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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2645
2646    Argument : uint32_t
2647    Return   : void
2648
2649This function enables the MMU. The boot code calls this function with MMU and
2650caches disabled. This function should program necessary registers to enable
2651translation, and upon return, the MMU on the calling PE must be enabled.
2652
2653The function must honor flags passed in the first argument. These flags are
2654defined by the translation library, and can be found in the file
2655``include/lib/xlat_tables/xlat_mmu_helpers.h``.
2656
2657On DynamIQ systems, this function must not use stack while enabling MMU, which
2658is how the function in xlat table library version 2 is implemented.
2659
2660Function : plat_init_apkey [optional]
2661~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2662
2663::
2664
2665    Argument : void
2666    Return   : uint128_t
2667
2668This function returns the 128-bit value which can be used to program ARMv8.3
2669pointer authentication keys.
2670
2671The value should be obtained from a reliable source of randomness.
2672
2673This function is only needed if ARMv8.3 pointer authentication is used in the
2674Trusted Firmware by building with ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` option set to 1, 2 or 3.
2675
2676Function : plat_get_syscnt_freq2() [mandatory]
2677~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2678
2679::
2680
2681    Argument : void
2682    Return   : unsigned int
2683
2684This function is used by the architecture setup code to retrieve the counter
2685frequency for the CPU's generic timer. This value will be programmed into the
2686``CNTFRQ_EL0`` register. In Arm standard platforms, it returns the base frequency
2687of the system counter, which is retrieved from the first entry in the frequency
2688modes table.
2689
2690#define : PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE [optional]
2691~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2692
2693When ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, this constant defines the total memory (in
2694bytes) aligned to the cache line boundary that should be allocated per-cpu to
2695accommodate all the bakery locks.
2696
2697If this constant is not defined when ``USE_COHERENT_MEM = 0``, the linker
2698calculates the size of the ``.bakery_lock`` input section, aligns it to the
2699nearest ``CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE``, multiplies it with ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT``
2700and stores the result in a linker symbol. This constant prevents a platform
2701from relying on the linker and provide a more efficient mechanism for
2702accessing per-cpu bakery lock information.
2703
2704If this constant is defined and its value is not equal to the value
2705calculated by the linker then a link time assertion is raised. A compile time
2706assertion is raised if the value of the constant is not aligned to the cache
2707line boundary.

2710
2711SDEI porting requirements
2712~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2713
2714The |SDEI| dispatcher requires the platform to provide the following macros
2715and functions, of which some are optional, and some others mandatory.
2716
2717Macros
2718......
2719
2720Macro: PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI [mandatory]
2721^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2722
2723This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2724Normal |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a higher value
2725(therefore of lower priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI``.
2726
2727Macro: PLAT_SDEI_CRITICAL_PRI [mandatory]
2728^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2729
2730This macro must be defined to the EL3 exception priority level associated with
2731Critical |SDEI| events on the platform. This must have a lower value
2732(therefore of higher priority) than ``PLAT_SDEI_NORMAL_PRI``.
2733
2734**Note**: |SDEI| exception priorities must be the lowest among Secure
2735priorities. Among the |SDEI| exceptions, Critical |SDEI| priority must
2736be higher than Normal |SDEI| priority.
2737
2738Functions
2739.........
2740
2741Function: int plat_sdei_validate_entry_point() [optional]
2742^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2743
2744::
2745
2746  Argument: uintptr_t ep, unsigned int client_mode
2747  Return: int
2748
2749This function validates the entry point address of the event handler provided by
2750the client for both event registration and *Complete and Resume* |SDEI| calls.
2751The function ensures that the address is valid in the client translation regime.
2752
2753The second argument is the exception level that the client is executing in. It
2754can be Non-Secure EL1 or Non-Secure EL2.
2755
2756The function must return ``0`` for successful validation, or ``-1`` upon failure.
2757
2758The default implementation always returns ``0``. On Arm platforms, this function
2759translates the entry point address within the client translation regime and
2760further ensures that the resulting physical address is located in Non-secure
2761DRAM.
2762
2763Function: void plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger(uint64_t mpidr, unsigned int intr) [optional]
2764^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2765
2766::
2767
2768  Argument: uint64_t
2769  Argument: unsigned int
2770  Return: void
2771
2772|SDEI| specification requires that a PE comes out of reset with the events
2773masked. The client therefore is expected to call ``PE_UNMASK`` to unmask
2774|SDEI| events on the PE. No |SDEI| events can be dispatched until such
2775time.
2776
2777Should a PE receive an interrupt that was bound to an |SDEI| event while the
2778events are masked on the PE, the dispatcher implementation invokes the function
2779``plat_sdei_handle_masked_trigger``. The MPIDR of the PE that received the
2780interrupt and the interrupt ID are passed as parameters.
2781
2782The default implementation only prints out a warning message.
2783
2784.. _porting_guide_trng_requirements:
2785
2786TRNG porting requirements
2787~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2788
2789The |TRNG| backend requires the platform to provide the following values
2790and mandatory functions.
2791
2792Values
2793......
2794
2795value: uuid_t plat_trng_uuid [mandatory]
2796^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2797
2798This value must be defined to the UUID of the TRNG backend that is specific to
2799the hardware after ``plat_entropy_setup`` function is called. This value must
2800conform to the SMCCC calling convention; The most significant 32 bits of the
2801UUID must not equal ``0xffffffff`` or the signed integer ``-1`` as this value in
2802w0 indicates failure to get a TRNG source.
2803
2804Functions
2805.........
2806
2807Function: void plat_entropy_setup(void) [mandatory]
2808^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2809
2810::
2811
2812  Argument: none
2813  Return: none
2814
2815This function is expected to do platform-specific initialization of any TRNG
2816hardware. This may include generating a UUID from a hardware-specific seed.
2817
2818Function: bool plat_get_entropy(uint64_t \*out) [mandatory]
2819^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2820
2821::
2822
2823  Argument: uint64_t *
2824  Return: bool
2825  Out : when the return value is true, the entropy has been written into the
2826  storage pointed to
2827
2828This function writes entropy into storage provided by the caller. If no entropy
2829is available, it must return false and the storage must not be written.
