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'.

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.

255-  **#define : BL31_LIMIT**
256
257   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31 image can occupy.
258
259-  **#define : PLAT_RSS_COMMS_PAYLOAD_MAX_SIZE**
260
261   Defines the maximum message size between AP and RSS. Need to define if
262   platform supports RSS.
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**
273
274   BL2 image identifier, used by BL1 to load BL2.

325   defined if CryptoCell crypto driver is used for Trusted Board Boot. For
326   capable Arm platforms, this driver is used if ``ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG`` is
327   set.

435   image. Must be aligned on a page-size boundary.
436
437-  **#define : BL32_LIMIT**
438
439   Defines the maximum address that the BL32 image can occupy.
440
441If the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) instantiation of BL32 is supported by the
442platform, the following constants must also be defined:
443
444-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE**
445
446   Defines the base address of the secure memory used by the TSP image on the
447   platform. This must be at the same address or below ``BL32_BASE``.
448
449-  **#define : TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE**
450

452   platform. ``TSP_SEC_MEM_BASE`` and ``TSP_SEC_MEM_SIZE`` must fully
453   accommodate the memory required by the BL32 image, defined by ``BL32_BASE``
454   and ``BL32_LIMIT``.

457
458   Defines the ID of the secure physical generic timer interrupt used by the
459   TSP's interrupt handling code.
460
461If the platform port uses the translation table library code, the following
462constants must also be defined:
463
464-  **#define : PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC**
465
466   Optional flag that can be set per-image to enable the dynamic allocation of
467   regions even when the MMU is enabled. If not defined, only static
468   functionality will be available, if defined and set to 1 it will also
469   include the dynamic functionality.
470
471-  **#define : MAX_XLAT_TABLES**
472
473   Defines the maximum number of translation tables that are allocated by the
474   translation table library code. To minimize the amount of runtime memory
475   used, choose the smallest value needed to map the required virtual addresses
476   for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is enabled for a BL
477   image, ``MAX_XLAT_TABLES`` must be defined to accommodate the dynamic regions
478   as well.
479
480-  **#define : MAX_MMAP_REGIONS**
481
482   Defines the maximum number of regions that are allocated by the translation
483   table library code. A region consists of physical base address, virtual base
484   address, size and attributes (Device/Memory, RO/RW, Secure/Non-Secure), as
485   defined in the ``mmap_region_t`` structure. The platform defines the regions
486   that should be mapped. Then, the translation table library will create the
487   corresponding tables and descriptors at runtime. To minimize the amount of
488   runtime memory used, choose the smallest value needed to register the
489   required regions for each BL stage. If ``PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC`` flag is
490   enabled for a BL image, ``MAX_MMAP_REGIONS`` must be defined to accommodate
491   the dynamic regions as well.
492
493-  **#define : PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
494
495   Defines the total size of the virtual address space in bytes. For example,
496   for a 32 bit virtual address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
497
498-  **#define : PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE**
499
500   Defines the total size of the physical address space in bytes. For example,
501   for a 32 bit physical address space, this value should be ``(1ULL << 32)``.
502
503If the platform port uses the IO storage framework, the following constants
504must also be defined:
505
506-  **#define : MAX_IO_DEVICES**
507
508   Defines the maximum number of registered IO devices. Attempting to register
509   more devices than this value using ``io_register_device()`` will fail with
510   -ENOMEM.
511
512-  **#define : MAX_IO_HANDLES**
513
514   Defines the maximum number of open IO handles. Attempting to open more IO
515   entities than this value using ``io_open()`` will fail with -ENOMEM.
516
517-  **#define : MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES**
518
519   Defines the maximum number of registered IO block devices. Attempting to
520   register more devices this value using ``io_dev_open()`` will fail
521   with -ENOMEM. MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be less than MAX_IO_DEVICES.
522   With this macro, multiple block devices could be supported at the same
523   time.
524
525If the platform needs to allocate data within the per-cpu data framework in
526BL31, it should define the following macro. Currently this is only required if
527the platform decides not to use the coherent memory section by undefining the
528``USE_COHERENT_MEM`` build flag. In this case, the framework allocates the
529required memory within the the per-cpu data to minimize wastage.
530

532
533   Defines the memory (in bytes) to be reserved within the per-cpu data
534   structure for use by the platform layer.
535
536The following constants are optional. They should be defined when the platform
537memory layout implies some image overlaying like in Arm standard platforms.
538
539-  **#define : BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
540
541   Defines the maximum address in secure RAM that the BL31's progbits sections
542   can occupy.
543
544-  **#define : TSP_PROGBITS_LIMIT**
545
546   Defines the maximum address that the TSP's progbits sections can occupy.
547
548If the platform supports OS-initiated mode, i.e. the build option
549``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, and if the platform's maximum power domain
550level for PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND differs from ``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``, the following
551constant must be defined.
552
553-  **#define : PLAT_MAX_CPU_SUSPEND_PWR_LVL**
554
555   Defines the maximum power domain level that PSCI_CPU_SUSPEND should apply to.
556
557If the platform port uses the PL061 GPIO driver, the following constant may
558optionally be defined:
559
560-  **PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS**
561   Maximum number of GPIOs required by the platform. This allows control how
562   much memory is allocated for PL061 GPIO controllers. The default value is
563
564   #. $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PL061_MAX_GPIOS))
565
566If the platform port uses the partition driver, the following constant may
567optionally be defined:
568
569-  **PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES**
570   Maximum number of partition entries required by the platform. This allows
571   control how much memory is allocated for partition entries. The default
572   value is 128.
573   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
574   PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES := 12
575   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_MAX_ENTRIES))
576
577-  **PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE**
578   The size of partition block. It could be either 512 bytes or 4096 bytes.
579   The default value is 512.
580   For example, define the build flag in ``platform.mk``:
581   PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE := 4096
582   $(eval $(call add_define,PLAT_PARTITION_BLOCK_SIZE))
583
584If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver, the following
585configuration must be performed:
586
587- The NPU SiP service handler must be hooked up. This consists of both the
588  initial setup (``ethosn_smc_setup``) and the handler itself
589  (``ethosn_smc_handler``)
590
591If the platform port uses the Arm® Ethos™-N NPU driver with TZMP1 support
592enabled, the following constants and configuration must also be defined:
593
594- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_FW_NSAID**
595
596  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use to
597  access the protected memory that contains the NPU's firmware.
598
599- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RW_NSAID**
600
601  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
602  read/write access to the protected memory that contains inference data.
603
604- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_PROT_DATA_RO_NSAID**
605
606  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for

610
611  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
612  read/write access to the non-protected memory.
613

