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**

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

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
1579Function : plat_setup_log_gpt_corrupted [optional]
1580..................................................
1581
1582::
1583
1584    Argument : const struct plat_log_gpt_corrupted *
1585    Return   : void
1586
1587This optional function is called to register platform log GPT corrupted functions,
1588given as argument.
1589
1590Function : plat_setup_log_gpt_corrupted.plat_set_gpt_corruption [optional]
1591..........................................................................

1593::
1594
1595    Argument : uintptr_t gpt_corrupted_info_ptr, uint8_t flags
1596    Return   : void
1597
1598This optional function will log error information if the GPT is corrupted, by
1599setting the address passed by gpt_corrupted_info_ptr to flags value, currently
1600bit[0] is used for logging primary GPT corruption, bit[7:1] are reserved.
1601The data type passed by reference is uint8_t.
1602
1603Function : plat_setup_log_gpt_corrupted.plat_log_gpt_corruption [optional]
1604..........................................................................
1605
1606::
1607
1608    Argument : uintptr_t log_address, uint8_t gpt_corrupted_info
1609    Return   : void
1610
1611This optional function will log if the primary GPT is corrupted, by writing
1612the value of gpt_corrupted_info to the address passed by log_address.
1613
1614Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage
1615---------------------------------------------
1616
1617Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1618-------------------------
1619
1620BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1621warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1622
1623#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1624
1625#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1626   only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1627   control to the BL2 stage.
1628
1629#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1630
1631#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1632   address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1633
1634#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1635   accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1636
1637   ::
1638
1639       meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2
1640       meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2
1641
1642   By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure
1643   memory visible to BL2.
1644
1645   It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1646   ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1647   BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1648   ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
1649
1650The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
1651BL1 to perform the above tasks.
1652
1653Function : bl1_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1654~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1655
1656::
1657
1658    Argument : void
1659    Return   : void
1660
1661This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1662by the primary CPU.
1663
1664On Arm standard platforms, this function:
1665
1666-  Enables a secure instance of SP805 to act as the Trusted Watchdog.
1667
1668-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1669   family of functions in BL1.
1670
1671-  Enables issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to
1672   the CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the
1673   primary CPU.
1674
1675Function : bl1_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1676~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1677
1678::
1679
1680    Argument : void
1681    Return   : void
1682
1683This function performs any platform-specific and architectural setup that the
1684platform requires. Platform-specific setup might include configuration of
1685memory controllers and the interconnect.
1686
1687In Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1688
1689This function helps fulfill requirement 2 above.
1690
1691Function : bl1_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1692~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1693
1694::
1695
1696    Argument : void
1697    Return   : void
1698
1699This function executes with the MMU and data caches enabled. It is responsible
1700for performing any remaining platform-specific setup that can occur after the
1701MMU and data cache have been enabled.
1702
1703In Arm standard platforms, this function initializes the storage abstraction
1704layer used to load the next bootloader image.
1705
1706This function helps fulfill requirement 4 above.
1707
1708Function : bl1_plat_sec_mem_layout() [mandatory]
1709~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1710
1711::
1712
1713    Argument : void
1714    Return   : meminfo *
1715
1716This function should only be called on the cold boot path. It executes with the
1717MMU and data caches enabled. The pointer returned by this function must point to
1718a ``meminfo`` structure containing the extents and availability of secure RAM for
1719the BL1 stage.
1720
1721::
1722
1723    meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL1
1724    meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL1
1725
1726This information is used by BL1 to load the BL2 image in secure RAM. BL1 also
1727populates a similar structure to tell BL2 the extents of memory available for
1728its own use.
1729
1730This function helps fulfill requirements 4 and 5 above.
1731
1732Function : bl1_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
1733~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1734
1735::
1736
1737    Argument : entry_point_info_t *
1738    Return   : void
1739
1740This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
1741``BL1_SMC_RUN_IMAGE`` SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
1742platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring
1743control to the next image. It receives the address of the ``entry_point_info_t``
1744structure passed from BL2. This function runs with MMU disabled.
1745
1746Function : bl1_plat_set_ep_info() [optional]
1747~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1748
1749::
1750
1751    Argument : unsigned int image_id, entry_point_info_t *ep_info
1752    Return   : void
1753
1754This function allows platforms to override ``ep_info`` for the given ``image_id``.
1755
1756The default implementation just returns.
1757
1758Function : bl1_plat_get_next_image_id() [optional]
1759~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1760
1761::
1762
1763    Argument : void
1764    Return   : unsigned int
1765
1766This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1767
1768BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1769loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1770with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1771returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1772
1773The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
1774platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and
1775if so, return the first image in the firmware update process.
1776
1777Function : bl1_plat_get_image_desc() [optional]
1778~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1779
1780::
1781
1782    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1783    Return   : image_desc_t *
1784