2830
2831.. _psci_in_bl31:
2832
2833Power State Coordination Interface (in BL31)
2834--------------------------------------------
2835
2836The TF-A implementation of the PSCI API is based around the concept of a
2837*power domain*. A *power domain* is a CPU or a logical group of CPUs which
2838share some state on which power management operations can be performed as
2839specified by `PSCI`_. Each CPU in the system is assigned a cpu index which is
2840a unique number between ``0`` and ``PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1``. The
2841*power domains* are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure and each
2842*power domain* can be identified in a system by the cpu index of any CPU that
2843is part of that domain and a *power domain level*. A processing element (for
2844example, a CPU) is at level 0. If the *power domain* node above a CPU is a
2845logical grouping of CPUs that share some state, then level 1 is that group of
2846CPUs (for example, a cluster), and level 2 is a group of clusters (for
2847example, the system). More details on the power domain topology and its
2848organization can be found in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`.
2849
2850BL31's platform initialization code exports a pointer to the platform-specific
2851power management operations required for the PSCI implementation to function
2852correctly. This information is populated in the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure. The
2853PSCI implementation calls members of the ``plat_psci_ops`` structure for performing
2854power management operations on the power domains. For example, the target
2855CPU is specified by its ``MPIDR`` in a PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call. The ``pwr_domain_on()``
2856handler (if present) is called for the CPU power domain.
2857
2858The ``power-state`` parameter of a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call can be used to
2859describe composite power states specific to a platform. The PSCI implementation
2860defines a generic representation of the power-state parameter, which is an
2861array of local power states where each index corresponds to a power domain
2862level. Each entry contains the local power state the power domain at that power
2863level could enter. It depends on the ``validate_power_state()`` handler to
2864convert the power-state parameter (possibly encoding a composite power state)
2865passed in a PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` call to this representation.
2866
2867The following functions form part of platform port of PSCI functionality.
2868
2869Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_start() [optional]
2870~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2871
2872::
2873
2874    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2875    Return   : void
2876
2877This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2878accounting before entering a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field of
2879``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2880differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2881index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2882state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2883residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2884statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2885default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2886
2887Function : plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop() [optional]
2888~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2889
2890::
2891
2892    Argument : const psci_power_state_t *
2893    Return   : void
2894
2895This is an optional hook that platforms can implement for residency statistics
2896accounting after exiting from a low power state. The ``pwr_domain_state`` field
2897of ``state_info`` (first argument) can be inspected if stat accounting is done
2898differently at CPU level versus higher levels. As an example, if the element at
2899index 0 (CPU power level) in the ``pwr_domain_state`` array indicates a power down
2900state, special hardware logic may be programmed in order to keep track of the
2901residency statistics. For higher levels (array indices > 0), the residency
2902statistics could be tracked in software using PMF. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the
2903default implementation will use PMF to capture timestamps.
2904
2905Function : plat_psci_stat_get_residency() [optional]
2906~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2907
2908::
2909
2910    Argument : unsigned int, const psci_power_state_t *, unsigned int
2911    Return   : u_register_t
2912
2913This is an optional interface that is is invoked after resuming from a low power
2914state and provides the time spent resident in that low power state by the power
2915domain at a particular power domain level. When a CPU wakes up from suspend,
2916all its parent power domain levels are also woken up. The generic PSCI code
2917invokes this function for each parent power domain that is resumed and it
2918identified by the ``lvl`` (first argument) parameter. The ``state_info`` (second
2919argument) describes the low power state that the power domain has resumed from.
2920The current CPU is the first CPU in the power domain to resume from the low
2921power state and the ``last_cpu_idx`` (third parameter) is the index of the last
2922CPU in the power domain to suspend and may be needed to calculate the residency
2923for that power domain.
2924
2925Function : plat_get_target_pwr_state() [optional]
2926~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2927
2928::
2929
2930    Argument : unsigned int, const plat_local_state_t *, unsigned int
2931    Return   : plat_local_state_t
2932
2933The PSCI generic code uses this function to let the platform participate in
2934state coordination during a power management operation. The function is passed
2935a pointer to an array of platform specific local power state ``states`` (second
2936argument) which contains the requested power state for each CPU at a particular
2937power domain level ``lvl`` (first argument) within the power domain. The function
2938is expected to traverse this array of upto ``ncpus`` (third argument) and return
2939a coordinated target power state by the comparing all the requested power
2940states. The target power state should not be deeper than any of the requested
2941power states.
2942
2943A weak definition of this API is provided by default wherein it assumes
2944that the platform assigns a local state value in order of increasing depth
2945of the power state i.e. for two power states X & Y, if X < Y
2946then X represents a shallower power state than Y. As a result, the
2947coordinated target local power state for a power domain will be the minimum
2948of the requested local power state values.
2949
2950Function : plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc() [mandatory]
2951~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2952
2953::
2954
2955    Argument : void
2956    Return   : const unsigned char *
2957
2958This function returns a pointer to the byte array containing the power domain
2959topology tree description. The format and method to construct this array are
2960described in :ref:`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`. The BL31 PSCI
2961initialization code requires this array to be described by the platform, either
2962statically or dynamically, to initialize the power domain topology tree. In case
2963the array is populated dynamically, then plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
2964plat_my_core_pos() should also be implemented suitably so that the topology tree
2965description matches the CPU indices returned by these APIs. These APIs together
2966form the platform interface for the PSCI topology framework.
2967
2968Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]
2969~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2970
2971::
2972
2973    Argument : uintptr_t, const plat_psci_ops **
2974    Return   : int
2975
2976This function may execute with the MMU and data caches enabled if the platform
2977port does the necessary initializations in ``bl31_plat_arch_setup()``. It is only
2978called by the primary CPU.
