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

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

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

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

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

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

1100::
1101
1102    Argument : void
1103    Return   : unsigned int
1104
1105This function returns the index of the calling CPU which is used as a
1106CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory (for example while allocating
1107per-CPU stacks). This function will be invoked very early in the
1108initialization sequence which mandates that this function should be
1109implemented in assembly and should not rely on the availability of a C
1110runtime environment. This function can clobber x0 - x8 and must preserve
1111x9 - x29.
1112
1113This function plays a crucial role in the power domain topology framework in
1114PSCI and details of this can be found in
1115:ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1116
1117Function : plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
1118~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1119
1120::
1121
1122    Argument : u_register_t
1123    Return   : int
1124
1125This function validates the ``MPIDR`` of a CPU and converts it to an index,
1126which can be used as a CPU-specific linear index into blocks of memory. In
1127case the ``MPIDR`` is invalid, this function returns -1. This function will only
1128be invoked by BL31 after the power domain topology is initialized and can
1129utilize the C runtime environment. For further details about how TF-A
1130represents the power domain topology and how this relates to the linear CPU
1131index, please refer :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
1132
1133Function : plat_get_mbedtls_heap() [when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT == 1]
1134~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1135
1136::
1137
1138    Arguments : void **heap_addr, size_t *heap_size
1139    Return    : int
1140
1141This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
1142by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
1143internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
1144must be able to provide a heap to it.
1145
1146A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
1147which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
1148(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
1149the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
1150For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
1151from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
1152
1153However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
1154optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
1155shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
1156twice.
1157
1158On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1159
1160Function : plat_get_enc_key_info() [when FW_ENC_STATUS == 0 or 1]
1161~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1162
1163::
1164
1165    Arguments : enum fw_enc_status_t fw_enc_status, uint8_t *key,
1166                size_t *key_len, unsigned int *flags, const uint8_t *img_id,
1167                size_t img_id_len
1168    Return    : int
1169
1170This function provides a symmetric key (either SSK or BSSK depending on
1171fw_enc_status) which is invoked during runtime decryption of encrypted
1172firmware images. `plat/common/plat_bl_common.c` provides a dummy weak
1173implementation for testing purposes which must be overridden by the platform
1174trying to implement a real world firmware encryption use-case.
1175
1176It also allows the platform to pass symmetric key identifier rather than
1177actual symmetric key which is useful in cases where the crypto backend provides
1178secure storage for the symmetric key. So in this case ``ENC_KEY_IS_IDENTIFIER``
1179flag must be set in ``flags``.
1180
1181In addition to above a platform may also choose to provide an image specific
1182symmetric key/identifier using img_id.
1183
1184On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
1185
1186Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
1187
1188Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1189~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1190
1191::
1192
1193    Argument : const struct fwu_metadata *metadata
1194    Return   : void
1195
1196This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
1197It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
1198non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
1199FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
1200image specification information.
1201Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
1202images rely on this function call.
1203
1204In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
1205container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
1206
1207Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1208~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1209
1210::
1211
1212    Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
1213               uintptr_t *image_spec
1214    Return   : int
1215
1216This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
1217responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
1218image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
1219be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
1220
1221FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
1222to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
1223statically in I/O policy.
1224For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
1225partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
1226that needs to be parsed dynamically.
1227This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
1228the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
1229Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
1230image relies on this function call.
1231
1232It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
1233Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
1234of the requested FWU metadata image.
1235
1236Function : plat_fwu_get_boot_idx() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
1237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1238
1239::
1240
1241    Argument : void
1242    Return   : uint32_t
1243
1244This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It provides the
1245means to retrieve the boot index value from the platform. The boot index is the
1246bank from which the platform has booted the firmware images.
1247
1248By default, the platform will read the metadata structure and try to boot from
1249the active bank. If the platform fails to boot from the active bank due to
1250reasons like an Authentication failure, or on crossing a set number of watchdog
1251resets while booting from the active bank, the platform can then switch to boot
1252from a different bank. This function then returns the bank that the platform
1253should boot its images from.
1254
1255Common optional modifications
1256-----------------------------
1257
1258The following are helper functions implemented by the firmware that perform
1259common platform-specific tasks. A platform may choose to override these
1260definitions.
