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

Maintainer for Marvell platforms

by Manish Pandey2

Hi, We do not have active maintainer for Marvell platform. As per docs/about/maintainers.rst the current maintainer is "Konstantin Porotchkin <kostap(a)marvell.com>". Is anybody willing to take ownership of the platform, preferably people who have contributed to this platform in past. Thanks Manish

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