2979
2980This function is called by PSCI initialization code. Its purpose is to let
2981the platform layer know about the warm boot entrypoint through the
2982``sec_entrypoint`` (first argument) and to export handler routines for
2983platform-specific psci power management actions by populating the passed
2984pointer with a pointer to BL31's private ``plat_psci_ops`` structure.
2985
2986A description of each member of this structure is given below. Please refer to
2987the Arm FVP specific implementation of these handlers in
2988``plat/arm/board/fvp/fvp_pm.c`` as an example. For each PSCI function that the
2989platform wants to support, the associated operation or operations in this
2990structure must be provided and implemented (Refer section 4 of
2991:ref:`Firmware Design` for the PSCI API supported in TF-A). To disable a PSCI
2992function in a platform port, the operation should be removed from this
2993structure instead of providing an empty implementation.
2994
2995plat_psci_ops.cpu_standby()
2996...........................
2997
2998Perform the platform-specific actions to enter the standby state for a cpu
2999indicated by the passed argument. This provides a fast path for CPU standby
3000wherein overheads of PSCI state management and lock acquisition is avoided.
3001For this handler to be invoked by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND`` API implementation,
3002the suspend state type specified in the ``power-state`` parameter should be
3003STANDBY and the target power domain level specified should be the CPU. The
3004handler should put the CPU into a low power retention state (usually by
3005issuing a wfi instruction) and ensure that it can be woken up from that
3006state by a normal interrupt. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3007
3008plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on()
3009.............................
3010
3011Perform the platform specific actions to power on a CPU, specified
3012by the ``MPIDR`` (first argument). The generic code expects the platform to
3013return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success or PSCI_E_INTERN_FAIL for any failure.
3014
3015plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off_early() [optional]
3016...............................................
3017
3018This optional function performs the platform specific actions to check if
3019powering off the calling CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as
3020indicated by the ``target_state`` (first argument) is possible or allowed.
3021
3022The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3023for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3024
3025For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3026power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3027for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3028coordination. The generic code expects PSCI_E_DENIED return code if the
3029platform thinks that CPU_OFF should not proceed on the calling CPU.
3030
3031plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_off()
3032..............................
3033
3034Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to power off the calling CPU
3035and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the ``target_state``
3036(first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_OFF`` API implementation.
3037
3038The ``target_state`` encodes the platform coordinated target local power states
3039for the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels. The handler
3040needs to perform power management operation corresponding to the local state
3041at each power level.
3042
3043For this handler, the local power state for the CPU power domain will be a
3044power down state where as it could be either power down, retention or run state
3045for the higher power domain levels depending on the result of state
3046coordination. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3047
3048plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_validate_suspend() [optional]
3049......................................................
3050
3051This is an optional function that is only compiled into the build if the build
3052option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` is enabled.
3053
3054If implemented, this function allows the platform to perform platform specific
3055validations based on hardware states. The generic code expects this function to
3056return PSCI_E_SUCCESS on success, or either PSCI_E_DENIED or
3057PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as appropriate for any invalid requests.
3058
3059plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]
3060...........................................................
3061
3062This optional function may be used as a performance optimization to replace
3063or complement pwr_domain_suspend() on some platforms. Its calling semantics
3064are identical to pwr_domain_suspend(), except the PSCI implementation only
3065calls this function when suspending to a power down state, and it guarantees
3066that data caches are enabled.
3067
3068When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY = 0, the PSCI implementation disables data caches
3069before calling pwr_domain_suspend(). If the target_state corresponds to a
3070power down state and it is safe to perform some or all of the platform
3071specific actions in that function with data caches enabled, it may be more
3072efficient to move those actions to this function. When HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY
3073= 1, data caches remain enabled throughout, and so there is no advantage to
3074moving platform specific actions to this function.
3075
3076plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend()
3077..................................
3078
3079Perform the platform specific actions to prepare to suspend the calling
3080CPU and its higher parent power domain levels as indicated by the
3081``target_state`` (first argument). It is called by the PSCI ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3082API implementation.
3083
3084The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in
3085the ``pwr_domain_off()`` operation. It encodes the platform coordinated
3086target local power states for the CPU power domain and its parent
3087power domain levels. The handler needs to perform power management operation
3088corresponding to the local state at each power level. The generic code
3089expects the handler to succeed.
3090
3091The difference between turning a power domain off versus suspending it is that
3092in the former case, the power domain is expected to re-initialize its state
3093when it is next powered on (see ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``). In the latter
3094case, the power domain is expected to save enough state so that it can resume
3095execution by restoring this state when its powered on (see
3096``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``).
3097
3098When suspending a core, the platform can also choose to power off the GICv3
3099Redistributor and ITS through an implementation-defined sequence. To achieve
3100this safely, the ITS context must be saved first. The architectural part is
3101implemented by the ``gicv3_its_save_disable()`` helper, but most of the needed
3102sequence is implementation defined and it is therefore the responsibility of
3103the platform code to implement the necessary sequence. Then the GIC
3104Redistributor context can be saved using the ``gicv3_rdistif_save()`` helper.
3105Powering off the Redistributor requires the implementation to support it and it
3106is the responsibility of the platform code to execute the right implementation
3107defined sequence.
3108
3109When a system suspend is requested, the platform can also make use of the
3110``gicv3_distif_save()`` helper to save the context of the GIC Distributor after
3111it has saved the context of the Redistributors and ITS of all the cores in the
3112system. The context of the Distributor can be large and may require it to be
3113allocated in a special area if it cannot fit in the platform's global static
3114data, for example in DRAM. The Distributor can then be powered down using an
3115implementation-defined sequence.
3116
3117plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()
3118.......................................
3119
3120This is an optional function and, if implemented, is expected to perform
3121platform specific actions before the CPU is powered down. Since this function is
3122invoked outside the PSCI locks, the actions performed in this hook must be local
3123to the CPU or the platform must ensure that races between multiple CPUs cannot
3124occur.
3125
3126The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_off()``
3127operation and it encodes the platform coordinated target local power states for
3128the CPU power domain and its parent power domain levels.