1785BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t``
1786for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform.
1787
1788The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm
1789standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of
1790the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
1791specification.
1792
1793Function : bl1_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1794~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1795
1796::
1797
1798    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1799    Return   : int
1800
1801This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1802corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1803boot and FWU code path, before loading the image.
1804
1805Function : bl1_plat_calc_bl2_layout() [optional]
1806~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1807
1808::
1809
1810    Argument : const meminfo_t *bl1_mem_layout, meminfo_t *bl2_mem_layout
1811    Return   : void
1812
1813This utility function calculates the memory layout of BL2, representing it in a
1814`meminfo_t` structure. The default implementation derives this layout from the
1815positioning of BL1’s RW data at the top of the memory layout.
1816
1817Function : bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1818~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1819
1820::
1821
1822    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1823    Return   : int
1824
1825This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1826corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1827boot and FWU code path, after loading and authenticating the image.
1828
1829The default weak implementation of this function calculates the amount of
1830Trusted SRAM that can be used by BL2 and allocates a ``meminfo_t``
1831structure at the beginning of this free memory and populates it. The address
1832of ``meminfo_t`` structure is updated in ``arg1`` of the entrypoint
1833information to BL2.
1834
1835Function : bl1_plat_fwu_done() [optional]
1836~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1837
1838::
1839
1840    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t image_src,
1841               unsigned int image_size
1842    Return   : void
1843
1844BL1 calls this function when the FWU process is complete. It must not return.
1845The platform may override this function to take platform specific action, for
1846example to initiate the normal boot flow.
1847
1848The default implementation spins forever.
1849
1850Function : bl1_plat_mem_check() [mandatory]
1851~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1852
1853::
1854
1855    Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
1856               unsigned int flags
1857    Return   : int
1858
1859BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1860copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1861region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1862that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1863indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1864
1865This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1866``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1867overflow.
1868
1869This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1870
1871The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1872override it when using the FWU feature.
1873
1874Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2)
1875-------------------------
1876
1877The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1878using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
1879``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1880``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1881non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1882then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1883images to be passed to the next BL image.
1884
1885The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2
1886to perform the above tasks.
1887
1888Function : bl2_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
1889~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1890
1891::
1892
1893    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
1894    Return   : void
1895
1896This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1897by the primary CPU. The 4 arguments are passed by BL1 to BL2 and these arguments
1898are platform specific.
1899
1900On Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
1901
1902    arg0 - Points to load address of FW_CONFIG
1903
1904    arg1 - ``meminfo`` structure populated by BL1. The platform copies
1905    the contents of ``meminfo`` as it may be subsequently overwritten by BL2.
1906
1907On Arm standard platforms, this function also:
1908
1909-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1910   family of functions in BL2.
1911
1912-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
1913   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
1914   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
1915
1916Function : bl2_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1917~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1918
1919::
1920
1921    Argument : void
1922    Return   : void
1923
1924This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1925by the primary CPU.
1926
1927The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
1928that varies across platforms.
1929
1930On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1931
1932Function : bl2_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1933~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1934
1935::
1936
1937    Argument : void
1938    Return   : void
1939
1940This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
1941port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
1942called by the primary CPU.
1943
1944The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
1945specific to BL2.
1946
1947In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
1948configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
1949to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
1950
1951Function : bl2_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1952~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1953
1954::
1955
1956    Argument : unsigned int
1957    Return   : int
1958
1959This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1960for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 before
1961loading each image.
1962
1963Function : bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1964~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1965
1966::
1967
1968    Argument : unsigned int
1969    Return   : int
1970
1971This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1972for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 after
1973loading each image.
1974
1975Function : bl2_plat_preload_setup [optional]
1976~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1977
1978::
1979
1980    Argument : void
1981    Return   : void
1982
1983This optional function performs any BL2 platform initialization
1984required before image loading, that is not done later in
1985bl2_platform_setup().
1986
1987Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) at EL3
1988--------------------------------
1989
1990When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump
1991directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to
1992execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design`
1993document for more information.
1994
