regarding AS and AR values with clang compiler

by Nagal, Amit

Hi , We are trying to build the TF-A code using clang compiler . Instructions are followed as per the conf page https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/initial-… 1. export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-none-elf- 2. make CC=<path-to-armclang>/bin/armclang PLAT=<platform> all in our side , make CC=/tools/installs/arm/safety/armcc/6.6.2/bin/armclang PLAT=zynqmp distclean 3. with steps 1) and 2) , we observe the value of AS and AR getting set as below: AS = /tools/installs/arm/safety/armcc/6.6.2/bin/armclang -c -x assembler-with-cpp -target aarch64-arm-none-eabi -march=armv8-a AR = <path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ar 4. However in /tools/installs/arm/safety/armcc/6.6.2/bin , clang tool specific AS points to armasm and AR points to armar utility. 5. From above output in point 4 , we can see that AS and AR does not refer to clang toolchain utilities armasm and armar. From point 3) , AS still points to armclang utility only instead of armasm , while AR still points to aarch64-linux-gnu-ar instead of armar . 6. Can we be guided if the above outputs are correct to use wrt TF-A code build using clang compiler ? And whether any modifications can be done to point AS and AR to clang toolchain specific utilities as mentioned in step 4. Regards Amit

Make TF-A (bl31) (El3 firmware) preemtible

by Kamlesh Gurudasani

Clock and power management in ATF, preemption issue. I have seen that multiple Vendors are using arm scmi protocol to do clock management in bl31[0][1]. The problem with such implementations is any long running SCMI operations (like PLL locking for example) will hold the core in EL3 for extended period of time, adding to latency of NS EL1 interrupt handling as ATF is not preemptible. This problem can be solved by making ATF preemptible, similar to how OP-TEE does it by by implementing a remote procedural call after it receives a interrupt. [2]How Linux does SMC call with YIELD flag enabled. [3]How OP-TEE handles the timer interrupt [4]How Linux receives an interrupt which came in EL3->SEL1 As quoted in exception Handling document in ATF docs[5] "Receive exceptions, but handle part of the exception in EL3, and delegate processing of the error to dedicated software stack running at lower secure ELs (as above); additionally, the Normal world may also be required to participate in the handling, or be notified of such events (for example, as an event). In this scheme, exception handling potentially and maximally spans all ELs in both Secure and Normal worlds." From this we can understand that we can delegate the exception to EL1 if we are already in EL3. (way to preempt) We are aware that ARM v8.4-A onwards arch are having a SEL2 level with which we can run a vendor specific firmware parallel to TEE at SEL1 in a secure partition. But how we do handle clock and power management for version which doesn't support SEL2? We don't want to put it in TEE as it will constraint our devices to that specific TEE. I am starting to work on a proposal to make ATF preemptible similar to how OP-TEE is doing it. a)Will the similar approach from OP-TEE if implemented and working be accepted by ATF upstream? The SMC call with YIELD option will only be preemtible so will not affect the normal flow. b)As quoted in Trusted Firmware-A Document[6] Page 94, "Yielding calls are reserved exclusively for Trusted OS providers" "Yielding 0- 1 Reserved for existing Armv7-A calls Yielding 2-63 Trusted OS Standard Calls" Can this range be consumed within ATF/bl31 firmware or is it necessary to forward all yielding calls to Trusted OS?

documentation - secure interrupt handling in EL3 for arm gic v2

by Nagal, Amit

Hi , There is a contradiction present in TF-A documentation whether secure interrupts can be handled in EL3 for arm gic v2 case . 1. Referring https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/design/interrupt-framewo… It says secure interrupts can't be handled in EL3 . Refer statement : "In Arm GICv2, all secure interrupts are assumed to be handled in Secure-EL1. They can be delivered to Secure-EL1 via EL3 but they cannot be handled in EL3." 2. Referring https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/platform-inte… It says secure interrupts can be handled in EL3 , When GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is 1 . Refer below statements : For interrupt type INTR_TYPE_EL3: When GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is 0, it returns false, indicating no support for EL3 interrupts. When GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is 1, it returns true, indicating support for EL3 interrupts. can this be clarified ? Regards Amit

