Adding support for Arm FF-A v1.0 (Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A) [A].
FF-A describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication between the Secure World and Normal World. These interfaces enable a pair of software sandboxes to communicate with each other. A sandbox aka partition could be a VM in the Normal or Secure world, an application in S-EL0, or a Trusted OS in S-EL1.
FF-A is a discoverable bus and similar to architecture features. FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed by the PSCI driver.
=> dm tree
Class Index Probed Driver Name ----------------------------------------------------------- ... firmware 0 [ + ] psci |-- psci ffa 0 [ ] arm_ffa | `-- arm_ffa ...
Clients are able to probe then use the FF-A bus by calling the DM class searching APIs (e.g: uclass_get_device_by_name).
This implementation of the specification provides support for Aarch64.
The FF-A driver uses the SMC ABIs defined by the FF-A specification to:
- Discover the presence of secure partitions (SPs) of interest - Access an SP's service through communication protocols e.g. EFI MM communication protocol
The FF-A support provides the following features:
- Being generic by design and can be used by any Arm 64-bit platform - A Uclass driver providing generic FF-A methods and driver operations - An Arm FF-A device driver - FF-A support can be compiled and used without EFI - Support for SMCCCv1.2 x0-x17 registers - Support for SMC32 calling convention - Support for 32-bit and 64-bit FF-A direct messaging - A new command called armffa is provided as an example of how to access the FF-A bus - Support for FF-A MM communication (compatible with EFI boot time) - Enabling FF-A and MM communication in Corstone1000 platform as a use case - A sandbox emulator for Arm FF-A - An FF-A sandbox device driver - Sandbox FF-A test cases
For more details about the FF-A core driver please refer to [B] and refer to [C] for how to use the armffa command.
Please find at [D] an example of the expected boot logs when enabling FF-A support for a platform. In this example the platform is Corstone1000. But it can be any Arm 64-bit platform.
Changelog of the major changes: ===========================
v10:
* provide the FF-A driver operations through the Uclass (arm-ffa-uclass.c) * move the generic FF-A methods to the Uclass * keep Arm specific methods in the Arm driver (arm-ffa.c renamed from core.c) * split the FF-A sandbox support into an emulator (ffa-emul-uclass.c) and a driver (sandbox_ffa.c) * use the FF-A driver Uclass operations by clients (armffa command, tests, MM comms) * use uclass_first_device to search and probe the FF-A device (whether it is on Arm or on sandbox) * address nits
v9: [9]
* integrate the FF-A bus discovery in the DM and use ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES for binding * align FF-A sandbox driver with FF-A discovery through DM * use DM class APIs to probe and interact with the FF-A bus (in FF-A MM comms, armffa command, sandbox tests) * add documentation for the armffa command: doc/usage/cmd/armffa.rst * introduce testcase for uuid_str_to_le_bin
v8: [8]
* pass the FF-A bus device to the bus operations * isolate the compilation choices between FF-A and OP-TEE * drop OP-TEE configs from Corstone-1000 defconfig * make ffa_get_partitions_info() second argument to be an SP count in both modes
v7: [7]
* add support for 32-bit direct messaging (now we have 32-bit and 64-bit support) * set the MM door bell event to use 64-bit direct messaging * issue a compile time error when one of these macros are not found : FFA_SHARED_MM_BUFFER_SIZE, FFA_SHARED_MM_BUFFER_OFFSET, FFA_SHARED_MM_BUFFER_ADDR * make uuid_str_to_le_bin() implementation similar to uuid_str_to_bin() by using same APIs
v6: [6]
* remove clearing x0-x17 registers after SMC calls * drop use of EFI runtime support for FF-A (We decided with Linaro to add this later) * drop discovery from initcalls (discovery will be on demand by FF-A users) * add FF-A runtime discovery at MM communication level * update the documentation and move it to doc/arch/arm64.ffa.rst
v5: [5]
* move changelogs in each commit to the changes section
v4: [4]
* add FF-A support README (doc/README.ffa.drv) * improving error handling by mapping the FF-A errors to standard errors and logs * replacing panics with an error log * align sandbox driver and tests with the new FF-A driver interfaces and new way of error handling * use the new FF-A driver interfaces for MM communication * discover MM partitions at runtime * copy FF-A driver private data to EFI runtime section at ExitBootServices() * moving the FF-A driver work to drivers/firmware/arm-ffa * improving features discovery in FFA_FEATURES * add remove/unbind functions to the FF-A core device * improve how the driver behaves when bus discovery is done more than once * move clearing x0-x17 registers code into a new macro like done in the linux kernel * enable EFI MM communication for the Corstone1000 platform
v3: [3]
* port x0-x17 registers support from linux kernel as defined by SMCCCv1.2 * align the interfaces of the u-boot FF-A driver with those in the linux FF-A driver * remove the FF-A helper layer * make the u-boot FF-A driver independent from EFI * provide an optional config that enables copying the driver data to EFI runtime section at ExitBootServices service * use 64-bit version of FFA_RXTX_MAP, FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_{REQ, RESP} * update armffa command with the new driver interfaces
v2 [2]:
* make FF-A bus discoverable using device_{bind, probe} APIs * remove device tree support
v1 [1]:
* introduce FF-A bus driver with device tree support * introduce armffa command * introduce FF-A Sandbox driver * add FF-A Sandbox test cases * introduce FF-A MM communication