1261
1262Function : plat_set_my_stack()
1263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1264
1265::
1266
1267    Argument : void
1268    Return   : void
1269
1270This function sets the current stack pointer to the normal memory stack that
1271has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1272stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1273of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1274constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1275
1276Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1277provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1278``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1279
1280Function : plat_get_my_stack()
1281~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1282
1283::
1284
1285    Argument : void
1286    Return   : uintptr_t
1287
1288This function returns the base address of the normal memory stack that
1289has been allocated for the current CPU. For BL images that only require a
1290stack for the primary CPU, the UP version of the function is used. The size
1291of the stack allocated to each CPU is specified by the platform defined
1292constant ``PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE``.
1293
1294Common implementations of this function for the UP and MP BL images are
1295provided in ``plat/common/aarch64/platform_up_stack.S`` and
1296``plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S``
1297
1298Function : plat_report_exception()
1299~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1300
1301::
1302
1303    Argument : unsigned int
1304    Return   : void
1305
1306A platform may need to report various information about its status when an
1307exception is taken, for example the current exception level, the CPU security
1308state (secure/non-secure), the exception type, and so on. This function is
1309called in the following circumstances:
1310
1311-  In BL1, whenever an exception is taken.
1312-  In BL2, whenever an exception is taken.
1313
1314The default implementation doesn't do anything, to avoid making assumptions
1315about the way the platform displays its status information.
1316
1317For AArch64, this function receives the exception type as its argument.
1318Possible values for exceptions types are listed in the
1319``include/common/bl_common.h`` header file. Note that these constants are not
1320related to any architectural exception code; they are just a TF-A convention.
1321
1322For AArch32, this function receives the exception mode as its argument.
1323Possible values for exception modes are listed in the
1324``include/lib/aarch32/arch.h`` header file.
1325
1326Function : plat_reset_handler()
1327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1328
1329::
1330
1331    Argument : void
1332    Return   : void
1333
1334A platform may need to do additional initialization after reset. This function
1335allows the platform to do the platform specific initializations. Platform
1336specific errata workarounds could also be implemented here. The API should
1337preserve the values of callee saved registers x19 to x29.
1338
1339The default implementation doesn't do anything. If a platform needs to override
1340the default implementation, refer to the :ref:`Firmware Design` for general
1341guidelines.
1342
1343Function : plat_disable_acp()
1344~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1345
1346::
1347
1348    Argument : void
1349    Return   : void
1350
1351This API allows a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (if
1352present) during a cluster power down sequence. The default weak implementation
1353doesn't do anything. Since this API is called during the power down sequence,
1354it has restrictions for stack usage and it can use the registers x0 - x17 as
1355scratch registers. It should preserve the value in x18 register as it is used
1356by the caller to store the return address.
1357
1358Function : plat_error_handler()
1359~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1360
1361::
1362
1363    Argument : int
1364    Return   : void
1365
1366This API is called when the generic code encounters an error situation from
1367which it cannot continue. It allows the platform to perform error reporting or
1368recovery actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return.
1369
1370The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from ``errno.h``.
1371Possible errors reported by the generic code are:
1372
1373-  ``-EAUTH``: a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted
1374   Board Boot is enabled)
1375-  ``-ENOENT``: the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO
1376   error was detected
1377-  ``-ENOMEM``: resources exhausted. TF-A does not use dynamic memory, so this
1378   error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size
1379
1380The default implementation simply spins.
1381
1382Function : plat_panic_handler()
1383~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1384
1385::
1386
1387    Argument : void
1388    Return   : void
1389
1390This API is called when the generic code encounters an unexpected error
1391situation from which it cannot recover. This function must not return,
1392and must be implemented in assembly because it may be called before the C
1393environment is initialized.
1394
1395.. note::
1396   The address from where it was called is stored in x30 (Link Register).
1397   The default implementation simply spins.
1398
1399Function : plat_system_reset()
1400~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1401
1402::
1403
1404    Argument : void
1405    Return   : void
1406
1407This function is used by the platform to resets the system. It can be used
1408in any specific use-case where system needs to be resetted. For example,
1409in case of DRTM implementation this function reset the system after
1410writing the DRTM error code in the non-volatile storage. This function
1411never returns. Failure in reset results in panic.
