusses these in detail. The subsequent sections discuss the remaining
38modifications for each BL stage in detail.
39
40Please refer to the :ref:`Platform Ports Policy` for the policy regarding
41compatibility and deprecation of these porting interfaces.
42
43Only Arm development platforms (such as FVP and Juno) may use the
44functions/definitions in ``include/plat/arm/common/`` and the corresponding
45source files in ``plat/arm/common/``. This is done so that there are no
46dependencies between platforms maintained by different people/companies. If you
47want to use any of the functionality present in ``plat/arm`` files, please
48propose a patch that moves the code to ``plat/common`` so that it can be
49discussed.
50
51Common modifications
52--------------------
53
54This section covers the modifications that should be made by the platform for
55each BL stage to correctly port the firmware stack. They are categorized as
56either mandatory or optional.
57
58Common mandatory modifications
59------------------------------
60
61A platform port must enable the Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as the
62instruction and data caches for each BL stage. Setting up the translation
63tables is the responsibility of the platform port because memory maps differ
64across platforms. A memory translation library (see ``lib/xlat_tables_v2/``) is
65provided to help in this setup.
66
67Note that although this library supports non-identity mappings, this is intended
68only for re-mapping peripheral physical addresses and allows platforms with high
69I/O addresses to reduce their virtual address space. All other addresses
70corresponding to code and data must currently use an identity mapping.
71
72Also, the only translation granule size supported in TF-A is 4KB, as various
73parts of the code assume that is the case. It is not possible to switch to
7416 KB or 64 KB granule sizes at the moment.
75
76In Arm standard platforms, each BL stage configures the MMU in the
77platform-specific architecture setup function, ``blX_plat_arch_setup()``, and uses
78an identity mapping for all addresses.
79
80If the build option ``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` is enabled, each platform can allocate a
81block of identity mapped secure memory with Device-nGnRE attributes aligned to
82page boundary (4K) for each BL stage. All sections which allocate coherent
83memory are grouped under ``.coherent_ram``. For ex: Bakery locks are placed in a
84section identified by name ``.bakery_lock`` inside ``.coherent_ram`` so that its
85possible for the firmware to place variables in it using the following C code
86directive:
87
88::
89
90    __section(".bakery_lock")
91
92Or alternatively the following assembler code directive:
93
94::
95
96    .section .bakery_lock
97
98The ``.coherent_ram`` section is a sum of all sections like ``.bakery_lock`` which are
99used to allocate any data structures that are accessed both when a CPU is
100executing with its MMU and caches enabled, and when it's running with its MMU
101and caches disabled. Examples are given below.
102
103The following variables, functions and constants must be defined by the platform
104for the firmware to work correctly.
105
106.. _platform_def_mandatory:
107
108File : platform_def.h [mandatory]
109~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
110
111Each platform must ensure that a header file of this name is in the system
112include path with the following constants defined. This will require updating
113the list of ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` in the ``platform.mk`` file.
114
115Platform ports may optionally use the file ``include/plat/common/common_def.h``,
116which provides typical values for some of the constants below. These values are
117likely to be suitable for all platform ports.
118
119-  **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_FORMAT**
120
121   Defines the linker format used by the platform, for example
122   ``elf64-littleaarch64``.
123
124-  **#define : PLATFORM_LINKER_ARCH**
125
126   Defines the processor architecture for the linker by the platform, for
127   example ``aarch64``.
128
129-  **#define : PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE**
130
131   Defines the normal stack memory available to each CPU. This constant is used
132   by ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S`` and
133   ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S``.
134
135-  **#define : CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE**
136
137   Defines the size in bytes of the largest cache line across all the cache
138   levels in the platform.
139
140-  **#define : FIRMWARE_WELCOME_STR**
141
142   Defines the character string printed by BL1 upon entry into the ``bl1_main()``
143   function.
144
145-  **#define : PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT**
146
147   Defines the total number of CPUs implemented by the platform across all
148   clusters in the system.
149
150-  **#define : PLAT_NUM_PWR_DOMAINS**
151
152   Defines the total number of nodes in the power domain topology
153   tree at all the power domain levels used by the platform.
154   This macro is used by the PSCI implementation to allocate
155   data structures to represent power domain topology.
156
157-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL**
158
159   Defines the maximum power domain level that the power management operations
160   should apply to. More often, but not always, the power domain level
161   corresponds to affinity level. This macro allows the PSCI implementation
162   to know the highest power domain level that it should consider for power
163   management operations in the system that the platform implements. For
164   example, the Base AEM FVP implements two clusters with a configurable
165   number of CPUs and it reports the maximum power domain level as 1.
166
167-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE**
168
169   Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest power down
170   possible at every power domain level in the platform. The local power
171   states for each level may be sparsely allocated between 0 and this value
172   with 0 being reserved for the RUN state. The PSCI implementation uses this
173   value to initialize the local power states of the power domain nodes and
174   to specify the requested power state for a PSCI_CPU_OFF call.
175
176-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE**
177
178   Defines the local power state corresponding to the deepest retention state
179   possible at every power domain level in the platform. This macro should be
180   a value less than PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE and greater than 0. It is used by the
181   PSCI implementation to distinguish between retention and power down local
182   power states within PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND call.
183
184-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES**
185
186   Defines the maximum number of local power states per power domain level
187   that the platform supports. The default value of this macro is 2 since
188   most platforms just support a maximum of two local power states at each
189   power domain level (power-down and retention). If the platform needs to
190   account for more local power states, then it must redefine this macro.
191
192   Currently, this macro is used by the Generic PSCI implementation to size
193   the array used for PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY accounting.
194
195-  **#define : BL1_RO_BASE**
196
197   Defines the base address in secure ROM where BL1 originally lives. Must be
198   aligned on a page-size boundary.
199
200-  **#define : BL1_RO_LIMIT**
201
202   Defines the maximum address in secure ROM that BL1's actual content (i.e.
203   excluding any data section allocated at runtime) can occupy.
204
205-  **#define : BL1_RW_BASE**
206
207   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL1's read-write data will live
208   at runtime. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.
209
210-  **#define : BL1_RW_LIMIT**
211
212   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that BL1's read-write data can
213   occupy at runtime.
214
215-  **#define : BL2_BASE**
216
217   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL1 loads the BL2 binary image.
218   Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is not applicable
219   when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
220
221-  **#define : BL2_LIMIT**
222
223   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL2 image can occupy.
224   This constant is not applicable when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
225
226-  **#define : BL2_RO_BASE**
227
228   Defines the base address in secure XIP memory where BL2 RO section originally
229   lives. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is only needed
230   when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
231
232-  **#define : BL2_RO_LIMIT**
233
234   Defines the maximum address in secure XIP memory that BL2's actual content
235   (i.e. excluding any data section allocated at runtime) can occupy. This
236   constant is only needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
237
238-  **#define : BL2_RW_BASE**
239
240   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL2's read-write data will live
241   at runtime. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary. This constant is only
242   needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set to '1'.
243
244-  **#define : BL2_RW_LIMIT**
245
246   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that BL2's read-write data can
247   occupy at runtime. This constant is only needed when BL2_IN_XIP_MEM is set
248   to '1'.
249
250-  **#define : BL31_BASE**
251
252   Defines the base address in secure RAM where BL2 loads the BL31 binary
253   image. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.
254
255-  **#define : BL31_LIMIT**
256
257   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31 image can occupy.
