Last call (for review) before merging linker script changes

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi all, I'm going to merge the following changes to common linker scripts to support dual-cpu platforms by the end of this week. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-linker-script%2… Those changes mainly focus on making it easier and more comfortable to configure Armv6-M/Armv7-M MPU on a dual-cpu platform. As the changes touch the common linker scripts, I'm sorry if it affects your tasks in hand. Please let me know if the merging concerns you or breaks any urgent task. Thank you. Best regards, Hu Ziji

Re: [TF-M] extending common linker command file template

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi Alan, Currently the only way to have custom content in the platform linker config files is to create a platform specific template in the platform directory, and refer to that in the platform CMake file instead of the common one. Although this might not be the best solution, as keeping the platform specific files up to date with the common linker config files can be an extra work. Did you have any specific solution in mind that could handle this situation? Thanks, Mate -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of DeMars, Alan via TF-M Sent: 01 November 2019 14:17 To: 'tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org' <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] extending common linker command file template We've had to add two memory regions and section placements to the "tfm_common_s.ld.template". Rather than polluting this "common" template, is there a way to extend the functionality so that platform-specific content can be included in the generated linker command file?

Re: [TF-M] irqs "source" field

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Alan, I think the "source" combines the usage of "number" and "name" since a tooling is needed eventually and tool can decide the assigned value is a number or name. Something like: /* Init Secure Partition - here is the pseudo code and does not exist in real sources */ p_irq_ctx = get_interrupt_ctx_by_source (p_manifest->source); /* Tool has converted the number or name into specified source index type */ init_interrupt(p_irq_ctx, THIS_SP); /* SP-IRQ binding is needed */ The 'source' here is just a keyword for tool searching in the platform resource descriptions and be converted into a program recognizable index so that runtime code could know the interrupt context and do something. The irq_number you proposed is direct which is good; but for the name, if we need to do extra operations instead of just know where the handler is, a looking up is still needed based on the irq name provided. That is just my opinion, you can try the email in FF spec for collecting feedbacks: arm.psa-feedback(a)arm.com BR /Ken -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of DeMars, Alan via TF-M Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2019 2:38 AM To: 'tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org' <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] irqs "source" field I think the PSA FF current definition of the "irqs" "source" attribute is needlessly opaque, confusing, and limiting.

It can be either a literal number or a manifest constant. "irq_name" is the symbolic name of the ISR as it appears in the user's vector table.

Re: [TF-M] Change dual-core patch topic name "twincpu" to "dualcpu"

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Reed, Thanks for the input. We name the dual-core/multi-core feature control option flag as `TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY` for a general model. But as Chris said, it would require additional work to design and support more complicated scenarios. Thus for the current particular patches for dual-core platform, I'd like to specify the topic a little as "dualcpu".

Re: [TF-M] out of tree build

Trying again after renaming tfm_parse_manifest_list.py to tfm_parse_manifest_list.txt so it wouldn't get deleted. --- With the attached modified secure_fw/CMakeLists.txt and tools/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py files, I am able to redirect the generated files using the following command line: python3 <full_path_to_your>/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py <full_path_to_your>/tfm_manifest_list.yaml <full_path_to_your>/tfm_generated_file_list.yaml <full_path_to_your>/<build_dir> And then build the ConfigCoreIPC artifacts within <your_build_dir> using the following cmake line: cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DPROJ_CONFIG=`readlink -f ../configs/ConfigCoreIPC.cmake` -DREMOTE_GEN_DIR=<full_path_to_your><build_dir> -DTARGET_PLATFORM=AN521 -DCOMPILER=GNUARM ../ The changes to tfm_parse_manifest_list.py are backward compatible with the standard usage.

A corresponding change to our platform's platform/ext/xyz.cmake file was also required to add the path to the root of the build directory to the embedded_include_directories() list as well as the paths to the generated linker command files. I was not planning to provide these changes as a patch for review as I am very unsure of the applicability of this to other platforms. Also, I was fairly certain that given my very poor understanding of the CMake build system, my approach to the problem was not utilizing features present in CMake that would make the job simpler and more extensible. Since the topic came up at the conference and you already seemed willing to address the out-of-tree build problem that the templates lead to, I assumed you folks would find a simple and elegant solution that would save me the embarrassment of exposing my lack of CMake expertise.
