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.
The FF-A transport is implemented as a data bus and a core driver is provided.
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
- The FF-A core driver
- The FF-A bus is discoverable on demand at runtime
- The driver provides driver operations to be used by clients to access the FF-A bus
- FF-A driver 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
- An FF-A Sandbox driver is provided with test cases
- Support for FF-A MM communication (compatible with EFI boot time)
- Enabling FF-A and MM communication in Corstone1000 platform as a use case
For more details about the FF-A core driver please refer to [B].
Please find at [C] 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:
===========================
v8:
* 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
Cheers,