258
259-  **#define : PLAT_RSE_COMMS_PAYLOAD_MAX_SIZE**
260
261   Defines the maximum message size between AP and RSE. Need to define if
262   platform supports RSE.
263
264For every image, the platform must define individual identifiers that will be
265used by BL1 or BL2 to load the corresponding image into memory from non-volatile
266storage. For the sake of performance, integer numbers will be used as
267identifiers. The platform will use those identifiers to return the relevant
268information about the image to be loaded (file handler, load address,
269authentication information, etc.). The following image identifiers are
270mandatory:
271
272-  **#define : BL2_IMAGE_ID**

423   certificate (mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled).
424
425-  **#define : BL32_BASE**

429
430-  **#define : BL32_LIMIT**
431
432   Defines the maximum address that the BL32 image can occupy.
433
434If the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) instantiation of BL32 is supported by the
435platform, the following constants must also be defined:
436
437-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE**
438
439   Defines the base address of the secure memory used by the TSP image on the
440   platform. This must be at the same address or below ``BL32_BASE``.
441
442-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE**
443
444   Defines the size of the secure memory used by the BL32 image on the
445   platform. ``TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE`` and ``TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE`` must fully
446   accommodate the memory required by the BL32 image, defined by ``BL32_BASE``
447   and ``BL32_LIMIT``.
448
449-  **#define : TSP_IRQ_SEC_PHY_TIMER**
450
451   Defines the ID of the secure physical generic timer interrupt used by the
452   TSP's interrupt handling code.
453
454If the platform port uses the translation table library code, the following
455constants must also be defined:
456
457-  **#define : PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC**
458
459   Optional flag that can be set per-image to enable the dynamic allocation of
460   regions even when the MMU is enabled. If not defined, only static
461   functionality will be available, if defined and set to 1 it will also
462   include the dynamic functionality.
463
464-  **#define : MAX_XLAT_TABLES**
465
466   Defines the maximum number of translation tables that are allocated by the
467   translation table library code. To minimize the amount of runtime memory
468   used, choose the smallest value needed to map the required virtual addresses
469   for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is enabled for a BL
470   image, ``MAX_XLAT_TABLES`` must be defined to accommodate the dynamic regions
471   as well.
472
473-  **#define : MAX_MMAP_REGIONS**
474
475   Defines the maximum number of regions that are allocated by the translation
476   table library code. A region consists of physical base address, virtual base
477   address, size and attributes (Device/Memory, RO/RW, Secure/Non-Secure), as
478   defined in the ``mmap_region_t`` structure. The platform defines the regions
479   that should be mapped. Then, the translation table library will create the
480   corresponding tables and descriptors at runtime. To minimize the amount of
481   runtime memory used, choose the smallest value needed to register the
482   required regions for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is
483   enabled for a BL image, ``MAX_MMAP_REGIONS`` must be defined to accommodate
484   the dynamic regions as well.
485
486-  **#define : PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
487
488   Defines the total size of the virtual address space in bytes. For example,
489   for a 32 bit virtual address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
490
491-  **#define : PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
492
493   Defines the total size of the physical address space in bytes. For example,
494   for a 32 bit physical address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
495
496If the platform port uses the IO storage framework, the following constants
497must also be defined:
498
499-  **#define : MAX_IO_DEVICES**
500
501   Defines the maximum number of registered IO devices. Attempting to register
502   more devices than this value using ``io_register_device()`` will fail with
503   -ENOMEM.
504
505-  **#define : MAX_IO_HANDLES**
506
507   Defines the maximum number of open IO handles. Attempting to open more IO
508   entities than this value using ``io_open()`` will fail with -ENOMEM.
509
510-  **#define : MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES**
511
512   Defines the maximum number of registered IO block devices. Attempting to
513   register more devices this value using ``io_dev_open()`` will fail
514   with -ENOMEM. MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be less than MAX_IO_DEVICES.
515   With this macro, multiple block devices could be supported at the same
516   time.
517
518If the platform needs to allocate data within the per-cpu data framework in
519BL31, it should define the following macro. Currently this is only required if
520the platform decides not to use the coherent memory section by undefining the
521``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` build flag. In this case, the framework allocates the
522required memory within the the per-cpu data to minimize wastage.
523
524-  **#define : PLAT_PCPU_DATA_SIZE**
525
526   Defines the memory (in bytes) to be reserved within the per-cpu data
527   structure for use by the platform layer.
528
529The following constants are optional. They should be defined when the platform
530memory layout implies some image overlaying like in Arm standard platforms.
531
532-  **#define : BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
533
534   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31's progbits sections
535   can occupy.
536
537-  **#define : TSP_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
538
539   Defines the maximum address that the TSP's progbits sections can occupy.
540
541If the platform supports OS-initiated mode, i.e. the build option
542``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, and if the platform's maximum power domain
543level for PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND differs from ``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``, the following
544constant must be defined.
545
546-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_CPU_SUSPEND_PWR_LVL**
547
548   Defines the maximum power domain level that PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND should apply to.
549
550If the platform port uses the PL061 GPIO driver, the following constant may
551optionally be defined:
552
553-  **PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS**
554   Maximum number of GPIOs required by the platform. This allows control how
555   much memory is allocated for PL061 GPIO controllers. The default value is
556
557   #. $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS))
558
559If the platform port uses the partition driver, the following constant may
560optionally be defined:
561
562-  **PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES**
563   Maximum number of partition entries required by the platform. This allows
564   control how much memory is allocated for partition entries. The default
565   value is 128.
566   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
567   PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES := 12
568   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES))
569
570-  **PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE**
571   The size of partition block. It could be either 512 bytes or 4096 bytes.
572   The default value is 512.
573   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
574   PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE := 4096
575   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE))
576
577If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver, the following
578configuration must be performed:
579
580- The NPU SiP service handler must be hooked up. This consists of both the
581  initial setup (``ethosn_smc_setup``) and the handler itself
582  (``ethosn_smc_handler``)
583
584If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver with TZMP1 support
585enabled, the following constants and configuration must also be defined:
586
587- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_FW_NSAID**
588
589  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use to
590  access the protected memory that contains the NPU's firmware.
591
592- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RW_NSAID**
593
594  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
595  read/write access to the protected memory that contains inference data.
596
597- **ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RO_NSAID**
598

608
609  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
610  read-only access to the non-protected memory.
611
612- **ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE** and **ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT**
613
614  Defines the physical address range that the NPU's firmware will be loaded
615  into and executed from.
616
617- Configure the platforms TrustZone Controller (TZC) with appropriate regions
618  of protected memory. At minimum this must include a region for the NPU's
619  firmware code and a region for protected inference data, and these must be
620  accessible using the NSAIDs defined above.
621
622- Include the NPU firmware and certificates in the FIP.
623
624- Provide FCONF entries to configure the image source for the NPU firmware
625  and certificates.
626
627- Add MMU mappings such that:
628
629 - BL2 can write the NPU firmware into the region defined by
630   ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE`` and ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT``
631 - BL31 (SiP service) can read the NPU firmware from the same region
632
633- Add the firmware image ID ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_ID`` to the list of images
634  loaded by BL2.
635
636Please see the reference implementation code for the Juno platform as an example.
637
638
639The following constant is optional. It should be defined to override the default
640behaviour of the ``assert()`` function (for example, to save memory).
641
642-  **PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT**
643   If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` is higher or equal than ``LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE``,
644   ``assert()`` prints the name of the file, the line number and the asserted
645   expression. Else if it is higher than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it prints the file
646   name and the line number. Else if it is lower than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it
647   doesn't print anything to the console. If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` isn't
648   defined, it defaults to ``LOG_LEVEL``.