3129
3130It is preferred that this function returns. The caller will invoke
3131``wfi()`` to powerdown the CPU, mitigate any powerdown errata,
3132and handle any wakeups that may arise. Previously, this function did not return
3133and instead called ``wfi`` (in an infinite loop) directly. This is still
3134possible on platforms where this is guaranteed to be terminal, however, it is
3135strongly discouraged going forward.
3136
3137Previously this function was called ``pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()`` and invoked
3138``psci_power_down_wfi()`` (now removed).
3139
3140plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish()
3141....................................
3142
3143This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3144powered on and released from reset in response to an earlier PSCI ``CPU_ON`` call.
3145It performs the platform-specific setup required to initialize enough state for
3146this CPU to enter the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware
3147services.
3148
3149The ``target_state`` (first argument) is the prior state of the power domains
3150immediately before the CPU was turned on. It indicates which power domains
3151above the CPU might require initialization due to having previously been in
3152low power states. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3153
3154plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_on_finish_late() [optional]
3155...........................................................
3156
3157This optional function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling
3158CPU is fully powered on with respective data caches enabled. The calling CPU and
3159the associated cluster are guaranteed to be participating in coherency. This
3160function gives the flexibility to perform any platform-specific actions safely,
3161such as initialization or modification of shared data structures, without the
3162overhead of explicit cache maintainace operations.
3163
3164The ``target_state`` has a similar meaning as described in the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()``
3165operation. The generic code expects the handler to succeed.
3166
3167plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_finish()
3168.........................................
3169
3170This function is called by the PSCI implementation after the calling CPU is
3171powered on and released from reset in response to an asynchronous wakeup
3172event, for example a timer interrupt that was programmed by the CPU during the
3173``CPU_SUSPEND`` call or ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` call. It performs the platform-specific
3174setup required to restore the saved state for this CPU to resume execution
3175in the normal world and also provide secure runtime firmware services.
3176
3177The ``target_state`` (first argument) has a similar meaning as described in
3178the ``pwr_domain_on_finish()`` operation. The generic code expects the platform
3179to succeed.
3180
3181If the Distributor, Redistributors or ITS have been powered off as part of a
3182suspend, their context must be restored in this function in the reverse order
3183to how they were saved during suspend sequence.
3184
3185plat_psci_ops.system_off()
3186..........................
3187
3188This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_OFF``
3189call. It performs the platform-specific system poweroff sequence after
3190notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3191function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3192
3193plat_psci_ops.system_reset()
3194............................
3195
3196This function is called by PSCI implementation in response to a ``SYSTEM_RESET``
3197call. It performs the platform-specific system reset sequence after
3198notifying the Secure Payload Dispatcher. The caller will call ``wfi`` if this
3199function returns, similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3200
3201plat_psci_ops.validate_power_state()
3202....................................
3203
3204This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``
3205call to validate the ``power_state`` parameter of the PSCI API and if valid,
3206populate it in ``req_state`` (second argument) array as power domain level
3207specific local states. If the ``power_state`` is invalid, the platform must
3208return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error, which is propagated back to the
3209normal world PSCI client.
3210
3211plat_psci_ops.validate_ns_entrypoint()
3212......................................
3213
3214This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``CPU_SUSPEND``,
3215``SYSTEM_SUSPEND`` and ``CPU_ON`` calls to validate the non-secure ``entry_point``
3216parameter passed by the normal world. If the ``entry_point`` is invalid,
3217the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_ADDRESS as error, which is
3218propagated back to the normal world PSCI client.
3219
3220plat_psci_ops.get_sys_suspend_power_state()
3221...........................................
3222
3223This function is called by the PSCI implementation during the ``SYSTEM_SUSPEND``
3224call to get the ``req_state`` parameter from platform which encodes the power
3225domain level specific local states to suspend to system affinity level. The
3226``req_state`` will be utilized to do the PSCI state coordination and
3227``pwr_domain_suspend()`` will be invoked with the coordinated target state to
3228enter system suspend.
3229
3230plat_psci_ops.get_pwr_lvl_state_idx()
3231.....................................
3232
3233This is an optional function and, if implemented, is invoked by the PSCI
3234implementation to convert the ``local_state`` (first argument) at a specified
3235``pwr_lvl`` (second argument) to an index between 0 and
3236``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` - 1. This function is only needed if the platform
3237supports more than two local power states at each power domain level, that is
3238``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL_STATES`` is greater than 2, and needs to account for these
3239local power states.
3240
3241plat_psci_ops.translate_power_state_by_mpidr()
3242..............................................
3243
3244This is an optional function and, if implemented, verifies the ``power_state``
3245(second argument) parameter of the PSCI API corresponding to a target power
3246domain. The target power domain is identified by using both ``MPIDR`` (first
3247argument) and the power domain level encoded in ``power_state``. The power domain
3248level specific local states are to be extracted from ``power_state`` and be
3249populated in the ``output_state`` (third argument) array. The functionality
3250is similar to the ``validate_power_state`` function described above and is
3251envisaged to be used in case the validity of ``power_state`` depend on the
3252targeted power domain. If the ``power_state`` is invalid for the targeted power
3253domain, the platform must return PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS as error. If this
3254function is not implemented, then the generic implementation relies on
3255``validate_power_state`` function to translate the ``power_state``.
3256
3257This function can also be used in case the platform wants to support local
3258power state encoding for ``power_state`` parameter of PSCI_STAT_COUNT/RESIDENCY
3259APIs as described in Section 5.18 of `PSCI`_.
3260
3261plat_psci_ops.get_node_hw_state()
3262.................................
3263
3264This is an optional function. If implemented this function is intended to return
3265the power state of a node (identified by the first parameter, the ``MPIDR``) in
3266the power domain topology (identified by the second parameter, ``power_level``),
3267as retrieved from a power controller or equivalent component on the platform.
3268Upon successful completion, the implementation must map and return the final
3269status among ``HW_ON``, ``HW_OFF`` or ``HW_STANDBY``. Upon encountering failures, it
3270must return either ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMS`` or ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED`` as
3271appropriate.