615
616  Defines the Non-secure Access IDentity (NSAID) that the NPU shall use for
617  read-only access to the non-protected memory.
618
619- **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE** and **ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT**
620
621  Defines the physical address range that the NPU's firmware will be loaded
622  into and executed from.
623
624- Configure the platforms TrustZone Controller (TZC) with appropriate regions
625  of protected memory. At minimum this must include a region for the NPU's
626  firmware code and a region for protected inference data, and these must be
627  accessible using the NSAIDs defined above.
628
629- Include the NPU firmware and certificates in the FIP.
630
631- Provide FCONF entries to configure the image source for the NPU firmware
632  and certificates.
633
634- Add MMU mappings such that:
635
636 - BL2 can write the NPU firmware into the region defined by
637   ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_BASE`` and ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_LIMIT``
638 - BL31 (SiP service) can read the NPU firmware from the same region
639
640- Add the firmware image ID ``ARM_ETHOSN_NPU_FW_IMAGE_ID`` to the list of images
641  loaded by BL2.
642
643Please see the reference implementation code for the Juno platform as an example.
644
645
646The following constant is optional. It should be defined to override the default
647behaviour of the ``assert()`` function (for example, to save memory).
648
649-  **PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT**
650   If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` is higher or equal than ``LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE``,
651   ``assert()`` prints the name of the file, the line number and the asserted
652   expression. Else if it is higher than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it prints the file
653   name and the line number. Else if it is lower than ``LOG_LEVEL_INFO``, it
654   doesn't print anything to the console. If ``PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`` isn't
655   defined, it defaults to ``LOG_LEVEL``.
656
657If the platform port uses the DRTM feature, the following constants must be
658defined:
659
660-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE**
661
662   Maximum Event Log size used by the platform. Platform can decide the maximum
663   size of the Event Log buffer, depending upon the highest hash algorithm
664   chosen and the number of components selected to measure during the DRTM
665   execution flow.
666
667-  **#define : PLAT_DRTM_MMAP_ENTRIES**
668
669   Number of the MMAP entries used by the DRTM implementation to calculate the
670   size of address map region of the platform.
671
672File : plat_macros.S [mandatory]
673~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
674
675Each platform must ensure a file of this name is in the system include path with
676the following macro defined. In the Arm development platforms, this file is
677found in ``plat/arm/board/<plat_name>/include/plat_macros.S``.
678
679-  **Macro : plat_crash_print_regs**
680
681   This macro allows the crash reporting routine to print relevant platform
682   registers in case of an unhandled exception in BL31. This aids in debugging
683   and this macro can be defined to be empty in case register reporting is not
684   desired.
685
686   For instance, GIC or interconnect registers may be helpful for
687   troubleshooting.
688
689Handling Reset
690--------------
691
692BL1 by default implements the reset vector where execution starts from a cold
693or warm boot. BL31 can be optionally set as a reset vector using the
694``RESET_TO_BL31`` make variable.
695
696For each CPU, the reset vector code is responsible for the following tasks:
697
698#. Distinguishing between a cold boot and a warm boot.
699
700#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being a secondary CPU, ensuring that
701   the CPU is placed in a platform-specific state until the primary CPU
702   performs the necessary steps to remove it from this state.
703
704#. In the case of a warm boot, ensuring that the CPU jumps to a platform-
705   specific address in the BL31 image in the same processor mode as it was
706   when released from reset.
707
708The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
709reset vector code to perform the above tasks.
710
711Function : plat_get_my_entrypoint() [mandatory when PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS == 0]
712~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
713
714::
715
716    Argument : void
717    Return   : uintptr_t
718
719This function is called with the MMU and caches disabled
720(``SCTLR_EL3.M`` = 0 and ``SCTLR_EL3.C`` = 0). The function is responsible for
721distinguishing between a warm and cold reset for the current CPU using
722platform-specific means. If it's a warm reset, then it returns the warm
723reset entrypoint point provided to ``plat_setup_psci_ops()`` during
724BL31 initialization. If it's a cold reset then this function must return zero.
725
726This function does not follow the Procedure Call Standard used by the
727Application Binary Interface for the Arm 64-bit architecture. The caller should
728not assume that callee saved registers are preserved across a call to this
729function.
730
731This function fulfills requirement 1 and 3 listed above.
732
733Note that for platforms that support programming the reset address, it is
734expected that a CPU will start executing code directly at the right address,
735both on a cold and warm reset. In this case, there is no need to identify the
736type of reset nor to query the warm reset entrypoint. Therefore, implementing
737this function is not required on such platforms.
738
739Function : plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741
742::
743
744    Argument : void
745
746This function is called with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is responsible
747for placing the executing secondary CPU in a platform-specific state until the
748primary CPU performs the necessary actions to bring it out of that state and
749allow entry into the OS. This function must not return.
750
751In the Arm FVP port, when using the normal boot flow, each secondary CPU powers
752itself off. The primary CPU is responsible for powering up the secondary CPUs
753when normal world software requires them. When booting an EL3 payload instead,
754they stay powered on and are put in a holding pen until their mailbox gets
755populated.
756
757This function fulfills requirement 2 above.
758
759Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
760primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, implementing this
761function is not required on such platforms.
762
763Function : plat_is_my_cpu_primary() [mandatory when COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU == 0]
764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
765
766::
767
768    Argument : void
769    Return   : unsigned int
770
771This function identifies whether the current CPU is the primary CPU or a
772secondary CPU. A return value of zero indicates that the CPU is not the
773primary CPU, while a non-zero return value indicates that the CPU is the
774primary CPU.
775
776Note that for platforms that can't release secondary CPUs out of reset, only the
777primary CPU will execute the cold boot code. Therefore, there is no need to
778distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and implementing this function is
779not required.
780
781Function : platform_mem_init() [mandatory]
782~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
783
784::
785
786    Argument : void
787    Return   : void
788
789This function is called before any access to data is made by the firmware, in
790order to carry out any essential memory initialization.
791
792Function: plat_get_rotpk_info()
793~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
794
795::
796
797    Argument : void *, void **, unsigned int *, unsigned int *
798    Return   : int
799
800This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns a
801pointer to the ROTPK stored in the platform (or a hash of it) and its length.
802The ROTPK must be encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1
803structure:
804
805::
806
807    AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
808        algorithm         OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
809        parameters        ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
810    }
811
812    SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
813        algorithm         AlgorithmIdentifier,
814        subjectPublicKey  BIT STRING
815    }
816
817In case the function returns a hash of the key:
818
819::
820
821    DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
822        digestAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
823        digest            OCTET STRING
824    }
825
826The function returns 0 on success. Any other value is treated as error by the
827Trusted Board Boot. The function also reports extra information related
828to the ROTPK in the flags parameter:
829
830::
831
832    ROTPK_IS_HASH      : Indicates that the ROTPK returned by the platform is a
833                         hash.
834    ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED : This allows the platform to skip certificate ROTPK
835                         verification while the platform ROTPK is not deployed.
836                         When this flag is set, the function does not need to
837                         return a platform ROTPK, and the authentication
838                         framework uses the ROTPK in the certificate without
839                         verifying it against the platform value. This flag
840                         must not be used in a deployed production environment.
841
842Function: plat_get_nv_ctr()
843~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
844
845::
846
847    Argument : void *, unsigned int *
848    Return   : int
849
850This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It returns the
851non-volatile counter value stored in the platform in the second argument. The
852cookie in the first argument may be used to select the counter in case the
853platform provides more than one (for example, on platforms that use the default
854TBBR CoT, the cookie will correspond to the OID values defined in
855TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID or NON_TRUSTED_FW_NVCOUNTER_OID).
856
857The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
858not be retrieved from the platform.
859
860Function: plat_set_nv_ctr()
861~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
862
863::
864
865    Argument : void *, unsigned int
866    Return   : int
867
868This function is mandatory when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. It sets a new
869counter value in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be used to
870select the counter (as explained in plat_get_nv_ctr()). The second argument is
871the updated counter value to be written to the NV counter.
872
873The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value could
874not be updated.
875
876Function: plat_set_nv_ctr2()
877~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
878
879::
880
881    Argument : void *, const auth_img_desc_t *, unsigned int
882    Return   : int
883
884This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled. If this
885interface is defined, then ``plat_set_nv_ctr()`` need not be defined. The
886first argument passed is a cookie and is typically used to
887differentiate between a Non Trusted NV Counter and a Trusted NV
888Counter. The second argument is a pointer to an authentication image
889descriptor and may be used to decide if the counter is allowed to be
890updated or not. The third argument is the updated counter value to
891be written to the NV counter.
892
893The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the counter value
894either could not be updated or the authentication image descriptor indicates
895that it is not allowed to be updated.
896
897Function: plat_convert_pk()
898~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
899
900::
901
902    Argument : void *, unsigned int, void **, unsigned int *
903    Return   : int
904
905This function is optional when Trusted Board Boot is enabled, and only
906used if the platform saves a hash of the ROTPK.
907First argument is the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) ROTPK.
908Second argument is its size.
909Third argument is used to return a pointer to a buffer, which hash should
910be the one saved in OTP.
911Fourth argument is a pointer to return its size.
912
913Most platforms save the hash of the ROTPK, but some may save slightly different
914information - e.g the hash of the ROTPK plus some related information.
915Defining this function allows to transform the ROTPK used to verify
916the signature to the buffer (a platform specific public key) which
917hash is saved in OTP.
918
919The default implementation copies the input key and length to the output without
920modification.
921
922The function returns 0 on success. Any other value means the expected
923public key buffer cannot be extracted.
924

963managed by an SMMU, otherwise returns *false*.
964
965Note -
966If the platform has peripherals that are not managed by the SMMU, then the
967platform should investigate such peripherals to determine whether they can
968be trusted, and such peripherals should be moved under "Non-host platforms"
969if they can be trusted.