649
650If the platform port uses the DRTM feature, the following constants must be
651defined:
652
653-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE**
654
655   Maximum Event Log size used by the platform. Platform can decide the maximum
656   size of the Event Log buffer, depending upon the highest hash algorithm
657   chosen and the number of components selected to measure during the DRTM
658   execution flow.
659
660-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_MMAP_ENTRIES**
661
662   Number of the MMAP entries used by the DRTM implementation to calculate the
663   size of address map region of the platform.
664
665File : plat_macros.S [mandatory]
666~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
667
668Each platform must ensure a file of this name is in the system include path with
669the following macro defined. In the Arm development platforms, this file is
670found in ``plat/arm/board/<plat_name>/include/plat_macros.S``.
671
672-  **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs**
673
674   This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform
675   registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging
676   and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not
677   desired.
678
679   For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for
680   troubleshooting.
681
682Handling Reset
683--------------
684
685BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold
686or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the
687``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable.
688
689For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks:
690
691#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot.
692
693#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that
694   the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU
695   performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state.
696
697#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform-
698   specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was
699   when released from reset.
700
701The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
702reset vector code to perform the above tasks.
703
704Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0]
705~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
706
707::
708
709    Argument : void
710    Return   : uintptr_t
711
712This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled
713(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for
714distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using
715platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm
716reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during
717BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero.
718
719This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the
720Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should
721not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this
722function.
723
724This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above.
725
726Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is
727expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address,
728both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the
729type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing
730this function is not required on such platforms.
731
732Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
733~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
734
735::
736
737    Argument : void
738
739This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible
740for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the
741primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and
742allow entry into the OS. This function must not return.
743
744In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers
745itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs
746when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead,
747they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets
748populated.
749
750This function fulfills requirement 2 above.
751
752Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
753primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this
754function is not required on such platforms.
755
756Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
757~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
758
759::
760
761    Argument : void
762    Return   : unsigned int
763
764This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a
765secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the
766primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the
767primary CPU.
768
769Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
770primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to
771distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is
772not required.
773
774Function : platform_mem_init() [mandatory]
775~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
776
777::
778
779    Argument : void
780    Return   : void
781
782This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in
783order to carry out any essential memory initialization.
784
785Function: plat_get_rotpk_info()
786~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
787
788::
789
790    Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int *
791    Return   : int
792
793This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a
794pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length.
795The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1
796structure:
797
798::
799
800    AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
801        algorithm         OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
802        parameters        ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
803    }
804
805    SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
806        algorithm         AlgorithmIdentifier,
807        subjectPublicKey  BIT STRING
808    }
809
810In case the function returns a hash of the key:
811
812::
813
814    DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
815        digestAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
816        digest            OCTET STRING
817    }
818
819The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the
820Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related
821to the ROTPK in the flags parameter:
822
823::
824
825    ROTPK_IS_HASH      : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a
826                         hash.
827    ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK
828                         verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed.
829                         When this flag is set, the function does not need to
830                         return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication
831                         framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without
832                         verifying it against the platform value. This flag
833                         must not be used in a deployed production environment.
834
835Function: plat_get_nv_ctr()
836~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
837
838::
839
840    Argument : void *, unsigned int *
841    Return   : int
842
843This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the
844non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The
845cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the
846platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default
847TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in
848TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID).
849
850The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
851not be retrieved from the platform.
852
853Function: plat_set_nv_ctr()
854~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
855
856::
857
858    Argument : void *, unsigned int
859    Return   : int
860
861This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new
862counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to
863select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is
864the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter.
865
866The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
867not be updated.
868
869Function: plat_set_nv_ctr2()
870~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
871
872::
873
874    Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int
875    Return   : int
876
877This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this
878interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The
879first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to
880differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV
881Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image
882descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be
883updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to
884be written to the NV counter.
885
886The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value
887either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates
888that it is not allowed to be updated.
889

926
927This function returns *true* if platform uses peripherals whose DMA is not
928managed by an SMMU, otherwise returns *false*.
929
930Note -
931If the platform has peripherals that are not managed by the SMMU, then the
932platform should investigate such peripherals to determine whether they can
933be trusted, and such peripherals should be moved under "Non-host platforms"
934if they can be trusted.

1100::
1101
1102    Argument : void
1103    Return   : unsigned int
1104
1105This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
1106CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
1107per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
1108initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
1109implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
1110runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
1111x9 - x29.
1112
1113This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
1114PSCI and details of this can be found in
1115:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1116
1117Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
1118~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1119
1120::
1121
1122    Argument : u_register_t
1123    Return   : int
1124
1125This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
1126which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
1127case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
1128be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
1129utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
1130represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU
1131index, please refer :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1132
1133Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
1134~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1135
1136::
1137
1138    Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
1139    Return    : int
1140
1141This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
1142by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
1143internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
1144must be able to provide a heap to it.
1145
1146A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
1147which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
1148(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
1149the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
1150For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
1151from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
1152
1153However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
1154optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
1155shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
1156twice.
1157
1158On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1159
1160Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]
1161~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1162
1163::
1164
1165    Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key,
1166                size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
1167                size_t img_id_len
1168    Return    : int
1169
1170This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
1171fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
1172firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
1173implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
1174trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
1175
1176It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
1177actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
1178secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
1179flag must be set in ``flags``.
1180
1181In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
1182symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
1183
1184On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1185
1186Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
1187
1188Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1189~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1190
1191::
1192
1193    Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata
1194    Return   : void
1195
1196This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
1197It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
1198non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
1199FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
1200image specification information.
1201Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
1202images rely on this function call.
1203
1204In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
1205container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
1206
1207Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1208~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1209
1210::
1211
1212    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
1213               uintptr_t *image_spec
1214    Return   : int
1215
1216This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
1217responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
1218image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
1219be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
1220
1221FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
1222to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
1223statically in I/O policy.
1224For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
1225partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
1226that needs to be parsed dynamically.
1227This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
1228the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
1229Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
1230image relies on this function call.
1231
1232It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
1233Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
1234of the requested FWU metadata image.
1235
1236Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1238
1239::
1240
1241    Argument : void
1242    Return   : uint32_t
1243
1244This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
1245means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
1246bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
1247
1248By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
1249the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
1250reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
1251resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
1252from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
1253should boot its images from.
1254
1255Common optional modifications
1256-----------------------------
1257
1258The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
1259common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these
1260definitions.
1261
1262Function : plat_set_my_stack()
1263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1264
1265::
1266
1267    Argument : void
1268    Return   : void
1269
1270This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that
1271has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1272stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1273of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1274constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1275
1276Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1277provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1278``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1279
1280Function : plat_get_my_stack()
1281~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1282
1283::
1284
1285    Argument : void
1286    Return   : uintptr_t
1287
1288This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that
1289has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1290stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1291of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1292constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1293
1294Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1295provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1296``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1297
1298Function : plat_report_exception()
1299~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1300
1301::
1302
1303    Argument : unsigned int
1304    Return   : void
1305
1306A platform may need to report various information about its status when an
1307exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security
1308state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1309called in the following circumstances:
1310
1311-  In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1312-  In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1313
1314The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1315about the way the platform displays its status information.
1316
1317For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1318Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
1319``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
1320related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
1321
1322For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.
1323Possible values for exception modes are listed in the
1324``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file.