3272
3273Implementations are not expected to handle ``power_levels`` greater than
3274``PLAT_MAX_PWR_LVL``.
3275
3276plat_psci_ops.system_reset2()
3277.............................
3278
3279This is an optional function. If implemented this function is
3280called during the ``SYSTEM_RESET2`` call to perform a reset
3281based on the first parameter ``reset_type`` as specified in
3282`PSCI`_. The parameter ``cookie`` can be used to pass additional
3283reset information. If the ``reset_type`` is not supported, the
3284function must return ``PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED``. For architectural
3285resets, all failures must return ``PSCI_E_INVALID_PARAMETERS``
3286and vendor reset can return other PSCI error codes as defined
3287in `PSCI`_. If this function returns success, the caller will call
3288``wfi`` similar to `plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_pwr_down()`_.
3289
3290plat_psci_ops.write_mem_protect()
3291.................................
3292
3293This is an optional function. If implemented it enables or disables the
3294``MEM_PROTECT`` functionality based on the value of ``val``.
3295A non-zero value enables ``MEM_PROTECT`` and a value of zero
3296disables it. Upon encountering failures it must return a negative value
3297and on success it must return 0.
3298
3299plat_psci_ops.read_mem_protect()
3300................................
3301
3302This is an optional function. If implemented it returns the current
3303state of ``MEM_PROTECT`` via the ``val`` parameter.  Upon encountering
3304failures it must return a negative value and on success it must
3305return 0.
3306
3307plat_psci_ops.mem_protect_chk()
3308...............................
3309
3310This is an optional function. If implemented it checks if a memory
3311region defined by a base address ``base`` and with a size of ``length``
3312bytes is protected by ``MEM_PROTECT``.  If the region is protected
3313then it must return 0, otherwise it must return a negative number.

3316
3317Interrupt Management framework (in BL31)
3318----------------------------------------
3319
3320BL31 implements an Interrupt Management Framework (IMF) to manage interrupts
3321generated in either security state and targeted to EL1 or EL2 in the non-secure
3322state or EL3/S-EL1 in the secure state. The design of this framework is
3323described in the :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`
3324
3325A platform should export the following APIs to support the IMF. The following
3326text briefly describes each API and its implementation in Arm standard
3327platforms. The API implementation depends upon the type of interrupt controller
3328present in the platform. Arm standard platform layer supports both
3329`Arm Generic Interrupt Controller version 2.0 (GICv2)`_
3330and `3.0 (GICv3)`_. Juno builds the Arm platform layer to use GICv2 and the
3331FVP can be configured to use either GICv2 or GICv3 depending on the build flag
3332``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` (See :ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for more
3333details).
3334
3335See also: :ref:`Interrupt Controller Abstraction APIs<Platform Interrupt Controller API>`.
3336
3337Function : plat_interrupt_type_to_line() [mandatory]
3338~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3339
3340::
3341
3342    Argument : uint32_t, uint32_t
3343    Return   : uint32_t
3344
3345The Arm processor signals an interrupt exception either through the IRQ or FIQ
3346interrupt line. The specific line that is signaled depends on how the interrupt
3347controller (IC) reports different interrupt types from an execution context in
3348either security state. The IMF uses this API to determine which interrupt line
3349the platform IC uses to signal each type of interrupt supported by the framework
3350from a given security state. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3351
3352The first parameter will be one of the ``INTR_TYPE_*`` values (see
3353:ref:`Interrupt Management Framework`) indicating the target type of the
3354interrupt, the second parameter is the security state of the originating
3355execution context. The return result is the bit position in the ``SCR_EL3``
3356register of the respective interrupt trap: IRQ=1, FIQ=2.
3357
3358In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, S-EL1 interrupts are
3359configured as FIQs and Non-secure interrupts as IRQs from either security
3360state.
3361
3362In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the interrupt line to be
3363configured depends on the security state of the execution context when the
3364interrupt is signalled and are as follows:
3365
3366-  The S-EL1 interrupts are signaled as IRQ in S-EL0/1 context and as FIQ in
3367   NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3368-  The Non secure interrupts are signaled as FIQ in S-EL0/1 context and as IRQ
3369   in the NS-EL0/1/2 context.
3370-  The EL3 interrupts are signaled as FIQ in both S-EL0/1 and NS-EL0/1/2
3371   context.
3372
3373Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3374~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3375
3376::
3377
3378    Argument : void
3379    Return   : uint32_t
3380
3381This API returns the type of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3382platform IC. The IMF uses the interrupt type to retrieve the corresponding
3383handler function. ``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3384pending. The valid interrupt types that can be returned are ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``,
3385``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3386
3387In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3388Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of
3389the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt depends upon the id value as
3390follows.
3391
3392#. id < 1022 is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3393#. id = 1022 is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3394#. id = 1023 is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3395
3396In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, the system register
3397``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 0 Interrupt Register*,
3398is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The type of interrupt
3399depends upon the id value as follows.
3400
3401#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) is reported as a S-EL1 interrupt
3402#. id = ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021) is reported as a Non-secure interrupt.
3403#. id = ``GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT`` (1023) is reported as an invalid interrupt type.
3404#. All other interrupt id's are reported as EL3 interrupt.
3405
3406Function : plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_id() [mandatory]
3407~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3408
3409::
3410
3411    Argument : void
3412    Return   : uint32_t
3413
3414This API returns the id of the highest priority pending interrupt at the
3415platform IC. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned when there is no interrupt
3416pending.
3417
3418In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv2, the *Highest Priority
3419Pending Interrupt Register* (``GICC_HPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the
3420pending interrupt. The id that is returned by API depends upon the value of
3421the id read from the interrupt controller as follows.
3422
3423#. id < 1022. id is returned as is.
3424#. id = 1022. The *Aliased Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register*
3425   (``GICC_AHPPIR``) is read to determine the id of the non-secure interrupt.
3426   This id is returned by the API.
3427#. id = 1023. ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3428
3429In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked from
3430EL3, the system register ``ICC_HPPIR0_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
3431group 0 Register*, is read to determine the id of the pending interrupt. The id
3432that is returned by API depends upon the value of the id read from the
3433interrupt controller as follows.