1092non-volatile storage and returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
1093
1094Function : plat_get_drtm_error()
1095~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1096
1097::
1098
1099    Argument : uint64_t*
1100    Return   : int
1101
1102This function reads a 64 bit error code from the non-volatile storage
1103into the received address, and returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
1104
1105Common mandatory function modifications
1106---------------------------------------
1107
1108The following functions are mandatory functions which need to be implemented
1109by the platform port.
1110
1111Function : plat_my_core_pos()
1112~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1113
1114::
1115
1116    Argument : void
1117    Return   : unsigned int
1118
1119This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
1120CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
1121per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
1122initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
1123implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
1124runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
1125x9 - x29.
1126
1127This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
1128PSCI and details of this can be found in
1129:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1130
1131Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
1132~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1133
1134::
1135
1136    Argument : u_register_t
1137    Return   : int
1138
1139This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
1140which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
1141case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
1142be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
1143utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
1144represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU
1145index, please refer :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1146
1147Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
1148~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1149
1150::
1151
1152    Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
1153    Return    : int
1154
1155This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
1156by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
1157internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
1158must be able to provide a heap to it.
1159
1160A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
1161which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
1162(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
1163the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
1164For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
1165from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
1166
1167However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
1168optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
1169shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
1170twice.
1171
1172On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1173
1174Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]
1175~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1176
1177::
1178
1179    Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key,
1180                size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
1181                size_t img_id_len
1182    Return    : int
1183
1184This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
1185fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
1186firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
1187implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
1188trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
1189
1190It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
1191actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
1192secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
1193flag must be set in ``flags``.
1194
1195In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
1196symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
1197
1198On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1199
1200Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
1201
1202Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1204
1205::
1206
1207    Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata
1208    Return   : void
1209
1210This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
1211It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
1212non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
1213FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
1214image specification information.
1215Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
1216images rely on this function call.
1217
1218In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
1219container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
1220
1221Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1223
1224::
1225
1226    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
1227               uintptr_t *image_spec
1228    Return   : int
1229
1230This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
1231responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
1232image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
1233be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
1234
1235FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
1236to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
1237statically in I/O policy.
1238For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
1239partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
1240that needs to be parsed dynamically.
1241This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
1242the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
1243Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
1244image relies on this function call.
1245
1246It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
1247Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
1248of the requested FWU metadata image.
1249
1250Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1251~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1252
1253::
1254
1255    Argument : void
1256    Return   : uint32_t
1257
1258This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
1259means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
1260bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
1261
1262By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
1263the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
1264reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
1265resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
1266from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
1267should boot its images from.
1268
1269Common optional modifications
1270-----------------------------
1271
1272The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
1273common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these
1274definitions.
1275
1276Function : plat_set_my_stack()
1277~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1278
1279::
1280
1281    Argument : void
1282    Return   : void
1283
1284This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that
1285has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1286stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1287of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1288constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1289
1290Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1291provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1292``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1293
1294Function : plat_get_my_stack()
1295~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1296
1297::
1298
1299    Argument : void
1300    Return   : uintptr_t
1301
1302This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that
1303has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1304stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1305of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1306constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1307
1308Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1309provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1310``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1311
1312Function : plat_report_exception()
1313~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1314
1315::
1316
1317    Argument : unsigned int
1318    Return   : void
1319
1320A platform may need to report various information about its status when an
1321exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security
1322state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1323called in the following circumstances:
1324
1325-  In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1326-  In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1327
1328The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1329about the way the platform displays its status information.
1330
1331For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1332Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
1333``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
1334related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
1335
1336For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.
1337Possible values for exception modes are listed in the
1338``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file.
1339
1340Function : plat_reset_handler()
1341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1342
1343::
1344
1345    Argument : void
1346    Return   : void
1347
1348A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function
1349allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform
1350specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should
1351preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29.
1352
1353The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override
1354the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general
1355guidelines.
1356
1357Function : plat_disable_acp()
1358~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1359
1360::
1361
1362    Argument : void
1363    Return   : void
1364
1365This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if
1366present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation
1367doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence,
1368it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as
1369scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used
1370by the caller to store the return address.
1371
1372Function : plat_error_handler()
1373~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1374
1375::
1376
1377    Argument : int
1378    Return   : void
1379
1380This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from
1381which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or
1382recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return.
1383
1384The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``.
1385Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
1386
1387-  ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted
1388   Board Boot is enabled)
1389-  ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO
1390   error was detected
1391-  ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this
1392   error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size
1393
1394The default implementation simply spins.
1395
1396Function : plat_panic_handler()
1397~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1398
1399::
1400
1401    Argument : void
1402    Return   : void
1403
1404This API is called when the generic code encounters an unexpected error
1405situation from which it cannot recover. This function must not return,
1406and must be implemented in assembly because it may be called before the C
1407environment is initialized.
1408
1409.. note::
1410   The address from where it was called is stored in x30 (Link Register).
1411   The default implementation simply spins.
1412
1413Function : plat_system_reset()
1414~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1415
1416::
1417
1418    Argument : void
1419    Return   : void
1420
1421This function is used by the platform to resets the system. It can be used
1422in any specific use-case where system needs to be resetted. For example,
1423in case of DRTM implementation this function reset the system after
1424writing the DRTM error code in the non-volatile storage. This function
1425never returns. Failure in reset results in panic.
1426
1427Function : plat_get_bl_image_load_info()
1428~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1429
1430::
1431
1432    Argument : void
1433    Return   : bl_load_info_t *
1434
1435This function returns pointer to the list of images that the platform has
1436populated to load. This function is invoked in BL2 to load the
1437BL3xx images.
1438
1439Function : plat_get_next_bl_params()
1440~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1441
1442::
1443
1444    Argument : void
1445    Return   : bl_params_t *
1446
1447This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the platform has
1448kept aside to pass TF-A related information that next BL image needs. This
1449function is invoked in BL2 to pass this information to the next BL
1450image.
1451
1452Function : plat_get_stack_protector_canary()
1453~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1454
1455::
1456
1457    Argument : void
1458    Return   : u_register_t
1459
1460This function returns a random value that is used to initialize the canary used
1461when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable
1462value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right
1463value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a
1464true random number.
1465
1466.. warning::
1467   For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at
1468   a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an
1469   attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack.
1470
1471Function : plat_flush_next_bl_params()
1472~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1473
1474::
1475
1476    Argument : void
1477    Return   : void
1478
1479This function flushes to main memory all the image params that are passed to
1480next image. This function is invoked in BL2 to flush this information
1481to the next BL image.
1482
1483Function : plat_log_get_prefix()
1484~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1485
1486::
1487
1488    Argument : unsigned int
1489    Return   : const char *
1490
1491This function defines the prefix string corresponding to the `log_level` to be
1492prepended to all the log output from TF-A. The `log_level` (argument) will
1493correspond to one of the standard log levels defined in debug.h. The platform
1494can override the common implementation to define a different prefix string for
1495the log output. The implementation should be robust to future changes that
1496increase the number of log levels.
1497
1498Function : plat_get_soc_version()
1499~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1500
1501::
1502
1503    Argument : void
1504    Return   : int32_t
1505
1506This function returns soc version which mainly consist of below fields
1507
1508::
1509
1510    soc_version[30:24] = JEP-106 continuation code for the SiP
1511    soc_version[23:16] = JEP-106 identification code with parity bit for the SiP
1512    soc_version[15:0]  = Implementation defined SoC ID
1513
1514Function : plat_get_soc_revision()
1515~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1516
1517::
1518
1519    Argument : void
1520    Return   : int32_t
1521
1522This function returns soc revision in below format
1523
1524::
1525
1526    soc_revision[0:30] = SOC revision of specific SOC
1527
1528Function : plat_is_smccc_feature_available()
1529~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1530
1531::
1532
1533    Argument : u_register_t
1534    Return   : int32_t
1535
1536This function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS if the platform supports
1537the SMCCC function specified in the argument; otherwise returns
1538SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED.
1539
1540Function : plat_mboot_measure_image()
1541~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1542
1543::
1544
1545    Argument : unsigned int, image_info_t *
1546    Return   : int
1547
1548When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1549
1550-  This function measures the given image and records its measurement using
1551   the measured boot backend driver.
1552-  On the Arm FVP port, this function measures the given image using its
1553   passed id and information and then records that measurement in the
1554   Event Log buffer.
1555-  This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
1556   otherwise.
1557
1558When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1559
1560Function : plat_mboot_measure_critical_data()
1561~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1562
1563::
1564
1565    Argument : unsigned int, const void *, size_t
1566    Return   : int
1567
1568When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1569
1570-  This function measures the given critical data structure and records its
1571   measurement using the measured boot backend driver.
1572-  This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
1573   otherwise.
1574
1575When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1576
1577Function : plat_can_cmo()
1578~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1579
1580::
1581
1582    Argument : void
1583    Return   : uint64_t
1584
1585When CONDITIONAL_CMO flag is enabled:
1586
1587- This function indicates whether cache management operations should be
1588  performed. It returns 0 if CMOs should be skipped and non-zero
1589  otherwise.
1590- The function must not clobber x1, x2 and x3. It's also not safe to rely on
1591  stack. Otherwise obey AAPCS.
1592
1593Modifications specific to a Boot Loader stage
1594---------------------------------------------
1595
1596Boot Loader Stage 1 (BL1)
1597-------------------------
1598
1599BL1 implements the reset vector where execution starts from after a cold or
1600warm boot. For each CPU, BL1 is responsible for the following tasks:
1601
1602#. Handling the reset as described in section 2.2
1603
1604#. In the case of a cold boot and the CPU being the primary CPU, ensuring that
1605   only this CPU executes the remaining BL1 code, including loading and passing
1606   control to the BL2 stage.
1607
1608#. Identifying and starting the Firmware Update process (if required).
1609
1610#. Loading the BL2 image from non-volatile storage into secure memory at the
1611   address specified by the platform defined constant ``BL2_BASE``.
1612
1613#. Populating a ``meminfo`` structure with the following information in memory,
1614   accessible by BL2 immediately upon entry.
1615
1616   ::
1617
1618       meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL2
1619       meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL2
1620
1621   By default, BL1 places this ``meminfo`` structure at the end of secure
1622   memory visible to BL2.
1623
1624   It is possible for the platform to decide where it wants to place the
1625   ``meminfo`` structure for BL2 or restrict the amount of memory visible to
1626   BL2 by overriding the weak default implementation of
1627   ``bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load`` API.
1628
1629The following functions need to be implemented by the platform port to enable
1630BL1 to perform the above tasks.
1631
1632Function : bl1_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1633~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1634
1635::
1636
1637    Argument : void
1638    Return   : void
1639
1640This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1641by the primary CPU.
1642
1643On Arm standard platforms, this function:
1644
1645-  Enables a secure instance of SP805 to act as the Trusted Watchdog.
1646