1325
1326Function : plat_reset_handler()
1327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1328
1329::
1330
1331    Argument : void
1332    Return   : void
1333
1334A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function
1335allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform
1336specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should
1337preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29.
1338
1339The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override
1340the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general
1341guidelines.
1342
1343Function : plat_disable_acp()
1344~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1345
1346::
1347
1348    Argument : void
1349    Return   : void
1350
1351This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if
1352present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation
1353doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence,
1354it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as
1355scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used
1356by the caller to store the return address.
1357
1358Function : plat_error_handler()
1359~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1360
1361::
1362
1363    Argument : int
1364    Return   : void
1365
1366This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from
1367which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or
1368recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return.
1369
1370The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``.
1371Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
1372
1373-  ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted
1374   Board Boot is enabled)
1375-  ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO
1376   error was detected
1377-  ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this
1378   error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size
1379
1380The default implementation simply spins.
1381
1382Function : plat_panic_handler()
1383~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1384
1385::
1386
1387    Argument : void
1388    Return   : void
1389
1390This API is called when the generic code encounters an unexpected error
1391situation from which it cannot recover. This function must not return,
1392and must be implemented in assembly because it may be called before the C
1393environment is initialized.
1394
1395.. note::
1396   The address from where it was called is stored in x30 (Link Register).
1397   The default implementation simply spins.
1398
1399Function : plat_get_bl_image_load_info()
1400~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1401
1402::
1403
1404    Argument : void
1405    Return   : bl_load_info_t *
1406
1407This function returns pointer to the list of images that the platform has
1408populated to load. This function is invoked in BL2 to load the
1409BL3xx images.
1410
1411Function : plat_get_next_bl_params()
1412~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1413
1414::
1415
1416    Argument : void
1417    Return   : bl_params_t *
1418
1419This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the platform has
1420kept aside to pass TF-A related information that next BL image needs. This
1421function is invoked in BL2 to pass this information to the next BL
1422image.
1423
1424Function : plat_get_stack_protector_canary()
1425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1426
1427::
1428
1429    Argument : void
1430    Return   : u_register_t
1431
1432This function returns a random value that is used to initialize the canary used
1433when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable
1434value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right
1435value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a
1436true random number.
1437
1438.. warning::
1439   For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at
1440   a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an
1441   attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack.
1442
1443Function : plat_flush_next_bl_params()
1444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1445
1446::
1447
1448    Argument : void
1449    Return   : void
1450
1451This function flushes to main memory all the image params that are passed to
1452next image. This function is invoked in BL2 to flush this information
1453to the next BL image.
1454
1455Function : plat_log_get_prefix()
1456~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1457
1458::
1459
1460    Argument : unsigned int
1461    Return   : const char *
1462
1463This function defines the prefix string corresponding to the `log_level` to be
1464prepended to all the log output from TF-A. The `log_level` (argument) will
1465correspond to one of the standard log levels defined in debug.h. The platform
1466can override the common implementation to define a different prefix string for
1467the log output. The implementation should be robust to future changes that
1468increase the number of log levels.
1469
1470Function : plat_get_soc_version()
1471~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1472
1473::
1474
1475    Argument : void
1476    Return   : int32_t
1477
1478This function returns soc version which mainly consist of below fields
1479
1480::
1481
1482    soc_version[30:24] = JEP-106 continuation code for the SiP
1483    soc_version[23:16] = JEP-106 identification code with parity bit for the SiP
1484    soc_version[15:0]  = Implementation defined SoC ID
1485
1486Function : plat_get_soc_revision()
1487~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1488
1489::
1490
1491    Argument : void
1492    Return   : int32_t
1493
1494This function returns soc revision in below format
1495
1496::
1497
1498    soc_revision[0:30] = SOC revision of specific SOC
1499
1500Function : plat_get_soc_name()
1501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1502
1503::
1504
1505    Argument : char **
1506    Return   : int32_t
1507
1508The plat_get_soc_name() function allows a platform to expose the SoC name to
1509the firmware. It takes a pointer to a character pointer as an argument, which
1510must be set to point to a static, null-terminated SoC name string. The string
1511must be encoded in UTF-8 and should use only printable ASCII characters for
1512compatibility. It must not exceed 136 bytes, including the null terminator. On
1513success, the function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS. If the platform does not
1514support SoC name retrieval, it returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED. This API
1515allows platforms to support SoC name queries via SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID.
1516
1517Function : plat_is_smccc_feature_available()
1518~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1519
1520::
1521
1522    Argument : u_register_t
1523    Return   : int32_t
1524
1525This function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS if the platform supports
1526the SMCCC function specified in the argument; otherwise returns
1527SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED.
1528
1529Function : plat_can_cmo()
1530~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1531
1532::
1533
1534    Argument : void
1535    Return   : uint64_t
1536
1537When CONDITIONAL_CMO flag is enabled:
1538
1539- This function indicates whether cache management operations should be
1540  performed. It returns 0 if CMOs should be skipped and non-zero
1541  otherwise.
1542- The function must not clobber x1, x2 and x3. It's also not safe to rely on
1543  stack. Otherwise obey AAPCS.
1544
1545Struct: plat_try_images_ops [optional]
1546~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1547
1548This optional structure holds platform hooks for alternative images load.
1549It has to be defined in platform code and registered by calling
1550plat_setup_try_img_ops() function, passing it the address of the
1551plat_try_images_ops struct.
1552
1553Function : plat_setup_try_img_ops [optional]
1554............................................
1555
1556::
1557
1558    Argument : const struct plat_try_images_ops *
1559    Return   : void
1560
1561This optional function is called to register platform try images ops, given
1562as argument.
1563
1564Function : plat_try_images_ops.next_instance [optional]
1565.......................................................
1566
1567::
1568
1569    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1570    Return   : int
1571
1572This optional function tries to load images from alternative places.
1573In case PSA FWU is not used, it can be any instance or media. If PSA FWU is
1574used, it is mandatory that the backup image is on the same media.
1575This is required for MTD devices like NAND.
1576The argument is the ID of the image for which we are looking for an alternative
1577place. It returns 0 in case of success and a negative errno value otherwise.
1578
1579Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage
1580---------------------------------------------
1581
1582Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1583-------------------------
1584
1585BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1586warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1587
1588#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1589
1590#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1591   only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1592   control to the BL2 stage.
1593
1594#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1595
1596#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1597   address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1598
1599#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1600   accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1601
1602   ::
1603
1604       meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2
1605       meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2
1606
1607   By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure
1608   memory visible to BL2.
1609
1610   It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1611   ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1612   BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1613   ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
1614
1615The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
1616BL1 to perform the above tasks.
1617
1618Function : bl1_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1619~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1620
1621::
1622
1623    Argument : void
1624    Return   : void
1625
1626This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1627by the primary CPU.
1628
1629On Arm standard platforms, this function:
1630
1631-  Enables a secure instance of SP805 to act as the Trusted Watchdog.
1632
1633-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1634   family of functions in BL1.
1635
1636-  Enables issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to
1637   the CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the
1638   primary CPU.

1643::
1644
1645    Argument : void
1646    Return   : void
1647
1648This function performs any platform-specific and architectural setup that the
1649platform requires. Platform-specific setup might include configuration of
1650memory controllers and the interconnect.
1651
1652In Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1653
1654This function helps fulfill requirement 2 above.

