Adding support for Arm FF-A v1.0 (Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A) [A].
FF-A specifies interfaces that enable a pair of software execution environments aka partitions to communicate with each other. A 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_first_device).
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 - 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 - 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 Uclass driver providing generic FF-A methods. - An Arm FF-A device driver providing Arm-specific methods and reusing the Uclass methods. - A sandbox emulator for Arm FF-A, emulates the FF-A side of the Secure World and provides FF-A ABIs inspection methods. - An FF-A sandbox device driver for FF-A communication with the emulated Secure World. The driver leverages the FF-A Uclass to establish FF-A communication. - Sandbox FF-A test cases. - A new command called armffa is provided as an example of how to access the FF-A bus
For more details about the FF-A support 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 changes: ===========================
v14:
Simon:
* add to log.h a generic physical address formatting
Ilias:
* armffa command: in do_ffa_ping() reject the SP ID if it's 0 * MM comms: drop truncating var_payload->size when using FF-A * MM comms: map the MM SP return codes to errnos * address nits
v13: [13]
Ilias: * remove FF-A and Optee ifdefs in efi_variable_tee.c * doc minor change: specify in the readme that the user should call ffa_rxtx_unmap() driver operation to unmap the RX/TX buffers on demand.
v12: [12]
* remove the global variable (dscvry_info), use uc_priv instead * replace dscvry_info.invoke_ffa_fn() with a weak invoke_ffa_fn (user drivers can override it) * improve FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET implementation (clients no longer need to calloc a buffer) * remove reparenting by making the sandbox emulator parent of the FF-A device in the DT * improve argument checks for the armffa command * address nits
v11: [11]
* move ffa_try_discovery() from the uclass to the Arm FF-A driver * rename ffa_try_discovery() to arm_ffa_discover() * add arm_ prefix to the Arm FF-A driver functions * use U_BOOT_CMD_WITH_SUBCMDS for armffa command * store the sandbox emulator pointer in the FF-A device uc_priv (struct ffa_priv) * set the emulator as parent of the sandbox FF-A device * rename select_ffa_mm_comms() to select_mm_comms() * improve the logic of MM transport selection in mm_communicate() * use ut_asserteq_mem() in uuid_str_to_le_bin test case * address nits
v10: [10]
* 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