1657::
1658
1659    Argument : void
1660    Return   : void
1661
1662This function performs any platform-specific and architectural setup that the
1663platform requires. Platform-specific setup might include configuration of
1664memory controllers and the interconnect.
1665
1666In Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1667
1668This function helps fulfill requirement 2 above.

1670Function : bl1_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1671~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1672
1673::
1674
1675    Argument : void
1676    Return   : void
1677
1678This function executes with the MMU and data caches enabled. It is responsible
1679for performing any remaining platform-specific setup that can occur after the
1680MMU and data cache have been enabled.
1681
1682if support for multiple boot sources is required, it initializes the boot
1683sequence used by plat_try_next_boot_source().
1684
1685In Arm standard platforms, this function initializes the storage abstraction
1686layer used to load the next bootloader image.
1687
1688This function helps fulfill requirement 4 above.
1689
1690Function : bl1_plat_sec_mem_layout() [mandatory]
1691~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1692
1693::
1694
1695    Argument : void
1696    Return   : meminfo *
1697
1698This function should only be called on the cold boot path. It executes with the
1699MMU and data caches enabled. The pointer returned by this function must point to
1700a ``meminfo`` structure containing the extents and availability of secure RAM for
1701the BL1 stage.
1702
1703::
1704
1705    meminfo.total_base = Base address of secure RAM visible to BL1
1706    meminfo.total_size = Size of secure RAM visible to BL1
1707
1708This information is used by BL1 to load the BL2 image in secure RAM. BL1 also
1709populates a similar structure to tell BL2 the extents of memory available for
1710its own use.
1711
1712This function helps fulfill requirements 4 and 5 above.
1713
1714Function : bl1_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
1715~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1716
1717::
1718
1719    Argument : entry_point_info_t *
1720    Return   : void
1721
1722This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
1723``BL1_SMC_RUN_IMAGE`` SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
1724platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring
1725control to the next image. It receives the address of the ``entry_point_info_t``
1726structure passed from BL2. This function runs with MMU disabled.
1727
1728Function : bl1_plat_set_ep_info() [optional]
1729~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1730
1731::
1732
1733    Argument : unsigned int image_id, entry_point_info_t *ep_info
1734    Return   : void
1735
1736This function allows platforms to override ``ep_info`` for the given ``image_id``.
1737
1738The default implementation just returns.
1739
1740Function : bl1_plat_get_next_image_id() [optional]
1741~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1742
1743::
1744
1745    Argument : void
1746    Return   : unsigned int
1747
1748This and the following function must be overridden to enable the FWU feature.
1749
1750BL1 calls this function after platform setup to identify the next image to be
1751loaded and executed. If the platform returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID`` then BL1 proceeds
1752with the normal boot sequence, which loads and executes BL2. If the platform
1753returns a different image id, BL1 assumes that Firmware Update is required.
1754
1755The default implementation always returns ``BL2_IMAGE_ID``. The Arm development
1756platforms override this function to detect if firmware update is required, and
1757if so, return the first image in the firmware update process.
1758
1759Function : bl1_plat_get_image_desc() [optional]
1760~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1761
1762::
1763
1764    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1765    Return   : image_desc_t *
1766
1767BL1 calls this function to get the image descriptor information ``image_desc_t``
1768for the provided ``image_id`` from the platform.
1769
1770The default implementation always returns a common BL2 image descriptor. Arm
1771standard platforms return an image descriptor corresponding to BL2 or one of
1772the firmware update images defined in the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
1773specification.
1774
1775Function : bl1_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1776~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1777
1778::
1779
1780    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1781    Return   : int
1782
1783This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1784corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1785boot and FWU code path, before loading the image.
1786
1787Function : bl1_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1788~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1789
1790::
1791
1792    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1793    Return   : int
1794
1795This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1796corresponding to ``image_id``. This function is invoked in BL1, both in cold
1797boot and FWU code path, after loading and authenticating the image.
1798
1799The default weak implementation of this function calculates the amount of
1800Trusted SRAM that can be used by BL2 and allocates a ``meminfo_t``
1801structure at the beginning of this free memory and populates it. The address
1802of ``meminfo_t`` structure is updated in ``arg1`` of the entrypoint
1803information to BL2.
1804
1805Function : bl1_plat_fwu_done() [optional]
1806~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1807
1808::
1809
1810    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t image_src,
1811               unsigned int image_size
1812    Return   : void
1813
1814BL1 calls this function when the FWU process is complete. It must not return.
1815The platform may override this function to take platform specific action, for
1816example to initiate the normal boot flow.
1817
1818The default implementation spins forever.
1819
1820Function : bl1_plat_mem_check() [mandatory]
1821~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1822
1823::
1824
1825    Argument : uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
1826               unsigned int flags
1827    Return   : int
1828
1829BL1 calls this function while handling FWU related SMCs, more specifically when
1830copying or authenticating an image. Its responsibility is to ensure that the
1831region of memory identified by ``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` is mapped in BL1, and
1832that this memory corresponds to either a secure or non-secure memory region as
1833indicated by the security state of the ``flags`` argument.
1834
1835This function can safely assume that the value resulting from the addition of
1836``mem_base`` and ``mem_size`` fits into a ``uintptr_t`` type variable and does not
1837overflow.
1838
1839This function must return 0 on success, a non-null error code otherwise.
1840
1841The default implementation of this function asserts therefore platforms must
1842override it when using the FWU feature.
1843
1844Function : bl1_plat_mboot_init() [optional]
1845~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1846
1847::
1848
1849    Argument : void
1850    Return   : void
1851
1852When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1853
1854-  This function is used to initialize the backend driver(s) of measured boot.
1855-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to initialize the Event Log
1856   backend driver, and also to write header information in the Event Log buffer.
1857
1858When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1859
1860Function : bl1_plat_mboot_finish() [optional]
1861~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1862
1863::
1864
1865    Argument : void
1866    Return   : void
1867
1868When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
1869
1870-  This function is used to finalize the measured boot backend driver(s),
1871   and also, set the information for the next bootloader component to
1872   extend the measurement if needed.
1873-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to pass the base address of
1874   the Event Log buffer and its size to BL2 via tb_fw_config to extend the
1875   Event Log buffer with the measurement of various images loaded by BL2.
1876   It results in panic on error.
1877
1878When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
1879
1880Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2)
1881-------------------------
1882
1883The BL2 stage is executed only by the primary CPU, which is determined in BL1
1884using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passed control to BL2 at
1885``BL2_BASE``. BL2 executes in Secure EL1 and and invokes
1886``plat_get_bl_image_load_info()`` to retrieve the list of images to load from
1887non-volatile storage to secure/non-secure RAM. After all the images are loaded
1888then BL2 invokes ``plat_get_next_bl_params()`` to get the list of executable
1889images to be passed to the next BL image.
1890
1891The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL2
1892to perform the above tasks.
1893
1894Function : bl2_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
1895~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1896
1897::
1898
1899    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
1900    Return   : void
1901
1902This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1903by the primary CPU. The 4 arguments are passed by BL1 to BL2 and these arguments
1904are platform specific.
1905
1906On Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
1907
1908    arg0 - Points to load address of FW_CONFIG
1909
1910    arg1 - ``meminfo`` structure populated by BL1. The platform copies
1911    the contents of ``meminfo`` as it may be subsequently overwritten by BL2.
1912
1913On Arm standard platforms, this function also:
1914
1915-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1916   family of functions in BL2.
1917
1918-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
1919   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
1920   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
1921
1922Function : bl2_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
1923~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1924