1657~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1658
1659::
1660
1661    Argument : void
1662    Return   : void
1663
1664This function executes with the MMU and data caches enabled. It is responsible
1665for performing any remaining platform-specific setup that can occur after the
1666MMU and data cache have been enabled.
1667
1668In Arm standard platforms, this function initializes the storage abstraction
1669layer used to load the next bootloader image.
1670
1671This function helps fulfill requirement 4 above.
1672
1673Function : bl1_plat_sec_mem_layout() [mandatory]
1674~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1675
1676::
1677
1678    Argument : void
1679    Return   : meminfo *
1680
1681This function should only be called on the cold boot path. It executes with the
1682MMU and data caches enabled. The pointer returned by this function must point to
1683a ``meminfo`` structure containing the extents and availability of secure RAM for
1684the BL1 stage.
1685
1686::
1687
1688    meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL1
1689    meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL1
1690
1691This information is used by BL1 to load the BL2 image in secure RAM. BL1 also
1692populates a similar structure to tell BL2 the extents of memory available for
1693its own use.
1694
1695This function helps fulfill requirements 4 and 5 above.
1696
1697Function : bl1_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
1698~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1699
1700::
1701
1702    Argument : entry_point_info_t *
1703    Return   : void
1704
1705This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
1706``BL1_SMC_RUN_IMAGE`` SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
1707platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring
1708control to the next image. It receives the address of the ``entry_point_info_t``
1709structure passed from BL2. This function runs with MMU disabled.
1710
1711Function : bl1_plat_set_ep_info() [optional]
1712~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1713
1714::
1715
1716    Argument : unsigned int image_id, entry_point_info_t *ep_info
1717    Return   : void
1718
1719This function allows platforms to override ``ep_info`` for the given ``image_id``.
1720
1721The default implementation just returns.
1722
1723Function : bl1_plat_get_next_image_id() [optional]
1724~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1725
1726::
1727
1728    Argument : void
1729    Return   : unsigned int
1730
1731This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1732
1733BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1734loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1735with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1736returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1737
1738The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
1739platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and
1740if so, return the first image in the firmware update process.
1741
1742Function : bl1_plat_get_image_desc() [optional]
1743~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1744
1745::
1746
1747    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1748    Return   : image_desc_t *
1749
1750BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t``
1751for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform.
1752
1753The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm
1754standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of
1755the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
1756specification.
1757
1758Function : bl1_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1759~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1760
1761::
1762
1763    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1764    Return   : int
1765
1766This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1767corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1768boot and FWU code path, before loading the image.
1769
1770Function : bl1_plat_calc_bl2_layout() [optional]
1771~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1772
1773::
1774
1775    Argument : const meminfo_t *bl1_mem_layout, meminfo_t *bl2_mem_layout
1776    Return   : void
1777
1778This utility function calculates the memory layout of BL2, representing it in a
1779`meminfo_t` structure. The default implementation derives this layout from the
1780positioning of BL1’s RW data at the top of the memory layout.
1781
1782Function : bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1783~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1784
1785::
1786
1787    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1788    Return   : int
1789
1790This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1791corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1792boot and FWU code path, after loading and authenticating the image.
1793
1794The default weak implementation of this function calculates the amount of
1795Trusted SRAM that can be used by BL2 and allocates a ``meminfo_t``
1796structure at the beginning of this free memory and populates it. The address
1797of ``meminfo_t`` structure is updated in ``arg1`` of the entrypoint
1798information to BL2.
1799
1800Function : bl1_plat_fwu_done() [optional]
1801~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1802
1803::
1804
1805    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t image_src,
1806               unsigned int image_size
1807    Return   : void
1808
1809BL1 calls this function when the FWU process is complete. It must not return.
1810The platform may override this function to take platform specific action, for
1811example to initiate the normal boot flow.
1812
1813The default implementation spins forever.
1814
1815Function : bl1_plat_mem_check() [mandatory]
1816~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1817
1818::
1819
1820    Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
1821               unsigned int flags
1822    Return   : int
1823
1824BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1825copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1826region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1827that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1828indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1829
1830This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1831``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1832overflow.
1833
1834This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1835
1836The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1837override it when using the FWU feature.
1838
1839Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2)
1840-------------------------
1841
1842The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1843using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
1844``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1845``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1846non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1847then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1848images to be passed to the next BL image.
1849
1850The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2
1851to perform the above tasks.
1852
1853Function : bl2_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
1854~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1855
1856::
1857
1858    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
1859    Return   : void
1860
1861This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1862by the primary CPU. The 4 arguments are passed by BL1 to BL2 and these arguments
1863are platform specific.
1864
1865On Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
1866
1867    arg0 - Points to load address of FW_CONFIG
1868
1869    arg1 - ``meminfo`` structure populated by BL1. The platform copies
1870    the contents of ``meminfo`` as it may be subsequently overwritten by BL2.
1871
1872On Arm standard platforms, this function also:
1873
1874-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1875   family of functions in BL2.
1876
1877-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
1878   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
1879   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
1880
1881Function : bl2_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1882~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1883
1884::
1885
1886    Argument : void
1887    Return   : void
1888
1889This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1890by the primary CPU.
1891
1892The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
1893that varies across platforms.
1894
1895On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1896
1897Function : bl2_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1898~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1899
1900::
1901
1902    Argument : void
1903    Return   : void
1904
1905This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
1906port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
1907called by the primary CPU.
1908
1909The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
1910specific to BL2.
1911
1912In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
1913configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
1914to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
1915
1916Function : bl2_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1917~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1918
1919::
1920
1921    Argument : unsigned int
1922    Return   : int
1923
1924This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1925for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 before
1926loading each image.
1927
1928Function : bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1929~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1930
1931::
1932
1933    Argument : unsigned int
1934    Return   : int
1935
1936This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1937for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 after
1938loading each image.
1939
1940Function : bl2_plat_preload_setup [optional]
1941~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1942
1943::
1944
1945    Argument : void
1946    Return   : void
1947
1948This optional function performs any BL2 platform initialization
1949required before image loading, that is not done later in
1950bl2_platform_setup().
1951
1952Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) at EL3
1953--------------------------------
1954
1955When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump
1956directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to
1957execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design`
1958document for more information.
1959
1960All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions
1961bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because
1962their work is done now by bl2_el3_early_platform_setup and
1963bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup. These functions should generally implement
1964the bl1_plat_xxx() and bl2_plat_xxx() functionality combined.
1965
1966
1967Function : bl2_el3_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1968~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1969
1970::
1971
1972	Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
1973	Return   : void
1974
1975This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1976by the primary CPU. This function receives four parameters which can be used
1977by the platform to pass any needed information from the Boot ROM to BL2.
1978
1979On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
1980
1981-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1982   family of functions in BL2.
1983
1984-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
1985   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
1986   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
1987
1988- Initializes the private variables that define the memory layout used.
1989
1990Function : bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1991~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1992
1993::
1994
1995	Argument : void
1996	Return   : void
1997
1998This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1999by the primary CPU.
2000
2001The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2002that varies across platforms.
2003
2004On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2005
2006Function : bl2_el3_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
2007~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2008
2009::
2010
2011	Argument : void
2012	Return   : void
2013
2014This function is called prior to exiting BL2 and run the next image.
2015It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping
2016operations before transferring control to the next image. This function
2017runs with MMU disabled.
2018
2019FWU Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2U)
2020------------------------------
2021
2022The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
2023process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
2024``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
2025
2026#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
2027   memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
2028   ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
2029   should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
2030   implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
2031   If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
2032
2033#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
2034   example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the
2035   normal world can access DDR memory.
