Re: [TF-A] [RFC] Api to power down all cores

by Sandeep Tripathy

Hi Soby, I realize using term 'PSCI API' in rfc tag is misleading like Achin mentioned in gerrit. Here I wanted to have a generic API to 'stop_other_cores' in secure world. The usage is platform firmware specific. Implementation of 'stop_other_cores' depends on a generic 'IPI' support (1). It leverages the existing EHF. So I feel it is not adding and complexity or overhead in normal execution path. 'stop_other_cores' API implementation depends on some psci private functions to traverse the pd nodes and extract MPIDRs for target pe list. That was the reason to put the function within psci lib. So there are two things. 1- Does this idea of 'stop_other_core' api qualify to be generic 2- Does a generic IPI layer make sense Thanks Sandeep > -----Original Message----- > From: Soby Mathew [mailto:Soby.Mathew@arm.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2020 8:54 PM > To: Sandeep Tripathy > Cc: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org > Subject: RE: [TF-A] [RFC] psci: api to power down all cores > > Hi Sandeep, > Just to understand better, if there is a secure side panic/watchdog > interrupt, > then the secure side is already able to do such an intervention without > the > availability of a PSCI API to the NS side. > > In case the NS world has crashed, then PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET and > PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF APIs can be invoked which then does the appropriate > actions.

Re: [TF-A] [RFC] psci: api to power down all cores

by Soby Mathew

Hi Sandeep, Just to understand better, if there is a secure side panic/watchdog interrupt, then the secure side is already able to do such an intervention without the availability of a PSCI API to the NS side. In case the NS world has crashed, then PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET and PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF APIs can be invoked which then does the appropriate actions. From my reading, the PSCI specification doesn't prevent firmware implementation of the reset and off API's from doing the kind of implementation as per your proposal.

[RFC] psci: api to power down all cores

by Sandeep Tripathy

Hi, I am proposing to have a generic api in psci lib which can be used to force power down all other cores from any initiating core analogous to 'smp_cpu_stop' in linux. It is immune to interrupt lock by EL1/EL2 software. Platforms may use this api in case of secure side panic, secure watchdog interrupt handling or if required in certain types of warm resets. The usage is platform dependent. This depends on a generic implementation of secure IPI (1) which uses EHF to handle IPI at platform defined priority. We probably require more types of secure IPIs. Please review the series Ref: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5324 diff --git a/lib/psci/psci_system_off.c b/lib/psci/psci_system_off.c index 141d69e..011aaa6 100644 --- a/lib/psci/psci_system_off.c +++ b/lib/psci/psci_system_off.c @@ -10,10 +10,44 @@ #include <arch_helpers.h> #include <common/debug.h> #include <drivers/console.h> +#include <drivers/delay_timer.h> #include <plat/common/platform.h> #include "psci_private.h" +#ifndef PLAT_CORES_PWRDWN_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS +#define PLAT_CORES_PWRDWN_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS 1000 +#endif + +#if IMAGE_BL31 +void psci_stop_other_cores(void) +{ +#define PLAT_CORES_PWRDWN_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS 1000 +#endif + +#if IMAGE_BL31 +void psci_stop_other_cores(void) +{ + int idx, this_cpu_idx, cnt; + + this_cpu_idx = plat_my_core_pos(); + + /* Raise G0 IPI cpustop to all cores but self */ + for (idx = 0; idx < psci_plat_core_count; idx++) { + if ((idx != this_cpu_idx) && + (psci_get_aff_info_state_by_idx(idx) == AFF_STATE_ON)) { + plat_ipi_send_cpu_stop(psci_cpu_pd_nodes[idx].mpidr); + } + } + + /* Wait for others cores to shutdown */ + for (cnt = 0; cnt < PLAT_CORES_PWRDWN_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS; cnt++) { + if (psci_is_last_on_cpu()) + break; + mdelay(1); + } + + if (!psci_is_last_on_cpu()) { + WARN("Failed to stop all cores!\n"); + psci_print_power_domain_map(); + } +} +#endif + (1) RFC: ipi: add ipi feature Ref: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5323/1 Thanks Sandeep