1995All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions
1996bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because
1997their work is done now by bl2_el3_early_platform_setup and
1998bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup. These functions should generally implement
1999the bl1_plat_xxx() and bl2_plat_xxx() functionality combined.
2000
2001
2002Function : bl2_el3_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2003~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2004
2005::
2006
2007	Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2008	Return   : void
2009
2010This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2011by the primary CPU. This function receives four parameters which can be used
2012by the platform to pass any needed information from the Boot ROM to BL2.
2013
2014On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2015
2016-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2017   family of functions in BL2.
2018
2019-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
2020   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
2021   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
2022
2023- Initializes the private variables that define the memory layout used.
2024
2025Function : bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2026~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2027
2028::
2029
2030	Argument : void
2031	Return   : void
2032
2033This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2034by the primary CPU.
2035
2036The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2037that varies across platforms.
2038
2039On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2040
2041Function : bl2_el3_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
2042~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2043
2044::
2045
2046	Argument : void
2047	Return   : void
2048
2049This function is called prior to exiting BL2 and run the next image.
2050It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping
2051operations before transferring control to the next image. This function
2052runs with MMU disabled.
2053
2054FWU Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2U)
2055------------------------------
2056
2057The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
2058process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
2059``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
2060
2061#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
2062   memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
2063   ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
2064   should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
2065   implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
2066   If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
2067
2068#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
2069   example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the
2070   normal world can access DDR memory.
2071
2072The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable
2073BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above.
2074
2075Function : bl2u_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2076~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2077
2078::
2079
2080    Argument : meminfo *mem_info, void *plat_info
2081    Return   : void
2082
2083This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2084called by the primary CPU. The arguments to this function is the address
2085of the ``meminfo`` structure and platform specific info provided by BL1.
2086
2087The platform may copy the contents of the ``mem_info`` and ``plat_info`` into
2088private storage as the original memory may be subsequently overwritten by BL2U.
2089
2090On Arm CSS platforms ``plat_info`` is interpreted as an ``image_info_t`` structure,
2091to extract SCP_BL2U image information, which is then copied into a private
2092variable.
2093
2094Function : bl2u_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2095~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2096
2097::
2098
2099    Argument : void
2100    Return   : void
2101
2102This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2103called by the primary CPU.
2104
2105The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2106that varies across platforms, for example enabling the MMU (since the memory
2107map differs across platforms).
2108
2109Function : bl2u_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2110~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2111
2112::
2113
2114    Argument : void
2115    Return   : void
2116
2117This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2118port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2u_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2119called by the primary CPU.
2120
2121The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
2122specific to BL2U.
2123
2124In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
2125configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
2126to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
2127
2128Function : bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u() [optional]
2129~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2130
2131::
2132
2133    Argument : void
2134    Return   : int
2135
2136This function is used to perform any platform-specific actions required to
2137handle the SCP firmware. Typically it transfers the image into SCP memory using
2138a platform-specific protocol and waits until SCP executes it and signals to the
2139Application Processor (AP) for BL2U execution to continue.
2140
2141This function returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
2142This function is included if SCP_BL2U_BASE is defined.
2143
2144Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
2145----------------------------
2146
2147During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
2148determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
2149control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
2150CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
2151
2152#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
2153   some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
2154   that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
2155   should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
2156
2157#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2158   specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list
2159   populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2160
2161#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a
2162   subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime
2163   service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI
2164   implementation.
2165
2166#. Optionally passing control to the BL32 image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2167   specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
2168   services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
2169   executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the
2170   ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2171
2172If BL31 is a reset vector, It also needs to handle the reset as specified in
2173section 2.2 before the tasks described above.
2174
2175The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL31
2176to perform the above tasks.
2177
2178Function : bl31_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
2179~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2180