2036
2037The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable
2038BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above.
2039
2040Function : bl2u_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2041~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2042
2043::
2044
2045    Argument : meminfo *mem_info, void *plat_info
2046    Return   : void
2047
2048This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2049called by the primary CPU. The arguments to this function is the address
2050of the ``meminfo`` structure and platform specific info provided by BL1.
2051
2052The platform may copy the contents of the ``mem_info`` and ``plat_info`` into
2053private storage as the original memory may be subsequently overwritten by BL2U.
2054
2055On Arm CSS platforms ``plat_info`` is interpreted as an ``image_info_t`` structure,
2056to extract SCP_BL2U image information, which is then copied into a private
2057variable.
2058
2059Function : bl2u_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2060~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2061
2062::
2063
2064    Argument : void
2065    Return   : void
2066
2067This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2068called by the primary CPU.
2069
2070The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2071that varies across platforms, for example enabling the MMU (since the memory
2072map differs across platforms).
2073
2074Function : bl2u_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2075~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2076
2077::
2078
2079    Argument : void
2080    Return   : void
2081
2082This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2083port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2u_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2084called by the primary CPU.
2085
2086The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
2087specific to BL2U.
2088
2089In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
2090configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
2091to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
2092
2093Function : bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u() [optional]
2094~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2095
2096::
2097
2098    Argument : void
2099    Return   : int
2100
2101This function is used to perform any platform-specific actions required to
2102handle the SCP firmware. Typically it transfers the image into SCP memory using
2103a platform-specific protocol and waits until SCP executes it and signals to the
2104Application Processor (AP) for BL2U execution to continue.
2105
2106This function returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
2107This function is included if SCP_BL2U_BASE is defined.
2108
2109Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
2110----------------------------
2111
2112During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
2113determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
2114control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
2115CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
2116
2117#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
2118   some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
2119   that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
2120   should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
2121
2122#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2123   specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list
2124   populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2125
2126#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a
2127   subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime
2128   service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI
2129   implementation.
2130
2131#. Optionally passing control to the BL32 image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2132   specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
2133   services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
2134   executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the
2135   ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2136
2137If BL31 is a reset vector, It also needs to handle the reset as specified in
2138section 2.2 before the tasks described above.
2139
2140The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL31
2141to perform the above tasks.
2142
2143Function : bl31_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
2144~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2145
2146::
2147
2148    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2149    Return   : void
2150
2151This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2152by the primary CPU. BL2 can pass 4 arguments to BL31 and these arguments are
2153platform specific.
2154
2155In Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
2156
2157    arg0 - The pointer to the head of `bl_params_t` list
2158    which is list of executable images following BL31,
2159
2160    arg1 - Points to load address of SOC_FW_CONFIG if present
2161           except in case of Arm FVP and Juno platform.
2162
2163           In case of Arm FVP and Juno platform, points to load address
2164           of FW_CONFIG.
2165
2166    arg2 - Points to load address of HW_CONFIG if present
2167
2168    arg3 - A special value to verify platform parameters from BL2 to BL31. Not
2169    used in release builds.
2170
2171The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point
2172information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following:
2173
2174-  Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2175   family of functions in BL31.
2176

2201
2202    Argument : void
2203    Return   : void
2204
2205This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2206port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2207called by the primary CPU.
2208
2209The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both
2210BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly.
2211
2212On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2213
2214-  Initialize the generic interrupt controller.
2215
2216   Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2
2217   or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of:
2218
2219   -  Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2220   -  Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2221   -  Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2222      to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2223   -  Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2224   -  Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.
2225   -  Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2226   -  Configure all other interrupts as non-secure.
2227   -  Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2228
2229-  Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the
2230   memory mapped interface.
2231
2232-  Grant access to the system counter timer module
2233
2234-  Initialize the power controller device.
2235
2236   In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the
2237   power controller device.

2647
2648This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and
2649caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable
2650translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled.
2651
2652The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are
2653defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file
2654``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``.
2655
2656On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which
2657is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented.
2658
2659Function : plat_init_apkey [optional]
2660~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2661
2662::
2663
2664    Argument : void
2665    Return   : uint128_t
2666
2667This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3
2668pointer authentication keys.
2669
2670The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness.
2671
2672This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the
2673Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to 1, 2 or 3.
2674
2675Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory]
2676~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2677
2678::
2679
2680    Argument : void
2681    Return   : unsigned int
2682
2683This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter
2684frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the
2685``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency
2686of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency
2687modes table.
2688
2689#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional]
2690~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2691
2692When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2693bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2694accommodate all the bakery locks.
2695
2696If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2697calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2698nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2699and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2700from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2701accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2702
2703If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2704calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2705assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2706line boundary.

2709
2710SDEI porting requirements
2711~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2712
2713The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2714and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2715
2716Macros
2717......
2718
2719Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2720^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2721
2722This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2723Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2724(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2725
2726Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2727^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2728
2729This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2730Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2731(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2732
2733**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2734priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2735be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2736
2737Functions
2738.........
2739
2740Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2741^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2742
2743::
2744
2745  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2746  Return: int
2747
2748This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2749the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2750The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2751
2752The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2753can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2754
2755The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2756
2757The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2758translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2759further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2760DRAM.
2761
2762Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2763^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2764
2765::
2766
2767  Argument: uint64_t
2768  Argument: unsigned int
2769  Return: void
2770
2771|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2772masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2773|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2774time.
2775
2776Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2777events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2778``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2779interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2780
2781The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2782
2783.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2784
2785TRNG porting requirements
2786~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2787
2788The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2789and mandatory functions.
2790
2791Values
2792......
2793
2794value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2795^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2796
2797This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2798the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2799conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2800UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2801w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2802
2803Functions
2804.........
2805
2806Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2807^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2808
2809::
2810
2811  Argument: none
2812  Return: none
2813
2814This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2815hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2816
2817Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2818^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2819
2820::
2821
2822  Argument: uint64_t *
2823  Return: bool
2824  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2825  storage pointed to
2826
2827This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2828is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.
2829
2830.. _psci_in_bl31:
2831
2832Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2833--------------------------------------------
2834
2835The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2836*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2837share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2838specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2839a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2840*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2841*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2842is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2843example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2844logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2845CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2846example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2847organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2848
2849BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2850power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2851correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2852PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2853power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2854CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2855handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2856
2857The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2858describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2859defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2860array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2861level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2862level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2863convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2864passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2865
2866The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2867
2868Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2869~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2870
2871::
2872
2873    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2874    Return   : void
2875
2876This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2877accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2878``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2879differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2880index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2881state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2882residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2883statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2884default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2885
2886Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2887~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2888
2889::
2890
2891    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2892    Return   : void
2893
2894This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2895accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2896of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2897differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2898index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2899state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2900residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2901statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2902default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2903
2904Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2905~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2906
2907::
2908
2909    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2910    Return   : u_register_t
2911
2912This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2913state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2914domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2915all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2916invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2917identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2918argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2919The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2920power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2921CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2922for that power domain.
2923
2924Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]
2925~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2926
2927::
2928
2929    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2930    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2931
2932The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2933state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2934a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2935argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2936power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2937is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2938a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2939states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2940power states.
2941
2942A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2943that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2944of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2945then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2946coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2947of the requested local power state values.