Firmware-A v2.10 release code freeze notification

by Olivier Deprez

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.10 has an expected code freeze date of Nov, 7th 2023. Refer to the Release Cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/tree/docs/about…). Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze. Preparations tasks for v2.10 release should start in coming month. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind recommendation and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: -For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). -For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 in the middle of the patch stack). -Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. -If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued. Thanks & Regards, Olivier.

FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT - FIEN bit

by Nagal, Amit

Hi, Referring https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/getti… it says : ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault injection from lower Els. Referring https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/lib/el3_ru… FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT enables FIEN bit. #if FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT /* Enable fault injection from lower ELs */ scr_el3 |= SCR_FIEN_BIT; #endif Question : 1. Do we have any relevant documentation from arm which specifies FIEN bit can be enabled from armv8.4 ? 2. In cortex a-53 technical reference manual, SCR_EL3 does not have FIEN bit , bit 21 is marked reserved . In cortex a-78 technical reference manual , manual does not have details for SCR_EL3 . I want to know whether on Armv8.2-a based cores like cortex a-78 , is the FIEN bit field marked reserved in SCR_EL3 register or is available functionality wise as in armv8.4 ? Please help with above query. Regards Amit

Need a mechanism to easily define platform-independent SMC FIDs

by Julius Werner

Hi, I would like to restart a discussion that we already had a few years ago on a thread called "SMC to intentionally trigger a panic in TF-A" (https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/search?mlist=tf-a%40lists.truste…) but that petered out without any real resolution (and resulted in me ultimately not implementing the feature I was hoping to add). Basically, we are repeatedly stumbling over the problem that we have a use case for some platform-independent SMC API that we want to implement in TF-A, but don't have an appropriate SMC FID range to put it. My request from a few years ago was about implementing a call to intentionally trigger a panic in TF-A for test-automation purposes. Today we came up with a use case where a Trusted OS wants to query BL31 about the location of a shared log buffer: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/20478 . Currently, the available SMC ranges are Arm, CPU, SiP, OEM, Standard, Hypervisor, TA and TOS. The SiP, OEM and TOS ranges are all specific to a single silicon vendor, OEM or trusted OS implementation, so they are not good targets to implement APIs that would make sense to be shared among multiple of these. In theory, the Standard range would probably be the right target to implement calls that are independently useful for multiple platforms / OSes... but as far as I understand, adding a new call to that range requires petitioning Arm to update the SMC calling convention itself, which is a ridiculously high bar to implement a small utility API. In practice, the only choice we have for implementing these kinds of calls is to let every OEM, SiP or TOS assign its own (different) FID for it and then write separate SMC handlers for each in TF-A that all end up calling the same underlying function... which creates a lot of unnecessary code duplication and identifier soup (especially in the case of SMCs for the non-secure OS which would then be implemented by a platform-independent Linux driver that needs a big mapping table to decide which FID to use on which platform for the same API). I think it would be very useful if there was another range of easily allocatable FIDs that developers could just add to with a simple TF-A CL without having to go through a huge specification update process. There are still 41 OENs unused in the Arm SMCCC, and I don't think any new ones were added in the 10 years that the specification existed... so we are really not going to run out of them any time soon. If we could get even one of those OENs for this purpose, we would have 64K FIDs to use up for our small, simple platform-independent API needs, which should last us a long while. We could maybe call it the "Secure Monitor range" and say the FIDs are specific to a certain implementation of Secure Monitor (e.g. TF-A). Then there could just be a header file in the TF-A sources that serves as the authoritative FID assignment table for TF-A, and anyone with a sufficiently useful idea (subject to TF-A maintainer review) for a platform-independent API like this could add it there by just uploading a patch. I recently argued for a similar "simple tag allocation" concept on https://github.com/FirmwareHandoff/firmware_handoff and it found support there, so I hope I'll be able to convince you that it would be useful for SMC FIDs as well?