1929
1930This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
1931by the primary CPU.
1932
1933The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
1934that varies across platforms.
1935
1936On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
1937
1938Function : bl2_platform_setup() [mandatory]
1939~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1940
1941::
1942
1943    Argument : void
1944    Return   : void
1945
1946This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
1947port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
1948called by the primary CPU.
1949
1950The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
1951specific to BL2.
1952
1953In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
1954configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
1955to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.
1956
1957Function : bl2_plat_handle_pre_image_load() [optional]
1958~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1959
1960::
1961
1962    Argument : unsigned int
1963    Return   : int
1964
1965This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1966for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 before
1967loading each image.
1968
1969Function : bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load() [optional]
1970~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1971
1972::
1973
1974    Argument : unsigned int
1975    Return   : int
1976
1977This function can be used by the platforms to update/use image information
1978for given ``image_id``. This function is currently invoked in BL2 after
1979loading each image.
1980
1981Function : bl2_plat_preload_setup [optional]
1982~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1983
1984::
1985
1986    Argument : void
1987    Return   : void
1988
1989This optional function performs any BL2 platform initialization
1990required before image loading, that is not done later in
1991bl2_platform_setup(). Specifically, if support for multiple
1992boot sources is required, it initializes the boot sequence used by
1993plat_try_next_boot_source().
1994
1995Function : plat_try_next_boot_source() [optional]
1996~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1997
1998::
1999
2000    Argument : void
2001    Return   : int
2002
2003This optional function passes to the next boot source in the redundancy
2004sequence.
2005
2006This function moves the current boot redundancy source to the next
2007element in the boot sequence. If there are no more boot sources then it
2008must return 0, otherwise it must return 1. The default implementation
2009of this always returns 0.
2010
2011Function : bl2_plat_mboot_init() [optional]
2012~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2013
2014::
2015
2016    Argument : void
2017    Return   : void
2018
2019When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
2020
2021-  This function is used to initialize the backend driver(s) of measured boot.
2022-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to initialize the Event Log
2023   backend driver with the Event Log buffer information (base address and
2024   size) received from BL1. It results in panic on error.
2025
2026When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
2027
2028Function : bl2_plat_mboot_finish() [optional]

2034    Return   : void
2035
2036When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is enabled:
2037
2038-  This function is used to finalize the measured boot backend driver(s),
2039   and also, set the information for the next bootloader component to extend
2040   the measurement if needed.
2041-  On the Arm FVP port, this function is used to pass the Event Log buffer
2042   information (base address and size) to non-secure(BL33) and trusted OS(BL32)
2043   via nt_fw and tos_fw config respectively. It results in panic on error.
2044
2045When the MEASURED_BOOT flag is disabled, this function doesn't do anything.
2046
2047Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2) at EL3
2048--------------------------------
2049
2050When the platform has a non-TF-A Boot ROM it is desirable to jump
2051directly to BL2 instead of TF-A BL1. In this case BL2 is expected to
2052execute at EL3 instead of executing at EL1. Refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design`
2053document for more information.
2054
2055All mandatory functions of BL2 must be implemented, except the functions
2056bl2_early_platform_setup and bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup, because
2057their work is done now by bl2_el3_early_platform_setup and
2058bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup. These functions should generally implement
2059the bl1_plat_xxx() and bl2_plat_xxx() functionality combined.
2060
2061
2062Function : bl2_el3_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2063~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2065::
2066
2067	Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2068	Return   : void
2069
2070This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2071by the primary CPU. This function receives four parameters which can be used
2072by the platform to pass any needed information from the Boot ROM to BL2.
2073
2074On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2075
2076-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2077   family of functions in BL2.
2078
2079-  Initializes the storage abstraction layer used to load further bootloader
2080   images. It is necessary to do this early on platforms with a SCP_BL2 image,
2081   since the later ``bl2_platform_setup`` must be done after SCP_BL2 is loaded.
2082
2083- Initializes the private variables that define the memory layout used.
2084
2085Function : bl2_el3_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]
2086~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2087
2088::
2089
2090	Argument : void
2091	Return   : void
2092
2093This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2094by the primary CPU.
2095
2096The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2097that varies across platforms.
2098
2099On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2100
2101Function : bl2_el3_plat_prepare_exit() [optional]
2102~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2103
2104::
2105
2106	Argument : void
2107	Return   : void
2108
2109This function is called prior to exiting BL2 and run the next image.
2110It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping
2111operations before transferring control to the next image. This function
2112runs with MMU disabled.
2113
2114FWU Boot Loader Stage 2 (BL2U)
2115------------------------------
2116
2117The AP Firmware Updater Configuration, BL2U, is an optional part of the FWU
2118process and is executed only by the primary CPU. BL1 passes control to BL2U at
2119``BL2U_BASE``. BL2U executes in Secure-EL1 and is responsible for:
2120
2121#. (Optional) Transferring the optional SCP_BL2U binary image from AP secure
2122   memory to SCP RAM. BL2U uses the SCP_BL2U ``image_info`` passed by BL1.
2123   ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` defines the address in AP secure memory where SCP_BL2U
2124   should be copied from. Subsequent handling of the SCP_BL2U image is
2125   implemented by the platform specific ``bl2u_plat_handle_scp_bl2u()`` function.
2126   If ``SCP_BL2U_BASE`` is not defined then this step is not performed.
2127
2128#. Any platform specific setup required to perform the FWU process. For
2129   example, Arm standard platforms initialize the TZC controller so that the
2130   normal world can access DDR memory.
2131
2132The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable
2133BL2U to perform the tasks mentioned above.
2134
2135Function : bl2u_early_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2136~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2137
2138::
2139
2140    Argument : meminfo *mem_info, void *plat_info
2141    Return   : void
2142
2143This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2144called by the primary CPU. The arguments to this function is the address
2145of the ``meminfo`` structure and platform specific info provided by BL1.
2146
2147The platform may copy the contents of the ``mem_info`` and ``plat_info`` into
2148private storage as the original memory may be subsequently overwritten by BL2U.
2149
2150On Arm CSS platforms ``plat_info`` is interpreted as an ``image_info_t`` structure,
2151to extract SCP_BL2U image information, which is then copied into a private
2152variable.
2153
2154Function : bl2u_plat_arch_setup() [mandatory]