2948
2949Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory]
2950~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2951
2952::
2953
2954    Argument : void
2955    Return   : const unsigned char *
2956
2957This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2958topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2959described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2960initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2961statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2962the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2963plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2964description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2965form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
2966
2967Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
2968~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2969
2970::
2971
2972    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
2973    Return   : int
2974
2975This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2976port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2977called by the primary CPU.
2978
2979This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2980the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2981``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2982platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2983pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2984
2985A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
2986the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
2987``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
2988platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2989structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
2990:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
2991function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
2992structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
2993
2994plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
2995...........................
2996
2997Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
2998indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
2999wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
3000For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
3001the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
3002STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
3003handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
3004issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
3005state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3006
3007plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
3008.............................
3009
3010Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
3011by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
3012return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
3013
3014plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional]
3015...............................................
3016
3017This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
3018powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
3019indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
3020
3021The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3022for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3023
3024For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3025power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3026for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3027coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
3028platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.
3029
3030plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
3031..............................
3032
3033Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
3034and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
3035(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
3036
3037The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3038for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
3039needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
3040at each power level.
3041
3042For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3043power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3044for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3045coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3046
3047plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_validate_suspend() [optional]
3048......................................................
3049
3050This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build
3051option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled.
3052
3053If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific
3054validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to
3055return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
3056PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
3057
3058plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
3059...........................................................
3060
3061This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
3062or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
3063are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
3064calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
3065that data caches are enabled.
3066
3067When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
3068before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
3069power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
3070specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
3071efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
3072= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
3073moving platform specific actions to this function.
3074
3075plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
3076..................................
3077
3078Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
3079CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
3080``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3081API implementation.
3082
3083The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
3084the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
3085target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
3086power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
3087corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
3088expects the handler to succeed.
3089
3090The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
3091in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
3092when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
3093case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
3094execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
3095``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
3096
3097When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
3098Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
3099this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
3100implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
3101sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
3102the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
3103Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
3104Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
3105is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
3106defined sequence.
3107
3108When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
3109``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
3110it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
3111system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
3112allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
3113data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
3114implementation-defined sequence.
3115
3116plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()
3117.......................................
3118
3119This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
3120platform specific actions before the CPU is powered down. Since this function is
3121invoked outside the PSCI locks, the actions performed in this hook must be local
3122to the CPU or the platform must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot
3123occur.
3124
3125The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
3126operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
3127the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3128
3129It is preferred that this function returns. The caller will invoke
3130``wfi()`` to powerdown the CPU, mitigate any powerdown errata,
3131and handle any wakeups that may arise. Previously, this function did not return
3132and instead called ``wfi`` (in an infinite loop) directly. This is still
3133possible on platforms where this is guaranteed to be terminal, however, it is
3134strongly discouraged going forward.
3135
3136Previously this function was called ``pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()`` and invoked
3137``psci_power_down_wfi()`` (now removed).
3138
3139plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
3140....................................
3141
3142This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3143powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
3144It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
3145this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
3146services.
3147
3148The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
3149immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
3150above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
3151low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3152
3153plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
3154...........................................................
3155
3156This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
3157CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
3158the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
3159function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
3160such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
3161overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
3162
3163The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
3164operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3165
3166plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
3167.........................................
3168
3169This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3170powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
3171event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
3172``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
3173setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
3174in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
3175
3176The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
3177the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
3178to succeed.
3179
3180If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
3181suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
3182to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
3183
3184plat_psci_ops.system_off()
3185..........................
3186
3187This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
3188call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
3189notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3190function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3191
3192plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
3193............................
3194
3195This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
3196call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
3197notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3198function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3199
3200plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
3201....................................
3202
3203This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3204call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
3205populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
3206specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
3207return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
3208normal world PSCI client.
3209
3210plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
3211......................................
3212
3213This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
3214``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
3215parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
3216the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
3217propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
3218
3219plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
3220...........................................
3221
3222This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
3223call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
3224domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
3225``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
3226``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
3227enter system suspend.
3228
3229plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
3230.....................................
3231
3232This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
3233implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
3234``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
3235``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
3236supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
3237``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
3238local power states.
3239
3240plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3241..............................................
3242
3243This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3244(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3245domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3246argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3247level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3248populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3249is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3250envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3251targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3252domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3253function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3254``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3255
3256This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3257power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3258APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3259
3260plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3261.................................
3262
3263This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3264the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3265the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3266as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3267Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3268status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3269must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3270appropriate.
3271
3272Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3273``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3274
3275plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3276.............................
3277
3278This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3279called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3280based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3281`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3282reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3283function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3284resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3285and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3286in `PSCI`_. If this function returns success, the caller will call
3287``wfi`` similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3288
3289plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3290.................................
3291
3292This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3293``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3294A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3295disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3296and on success it must return 0.
3297
3298plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3299................................
3300
3301This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3302state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3303failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3304return 0.
3305
3306plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3307...............................
3308
3309This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3310region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3311bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3312then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3315
3316Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3317----------------------------------------
3318
3319BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3320generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3321state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3322described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3323
3324A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3325text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3326platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3327present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3328`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3329and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3330FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3331``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3332details).
3333
3334See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3335
3336Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3337~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3338
3339::
3340
3341    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3342    Return   : uint32_t
3343
3344The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3345interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3346controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3347either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3348the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3349from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3350
3351The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3352:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3353interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3354execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3355register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3356
3357In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3358configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3359state.
3360
3361In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3362configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3363interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3364
3365-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3366   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3367-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3368   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3369-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3370   context.
3371
3372Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3373~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3374
3375::
3376
3377    Argument : void
3378    Return   : uint32_t
3379
3380This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3381platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3382handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3383pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3384``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3385
3386In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3387Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3388the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3389follows.
3390
3391#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3392#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3393#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3394
3395In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3396``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3397is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3398depends upon the id value as follows.
3399
3400#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3401#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3402#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3403#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt.
3404
3405Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_id() [mandatory]
3406~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3407
3408::
3409
3410    Argument : void
3411    Return   : uint32_t
3412
3413This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3414platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3415pending.
3416
3417In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3418Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3419pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3420the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3421
3422#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3423#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3424   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3425   This id is returned by the API.
3426#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3427
3428In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3429EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3430group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3431that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3432interrupt controller as follows.
3433
3434#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3435#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3436   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3437   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3438   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3439#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3440   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3441
3442When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3443register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3444Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3445``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3446
3447Function : plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt() [mandatory]
3448~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3449
3450::
3451
3452    Argument : void
3453    Return   : uint32_t
3454
3455This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3456the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3457value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3458The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3459`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3460
3461This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3462Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3463priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3464It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3465
3466In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3467from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3468Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3469reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3470group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3471pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3472unmodified.
3473
3474The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3475interrupt.
3476
3477Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3478~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3479
3480::
3481
3482    Argument : uint32_t
3483    Return   : void
3484
3485This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3486the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3487finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3488``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3489
3490Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3491(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3492system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3493EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3494controller.
3495
3496The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3497interrupt.
3498
3499Function : plat_ic_get_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3500~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3501
3502::
3503
3504    Argument : uint32_t
3505    Return   : uint32_t
3506
3507This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3508``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3509interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3510returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3511IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3512
3513Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3514and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3515corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3516(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3517
3518In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3519Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3520(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3521as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.
3522
3523Registering a console
3524---------------------
3525
3526Platforms will need to implement the TF-A console framework to register and use
3527a console for visual data output in TF-A. These can be used for data output during
3528the different stages of the firmware boot process and also for debugging purposes.