1412
1413Function : plat_get_bl_image_load_info()
1414~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1415
1416::
1417
1418    Argument : void
1419    Return   : bl_load_info_t *
1420
1421This function returns pointer to the list of images that the platform has
1422populated to load. This function is invoked in BL2 to load the
1423BL3xx images.
1424
1425Function : plat_get_next_bl_params()
1426~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1427
1428::
1429
1430    Argument : void
1431    Return   : bl_params_t *
1432
1433This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the platform has
1434kept aside to pass TF-A related information that next BL image needs. This
1435function is invoked in BL2 to pass this information to the next BL
1436image.
1437
1438Function : plat_get_stack_protector_canary()
1439~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1440
1441::
1442
1443    Argument : void
1444    Return   : u_register_t
1445
1446This function returns a random value that is used to initialize the canary used
1447when the stack protector is enabled with ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. A predictable
1448value will weaken the protection as the attacker could easily write the right
1449value as part of the attack most of the time. Therefore, it should return a
1450true random number.
1451
1452.. warning::
1453   For the protection to be effective, the global data need to be placed at
1454   a lower address than the stack bases. Failure to do so would allow an
1455   attacker to overwrite the canary as part of the stack buffer overflow attack.
1456
1457Function : plat_flush_next_bl_params()
1458~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1459
1460::
1461
1462    Argument : void
1463    Return   : void
1464
1465This function flushes to main memory all the image params that are passed to
1466next image. This function is invoked in BL2 to flush this information
1467to the next BL image.
1468
1469Function : plat_log_get_prefix()
1470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1471
1472::
1473
1474    Argument : unsigned int
1475    Return   : const char *
1476
1477This function defines the prefix string corresponding to the `log_level` to be
1478prepended to all the log output from TF-A. The `log_level` (argument) will
1479correspond to one of the standard log levels defined in debug.h. The platform
1480can override the common implementation to define a different prefix string for
1481the log output. The implementation should be robust to future changes that
1482increase the number of log levels.
1483
1484Function : plat_get_soc_version()
1485~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1486
1487::
1488
1489    Argument : void
1490    Return   : int32_t
1491
1492This function returns soc version which mainly consist of below fields
1493
1494::
1495
1496    soc_version[30:24] = JEP-106 continuation code for the SiP
1497    soc_version[23:16] = JEP-106 identification code with parity bit for the SiP
1498    soc_version[15:0]  = Implementation defined SoC ID
1499
1500Function : plat_get_soc_revision()
1501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1502
1503::
1504
1505    Argument : void
1506    Return   : int32_t
1507
1508This function returns soc revision in below format
1509
1510::
1511
1512    soc_revision[0:30] = SOC revision of specific SOC
1513
1514Function : plat_get_soc_name()
1515~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1516
1517::
1518
1519    Argument : char **
1520    Return   : int32_t
1521
1522The plat_get_soc_name() function allows a platform to expose the SoC name to
1523the firmware. It takes a pointer to a character pointer as an argument, which
1524must be set to point to a static, null-terminated SoC name string. The string
1525must be encoded in UTF-8 and should use only printable ASCII characters for
1526compatibility. It must not exceed 136 bytes, including the null terminator. On
1527success, the function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS. If the platform does not
1528support SoC name retrieval, it returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED. This API
1529allows platforms to support SoC name queries via SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID.
1530
1531Function : plat_is_smccc_feature_available()
1532~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1533
1534::
1535
1536    Argument : u_register_t
1537    Return   : int32_t
1538
1539This function returns SMC_ARCH_CALL_SUCCESS if the platform supports
1540the SMCCC function specified in the argument; otherwise returns
1541SMC_ARCH_CALL_NOT_SUPPORTED.
1542
1543Function : plat_can_cmo()
1544~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1545
1546::
1547
1548    Argument : void
1549    Return   : uint64_t
1550
1551When CONDITIONAL_CMO flag is enabled:
1552
1553- This function indicates whether cache management operations should be
1554  performed. It returns 0 if CMOs should be skipped and non-zero
1555  otherwise.
