Hi,
Is there a way to get BUILD_STRING (or a similar string / number that
uniquely identifies the TF-A build, e.g., BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP) from
the FIP file?
Basically, I'm trying to find a way to know the build number of a FIP
without flashing it.
I've seen that the FIP TOC header has a 32-bit field named
'serial_number'. Can it be used to this end? I'm considering
converting BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP into an epoch and adding it as
'serial number', but I'm worried that might be an unintended usage of
the 'serial_number' field.
Regards,
Daniele
Hi All,
The next TF-A Tech Forum is scheduled for Thu 11th February 2021 16:00 – 17:00 (GMT).
Agenda:
* TF-A: Open-CI Introduction & Status
* Presented by Joanna Farley with support from Linaro OpenCI Enablement Team
* Having a Public CI (Continuous Integration) extensible system has been a goal for a while and this presentation will give an introduction and a high level overview along with the current status. A brief walk through what CI jobs are available, when they are run and how results can be accessed will be shown/demoed. Deeper dives into the OpenCI results and how to analyse will be the subject of future Tech Forum sessions.
If TF-A contributors have anything they wish to present at any future TF-A tech forum please contact me to have that scheduled.
Previous sessions, both recording and presentation material can be found on the trustedfirmware.org TF-A Technical meeting webpage: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-a-technical-forum/
A scheduling tracking page is also available to help track sessions suggested: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_a/tf-a-tech-forum-scheduling/ Final decisions on what will be presented will be shared a few days before the next meeting on the TF-A mailing list.

All right. Thank you Manish and Olivier for your feedback. You can close this topic. Oliver answered the concern I had regarding implementing a vector table during boot time.

Hi,
Stepping back to the initial thread, I now miss the rationale for routing interrupts to EL3.
"I have successfully implement a Linux driver that allows me to dump kernel page tables and memory; however, I cannot see user page tables (even after running a CPU intensive program ). I believe the only way to view user page tables is to have interrupts routed to EL3 – a Linux driver is not sufficient."
If your intent is to dump user process page tables, that's something to do using the linux kernel mm framework, and not necessarily at EL3. Not sure why a "linux driver is not sufficient". More inputs on this may be beneficial.
Nevertheless if you need a service in EL3 to do "introspection", you would rather write a form of SiP service accessed through SMC (not necessarily routing interrupts through FIQ).
As for the code snippets, replacing vbar_el3 with your own vector table looks wrong.
This will break any service call back into EL3 when linux is booted (e.g. PSCI calls....)
If you really want to route interrupts to EL3 you shall use the Interrupt Handling Framework as Manish suggested.
e.g.
uint64_t fiq_handler(uint32_t id, uint32_t flags, void *handle, void *cookie)
{
[...]
return 0;
}
void register_my_interrupt(void)
{
int32_t rc, flags = 0;
plat_ic_set_interrupt_type(intid, INTR_TYPE_EL3);
set_interrupt_rm_flag(flags, NON_SECURE);
rc = register_interrupt_type_handler(INTR_TYPE_EL3, fiq_handler, flags);
NOTICE("register_interrupt_type_handler %d\n", rc);
}
Regards,
Olivier.

I have seen same thing in your previous thread also, could you please confirm that the build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 instead of GICV2_GO_FOR_EL3 (zero instead of "O").

UPDATE: I managed to get the Pi to complete the boot process, which is a major hurdle I have been trying to overcome.
As for your questions Olivier:
The vector table is loaded during bl31 (its called in the bl31_main.c main() function, right after bl31_platform_setup()). The Pi 4B uses GICv2 (your assumption was correct) and the BCM2711 chip.
Right now both my irq and fiq handlers use: ID = gicv2_get_pending_interrupt_id(); to read the INTID.
Neither handler does anything else other than print the ID, which returns 1023 for fiq only, using HS_DEBUG(). Nothing returns for irq.
Build options are: PLAT=rpi4 DEBUG=1 LOG_LEVEL=50 RUNTIME_UART=2 GICV2_GO_FOR_EL3=1
Wasn’t trying to route the UART RX interrupt to EL3, though that’s not a bad idea (FIFO, right?) . However, I have been exploring the idea of generating an ARM timer interrupt (not system timer), but I couldn’t get past the boot issue, which seems to have now been resolved.
Questions: Do you see any reason why loading the vector table during the boot process will prevent interrupts from being routed to EL3 correctly? If you do not, then I think I can take it from here.

Hi Ian,
I guess we'll need a bit more details in order to help you.
Which platform are you using? which GIC version is it using (looks like GICv2?) ?
How did you built TF-A for this platform (command line arguments)?
What is executing on your platform (e.g. linux in the non-secure world)? Is there any component in the SWd (apart from EL3 monitor) like a TEE?
Are you trying to route the UART RX interrupt to EL3?
Is this UART instance only owned by the SWd?
How did you setup the interrupt handler?
Which function are you using to read the INTID?