3529
3530The console framework can be used to output data on to a console using a number of
3531TF-A supported UARTs. Multiple consoles can be registered at the same time with
3532different output scopes (BOOT, RUNTIME, CRASH) so that data can be displayed on
3533their respective consoles without unnecessary cluttering of a single console.
3534
3535Information for registering a console can be found in the :ref:`Console Framework` section
3536of the :ref:`System Design` documentation.
3537
3538Common helper functions

3540Function : elx_panic()
3541~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3542
3543::
3544
3545    Argument : void
3546    Return   : void
3547
3548This API is called from assembly files when reporting a critical failure
3549that has occured in lower EL and is been trapped in EL3. This call
3550**must not** return.
3551
3552Function : el3_panic()
3553~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3554
3555::
3556
3557    Argument : void
3558    Return   : void
3559
3560This API is called from assembly files when encountering a critical failure that
3561cannot be recovered from. This function assumes that it is invoked from a C
3562runtime environment i.e. valid stack exists. This call **must not** return.
3563
3564Function : panic()
3565~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3566
3567::
3568
3569    Argument : void
3570    Return   : void
3571
3572This API called from C files when encountering a critical failure that cannot
3573be recovered from. This function in turn prints backtrace (if enabled) and calls
3574el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3575
3576Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3577-----------------------------------
3578
3579BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3580of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3581on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3582``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3583
3584The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3585implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3586makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3587output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3588consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3589used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3590
3591.. note::
3592   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3593   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3594   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3595   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3596
3597In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3598normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3599more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3600these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3601console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3602that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3603for an example of this.

3653.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3654
3655External Abort handling and RAS Support
3656---------------------------------------
3657
3658If any cores on the platform support powerdown abandon (check the "Core powerup
3659and powerdown sequence" in their TRMs), then
3660these functions should be able to handle being called with power domains off and
3661after the powerdown ``wfi``. In other words it may run after a call to
3662``pwr_domain_suspend()`` and before a call to ``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``
3663(and their power off counterparts).
3664
3665Should this not be desirable, or if there is no powerdown abandon support, then
3666RAS errors should be masked by writing any relevant error records in any
3667powerdown hooks to prevent deadlocks due to a RAS error after the point of no
3668return. See the core's TRM for further information.
3669
3670Function : plat_ea_handler
3671~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3672
3673::
3674
3675    Argument : int
3676    Argument : uint64_t
3677    Argument : void *
3678    Argument : void *
3679    Argument : uint64_t
3680    Return   : void
3681
3682This function is invoked by the runtime exception handling framework for the
3683platform to handle an External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the
3684function is to attempt to resolve the cause of External Abort and return;
3685if that's not possible then an orderly shutdown of the system is initiated.
3686
3687The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3688Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3689
3690The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3691presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3692nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3693can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3694
3695The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3696(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3697(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3698are received from the top-level exception handler.
3699
3700This function must be implemented if a platform expects Firmware First handling
3701of External Aborts.
3702
3703Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea
3704~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3705
3706::
3707
3708    Argument : int
3709    Argument : uint64_t
3710    Return   : void
3711
3712This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3713Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3714Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3715shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3716
3717This function must be implemented in assembly.
3718
3719The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3720
3721The default implementation of this function calls
3722``report_unhandled_exception``.
3723
3724Function : plat_handle_double_fault
3725~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3727::
3728
3729    Argument : int
3730    Argument : uint64_t
3731    Return   : void
3732
3733This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3734received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3735``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3736this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3737recover or return.
3738
3739This function must be implemented in assembly.
3740
3741The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3742
3743The default implementation of this function calls
3744``report_unhandled_exception``.
3745
3746Function : plat_handle_el3_ea
3747~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3748
3749::
3750
3751    Return   : void
3752
3753This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in
3754EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate
3755orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3756
3757This function must be implemented in assembly.
3758
3759The default implementation of this function calls
3760``report_unhandled_exception``.
3761
3762Function : plat_handle_rng_trap
3763~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3764
3765::
3766
3767    Argument : uint64_t
3768    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3769    Return   : int
3770
3771This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3772system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3773platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3774emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3775
3776The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3777syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3778information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3779
3780The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3781lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3782was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3783register.
3784
3785The return value indicates how to proceed:
3786
3787-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3788-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3789   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3790-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3791   to the next instruction.
3792
3793This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3794
3795Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap
3796~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3797
3798::
3799
3800    Argument : uint64_t
3801    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3802    Return   : int
3803
3804This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3805system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers.
3806It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3807registers choosing to program bits of their choice. If using in combination with
3808``ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY``, the macros
3809{SCR,MDCR,CPTR}_PLAT_{BITS,IGNORED,FLIPPED} should be defined to report correct
3810results.
3811
3812The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3813syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3814
3815The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3816lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3817was trapped.
3818
3819The return value indicates how to proceed:
3820
3821-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3822-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3823   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3824-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3825   to the next instruction.
3826
3827This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables
3828IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP.
3829
3830Build flags
3831-----------
3832
3833There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3834inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3835need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3836build system.
3837
3838-  **NEED_BL33**
3839   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3840   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3841   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3842   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3843   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3844
3845-  **ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR**
3846   By default, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.ARM_ARCH_MINOR is set to 8.0 in ``defaults.mk``,
3847   if the platform makefile/build defines or uses the correct ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and
3848   ARM_ARCH_MINOR then mandatory Architectural features available for that Arch
3849   version will be enabled by default and any optional Arch feature supported by
3850   the Architecture and available in TF-A can be enabled from platform specific
3851   makefile. Look up to ``arch_features.mk`` for details pertaining to mandatory
3852   and optional Arch specific features.
3853
3854Platform include paths
3855----------------------
3856
3857Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3858The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3859particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3860
3861Example:
3862
3863.. code:: c
3864
3865  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3866
3867C Library
3868---------
3869
3870To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3871by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3872to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3873required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3874contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3875more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3876added to the local implementation.
3877
3878Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3879been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3880from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3881files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3882
3883SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3884can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3885
3886Storage abstraction layer
3887-------------------------
3888
3889In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3890layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3891storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3892``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3893
3894.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3895
3896It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3897development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3898the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3899The storage layer is described in the header file
3900``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3901in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3902``drivers/io/``.
3903
3904.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3905
3906Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3907``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3908function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3909implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3910
3911Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3912abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3913phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3914
3915.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3916
3917The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3918initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3919
3920.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3921
3922The basic operations supported by the layer
3923include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3924Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3925provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3926operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3927
3928The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3929firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3930``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3931there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3932to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3933to allow access to the image data.
3934
3935The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3936other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3937physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3938drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3939be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3940
3941The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3942by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3943dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3944amount of open resources per driver.
3945
3946Measured Boot Platform Interface
3947--------------------------------
3948
3949Enabling the MEASURED_BOOT flag adds extra platform requirements. Please refer
3950to :ref:`Measured Boot Design` for more details.

3962
3963This platform API provides the list of LFA components available for activation.
3964It populates a pointer to an array of ``plat_lfa_component_info_t`` structures,
3965which contain information about each component (like UUID, ID, etc.). It returns

3998    Return   : int
3999
4000The platform uses this API to load, authenticate and measure the component
4001specified by ``lfa_component_id``. It should return 0 on success or appropriate
4002error codes for load/authentication failures.