1556- The function must not clobber x1, x2 and x3. It's also not safe to rely on
1557  stack. Otherwise obey AAPCS.
1558
1559Struct: plat_try_images_ops [optional]
1560~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1561
1562This optional structure holds platform hooks for alternative images load.
1563It has to be defined in platform code and registered by calling
1564plat_setup_try_img_ops() function, passing it the address of the
1565plat_try_images_ops struct.
1566
1567Function : plat_setup_try_img_ops [optional]
1568............................................
1569
1570::
1571
1572    Argument : const struct plat_try_images_ops *
1573    Return   : void
1574
1575This optional function is called to register platform try images ops, given
1576as argument.
1577
1578Function : plat_try_images_ops.next_instance [optional]
1579.......................................................
1580
1581::
1582
1583    Argument : unsigned int image_id
1584    Return   : int
1585
1586This optional function tries to load images from alternative places.
1587In case PSA FWU is not used, it can be any instance or media. If PSA FWU is
1588used, it is mandatory that the backup image is on the same media.
1589This is required for MTD devices like NAND.
1590The argument is the ID of the image for which we are looking for an alternative
1591place. It returns 0 in case of success and a negative errno value otherwise.
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
1647-  Initializes a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
1648   family of functions in BL1.
1649
1650-  Enables issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to
1651   the CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the
1652   primary CPU.

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.

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

2184
2185The function runs through the `bl_param_t` list and extracts the entry point
2186information for BL32 and BL33. It also performs the following:
2187
2188-  Initialize a UART (PL011 console), which enables access to the ``printf``
2189   family of functions in BL31.
2190
2191-  Enable issuing of snoop and DVM (Distributed Virtual Memory) requests to the
2192   CCI slave interface corresponding to the cluster that includes the primary

2219This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2220port does the necessary initialization in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2221called by the primary CPU.
2222
2223The purpose of this function is to complete platform initialization so that both
2224BL31 runtime services and normal world software can function correctly.
2225
2226On Arm standard platforms, this function does the following:
2227
2228-  Initialize the generic interrupt controller.
2229
2230   Depending on the GIC driver selected by the platform, the appropriate GICv2
2231   or GICv3 initialization will be done, which mainly consists of:
2232
2233   -  Enable secure interrupts in the GIC CPU interface.
2234   -  Disable the legacy interrupt bypass mechanism.
2235   -  Configure the priority mask register to allow interrupts of all priorities
2236      to be signaled to the CPU interface.
2237   -  Mark SGIs 8-15 and the other secure interrupts on the platform as secure.
2238   -  Target all secure SPIs to CPU0.
2239   -  Enable these secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2240   -  Configure all other interrupts as non-secure.
2241   -  Enable signaling of secure interrupts in the GIC distributor.
2242
2243-  Enable system-level implementation of the generic timer counter through the
2244   memory mapped interface.
2245
2246-  Grant access to the system counter timer module
2247
2248-  Initialize the power controller device.
2249
2250   In particular, initialise the locks that prevent concurrent accesses to the
2251   power controller device.

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

2705.. _porting_guide_sdei_requirements:
2706
2707SDEI porting requirements
2708~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2709
2710The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2711and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2712
2713Macros
2714......
2715
2716Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2717^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2718
2719This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2720Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2721(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2722
2723Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2724^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2725
2726This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2727Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2728(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2729
2730**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2731priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2732be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2733
2734Functions
2735.........
2736
2737Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2738^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2739
2740::
2741
2742  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2743  Return: int
2744
2745This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2746the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2747The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2748
2749The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2750can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2751
2752The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2753
2754The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2755translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2756further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2757DRAM.
2758
2759Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2760^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2761
2762::
2763
2764  Argument: uint64_t
2765  Argument: unsigned int
2766  Return: void
2767
2768|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2769masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2770|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2771time.
2772
2773Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2774events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2775``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2776interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2777
2778The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2779
2780.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2781
2782TRNG porting requirements
2783~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2784
2785The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2786and mandatory functions.