2186This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2187by the primary CPU. BL2 can pass 4 arguments to BL31 and these arguments are
2188platform specific.
2189
2190In Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
2191
2192    arg0 - The pointer to the head of `bl_params_t` list
2193    which is list of executable images following BL31,
2194
2195    arg1 - Points to load address of SOC_FW_CONFIG if present
2196           except in case of Arm FVP and Juno platform.
2197
2198           In case of Arm FVP and Juno platform, points to load address
2199           of FW_CONFIG.
2200
2201    arg2 - Points to load address of HW_CONFIG if present
2202
2203    arg3 - A special value to verify platform parameters from BL2 to BL31. Not
2204    used in release builds.
2205
2206The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point
2207information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following:
2208
2209-  Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2210   family of functions in BL31.
2211
2212-  Enable issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to the
2213   CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the primary
2214   CPU.

2240This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2241port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2242called by the primary CPU.
2243
2244The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both
2245BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly.
2246
2247On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2248
2249-  Initialize the generic interrupt controller.
2250
2251   Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2
2252   or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of:
2253
2254   -  Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2255   -  Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2256   -  Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2257      to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2258   -  Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2259   -  Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.
2260   -  Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2261   -  Configure all other interrupts as non-secure.
2262   -  Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2263
2264-  Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the
2265   memory mapped interface.
2266
2267-  Grant access to the system counter timer module
2268
2269-  Initialize the power controller device.
2270
2271   In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the
2272   power controller device.

2650Depending on the expected latency for IDE-KM interface, the platform should choose blocking
2651or non-blocking semantics. More details about IDE Setup flow can be found
2652in this `RFC <https://github.com/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/wiki/RFC:-EL3-RMM-IDE-KM-Interface>`_.
2653
2654The parameters of the function are:
2655
2656    arg0 - The ecam address, to access and configure PCI devices in a system.
2657
2658    arg1 - The rootport ID used to identify the PCIe rootport of a connected device.
2659

2676Function : bl31_plat_enable_mmu [optional]
2677~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2678
2679::
2680
2681    Argument : uint32_t
2682    Return   : void
2683
2684This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and
2685caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable
2686translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled.
2687
2688The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are
2689defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file
2690``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``.
2691
2692On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which
2693is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented.
2694
2695Function : plat_init_apkey [optional]
2696~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2697
2698::
2699
2700    Argument : void
2701    Return   : uint128_t
2702
2703This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3
2704pointer authentication keys.
2705
2706The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness. It will be
2707called each time a core powers up and it is the platform's responsibility to
2708decide when to regenerate the keys if generating them is an expensive operation.
2709
2710This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the
2711Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to 1, 2 or 3.
2712
2713Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory]
2714~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2715
2716::
2717
2718    Argument : void
2719    Return   : unsigned int
2720
2721This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter
2722frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the
2723``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency
2724of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency
2725modes table.
2726
2727#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional]
2728~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2729
2730When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2731bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2732accommodate all the bakery locks.
2733
2734If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2735calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2736nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2737and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2738from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2739accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2740
2741If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2742calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2743assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2744line boundary.