2161
2162This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only
2163called by the primary CPU.
2164
2165The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2166that varies across platforms, for example enabling the MMU (since the memory
2167map differs across platforms).
2168
2169Function : bl2u_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2170~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2171
2172::
2173
2174    Argument : void
2175    Return   : void
2176
2177This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2178port does the necessary initialization in ``bl2u_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2179called by the primary CPU.
2180
2181The purpose of this function is to perform any platform initialization
2182specific to BL2U.
2183
2184In Arm standard platforms, this function performs security setup, including
2185configuration of the TrustZone controller to allow non-secure masters access
2186to most of DRAM. Part of DRAM is reserved for secure world use.

2196This function is used to perform any platform-specific actions required to
2197handle the SCP firmware. Typically it transfers the image into SCP memory using
2198a platform-specific protocol and waits until SCP executes it and signals to the
2199Application Processor (AP) for BL2U execution to continue.
2200
2201This function returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
2202This function is included if SCP_BL2U_BASE is defined.
2203
2204Boot Loader Stage 3-1 (BL31)
2205----------------------------
2206
2207During cold boot, the BL31 stage is executed only by the primary CPU. This is
2208determined in BL1 using the ``platform_is_primary_cpu()`` function. BL1 passes
2209control to BL31 at ``BL31_BASE``. During warm boot, BL31 is executed by all
2210CPUs. BL31 executes at EL3 and is responsible for:
2211
2212#. Re-initializing all architectural and platform state. Although BL1 performs
2213   some of this initialization, BL31 remains resident in EL3 and must ensure
2214   that EL3 architectural and platform state is completely initialized. It
2215   should make no assumptions about the system state when it receives control.
2216
2217#. Passing control to a normal world BL image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2218   specific address by BL2. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the ``bl_params`` list
2219   populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2220
2221#. Providing runtime firmware services. Currently, BL31 only implements a
2222   subset of the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) API as a runtime
2223   service. See :ref:`psci_in_bl31` below for details of porting the PSCI
2224   implementation.
2225
2226#. Optionally passing control to the BL32 image, pre-loaded at a platform-
2227   specific address by BL2. BL31 exports a set of APIs that allow runtime
2228   services to specify the security state in which the next image should be
2229   executed and run the corresponding image. On ARM platforms, BL31 uses the
2230   ``bl_params`` list populated by BL2 in memory to do this.
2231
2232If BL31 is a reset vector, It also needs to handle the reset as specified in
2233section 2.2 before the tasks described above.
2234
2235The following functions must be implemented by the platform port to enable BL31
2236to perform the above tasks.
2237
2238Function : bl31_early_platform_setup2() [mandatory]
2239~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2240
2241::
2242
2243    Argument : u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t, u_register_t
2244    Return   : void
2245
2246This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2247by the primary CPU. BL2 can pass 4 arguments to BL31 and these arguments are
2248platform specific.
2249
2250In Arm standard platforms, the arguments received are :
2251
2252    arg0 - The pointer to the head of `bl_params_t` list
2253    which is list of executable images following BL31,
2254
2255    arg1 - Points to load address of SOC_FW_CONFIG if present
2256           except in case of Arm FVP and Juno platform.
2257
2258           In case of Arm FVP and Juno platform, points to load address
2259           of FW_CONFIG.
2260
2261    arg2 - Points to load address of HW_CONFIG if present
2262
2263    arg3 - A special value to verify platform parameters from BL2 to BL31. Not
2264    used in release builds.
2265
2266The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point
2267information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following:
2268
2269-  Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2270   family of functions in BL31.
2271
2272-  Enable issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to the
2273   CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the primary
2274   CPU.

2281    Argument : void
2282    Return   : void
2283
2284This function executes with the MMU and data caches disabled. It is only called
2285by the primary CPU.
2286
2287The purpose of this function is to perform any architectural initialization
2288that varies across platforms.
2289
2290On Arm standard platforms, this function enables the MMU.
2291
2292Function : bl31_platform_setup() [mandatory]
2293~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2294
2295::
2296
2297    Argument : void
2298    Return   : void
2299
2300This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2301port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2302called by the primary CPU.
2303
2304The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both
2305BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly.
2306
2307On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2308
2309-  Initialize the generic interrupt controller.
2310
2311   Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2
2312   or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of:
2313
2314   -  Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2315   -  Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2316   -  Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2317      to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2318   -  Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2319   -  Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.
2320   -  Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2321   -  Configure all other interrupts as non-secure.
2322   -  Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2323
2324-  Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the
2325   memory mapped interface.
2326
2327-  Grant access to the system counter timer module
2328
2329-  Initialize the power controller device.
2330
2331   In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the
2332   power controller device.
2333
2334Function : bl31_plat_runtime_setup() [optional]
2335~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2336
2337::
2338
2339    Argument : void
2340    Return   : void
2341
2342The purpose of this function is allow the platform to perform any BL31 runtime
2343setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot. The default weak
2344implementation of this function will invoke ``console_switch_state()`` to switch
2345console output to consoles marked for use in the ``runtime`` state.
2346
2347Function : bl31_plat_get_next_image_ep_info() [mandatory]
2348~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2349

2352    Argument : uint32_t
2353    Return   : entry_point_info *
2354
2355This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2356port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``.
2357
2358This function is called by ``bl31_main()`` to retrieve information provided by
2359BL2 for the next image in the security state specified by the argument. BL31
2360uses this information to pass control to that image in the specified security
2361state. This function must return a pointer to the ``entry_point_info`` structure
2362(that was copied during ``bl31_early_platform_setup()``) if the image exists. It
2363should return NULL otherwise.
2364
2365Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_attest_token() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2366~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2367
2368::
2369
2370    Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, uintptr_t, size_t
2371    Return   : int
2372
2373This function returns the Platform attestation token.
2374
2375The parameters of the function are:
2376
2377    arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the Platform token should be copied by
2378           this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the Platform
2379           token.
2380
2381    arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The
2382           function returns the platform token length in this parameter.