Re: [TF-A] [Hafnium] Fw: Automate generation of Partition's specific configuration

by Joao Alves

Hi Raghu, Thank you very much for your feedback! It seems like a good idea to automate it and the approach looks fine to me. Is my understanding correct that the generated *dtsi* files will need to be included in the *dts* files once and the hope is if there is a change, the dts files need not change since the dtsi files will be regenerated every time during build? Yes, your understanding is correct. The other way this could be done is that the tool can generate dts files which have nodes that change at build time, which can then be compiled and added as dtb files, added to the FIP. That way fvp_tb_fw_config.dts and fvp_spmc_manifest.dts will remain the same and not have any dependency on a changing dtsi file. I’d prefer that dts files that change frequently like in this case be autogenerated entirely and as separate files. That _seems_ cleaner but may not work out so in practice. I agree with you that the approach you described above would make the whole process a bit cleaner. One way this could be done is by passing the *.pre.dts files (generated after the initial processing from dtc) to the script that are part of the patch. Last time I worked on this, I added the possibility to generate the nodes structure to an already existing dts file. Thus, expanding the previous configuration with the values of the new nodes. However, this work needs further testing. Alternatively, the python package I am using in the script can parse and generate dtb instead of dts. I was thinking to add the option to the dts_gen.py script (maybe rename it as well) to operate over the dtb format. So, making sure that "in-place" changes are working , and adding the option to operate over dtb files should allow for the cleaner approach that you referred. As is and making the referred changes, most of the script's logic should be preserved, so I don't think there will be a lot of changes to the current implementation, which is good. Please let me know if I was not very clear, or if you have any other comments. Also thanks @Gyorgy Szing<mailto:Gyorgy.Szing@arm.com> for the feedback on the current state of the patch, I appreciate it. Let me know if anyone has questions, or any other comments to the scripts and/or current discussion. I will notify once the work progresses.

There is no way to automatically generate SP's specific configuration into TF-A's code-base. Considering FVP as the target platform, we need to manually add partition's specific configuration to files "fvp_tb_fw_config.dts" and "fvp_spmc_manifest.dts" (files held in FVP platform specific folder of TF-A codebase). The following snippet shows the hypervisor node from "fvp_spmc_manifest.dts", for the simple case of having in the system two Cactus Secure Partitions: hypervisor { compatible = "hafnium,hafnium"; vm1 { is_ffa_partition; debug_name = "cactus-primary"; load_address = <0x7000000>; }; vm2 { is_ffa_partition; debug_name = "cactus-secondary"; load_address = <0x7100000>; vcpu_count = <2>; mem_size = <1048576>; }; }; Some of the above properties are available in the partition's manifest, for example "debug_name" and "load_address". If changing one of these values in the partition's manifest or adding another SP, we also need to update the referred files. In order to avoid the burden of having to manually update partition's specific configuration and to make whole system more scalable, I started to write a script that is able to generate a specific node structure and fetch any property value from a any dts file. Then, applied it to fetch/generate SPs specific configuration and include it in aforementioned configuration files. Although it is still a Work In Progress, the work can be found in the patch: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5150. The implementation is divided between two scripts: * "dts_gen.py" - This is a generic solution for the problem. It can fetch/generate/alter any configuration using dts files. * "sp_dts_gen.py" - Uses the previous command to solve the specific problem regarding SPs specific configuration. Although is still Work In Progress, I am looking to obtain feedback/reviews from anyone that could be interested in using this implementation. The above files contain a lot of comments on how to use them, and also describing the implementation. If the obtained feedback is good, I can work on integrating this in TF-A's build-system.

Missing properties from cactus dts

by Varun Wadekar

Hello Olivier, Hope you are doing well. As you already know, we are trying to test FF-A, using Cactus, on pre-8.4 Tegra platforms. While doing so, we saw that cactus.dts was missing the following properties 1. maj_ver 2. min_ver 3. spmc_id plat_spm_core_manifest_load() expects these values in the core manifest file. i.e. cactus.dts. What would be the right path forward? Do we add these fields to the dts file? Or modify plat_spmd_manifest.c file? -Varun