2747
2748SDEI porting requirements
2749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2750
2751The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2752and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2753
2754Macros
2755......
2756
2757Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2758^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2759
2760This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2761Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2762(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2763
2764Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2765^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2766
2767This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2768Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2769(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2770
2771**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2772priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2773be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2774
2775Functions
2776.........
2777
2778Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2779^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2780
2781::
2782
2783  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2784  Return: int
2785
2786This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2787the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2788The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2789
2790The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2791can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2792
2793The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2794
2795The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2796translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2797further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2798DRAM.
2799
2800Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2801^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2802
2803::
2804
2805  Argument: uint64_t
2806  Argument: unsigned int
2807  Return: void
2808
2809|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2810masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2811|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2812time.
2813
2814Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2815events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2816``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2817interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2818
2819The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2820
2821.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2822
2823TRNG porting requirements
2824~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2825
2826The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2827and mandatory functions.
2828
2829Values
2830......
2831
2832value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2833^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2834
2835This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2836the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2837conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2838UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2839w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2840
2841Functions
2842.........
2843
2844Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2845^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2846
2847::
2848
2849  Argument: none
2850  Return: none
2851
2852This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2853hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2854
2855Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2856^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2857
2858::
2859
2860  Argument: uint64_t *
2861  Return: bool
2862  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2863  storage pointed to
2864
2865This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2866is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.

