MISRA-C Violations for function like macros in Trusted Firmware-A(TFA) code

by nithing1999＠gmail.com

It is observed that functions like macros like NOTICE, WARN and assert are present in the Trusted Firmware-A code. MISRA-C standard treats these as violations. shall we take these as deviation? please suggest. TFA Guidelines recommends using logging macros. So can we make deviations or need to change the MACRO into function.

MISRA-C violation for Device Tree (FDT) in Trusted Firmware-A (TFA) code.

by Nithin G

Hello, It is observed that device tree functions are present under lib/libfdt/... in Trusted Firmware-A code, but this device tree are not present in symbol table and also if we remove this device tree functions in code, board was successfully booting. However, while doing Coverity build to fix MISRA-C violations getting violations from this device tree code. So, is it possible to leave those violations please suggest? And when it will be enabled, please suggest. Thanks & Regards Nithin G

Question about Secondary CPU boot with spintable

by 빈성욱

Hi I ported TF-A and OPTEE on multi-core SoC, and I checked that xtest passed on CPU0 without failure. However, I'm failing in secondary CPU boot, and I'd like to get some help. I'm using ARMv8, and I'm using spintable as CPU enable method (not using PSCI FW). TF-A is in EL3. What I did ... 1. I released secondary CPU reset from bl31_early_platform_setup2() during primary CPU cold booting - set secondary CPU's RVBAR to bl31_entrypoint - release secondary CPU reset 2. I implemeneted plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(), which is spining until linux kernel updates cpu-release-addr. Once linux kernel updates cpu-release-addr, then it changes EL to EL1 and jumps to secondary_startup() in linux 3. But secondary core goes to panic. It seems to happen when linux invokes optee_probe() Should I initialize some contexts (e.g. optee ..)? If so, where should I implement the corresponding codes? I'm wondering if I'm missing something, and I'd like to get some advice Thanks, --Bin

About erratum in TF-A

by Ming Huang

Hi Boyan, Some questions about erratum in TF-A: 1 Why workaround's flag is 0? In my mind, all flag should be 1 because there is func to check cpu revisions, such as check_errata_2326639. 43438ad1a patch: +ERRATA_N2_2326639 ?=0 2 After e444763d6(shorten errata flag defines) patch, introduce CPU_FLAG_LIST, Is the workaround's flag change to 1? e444763d6 patch: -ERRATA_N2_2326639 ?=0 +CPU_FLAG_LIST += ERRATA_N2_2326639 Regards, Ming