2787
2788Values
2789......
2790
2791value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2792^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2793
2794This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2795the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2796conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2797UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2798w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2799
2800Functions
2801.........
2802
2803Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2804^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2805
2806::
2807
2808  Argument: none
2809  Return: none
2810
2811This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2812hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2813
2814Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2815^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2816
2817::
2818
2819  Argument: uint64_t *
2820  Return: bool
2821  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2822  storage pointed to
2823
2824This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2825is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.
2826
2827.. _psci_in_bl31:
2828
2829Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2830--------------------------------------------
2831
2832The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2833*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2834share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2835specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2836a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2837*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2838*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2839is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2840example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2841logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2842CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2843example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2844organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2845
2846BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2847power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2848correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2849PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2850power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2851CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2852handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2853
2854The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2855describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2856defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2857array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2858level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2859level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2860convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2861passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2862
2863The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2864
2865Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2866~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2867
2868::
2869
2870    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2871    Return   : void
2872
2873This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2874accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2875``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2876differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2877index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2878state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2879residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2880statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2881default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2882
2883Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2884~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2885
2886::
2887
2888    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2889    Return   : void
2890
2891This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2892accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2893of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2894differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2895index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2896state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2897residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2898statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2899default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2900
2901Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2902~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2903
2904::
2905
2906    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2907    Return   : u_register_t
2908
2909This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2910state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2911domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2912all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2913invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2914identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2915argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2916The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2917power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2918CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2919for that power domain.
2920
2921Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]
2922~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2923
2924::
2925
2926    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2927    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2928
2929The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2930state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2931a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2932argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2933power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2934is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2935a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2936states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2937power states.
2938
2939A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2940that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2941of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2942then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2943coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2944of the requested local power state values.
2945
2946Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory]
2947~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2948
2949::
2950
2951    Argument : void
2952    Return   : const unsigned char *
2953
2954This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2955topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2956described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2957initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2958statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2959the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2960plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2961description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2962form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
2963
2964Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
2965~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2966
2967::
2968
2969    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
2970    Return   : int
2971
2972This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2973port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2974called by the primary CPU.
2975
2976This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2977the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2978``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2979platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2980pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2981
2982A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
2983the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
2984``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
2985platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2986structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
2987:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
2988function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
2989structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
2990
2991plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
2992...........................
2993
2994Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
2995indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
2996wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
2997For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
2998the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
2999STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
3000handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
3001issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
3002state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3003
3004plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
3005.............................
3006
3007Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
3008by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
3009return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
3010
3011plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional]
3012...............................................
3013
3014This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
3015powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
3016indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
3017
3018The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3019for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3020
3021For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3022power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3023for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3024coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
3025platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.
3026
3027plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
3028..............................
3029
3030Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
3031and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
3032(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
3033
3034The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3035for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
3036needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
3037at each power level.
3038
3039For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3040power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3041for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3042coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3043
3044plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_validate_suspend() [optional]
3045......................................................
3046
3047This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build
3048option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled.
3049
3050If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific
3051validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to
3052return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
3053PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
3054
3055plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
3056...........................................................
3057
3058This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
3059or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
3060are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
3061calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
3062that data caches are enabled.
3063
3064When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
3065before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
3066power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
3067specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
3068efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
3069= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
3070moving platform specific actions to this function.
3071
3072plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
3073..................................
3074
3075Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
3076CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
3077``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3078API implementation.
3079
3080The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
3081the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
3082target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
3083power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
3084corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
3085expects the handler to succeed.
3086
3087The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
3088in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
3089when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
3090case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
3091execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
3092``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
3093
3094When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
3095Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
3096this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
3097implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
3098sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
3099the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
3100Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
3101Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
3102is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
3103defined sequence.
3104
3105When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
3106``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
3107it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
3108system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
3109allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
3110data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
3111implementation-defined sequence.
3112
3113plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()
3114.......................................
3115
3116This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
3117platform specific actions before the CPU is powered down. Since this function is
3118invoked outside the PSCI locks, the actions performed in this hook must be local
3119to the CPU or the platform must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot
3120occur.