3434
3435#. id < ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020). id is returned as is.
3436#. id = ``PENDING_G1S_INTID`` (1020) or ``PENDING_G1NS_INTID`` (1021). The system
3437   register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending Interrupt group 1
3438   Register* is read to determine the id of the group 1 interrupt. This id
3439   is returned by the API as long as it is a valid interrupt id
3440#. If the id is any of the special interrupt identifiers,
3441   ``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3442
3443When the API invoked from S-EL1 for GICv3 systems, the id read from system
3444register ``ICC_HPPIR1_EL1``, *Highest Priority Pending group 1 Interrupt
3445Register*, is returned if is not equal to GIC_SPURIOUS_INTERRUPT (1023) else
3446``INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE`` is returned.
3447
3448Function : plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt() [mandatory]
3449~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3450
3451::
3452
3453    Argument : void
3454    Return   : uint32_t
3455
3456This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3457the highest pending interrupt has begun. It should return the raw, unmodified
3458value obtained from the interrupt controller when acknowledging an interrupt.
3459The actual interrupt number shall be extracted from this raw value using the API
3460`plat_ic_get_interrupt_id()<plat_ic_get_interrupt_id>`.
3461
3462This function in Arm standard platforms using GICv2, reads the *Interrupt
3463Acknowledge Register* (``GICC_IAR``). This changes the state of the highest
3464priority pending interrupt from pending to active in the interrupt controller.
3465It returns the value read from the ``GICC_IAR``, unmodified.
3466
3467In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, if the API is invoked
3468from EL3, the function reads the system register ``ICC_IAR0_EL1``, *Interrupt
3469Acknowledge Register group 0*. If the API is invoked from S-EL1, the function
3470reads the system register ``ICC_IAR1_EL1``, *Interrupt Acknowledge Register
3471group 1*. The read changes the state of the highest pending interrupt from
3472pending to active in the interrupt controller. The value read is returned
3473unmodified.
3474
3475The TSP uses this API to start processing of the secure physical timer
3476interrupt.
3477
3478Function : plat_ic_end_of_interrupt() [mandatory]
3479~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3480
3481::
3482
3483    Argument : uint32_t
3484    Return   : void
3485
3486This API is used by the CPU to indicate to the platform IC that processing of
3487the interrupt corresponding to the id (passed as the parameter) has
3488finished. The id should be the same as the id returned by the
3489``plat_ic_acknowledge_interrupt()`` API.
3490
3491Arm standard platforms write the id to the *End of Interrupt Register*
3492(``GICC_EOIR``) in case of GICv2, and to ``ICC_EOIR0_EL1`` or ``ICC_EOIR1_EL1``
3493system register in case of GICv3 depending on where the API is invoked from,
3494EL3 or S-EL1. This deactivates the corresponding interrupt in the interrupt
3495controller.
3496
3497The TSP uses this API to finish processing of the secure physical timer
3498interrupt.
3499
3500Function : plat_ic_get_interrupt_type() [mandatory]
3501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3502
3503::
3504
3505    Argument : uint32_t
3506    Return   : uint32_t
3507
3508This API returns the type of the interrupt id passed as the parameter.
3509``INTR_TYPE_INVAL`` is returned if the id is invalid. If the id is valid, a valid
3510interrupt type (one of ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``, ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` and ``INTR_TYPE_NS``) is
3511returned depending upon how the interrupt has been configured by the platform
3512IC. This API must be invoked at EL3.
3513
3514Arm standard platforms using GICv2 configures S-EL1 interrupts as Group0 interrupts
3515and Non-secure interrupts as Group1 interrupts. It reads the group value
3516corresponding to the interrupt id from the relevant *Interrupt Group Register*
3517(``GICD_IGROUPRn``). It uses the group value to determine the type of interrupt.
3518
3519In the case of Arm standard platforms using GICv3, both the *Interrupt Group
3520Register* (``GICD_IGROUPRn``) and *Interrupt Group Modifier Register*
3521(``GICD_IGRPMODRn``) is read to figure out whether the interrupt is configured
3522as Group 0 secure interrupt, Group 1 secure interrupt or Group 1 NS interrupt.
3523
3524Registering a console
3525---------------------
3526
3527Platforms will need to implement the TF-A console framework to register and use
3528a console for visual data output in TF-A. These can be used for data output during
3529the different stages of the firmware boot process and also for debugging purposes.
3530
3531The console framework can be used to output data on to a console using a number of
3532TF-A supported UARTs. Multiple consoles can be registered at the same time with
3533different output scopes (BOOT, RUNTIME, CRASH) so that data can be displayed on
3534their respective consoles without unnecessary cluttering of a single console.
3535
3536Information for registering a console can be found in the :ref:`Console Framework` section
3537of the :ref:`System Design` documentation.
3538
3539Common helper functions

3541Function : elx_panic()
3542~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3543
3544::
3545
3546    Argument : void
3547    Return   : void
3548
3549This API is called from assembly files when reporting a critical failure
3550that has occured in lower EL and is been trapped in EL3. This call
3551**must not** return.
3552
3553Function : el3_panic()
3554~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3555
3556::
3557
3558    Argument : void
3559    Return   : void
3560
3561This API is called from assembly files when encountering a critical failure that
3562cannot be recovered from. This function assumes that it is invoked from a C
3563runtime environment i.e. valid stack exists. This call **must not** return.
3564
3565Function : panic()
3566~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3567
3568::
3569
3570    Argument : void
3571    Return   : void
3572
3573This API called from C files when encountering a critical failure that cannot
3574be recovered from. This function in turn prints backtrace (if enabled) and calls
3575el3_panic(). This call **must not** return.
3576
3577Crash Reporting mechanism (in BL31)
3578-----------------------------------
3579
3580BL31 implements a crash reporting mechanism which prints the various registers
3581of the CPU to enable quick crash analysis and debugging. This mechanism relies
3582on the platform implementing ``plat_crash_console_init``,
3583``plat_crash_console_putc`` and ``plat_crash_console_flush``.