2387           48 and 64.
2388
2389The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure.
2390
2391Function : plat_rmmd_get_cca_realm_attest_key() [mandatory when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2392~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2393
2394::
2395
2396    Argument : uintptr_t, size_t *, unsigned int
2397    Return   : int
2398
2399This function returns the delegated realm attestation key which will be used to
2400sign Realm attestation token. The API currently only supports P-384 ECC curve
2401key.
2402
2403The parameters of the function are:
2404
2405    arg0 - A pointer to the buffer where the attestation key should be copied
2406           by this function. The buffer must be big enough to hold the

2409    arg1 - Contains the size (in bytes) of the buffer passed in arg0. The
2410           function returns the attestation key length in this parameter.
2411
2412    arg2 - The type of the elliptic curve to which the requested attestation key
2413           belongs.
2414
2415The function returns 0 on success, -EINVAL on failure.
2416
2417Function : plat_rmmd_get_el3_rmm_shared_mem() [when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2418~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2419
2420::
2421
2422   Argument : uintptr_t *
2423   Return   : size_t
2424
2425This function returns the size of the shared area between EL3 and RMM (or 0 on
2426failure). A pointer to the shared area (or a NULL pointer on failure) is stored
2427in the pointer passed as argument.
2428
2429Function : plat_rmmd_load_manifest() [when ENABLE_RME == 1]
2430~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2431
2432::
2433
2434    Arguments : rmm_manifest_t *manifest
2435    Return    : int
2436
2437When ENABLE_RME is enabled, this function populates a boot manifest for the
2438RMM image and stores it in the area specified by manifest.
2439
2440When ENABLE_RME is disabled, this function is not used.
2441
2442Function : bl31_plat_enable_mmu [optional]
2443~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2444
2445::
2446
2447    Argument : uint32_t
2448    Return   : void
2449
2450This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and
2451caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable
2452translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled.
2453
2454The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are
2455defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file
2456``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``.
2457
2458On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which
2459is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented.
2460
2461Function : plat_init_apkey [optional]
2462~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2463
2464::
2465
2466    Argument : void
2467    Return   : uint128_t
2468
2469This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3
2470pointer authentication keys.
2471
2472The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness.
2473
2474This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the
2475Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to non-zero.
2476
2477Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory]
2478~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2479
2480::
2481
2482    Argument : void
2483    Return   : unsigned int
2484
2485This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter
2486frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the
2487``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency
2488of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency
2489modes table.
2490
2491#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional]
2492~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2493
2494When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2495bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2496accommodate all the bakery locks.
2497
2498If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2499calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2500nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2501and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2502from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2503accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2504
2505If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2506calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2507assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2508line boundary.

2510.. _porting_guide_sdei_requirements:
2511
2512SDEI porting requirements
2513~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2514
2515The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2516and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2517
2518Macros
2519......
2520
2521Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2522^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2523
2524This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2525Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2526(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2527
2528Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2529^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2530
2531This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2532Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2533(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2534
2535**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2536priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2537be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2538
2539Functions
2540.........
2541
2542Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2543^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2544
2545::
2546
2547  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2548  Return: int
2549
2550This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2551the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2552The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2553
2554The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2555can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2556
2557The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2558
2559The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2560translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2561further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2562DRAM.
2563
2564Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2565^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2566
2567::
2568
2569  Argument: uint64_t
2570  Argument: unsigned int
2571  Return: void
2572
2573|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2574masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2575|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2576time.
2577
2578Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2579events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2580``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2581interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2582
2583The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2584
2585.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2586
2587TRNG porting requirements
2588~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2589
2590The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2591and mandatory functions.
2592
2593Values
2594......
2595
2596value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2597^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2598
2599This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2600the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2601conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2602UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2603w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2604
2605Functions
2606.........
2607
2608Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2609^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2610
2611::
2612
2613  Argument: none
2614  Return: none
2615
2616This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2617hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2618
2619Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2620^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2621
2622::
2623
2624  Argument: uint64_t *
2625  Return: bool
2626  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2627  storage pointed to
2628
2629This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2630is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.
2631
2632.. _psci_in_bl31:
2633
2634Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2635--------------------------------------------
2636
2637The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2638*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2639share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2640specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2641a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2642*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2643*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2644is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2645example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2646logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2647CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2648example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2649organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2650
2651BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2652power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2653correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2654PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2655power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2656CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2657handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2658
2659The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2660describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2661defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2662array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2663level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2664level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2665convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2666passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2667
2668The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2669
2670Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2671~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2672
2673::
2674
2675    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2676    Return   : void
2677
2678This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2679accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2680``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2681differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2682index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2683state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2684residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2685statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2686default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2687
2688Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2689~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2690
2691::
2692
2693    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2694    Return   : void
2695
2696This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2697accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2698of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2699differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2700index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2701state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2702residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2703statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2704default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.

2706Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2707~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2708
2709::
2710
2711    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2712    Return   : u_register_t
2713
2714This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2715state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2716domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2717all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2718invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2719identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2720argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2721The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2722power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2723CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2724for that power domain.
2725
2726Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]
2727~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2728
2729::
2730
2731    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2732    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2733
2734The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2735state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2736a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2737argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2738power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2739is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2740a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2741states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2742power states.
2743
2744A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2745that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2746of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2747then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2748coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2749of the requested local power state values.
2750
2751Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory]
2752~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2753
2754::
2755
2756    Argument : void
2757    Return   : const unsigned char *
2758
2759This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2760topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2761described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2762initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2763statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2764the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2765plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2766description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2767form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
2768
2769Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
2770~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2771
2772::
2773
2774    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
2775    Return   : int
2776
2777This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2778port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2779called by the primary CPU.
2780
2781This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2782the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2783``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2784platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2785pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2786
2787A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
2788the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
2789``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
2790platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2791structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
2792:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
2793function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
2794structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
2795
2796plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
2797...........................
2798
2799Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
2800indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
2801wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
2802For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
2803the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
2804STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
2805handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
2806issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
2807state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2808
2809plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
2810.............................
2811
2812Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
2813by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
2814return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
2815
2816plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
2817..............................
2818
2819Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
2820and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
2821(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
2822
2823The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
2824for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
2825needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
2826at each power level.
2827
2828For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
2829power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
2830for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
2831coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2832
2833plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
2834...........................................................
2835
2836This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
2837or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
2838are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
2839calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
2840that data caches are enabled.
2841
2842When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
2843before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
2844power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
2845specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
2846efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
2847= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
2848moving platform specific actions to this function.
2849
2850plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
2851..................................
2852
2853Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
2854CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
2855``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2856API implementation.
2857
2858The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
2859the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
2860target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
2861power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
2862corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
2863expects the handler to succeed.
2864
2865The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
2866in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
2867when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
2868case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
2869execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
2870``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
2871
2872When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
2873Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
2874this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
2875implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
2876sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
2877the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
2878Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
2879Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
2880is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
2881defined sequence.
2882
2883When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
2884``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
2885it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
2886system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
2887allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
2888data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
2889implementation-defined sequence.
2890
2891If the build option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled, the generic code expects
2892the platform to return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
2893PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
2894
2895plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()
2896.......................................
2897
2898This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
2899platform specific actions including the ``wfi`` invocation which allows the
2900CPU to powerdown. Since this function is invoked outside the PSCI locks,
2901the actions performed in this hook must be local to the CPU or the platform
2902must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot occur.
2903
2904The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
2905operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
2906the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. This function must
2907not return back to the caller (by calling wfi in an infinite loop to ensure
2908some CPUs power down mitigations work properly).
2909
2910If this function is not implemented by the platform, PSCI generic
2911implementation invokes ``psci_power_down_wfi()`` for power down.
2912
2913plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
2914....................................
2915
2916This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
2917powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
2918It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
2919this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
2920services.
2921
2922The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
2923immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
2924above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
2925low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2926
2927plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
2928...........................................................
2929
2930This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
2931CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
2932the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
2933function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
2934such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
2935overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
2936
2937The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
2938operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
2939
2940plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
2941.........................................
2942
2943This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
2944powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
2945event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
2946``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
2947setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
2948in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
2949
2950The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
2951the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
2952to succeed.
2953
2954If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
2955suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
2956to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
2957
2958plat_psci_ops.system_off()
2959..........................
2960
2961This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
2962call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
2963notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher.
2964
2965plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
2966............................
2967
2968This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
2969call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
2970notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher.
2971
2972plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
2973....................................
2974
2975This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
2976call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
2977populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
2978specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
2979return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
2980normal world PSCI client.
2981
2982plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
2983......................................
2984
2985This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
2986``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
2987parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
2988the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
2989propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
2990
2991plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
2992...........................................
2993
2994This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
2995call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
2996domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
2997``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
2998``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
2999enter system suspend.
3000
3001plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
3002.....................................
3003
3004This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
3005implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
3006``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
3007``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
3008supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
3009``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
3010local power states.
3011
3012plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3013..............................................
3014
3015This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3016(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3017domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3018argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3019level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3020populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3021is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3022envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3023targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3024domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3025function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3026``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3027
3028This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3029power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3030APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3031
3032plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3033.................................
3034
3035This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3036the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3037the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3038as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3039Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3040status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3041must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3042appropriate.
3043
3044Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3045``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3046
3047plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3048.............................
3049
3050This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3051called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3052based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3053`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3054reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3055function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3056resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3057and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3058in `PSCI`_. On success this function will not return.
3059
3060plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3061.................................
3062
3063This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3064``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3065A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3066disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3067and on success it must return 0.
3068
3069plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3070................................
3071
3072This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3073state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3074failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3075return 0.
3076
3077plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3078...............................
3079
3080This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3081region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3082bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3083then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3086
3087Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3088----------------------------------------
3089
3090BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3091generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3092state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3093described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3094
3095A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3096text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3097platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3098present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3099`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3100and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3101FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3102``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3103details).
3104
3105See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3106
3107Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3108~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3109
3110::
3111
3112    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3113    Return   : uint32_t
3114
3115The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3116interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3117controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3118either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3119the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3120from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3121
3122The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3123:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3124interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3125execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3126register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3127
3128In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3129configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3130state.
3131
3132In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3133configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3134interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3135
3136-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3137   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3138-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3139   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3140-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3141   context.
3142
3143Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3144~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3145
3146::
3147
3148    Argument : void
3149    Return   : uint32_t
3150
3151This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3152platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3153handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3154pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3155``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3156
3157In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3158Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3159the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3160follows.
3161
3162#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3163#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3164#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3165
3166In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3167``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3168is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3169depends upon the id value as follows.
3170
3171#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3172#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3173#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3174#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt.