3121
3122The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
3123operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
3124the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3125
3126It is preferred that this function returns. The caller will invoke
3127``wfi()`` to powerdown the CPU, mitigate any powerdown errata,
3128and handle any wakeups that may arise. Previously, this function did not return
3129and instead called ``wfi`` (in an infinite loop) directly. This is still
3130possible on platforms where this is guaranteed to be terminal, however, it is
3131strongly discouraged going forward.
3132
3133Previously this function was called ``pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()`` and invoked
3134``psci_power_down_wfi()`` (now removed).
3135
3136plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
3137....................................
3138
3139This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3140powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
3141It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
3142this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
3143services.
3144
3145The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
3146immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
3147above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
3148low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3149
3150plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
3151...........................................................
3152
3153This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
3154CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
3155the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
3156function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
3157such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
3158overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
3159
3160The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
3161operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3162
3163plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
3164.........................................
3165
3166This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3167powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
3168event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
3169``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
3170setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
3171in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
3172
3173The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
3174the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
3175to succeed.
3176
3177If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
3178suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
3179to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
3180
3181plat_psci_ops.system_off()
3182..........................
3183
3184This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
3185call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
3186notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3187function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3188
3189plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
3190............................
3191
3192This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
3193call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
3194notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3195function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3196
3197plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
3198....................................
3199
3200This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3201call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
3202populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
3203specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
3204return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
3205normal world PSCI client.
3206
3207plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
3208......................................
3209
3210This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
3211``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
3212parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
3213the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
3214propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
3215
3216plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
3217...........................................
3218
3219This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
3220call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
3221domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
3222``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
3223``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
3224enter system suspend.
3225
3226plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
3227.....................................
3228
3229This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
3230implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
3231``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
3232``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
3233supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
3234``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
3235local power states.
3236
3237plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3238..............................................
3239
3240This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3241(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3242domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3243argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3244level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3245populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3246is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3247envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3248targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3249domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3250function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3251``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3252
3253This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3254power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3255APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3256
3257plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3258.................................
3259
3260This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3261the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3262the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3263as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3264Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3265status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3266must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3267appropriate.
3268
3269Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3270``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3271
3272plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3273.............................
3274
3275This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3276called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3277based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3278`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3279reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3280function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3281resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3282and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3283in `PSCI`_. If this function returns success, the caller will call
3284``wfi`` similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3285
3286plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3287.................................
3288
3289This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3290``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3291A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3292disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3293and on success it must return 0.
3294
3295plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3296................................
3297
3298This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3299state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3300failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3301return 0.
3302
3303plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3304...............................
3305
3306This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3307region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3308bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3309then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3312
3313Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3314----------------------------------------
3315
3316BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3317generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3318state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3319described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3320
3321A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3322text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3323platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3324present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3325`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3326and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3327FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3328``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3329details).
3330
3331See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3332
3333Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3334~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3335
3336::
3337
3338    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3339    Return   : uint32_t
3340
3341The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3342interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3343controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3344either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3345the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3346from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3347
3348The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3349:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3350interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3351execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3352register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3353
3354In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3355configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3356state.
3357
3358In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3359configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3360interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3361
3362-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3363   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3364-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3365   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3366-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3367   context.
3368
3369Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3370~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3371
3372::
3373
3374    Argument : void
3375    Return   : uint32_t
3376
3377This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3378platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3379handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3380pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3381``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3382
3383In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3384Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3385the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3386follows.
3387
3388#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3389#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3390#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3391
3392In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3393``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3394is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3395depends upon the id value as follows.
3396
3397#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3398#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3399#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3400#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt.
3401
3402Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_id() [mandatory]
3403~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3404
3405::
3406
3407    Argument : void
3408    Return   : uint32_t
3409
3410This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3411platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3412pending.
3413
3414In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3415Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3416pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3417the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3418
3419#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3420#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3421   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3422   This id is returned by the API.
3423#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3424
3425In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3426EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3427group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3428that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3429interrupt controller as follows.