2868.. _psci_in_bl31:
2869
2870Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2871--------------------------------------------
2872
2873The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2874*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2875share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2876specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2877a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2878*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2879*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2880is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2881example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2882logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2883CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2884example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2885organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2886
2887BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2888power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2889correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2890PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2891power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2892CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2893handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2894
2895The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2896describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2897defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2898array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2899level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2900level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2901convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2902passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2903
2904The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2905
2906Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2907~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2908
2909::
2910
2911    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2912    Return   : void
2913
2914This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2915accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2916``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2917differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2918index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2919state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2920residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2921statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2922default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2923
2924Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2925~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2926
2927::
2928
2929    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2930    Return   : void
2931
2932This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2933accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2934of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2935differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2936index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2937state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2938residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2939statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2940default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2941
2942Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2943~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2944
2945::
2946
2947    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2948    Return   : u_register_t
2949
2950This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2951state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2952domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2953all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2954invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2955identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2956argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2957The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2958power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2959CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2960for that power domain.
2961
2962Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]
2963~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2964
2965::
2966
2967    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2968    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2969
2970The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2971state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2972a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2973argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2974power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2975is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2976a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2977states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2978power states.
2979
2980A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2981that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2982of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2983then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2984coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2985of the requested local power state values.
2986
2987Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory]
2988~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2989
2990::
2991
2992    Argument : void
2993    Return   : const unsigned char *
2994
2995This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2996topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2997described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2998initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2999statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
3000the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
3001plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
3002description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
3003form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
3004
3005Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
3006~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3007
3008::
3009
3010    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
3011    Return   : int
3012
3013This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
3014port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
3015called by the primary CPU.
3016
3017This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
3018the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
3019``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
3020platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
3021pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
3022
3023A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
3024the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
3025``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
3026platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
3027structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
3028:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
3029function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
3030structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
3031
3032plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
3033...........................
3034
3035Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
3036indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
3037wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
3038For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
3039the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
3040STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
3041handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
3042issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
3043state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3044
3045plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
3046.............................
3047
3048Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
3049by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
3050return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
3051
3052plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional]
3053...............................................
3054
3055This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
3056powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
3057indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
3058
3059The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3060for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3061
3062For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3063power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3064for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3065coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
3066platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.
3067
3068plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
3069..............................
3070
3071Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
3072and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
3073(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
3074
3075The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3076for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
3077needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
3078at each power level.
3079
3080For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3081power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3082for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3083coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3084
3085plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_validate_suspend() [optional]
3086......................................................
3087
3088This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build
3089option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled.
3090
3091If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific
3092validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to
3093return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
3094PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
3095
3096plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
3097...........................................................
3098
3099This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
3100or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
3101are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
3102calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
3103that data caches are enabled.
3104
3105When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
3106before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
3107power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
3108specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
3109efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
3110= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
3111moving platform specific actions to this function.
3112
3113plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
3114..................................
3115
3116Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
3117CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
3118``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3119API implementation.
3120
3121The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
3122the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
3123target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
3124power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
3125corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
3126expects the handler to succeed.
3127
3128The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
3129in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
3130when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
3131case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
3132execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
3133``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
3134
3135When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
3136Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
3137this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
3138implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
3139sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
3140the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
3141Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
3142Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
3143is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
3144defined sequence.
3145
3146When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
3147``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
3148it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
3149system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
3150allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
3151data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
3152implementation-defined sequence.
3153
3154plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()
3155.......................................
3156
3157This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
3158platform specific actions before the CPU is powered down. Since this function is
3159invoked outside the PSCI locks, the actions performed in this hook must be local
3160to the CPU or the platform must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot
3161occur.
3162
3163The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
3164operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
3165the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3166
3167It is preferred that this function returns. The caller will invoke
3168``wfi()`` to powerdown the CPU, mitigate any powerdown errata,
3169and handle any wakeups that may arise. Previously, this function did not return
3170and instead called ``wfi`` (in an infinite loop) directly. This is still
3171possible on platforms where this is guaranteed to be terminal, however, it is
3172strongly discouraged going forward.
3173
3174Previously this function was called ``pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()`` and invoked
3175``psci_power_down_wfi()`` (now removed).
3176
3177plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
3178....................................
3179
3180This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3181powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
3182It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
3183this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
3184services.
3185
3186The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
3187immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
3188above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
3189low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3190
3191plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
3192...........................................................
3193
3194This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
3195CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
3196the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
3197function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
3198such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
3199overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
3200
3201The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
3202operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3203
3204plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
3205.........................................
3206
3207This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3208powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
3209event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
3210``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
3211setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
3212in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
3213
3214The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
3215the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
3216to succeed.
3217
3218If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
3219suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
3220to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
3221
3222plat_psci_ops.system_off()
3223..........................
3224
3225This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
3226call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
3227notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3228function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3229
3230plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
3231............................
3232
3233This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
3234call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
3235notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3236function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3237
3238plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
3239....................................
3240
3241This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3242call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
3243populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
3244specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
3245return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
3246normal world PSCI client.
3247
3248plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
3249......................................
3250
3251This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
3252``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
3253parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
3254the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
3255propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
3256
3257plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
3258...........................................
3259
3260This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
3261call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
3262domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
3263``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
3264``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
3265enter system suspend.
3266
3267plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
3268.....................................
3269
3270This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
3271implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
3272``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
3273``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
3274supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
3275``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
3276local power states.
3277
3278plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3279..............................................
3280
3281This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3282(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3283domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3284argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3285level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3286populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3287is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3288envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3289targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3290domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3291function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3292``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3293
3294This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3295power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3296APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3297
3298plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3299.................................
3300
3301This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3302the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3303the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3304as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3305Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3306status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3307must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3308appropriate.
3309
3310Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3311``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3312
3313plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3314.............................
3315
3316This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3317called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3318based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3319`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3320reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3321function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3322resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3323and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3324in `PSCI`_. If this function returns success, the caller will call
3325``wfi`` similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3326
3327plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3328.................................
3329
3330This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3331``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3332A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3333disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3334and on success it must return 0.
3335
3336plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3337................................
3338
3339This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3340state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3341failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3342return 0.
3343
3344plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3345...............................
3346
3347This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3348region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3349bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3350then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3353
3354Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3355----------------------------------------
3356
3357BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3358generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3359state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3360described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3361
3362A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3363text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3364platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3365present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3366`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3367and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3368FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3369``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3370details).
3371
3372See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3373
3374Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3376
3377::
3378
3379    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3380    Return   : uint32_t
3381
3382The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3383interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3384controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3385either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3386the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3387from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3388
3389The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3390:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3391interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3392execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3393register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3394
3395In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3396configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3397state.
3398
3399In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3400configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3401interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3402
3403-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3404   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3405-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3406   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3407-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3408   context.

