TF-A code documentation

by Michal Simek

Hi, I have talked to a couple of people to figure out what TF-A project is using for code documentation. Because I see at least in our platform that our documentation is somewhere between doxygen and kernel-doc but actually with a lot of mismatches. Sanbrine mentioned sending an email to the mailing list to start to have discussion about it. That's why I want to know the official code documentation format and how we should be checking that everything matches to make sure that documentation is not out of sync from code itself. When this is clear I will ask my team to fix all these issues. Thanks, Michal -- Michal Simek, Ing.

FEAT_SVE enablement in TF-A

by Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand

Hello all, We are sending this note to notify you of one of the breaking changes related to the enablement of FEAT_SVE in TF-A. This mainly impacts platforms which are configurable (FVP, QEMU, Total Compute). FEAT_SVE has now been moved under the Feature detection mechanism wherein a CPU feature macro can have 3 possible states * 0: FEAT_STATE_DISABLED * 1: FEAT_STATE_ALWAYS ( Always enabled, no runtime check) * 2: FEAT_STATE_CHECK (Dynamically check based on ID registers, done each time when feature registers are being accessed) For platforms which have a single configuration, it's better to choose either disabled or enabled (as it is a bit faster as there is no dynamic check). For platforms which can have different HW configurations, it makes sense to put them under FEAT_STATE_CHECK(=2), so that they will boot with any configuration of HW. Keeping this in mind, all configurable platforms (FVP, QEMU, TC) have been modified to adopt dynamic detection(FEAT_STATE_CHECK) for FEAT_SVE. [1] SVE Patch Reference: [1] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/20306 Best regards, Jayanth

rk3399 issue: no DMA in Linux with mainline TF-A and U-Boot SPL

by Christoph Fritz

Hello Kever, on a rk3399, booting current U-Boot SPL with mainline TF-A leads to missing DMA (and no sound) on Linux. However, when using rockchip its so called mini-loader (rk3399_miniloader_v1.26.bin) and their BL31 (rk3399_bl31_v1.35.elf) to boot, DMA works perfectly fine. Tested on a custom rk3399 board and on ROCK Pi4. Attached to this mail are two boot logs with some debug prints: - good_amba_log.txt (DMA works) - no_amba_log.txt (no DMA device) The main difference I can spot between the two logs is that on Linux (drivers/amba/bus.c) AMBA_CID (0xb105f00d) cannot be found. Instead, only some CORESIGHT_CIDs (presumably for debugging) and four 0x00000000 CIDs are detected. As a result, the "PL330 DMAC-241330" driver does not load. My theory is that DMA needs to be allowed somewhere in the undocumented syscon- registers, similar to what U-Boot is already doing for eMMC in arch_cpu_init() (arch/arm/mach-rockchip/rk3399/rk3399.c). Any ideas? Or maybe I'm just missing some configuration? Since multiple software projects are involved (TF-A, OP-TEE, U-Boot, Linux), I Cc'ed a bit. Thanks -- Christoph

Hi Folks, I’ve just updated the Techforum session information (Slides and Recording) from the RAS Handing session last week on https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-a-technical-forum/ which will be deployed soon once the patch is approved. The next TF-A Tech forum is due on Thursday 6th April at 4pm BST. At this time I don’t have any topics for that session. If anybody in the community has anything they would like to present please do reach out to me. Thanks Joanna

Workaround for ARM Cortex-A78AE Erratum 1941500 is not enabled

by matthias.rosenfelder＠nio.io

Hi, according to the current erratum document for the ARM Cortex-A78AE [0], the workaround for erratum 1941500 says: "This erratum can be avoided by setting CPUECTLR_EL1[8] to 1." However, the current code on branch "master" (git hash 5906d97a832b6f6 ) at https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/tree/lib/cpus/a… executes a "bic" instruction with an immediate, which is a synthetic instruction to clear the bit, instead of setting it. Moreover, the comment above says "Set bit 8 in ECTLR_EL1", which is inconsistent to the code. The equivalent workaround for the Cortex-A78 non-AE (erratum 1941498) uses the correct "orr" (bitwise-or) instruction to set the bit: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/tree/lib/cpus/a… Please confirm if this is an error. Thank you. Best Regards, Matthias [0] "Arm Cortex-A78AE (MP105) Software Developer Errata Notice", Document version: v14.0, Document ID: SDEN-1707912, https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN1707912/latest

Question about configuring Juno R2 GPU SMMU in TF-A

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I try to enable the smmu of Juno R2 development board but face two great challenges. I am working on them and I still need some hints. Here are my problems: 1. By reading the SMMUv1 manuals I find that several registers are related to secure state (e.g., SMMU_sCR0). But in my TF-A and the latest version I can only find the SMMUv3 configurations, not SMMUv1/2. Thus, how to config these registers? Any reference? 2. For the non-secure GPU SMMU regs, I try to map and read them based on the Juno R2 manual. I know the GPU SMMU is a MMU-400, and its mmio is in 0x2b40_0000 - 0x2b40_ffff. Then in EL1 I first do ioremap(0x2b400000,0x10000) and then ioread32(). However I get the SError as "Bad mode in Error handler detected on CPU1, code 0xbf000002". I also try to do it in EL2 (with a hvc call and reading in the handler), but cannot get any valid number and still get SError when exiting EL2. But when I access the other smmus (e.g., a PCIe SMMU, in 0x2b50_0000), it works fine. Thus, is there something to prevent the Non-secure World from accessing the GPU SMMU MMIO? My source codes are downloaded from the arm-reference-platforms, in which Linux is v4.14.59 and TF-A is v2.1. Can someone help me? Sincerely, WANG Chenxu