3430
3431#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3432#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3433   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3434   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3435   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3436#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3437   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3438
3439When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3440register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3441Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3442``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3443
3444Function : plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt() [mandatory]
3445~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3446
3447::
3448
3449    Argument : void
3450    Return   : uint32_t
3451
3452This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3453the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3454value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3455The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3456`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3457
3458This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3459Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3460priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3461It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3462
3463In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3464from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3465Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3466reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3467group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3468pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3469unmodified.
3470
3471The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3472interrupt.
3473
3474Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3475~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3476
3477::
3478
3479    Argument : uint32_t
3480    Return   : void
3481
3482This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3483the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3484finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3485``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3486
3487Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3488(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3489system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3490EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3491controller.
3492
3493The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3494interrupt.
3495
3496Function : plat_ic_get_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3497~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3498
3499::
3500
3501    Argument : uint32_t
3502    Return   : uint32_t
3503
3504This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3505``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3506interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3507returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3508IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3509
3510Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3511and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3512corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3513(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3514
3515In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3516Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3517(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3518as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.
3519
3520Registering a console
3521---------------------
3522
3523Platforms will need to implement the TF-A console framework to register and use
3524a console for visual data output in TF-A. These can be used for data output during
3525the different stages of the firmware boot process and also for debugging purposes.
3526
3527The console framework can be used to output data on to a console using a number of
3528TF-A supported UARTs. Multiple consoles can be registered at the same time with
3529different output scopes (BOOT, RUNTIME, CRASH) so that data can be displayed on
3530their respective consoles without unnecessary cluttering of a single console.
3531
3532Information for registering a console can be found in the :ref:`Console Framework` section
3533of the :ref:`System Design` documentation.
3534
3535Common helper functions
3536-----------------------
3537Function : elx_panic()
3538~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3539
3540::
3541
3542    Argument : void
3543    Return   : void
3544
3545This API is called from assembly files when reporting a critical failure
3546that has occured in lower EL and is been trapped in EL3. This call
3547**must not** return.
3548
3549Function : el3_panic()
3550~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3551
3552::
3553
3554    Argument : void
3555    Return   : void
3556
3557This API is called from assembly files when encountering a critical failure that
3558cannot be recovered from. This function assumes that it is invoked from a C
3559runtime environment i.e. valid stack exists. This call **must not** return.
3560
3561Function : panic()
3562~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3563
3564::
3565
3566    Argument : void
3567    Return   : void
3568
3569This API called from C files when encountering a critical failure that cannot
3570be recovered from. This function in turn prints backtrace (if enabled) and calls
3571el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3572
3573Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3574-----------------------------------
3575
3576BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3577of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3578on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3579``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3580
3581The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3582implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3583makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3584output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3585consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3586used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3587
3588.. note::
3589   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3590   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3591   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3592   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3593
3594In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3595normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3596more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3597these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3598console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3599that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3600for an example of this.

3650.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3651
3652External Abort handling and RAS Support
3653---------------------------------------
3654
3655If any cores on the platform support powerdown abandon (check the "Core powerup
3656and powerdown sequence" in their TRMs), then
3657these functions should be able to handle being called with power domains off and
3658after the powerdown ``wfi``. In other words it may run after a call to
3659``pwr_domain_suspend()`` and before a call to ``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``
3660(and their power off counterparts).
3661
3662Should this not be desirable, or if there is no powerdown abandon support, then
3663RAS errors should be masked by writing any relevant error records in any
3664powerdown hooks to prevent deadlocks due to a RAS error after the point of no
3665return. See the core's TRM for further information.
3666
3667Function : plat_ea_handler
3668~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3669
3670::
3671
3672    Argument : int
3673    Argument : uint64_t
3674    Argument : void *
3675    Argument : void *
3676    Argument : uint64_t
3677    Return   : void
3678
3679This function is invoked by the runtime exception handling framework for the
3680platform to handle an External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the
3681function is to attempt to resolve the cause of External Abort and return;
3682if that's not possible then an orderly shutdown of the system is initiated.
3683
3684The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3685Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3686
3687The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3688presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3689nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3690can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3691
3692The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3693(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3694(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3695are received from the top-level exception handler.