3412
3413::
3414
3415    Argument : void
3416    Return   : uint32_t
3417
3418This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3419platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3420handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3421pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3422``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3423
3424In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3425Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3426the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3427follows.
3428
3429#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3430#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3431#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3432
3433In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3434``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3435is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3436depends upon the id value as follows.
3437
3438#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3439#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3440#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3441#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt.
3442
3443Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_id() [mandatory]

3445
3446::
3447
3448    Argument : void
3449    Return   : uint32_t
3450
3451This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3452platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3453pending.
3454
3455In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3456Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3457pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3458the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3459
3460#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3461#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3462   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3463   This id is returned by the API.
3464#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3465
3466In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3467EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3468group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3469that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3470interrupt controller as follows.
3471
3472#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3473#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3474   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3475   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3476   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3477#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3478   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3479
3480When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3481register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3482Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3483``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3484
3485Function : plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt() [mandatory]
3486~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3487
3488::
3489
3490    Argument : void
3491    Return   : uint32_t
3492
3493This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3494the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3495value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3496The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3497`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3498
3499This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3500Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3501priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3502It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3503
3504In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3505from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3506Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3507reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3508group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3509pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3510unmodified.
3511
3512The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3513interrupt.
3514
3515Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3516~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3517
3518::
3519
3520    Argument : uint32_t
3521    Return   : void
3522
3523This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3524the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3525finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3526``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3527
3528Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3529(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3530system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3531EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3532controller.
3533
3534The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3535interrupt.
3536
3537Function : plat_ic_get_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3538~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3539
3540::
3541
3542    Argument : uint32_t
3543    Return   : uint32_t
3544
3545This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3546``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3547interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3548returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3549IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3550
3551Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3552and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3553corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3554(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3555
3556In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3557Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3558(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3559as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.
3560
3561Registering a console
3562---------------------
3563
3564Platforms will need to implement the TF-A console framework to register and use
3565a console for visual data output in TF-A. These can be used for data output during
3566the different stages of the firmware boot process and also for debugging purposes.
3567
3568The console framework can be used to output data on to a console using a number of
3569TF-A supported UARTs. Multiple consoles can be registered at the same time with
3570different output scopes (BOOT, RUNTIME, CRASH) so that data can be displayed on
3571their respective consoles without unnecessary cluttering of a single console.
3572
3573Information for registering a console can be found in the :ref:`Console Framework` section
3574of the :ref:`System Design` documentation.

3612el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3613
3614Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3615-----------------------------------
3616
3617BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3618of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3619on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3620``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3621
3622The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3623implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3624makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3625output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3626consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3627used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3628
3629.. note::
3630   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3631   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3632   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3633   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3634
3635In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3636normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3637more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3638these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3639console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3640that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3641for an example of this.

3691.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3692
3693External Abort handling and RAS Support
3694---------------------------------------
3695
3696If any cores on the platform support powerdown abandon (check the "Core powerup
3697and powerdown sequence" in their TRMs), then
3698these functions should be able to handle being called with power domains off and
3699after the powerdown ``wfi``. In other words it may run after a call to
3700``pwr_domain_suspend()`` and before a call to ``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``
3701(and their power off counterparts).
3702
3703Should this not be desirable, or if there is no powerdown abandon support, then
3704RAS errors should be masked by writing any relevant error records in any
3705powerdown hooks to prevent deadlocks due to a RAS error after the point of no
3706return. See the core's TRM for further information.
3707
3708Function : plat_ea_handler
3709~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3710
3711::
3712
3713    Argument : int
3714    Argument : uint64_t
3715    Argument : void *
3716    Argument : void *
3717    Argument : uint64_t
3718    Return   : void
3719
3720This function is invoked by the runtime exception handling framework for the
3721platform to handle an External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the
3722function is to attempt to resolve the cause of External Abort and return;
3723if that's not possible then an orderly shutdown of the system is initiated.
3724
3725The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3726Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3727
3728The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3729presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3730nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3731can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3732
3733The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3734(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3735(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3736are received from the top-level exception handler.
3737
3738This function must be implemented if a platform expects Firmware First handling
3739of External Aborts.
3740
3741Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea

3743
3744::
3745
3746    Argument : int
3747    Argument : uint64_t
3748    Return   : void
3749
3750This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3751Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3752Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3753shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3754
3755This function must be implemented in assembly.
3756
3757The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3758
3759The default implementation of this function calls
3760``report_unhandled_exception``.

3770
3771This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3772received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3773``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3774this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3775recover or return.
3776
3777This function must be implemented in assembly.
3778
3779The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3780
3781The default implementation of this function calls

3789    Return   : void
3790
3791This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in

3793orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3794
3795This function must be implemented in assembly.

3801~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3802
3803::
3804
3805    Argument : uint64_t
3806    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3807    Return   : int
3808
3809This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3810system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3811platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3812emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3813
3814The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3815syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3816information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3817
3818The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3819lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3820was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3821register.
3822
3823The return value indicates how to proceed:
3824
3825-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3826-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3827   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3828-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3829   to the next instruction.
3830
3831This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3832
3833Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap
3834~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3835
3836::
3837
3838    Argument : uint64_t
3839    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3840    Return   : int
3841
3842This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3843system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers.
3844It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3845registers choosing to program bits of their choice. If using in combination with
3846``ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY``, the macros
3847{SCR,MDCR,CPTR}_PLAT_{BITS,IGNORED,FLIPPED} should be defined to report correct
3848results.
3849
3850The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3851syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3852
3853The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3854lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3855was trapped.
3856
3857The return value indicates how to proceed:
3858
3859-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3860-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3861   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3862-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3863   to the next instruction.
3864
3865This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables
3866IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP.
3867
3868Build flags
3869-----------
3870
3871There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3872inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3873need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3874build system.
3875
3876-  **NEED_BL33**
3877   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3878   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3879   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3880   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3881   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3882
3883-  **ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR**
3884   By default, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.ARM_ARCH_MINOR is set to 8.0 in ``defaults.mk``,
3885   if the platform makefile/build defines or uses the correct ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and
3886   ARM_ARCH_MINOR then mandatory Architectural features available for that Arch
3887   version will be enabled by default and any optional Arch feature supported by
3888   the Architecture and available in TF-A can be enabled from platform specific
3889   makefile. Look up to ``arch_features.mk`` for details pertaining to mandatory
3890   and optional Arch specific features.
3891
3892Platform include paths
3893----------------------
3894
3895Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3896The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3897particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3898
3899Example:
3900
3901.. code:: c
3902
3903  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3904
3905C Library
3906---------
3907
3908To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3909by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3910to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3911required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3912contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3913more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3914added to the local implementation.
3915
3916Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3917been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3918from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3919files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3920
3921SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3922can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3923
3924Storage abstraction layer
3925-------------------------
3926
3927In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3928layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3929storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3930``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3931
3932.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3933
3934It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3935development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3936the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3937The storage layer is described in the header file
3938``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3939in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3940``drivers/io/``.
3941
3942.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3943
3944Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3945``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3946function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3947implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3948
3949Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3950abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3951phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3952
3953.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3954
3955The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3956initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3957
3958.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3959
3960The basic operations supported by the layer
3961include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3962Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3963provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3964operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3965
3966The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3967firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3968``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3969there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3970to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3971to allow access to the image data.
3972
3973The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3974other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3975physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3976drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3977be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3978
3979The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3980by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3981dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3982amount of open resources per driver.
3983
3984Measured Boot Platform Interface
3985--------------------------------
3986
3987Enabling the MEASURED_BOOT flag adds extra platform requirements. Please refer