About unmaintained files

by Yann Gautier

Hello, Recently I wondered who was the Code-Owner of the files in this patch: fix(pmu): fix breakage on ARMv7 CPUs with SP_min as BL32 (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/27162) By the way it still doesn't have the Code-Owner review vote ;-) But that triggered a more generic question about files and directories in docs/about/maintainers.rst: are all the paths listed here reflect all the files in TF-A repository? The answer is unfortunately no. I've then ended up writing some shell commands to try to list unmaintained files: for p in $(grep ^':|F|' docs/about/maintainers.rst | cut -d" " -f2 | grep ^[a-zA-Z] | grep -v "drivers/nuvoton" | sed "s;\\\;;g"); do find $p -type f >> /tmp/find_tf-a_maintained_files.txt; done; sort -u -o /tmp/find_tf-a_maintained_files.txt{,}; git ls-files | sort -u > /tmp/tf-a_files.txt; diff /tmp/find_tf-a_maintained_files.txt /tmp/tf-a_files.txt > /tmp/tf-a_unmaintained_files.txt Some are easy to correct, e.g. some docs/plat/<platform> files should be added to the list of files for a given <platform>. Or some include/drivers paths missing. I may push some patches for this if I can. The drivers/nuvoton path is listed but it doesn't exist. Some platforms or drivers are completely missing, and that would be good their maintainers add a chapter for them. But some generic & core files are also not listed. The goal of this mail is to open the discussion about that. That could be tricky as maintainer may change. But all of that would ease the contributors way of working. I've also seen that gerrit automatically adds Code-Owner for the review. So it seems there is another list for that, and we could somehow try to align those 2 lists. Best regards, Yann

Build failure under yocto

by Ryan Eatmon

We do nightly testing of our yocto layers against the latest kernel, uboot, trusted-firmware-a, and optee. On April 12th we started getting a build failure with trusted-firmware-a. I have tracked the issue down to this commit: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/commit/71c42e98bbe900a… Specifically, the line in make_helpers/utilities.mk: escape-shell = '$(subst ','\'',$(1))' On the surface it feels like the ' is overused and might cause issues. I tried making the line: escape-shell = $(subst ','\'',$(1)) And the builds went back to working properly. Does that seem like a change that should be made, or was there a reason for the extra '' wrapper? I have submitted a GitHub issue about this as well: https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-A/trusted-firmware-a/issues/7 -- Ryan Eatmon reatmon(a)ti.com ----------------------------------------- Texas Instruments, Inc. - LCPD - MGTS

gicv2.h vs gicv3.h conflict

by Jacob Kroon

Hi, I'm upgrading the ATF I use from 2.4 to 2.8, and ran into a header conflict. The change https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/13806 introduced an inclusion of include/drivers/arm/gicv3.h in lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c, but in my build environment that .c file also includes include/drivers/arm/gicv2.h so now I get macro redefinition of "INT_ID_MASK" errors when compiling. Is it an error, that in my build environment the gicv2.h gets included ? I've solved it locally by doing: diff --git a/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c b/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c index 866ac4154..395635a86 100644 --- a/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c +++ b/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c @@ -18,7 +18,9 @@ #include <common/bl_common.h> #include <common/debug.h> #include <context.h> +#if CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS #include <drivers/arm/gicv3.h> +#endif #include <lib/el3_runtime/context_mgmt.h> #include <lib/el3_runtime/pubsub_events.h> #include <lib/extensions/amu.h> but I am not sure whether this is the correct fix or not, or if I am doing something else wrong here. Any suggestions on what would be the correct fix ? Regards Jacob