3696
3697This function must be implemented if a platform expects Firmware First handling
3698of External Aborts.
3699
3700Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea
3701~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3702
3703::
3704
3705    Argument : int
3706    Argument : uint64_t
3707    Return   : void
3708
3709This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3710Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3711Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3712shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3713
3714This function must be implemented in assembly.
3715
3716The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3717
3718The default implementation of this function calls
3719``report_unhandled_exception``.
3720
3721Function : plat_handle_double_fault
3722~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3723
3724::
3725
3726    Argument : int
3727    Argument : uint64_t
3728    Return   : void
3729
3730This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3731received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3732``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3733this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3734recover or return.
3735
3736This function must be implemented in assembly.
3737
3738The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3739
3740The default implementation of this function calls
3741``report_unhandled_exception``.
3742
3743Function : plat_handle_el3_ea
3744~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3745
3746::
3747
3748    Return   : void
3749
3750This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in
3751EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate
3752orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3753
3754This function must be implemented in assembly.
3755
3756The default implementation of this function calls
3757``report_unhandled_exception``.
3758
3759Function : plat_handle_rng_trap
3760~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3761
3762::
3763
3764    Argument : uint64_t
3765    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3766    Return   : int
3767
3768This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3769system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3770platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3771emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3772
3773The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3774syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3775information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3776
3777The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3778lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3779was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3780register.
3781
3782The return value indicates how to proceed:
3783
3784-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3785-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3786   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3787-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3788   to the next instruction.
3789
3790This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3791
3792Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap
3793~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3794
3795::
3796
3797    Argument : uint64_t
3798    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3799    Return   : int
3800
3801This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3802system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers.
3803It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3804registers choosing to program bits of their choice. If using in combination with
3805``ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY``, the macros
3806{SCR,MDCR,CPTR}_PLAT_{BITS,IGNORED,FLIPPED} should be defined to report correct
3807results.
3808
3809The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3810syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3811
3812The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3813lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3814was trapped.
3815
3816The return value indicates how to proceed:
3817
3818-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3819-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3820   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3821-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3822   to the next instruction.
3823
3824This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables
3825IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP.
3826
3827Build flags
3828-----------
3829
3830There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3831inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3832need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3833build system.
3834
3835-  **NEED_BL33**
3836   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3837   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3838   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3839   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3840   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3841
3842-  **ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR**
3843   By default, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.ARM_ARCH_MINOR is set to 8.0 in ``defaults.mk``,
3844   if the platform makefile/build defines or uses the correct ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and
3845   ARM_ARCH_MINOR then mandatory Architectural features available for that Arch
3846   version will be enabled by default and any optional Arch feature supported by
3847   the Architecture and available in TF-A can be enabled from platform specific
3848   makefile. Look up to ``arch_features.mk`` for details pertaining to mandatory
3849   and optional Arch specific features.
3850
3851Platform include paths
3852----------------------
3853
3854Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3855The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3856particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3857
3858Example:
3859
3860.. code:: c
3861
3862  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3863
3864C Library
3865---------
3866
3867To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3868by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3869to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3870required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3871contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3872more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3873added to the local implementation.
3874
3875Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3876been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3877from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3878files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3879
3880SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3881can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3882
3883Storage abstraction layer
3884-------------------------
3885
3886In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3887layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3888storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3889``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3890
3891.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3892
3893It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3894development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3895the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3896The storage layer is described in the header file
3897``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3898in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3899``drivers/io/``.
3900
3901.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3902
3903Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3904``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3905function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3906implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3907
3908Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3909abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3910phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3911
3912.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3913
3914The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3915initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3916
3917.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3918
3919The basic operations supported by the layer
3920include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3921Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3922provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3923operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3924
3925The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3926firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3927``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3928there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3929to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3930to allow access to the image data.
3931
3932The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3933other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3934physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3935drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3936be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3937
3938The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3939by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3940dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3941amount of open resources per driver.
3942
3943Measured Boot Platform Interface
3944--------------------------------
3945
3946Enabling the MEASURED_BOOT flag adds extra platform requirements. Please refer
3947to :ref:`Measured Boot Design` for more details.