3584
3585The file ``plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S`` contains sample
3586implementation of all of them. Platforms may include this file to their
3587makefiles in order to benefit from them. By default, they will cause the crash
3588output to be routed over the normal console infrastructure and get printed on
3589consoles configured to output in crash state. ``console_set_scope()`` can be
3590used to control whether a console is used for crash output.
3591
3592.. note::
3593   Platforms are responsible for making sure that they only mark consoles for
3594   use in the crash scope that are able to support this, i.e. that are written
3595   in assembly and conform with the register clobber rules for putc()
3596   (x0-x2, x16-x17) and flush() (x0-x3, x16-x17) crash callbacks.
3597
3598In some cases (such as debugging very early crashes that happen before the
3599normal boot console can be set up), platforms may want to control crash output
3600more explicitly. These platforms may instead provide custom implementations for
3601these. They are executed outside of a C environment and without a stack. Many
3602console drivers provide functions named ``console_xxx_core_init/putc/flush``
3603that are designed to be used by these functions. See Arm platforms (like juno)
3604for an example of this.

3654.. _External Abort handling and RAS Support:
3655
3656External Abort handling and RAS Support
3657---------------------------------------
3658
3659If any cores on the platform support powerdown abandon (check the "Core powerup
3660and powerdown sequence" in their TRMs), then
3661these functions should be able to handle being called with power domains off and
3662after the powerdown ``wfi``. In other words it may run after a call to
3663``pwr_domain_suspend()`` and before a call to ``pwr_domain_suspend_finish()``
3664(and their power off counterparts).
3665
3666Should this not be desirable, or if there is no powerdown abandon support, then
3667RAS errors should be masked by writing any relevant error records in any
3668powerdown hooks to prevent deadlocks due to a RAS error after the point of no
3669return. See the core's TRM for further information.
3670
3671Function : plat_ea_handler
3672~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3673
3674::
3675
3676    Argument : int
3677    Argument : uint64_t
3678    Argument : void *
3679    Argument : void *
3680    Argument : uint64_t
3681    Return   : void
3682
3683This function is invoked by the runtime exception handling framework for the
3684platform to handle an External Abort received at EL3. The intention of the
3685function is to attempt to resolve the cause of External Abort and return;
3686if that's not possible then an orderly shutdown of the system is initiated.
3687
3688The first parameter (``int ea_reason``) indicates the reason for External Abort.
3689Its value is one of ``ERROR_EA_*`` constants defined in ``ea_handle.h``.
3690
3691The second parameter (``uint64_t syndrome``) is the respective syndrome
3692presented to EL3 after having received the External Abort. Depending on the
3693nature of the abort (as can be inferred from the ``ea_reason`` parameter), this
3694can be the content of either ``ESR_EL3`` or ``DISR_EL1``.
3695
3696The third parameter (``void *cookie``) is unused for now. The fourth parameter
3697(``void *handle``) is a pointer to the preempted context. The fifth parameter
3698(``uint64_t flags``) indicates the preempted security state. These parameters
3699are received from the top-level exception handler.
3700
3701This function must be implemented if a platform expects Firmware First handling
3702of External Aborts.
3703
3704Function : plat_handle_uncontainable_ea
3705~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3706
3707::
3708
3709    Argument : int
3710    Argument : uint64_t
3711    Return   : void
3712
3713This function is invoked by the RAS framework when an External Abort of
3714Uncontainable type is received at EL3. Due to the critical nature of
3715Uncontainable errors, the intention of this function is to initiate orderly
3716shutdown of the system, and is not expected to return.
3717
3718This function must be implemented in assembly.
3719
3720The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3721
3722The default implementation of this function calls
3723``report_unhandled_exception``.
3724
3725Function : plat_handle_double_fault
3726~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3727
3728::
3729
3730    Argument : int
3731    Argument : uint64_t
3732    Return   : void
3733
3734This function is invoked by the RAS framework when another External Abort is
3735received at EL3 while one is already being handled. I.e., a call to
3736``plat_ea_handler`` is outstanding. Due to its critical nature, the intention of
3737this function is to initiate orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected
3738recover or return.
3739
3740This function must be implemented in assembly.
3741
3742The first and second parameters are the same as that of ``plat_ea_handler``.
3743
3744The default implementation of this function calls
3745``report_unhandled_exception``.
3746
3747Function : plat_handle_el3_ea
3748~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3749
3750::
3751
3752    Return   : void
3753
3754This function is invoked when an External Abort is received while executing in
3755EL3. Due to its critical nature, the intention of this function is to initiate
3756orderly shutdown of the system, and is not expected recover or return.
3757
3758This function must be implemented in assembly.
3759
3760The default implementation of this function calls
3761``report_unhandled_exception``.
3762
3763Function : plat_handle_rng_trap
3764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3765
3766::
3767
3768    Argument : uint64_t
3769    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3770    Return   : int
3771
3772This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3773system register trap caused by access to the RNDR or RNDRRS registers. It allows
3774platforms implementing ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` and enabling ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` to
3775emulate those system registers by returing back some entropy to the lower EL.
3776
3777The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3778syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped. The interesting
3779information in there is the target register (``get_sysreg_iss_rt()``).
3780
3781The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3782lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3783was trapped. Its content can be changed, to put the entropy into the target
3784register.
3785
3786The return value indicates how to proceed:
3787
3788-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3789-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3790   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3791-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3792   to the next instruction.
3793
3794This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables FEAT_RNG_TRAP.
3795
3796Function : plat_handle_impdef_trap
3797~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3798
3799::
3800
3801    Argument : uint64_t
3802    Argument : cpu_context_t *
3803    Return   : int
3804
3805This function is invoked by BL31's exception handler when there is a synchronous
3806system register trap caused by access to the implementation defined registers.
