Firmware-A v2.12 release code freeze notification

by Govindraj Raja

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.12 has an expected code freeze date of Nov, 8th 2024. Refer to the release cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-informatio…). Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze. v2.12 release preparation tasks start from now. 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 labels 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, Govindraj R

When SPM-MM is enabled, I cannot use the TRNG SMC services. /* These macros are used to identify SPM-MM calls using the SMC function ID */ #define SPM_MM_FID_MASK U(0xffff) #define SPM_MM_FID_MIN_VALUE U(0x40) #define SPM_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE U(0x7f) #define is_spm_mm_fid(_fid) \ ((((_fid) & SPM_MM_FID_MASK) >= SPM_MM_FID_MIN_VALUE) && \ (((_fid) & SPM_MM_FID_MASK) <= SPM_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE)) Here, the SPM-MM SMC ID range spans from 0x40 to 0x7F, which overlaps with the TRNG SMC service IDs: /* SMC function IDs for TRNG queries */ #define ARM_TRNG_VERSION U(0x84000050) #define ARM_TRNG_FEATURES U(0x84000051) #define ARM_TRNG_GET_UUID U(0x84000052) #define ARM_TRNG_RND32 U(0x84000053) #define ARM_TRNG_RND64 U(0xC4000053) Could you please clarify the rationale behind including the TRNG SMC IDs within the SPM-MM ID range? If this overlap was unintentional, we have to fix it. Looking forward to your insights and feedback on this matter. Thanks Suresh

Marvell a3700 build failure after toolchain update

by Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand

Hi All, During the TF-A CI upgrade from Arm GNU Toolchain version 14.2.Rel1 to 14.3.Rel1 [1], the Marvell A3700 platform build began failing. Since TF-A does not include the WTMI sources and there has been no response from the Marvell maintainers, the platform has been temporarily removed from the CI [2]. We will restore it once the fix lands in the Marvell upstream and links cleanly with 14.3/binutils 2.44. The sections below outline the CI environment, build configuration, and error details for reference. * Test config tf-l1-build-plat/a3700-default:nil * * CI Test Environment Host: Ubuntu 22.04 (Docker) Toolchains: aarch64-none-elf: Arm GNU 14.3.Rel1 arm-none-eabi (CM3/WTMI): Arm GNU 14.3.Rel1 (fails); passes with 14.2.Rel1 * Representative build params: make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- CROSS_CM3=arm-none-eabi- PLAT=a3700 BL33=/dev/null CM3_SYSTEM_RESET=1 A3720_DB_PM_WAKEUP_SRC=1 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 DDR_TOPOLOGY=5 DEBUG=1 V=1 * Build Failure: (*ABS*0x1fff0000): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in main.o (.text.startup+0x2a): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation /home/../.../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: warning: build/sys_init.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions /home/../.../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: (*ABS*0x1fff0000): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in main.o main.o: in function `main': .../A3700-utils-marvell/wtmi/sys_init/main.c:350:(.text.startup+0x2a): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Root Cause On Cortex-M (Thumb-only), calls/jumps to absolute addresses must have bit0 = 1 to indicate Thumb state. Older binutils tolerated raw addresses like 0x1FFF0000; binutils 2.44 now errors if the destination state is unknown (no stub is inserted). Requested fix (in WTMI sources) Please update any absolute branch/call targets to be explicitly Thumb (LSB=1), or define a Thumb symbol and call that. Acceptance criteria: WTMI links cleanly with arm-none-eabi 14.3.Rel1 (binutils 2.44) with no: * Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) * dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation [1] https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads [2] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/ci/tf-a-ci-scripts/+/44444/5 Thanks & regards, Jayanth

Deprecating SPM-MM

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, In light of coming TF-A v2.14 in November, we would like to mark the SPM-MM implementation [1] as deprecated. Our understanding is that it's not longer very actively used at least from an upstream perspective, while most SPM sw architecures have adopted/migrated to the FF-A standard [2] [3]. The intent would be to remove this implementation completely from next release in May 26 onwards. This would remove the maintenance burden for 3 orthogonal options, reducing to the 2 FF-A compliant implementations. Simplification also comes to the testing side and CI. The SPM-MM implementation would continue to be supported in LTS branches maintained for 7 years. Let us know if this causes major concerns. Thanks, Regards, Olivier.

Firmware-A v2.13 release code freeze notification

by Olivier Deprez

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.13 has an expected code freeze date of May, 2nd 2025. In order to accommodate the Linaro connect event occurring during the week of May 12th we may extend the release completion date up until the week of May 26th. v2.13 release preparation tasks start from now. 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 labels 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. Regards, Olivier.

Rethrow SEA from EL3 to lower EL on arm64

by Venkata Pokkuluri

In Firmware First Handling (FFH), all external aborts are trapped to EL3, they can be notified to OS/VM using SDEI or by reinjecting SEA. SDEI is imprecise exception and asynchronous. GHES driver defines SEA as the only synchronous mechanism ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c#L118), hence SEA reinjection is useful for SEA's where OS/VM takes appropriate action. For example when an user space application running at EL0 consumes a poisoned memory by re-throwing SEA the kernel can terminate the individual application. For SEA Reinjection we need to figure out the right EL to reinject the SEA to and then copy ESR_EL3, SPSR_EL3, ELR_EL3 and FAR_EL3 to target ELs respective registers and calculate new PSTATE for EL3. To find target_el reference code is provided in SyncExternalAbortTarget (J1.3.2.7) in ARM DDI 0487L.a.