3178
3179::
3180
3181    Argument : void
3182    Return   : uint32_t
3183
3184This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3185platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3186pending.
3187
3188In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3189Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3190pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3191the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3192
3193#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3194#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3195   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3196   This id is returned by the API.
3197#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3198
3199In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3200EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3201group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3202that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3203interrupt controller as follows.
3204
3205#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3206#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3207   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3208   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3209   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3210#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3211   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3212
3213When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3214register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3215Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3216``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.

3220
3221::
3222
3223    Argument : void
3224    Return   : uint32_t
3225
3226This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3227the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3228value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3229The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3230`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3231
3232This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3233Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3234priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3235It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3236
3237In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3238from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3239Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3240reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3241group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3242pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3243unmodified.
3244
3245The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3246interrupt.

3248Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3249~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3250
3251::
3252
3253    Argument : uint32_t
3254    Return   : void
3255
3256This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3257the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3258finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3259``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3260
3261Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3262(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3263system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3264EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3265controller.
3266
3267The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3268interrupt.

3272
3273::
3274
3275    Argument : uint32_t
3276    Return   : uint32_t
3277
3278This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3279``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3280interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3281returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3282IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3283
3284Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3285and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3286corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3287(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3288
3289In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3290Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3291(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3292as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.

3315
3316This API is called from assembly files when encountering a critical failure that
3317cannot be recovered from. This function assumes that it is invoked from a C
3318runtime environment i.e. valid stack exists. This call **must not** return.

3330el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3331
3332Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3333-----------------------------------
3334
3335BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3336of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3337on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3338``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3339
3340The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3341implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3342makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3343output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3344consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3345used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3346
3347.. note::
3348   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3349   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3350   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3351   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3352
3353In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3354normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3355more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3356these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3357console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3358that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3359for an example of this.

3398.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3399
3400External Abort handling and RAS Support
3401---------------------------------------
3402
3403Function : plat_ea_handler
3404~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3405
3406::
3407
3408    Argument : int
3409    Argument : uint64_t
3410    Argument : void *
3411    Argument : void *
3412    Argument : uint64_t
3413    Return   : void
3414
3415This function is invoked by the RAS framework for the platform to handle an
3416External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the function is to attempt to
3417resolve the cause of External Abort and return; if that's not possible, to
3418initiate orderly shutdown of the system.
3419
3420The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3421Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3422
3423The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3424presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3425nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3426can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3427
3428The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3429(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3430(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3431are received from the top-level exception handler.
3432
3433If ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, the default implementation of this
3434function iterates through RAS handlers registered by the platform. If any of the
3435RAS handlers resolve the External Abort, no further action is taken.
3436
3437If ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``0``, or if none of the platform RAS handlers
3438could resolve the External Abort, the default implementation prints an error
3439message, and panics.
3440
3441Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea
3442~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3443
3444::
3445
3446    Argument : int
3447    Argument : uint64_t
3448    Return   : void
3449
3450This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3451Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3452Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3453shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3454
3455This function must be implemented in assembly.
3456
3457The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3458
3459The default implementation of this function calls
3460``report_unhandled_exception``.
3461
3462Function : plat_handle_double_fault
3463~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3464
3465::
3466
3467    Argument : int
3468    Argument : uint64_t
3469    Return   : void
3470
3471This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3472received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3473``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3474this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3475recover or return.
3476
3477This function must be implemented in assembly.
3478
3479The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3480
3481The default implementation of this function calls
3482``report_unhandled_exception``.
3483
3484Function : plat_handle_el3_ea
3485~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3486
3487::
3488
3489    Return   : void
3490
3491This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in
3492EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate
3493orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3494
3495This function must be implemented in assembly.
3496
3497The default implementation of this function calls
3498``report_unhandled_exception``.
3499
3500Function : plat_handle_rng_trap
3501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3502
3503::
3504
3505    Argument : uint64_t
3506    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3507    Return   : int
3508
3509This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3510system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3511platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3512emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3513
3514The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3515syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3516information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3517
3518The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3519lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3520was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3521register.
3522
3523The return value indicates how to proceed:
3524
3525-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3526-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3527   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3528-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3529   to the next instruction.
3530
3531This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3532
3533Build flags
3534-----------
3535
3536There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3537inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3538need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3539build system.
3540
3541-  **NEED_BL33**
3542   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3543   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3544   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3545   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3546   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3547
3548Platform include paths
3549----------------------
3550
3551Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3552The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3553particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3554
3555Example:
3556
3557.. code:: c
3558
3559  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3560
3561C Library
3562---------
3563
3564To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3565by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3566to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3567required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3568contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3569more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3570added to the local implementation.
3571
3572Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3573been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3574from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3575files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3576
3577SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3578can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3579
3580Storage abstraction layer
3581-------------------------
3582
3583In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3584layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3585storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3586``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3587
3588.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3589
3590It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3591development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3592the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3593The storage layer is described in the header file
3594``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3595in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3596``drivers/io/``.
3597
3598.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3599
3600Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3601``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3602function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3603implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3604
3605Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3606abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3607phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3608
3609.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3610
3611The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3612initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3613
3614.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3615
3616The basic operations supported by the layer
3617include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3618Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3619provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3620operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3621
3622The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3623firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3624``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3625there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3626to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3627to allow access to the image data.
3628
3629The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3630other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3631physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3632drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3633be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3634
3635The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3636by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3637dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3638amount of open resources per driver.