3807It allows platforms enabling ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP`` to emulate those system
3808registers choosing to program bits of their choice. If using in combination with
3809``ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY``, the macros
3810{SCR,MDCR,CPTR}_PLAT_{BITS,IGNORED,FLIPPED} should be defined to report correct
3811results.
3812
3813The first parameter (``uint64_t esr_el3``) contains the content of the ESR_EL3
3814syndrome register, which encodes the instruction that was trapped.
3815
3816The second parameter (``cpu_context_t *ctx``) represents the CPU state in the
3817lower exception level, at the time when the execution of the ``mrs`` instruction
3818was trapped.
3819
3820The return value indicates how to proceed:
3821
3822-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_UNHANDLED`` (-1), the machine will panic.
3823-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_REPEAT`` (0), the exception handler will return
3824   to the same instruction, so its execution will be repeated.
3825-  When returning ``TRAP_RET_CONTINUE`` (1), the exception handler will return
3826   to the next instruction.
3827
3828This function needs to be implemented by a platform if it enables
3829IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP.
3830
3831Build flags
3832-----------
3833
3834There are some build flags which can be defined by the platform to control
3835inclusion or exclusion of certain BL stages from the FIP image. These flags
3836need to be defined in the platform makefile which will get included by the
3837build system.
3838
3839-  **NEED_BL33**
3840   By default, this flag is defined ``yes`` by the build system and ``BL33``
3841   build option should be supplied as a build option. The platform has the
3842   option of excluding the BL33 image in the ``fip`` image by defining this flag
3843   to ``no``. If any of the options ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` or ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
3844   are used, this flag will be set to ``no`` automatically.
3845
3846-  **ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR**
3847   By default, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.ARM_ARCH_MINOR is set to 8.0 in ``defaults.mk``,
3848   if the platform makefile/build defines or uses the correct ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and
3849   ARM_ARCH_MINOR then mandatory Architectural features available for that Arch
3850   version will be enabled by default and any optional Arch feature supported by
3851   the Architecture and available in TF-A can be enabled from platform specific
3852   makefile. Look up to ``arch_features.mk`` for details pertaining to mandatory
3853   and optional Arch specific features.
3854
3855Platform include paths
3856----------------------
3857
3858Platforms are allowed to add more include paths to be passed to the compiler.
3859The ``PLAT_INCLUDES`` variable is used for this purpose. This is needed in
3860particular for the file ``platform_def.h``.
3861
3862Example:
3863
3864.. code:: c
3865
3866  PLAT_INCLUDES  += -Iinclude/plat/myplat/include
3867
3868C Library
3869---------
3870
3871To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided
3872by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag
3873to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. Instead the
3874required headers are included in the TF-A source tree. The library only
3875contains those C library definitions required by the local implementation. If
3876more functionality is required, the needed library functions will need to be
3877added to the local implementation.
3878
3879Some C headers have been obtained from `FreeBSD`_ and `SCC`_, while others have
3880been written specifically for TF-A. Some implementation files have been obtained
3881from `FreeBSD`_, others have been written specifically for TF-A as well. The
3882files can be found in ``include/lib/libc`` and ``lib/libc``.
3883
3884SCC can be found in http://www.simple-cc.org/. A copy of the `FreeBSD`_ sources
3885can be obtained from http://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.
3886
3887Storage abstraction layer
3888-------------------------
3889
3890In order to improve platform independence and portability a storage abstraction
3891layer is used to load data from non-volatile platform storage. Currently
3892storage access is only required by BL1 and BL2 phases and performed inside the
3893``load_image()`` function in ``bl_common.c``.
3894
3895.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_framework_usage_overview.puml
3896
3897It is mandatory to implement at least one storage driver. For the Arm
3898development platforms the Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver is provided as
3899the default means to load data from storage (see :ref:`firmware_design_fip`).
3900The storage layer is described in the header file
3901``include/drivers/io/io_storage.h``. The implementation of the common library is
3902in ``drivers/io/io_storage.c`` and the driver files are located in
3903``drivers/io/``.
3904
3905.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_arm_class_diagram.puml
3906
3907Each IO driver must provide ``io_dev_*`` structures, as described in
3908``drivers/io/io_driver.h``. These are returned via a mandatory registration
3909function that is called on platform initialization. The semi-hosting driver
3910implementation in ``io_semihosting.c`` can be used as an example.
3911
3912Each platform should register devices and their drivers via the storage
3913abstraction layer. These drivers then need to be initialized by bootloader
3914phases as required in their respective ``blx_platform_setup()`` functions.
3915
3916.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_registration.puml
3917
3918The storage abstraction layer provides mechanisms (``io_dev_init()``) to
3919initialize storage devices before IO operations are called.
3920
3921.. uml:: resources/diagrams/plantuml/io_dev_init_and_check.puml
3922
3923The basic operations supported by the layer
3924include ``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``, ``write()``, ``size()`` and ``seek()``.
3925Drivers do not have to implement all operations, but each platform must
3926provide at least one driver for a device capable of supporting generic
3927operations such as loading a bootloader image.
3928
3929The current implementation only allows for known images to be loaded by the
3930firmware. These images are specified by using their identifiers, as defined in
3931``include/plat/common/common_def.h`` (or a separate header file included from
3932there). The platform layer (``plat_get_image_source()``) then returns a reference
3933to a device and a driver-specific ``spec`` which will be understood by the driver
3934to allow access to the image data.
3935
3936The layer is designed in such a way that is it possible to chain drivers with
3937other drivers. For example, file-system drivers may be implemented on top of
3938physical block devices, both represented by IO devices with corresponding
3939drivers. In such a case, the file-system "binding" with the block device may
3940be deferred until the file-system device is initialised.
3941
3942The abstraction currently depends on structures being statically allocated
3943by the drivers and callers, as the system does not yet provide a means of
3944dynamically allocating memory. This may also have the affect of limiting the
3945amount of open resources per driver.
3946
3947Measured Boot Platform Interface
3948--------------------------------
3949
3950Enabling the MEASURED_BOOT flag adds extra platform requirements. Please refer
3951to :ref:`Measured Boot Design` for more details.
