Sandrine Bailleux 9e86490f8f Define frequency of system counter in platform code 
BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.

All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.

In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.

This patch also updates the relevant documentation.

It properly fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24

ARM Trusted Firmware - version 0.3

ARM Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of secure world software for ARMv8-A, including Exception Level 3 (EL3) software. This release focuses on support for ARM's [Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs)] FVP.

The intent is to provide a reference implementation of various ARM interface standards, such as the Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI), Trusted Board Boot Requirements (TBBR) and [Secure Monitor] TEE-SMC code. As far as possible the code is designed for reuse or porting to other ARMv8-A model and hardware platforms.

This release builds on the previous source code release, which has been available in source and binary form since the [Linaro AArch64 OpenEmbedded 13.11 Engineering Build] AArch64 LEB. These support the Base FVP platform models from ARM.

ARM will continue development in collaboration with interested parties to provide a full reference implementation of PSCI, TBBR and Secure Monitor code to the benefit of all developers working with ARMv8-A TrustZone software.

License

The software is provided under a BSD 3-Clause license. Certain source files are derived from FreeBSD code: the original license is included in these source files.

This Release

This release is an incomplete implementation of the Trusted Firmware. Only limited functionality is provided at present and it has not been optimized or subjected to extended robustness or stress testing.

Functionality

  • Initial implementation of a subset of the Trusted Board Boot Requirements Platform Design Document (PDD). This includes packaging the various firmware images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP) to be loaded from non-volatile storage.

  • Initializes the secure world (for example, exception vectors, control registers, GIC and interrupts for the platform), before transitioning into the normal world.

  • Supports both GICv2 and GICv3 initialization for use by normal world software.

  • Starts the normal world at the highest available Exception Level: EL2 if available, otherwise EL1.

  • Handles SMCs (Secure Monitor Calls) conforming to the [SMC Calling Convention PDD] SMCCC using an EL3 runtime services framework.

  • Handles SMCs relating to the [Power State Coordination Interface PDD] PSCI for the Secondary CPU Boot, CPU hotplug and CPU idle use-cases.

  • A Test Secure-EL1 Payload and Dispatcher to demonstrate Secure Monitor functionality such as world switching and EL1 context management. This also demonstrates Secure-EL1 interaction with PSCI. Some of this functionality is provided in library form for re-use by other Secure-EL1 Payload Dispatchers.

For a full list of updated functionality and implementation details, please see the User Guide. The Change Log provides details of changes made since the last release.

Platforms

This release of the Trusted Firmware has been tested on the following ARM FVPs (64-bit versions only):

  • Foundation_v8 (Version 2.0, Build 0.8.5206)
  • FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A (Version 5.4, Build 0.8.5405)
  • FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x4-A53x4 (Version 5.4, Build 0.8.5405)
  • FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1 (Version 5.4, Build 0.8.5405)

The Foundation FVP can be downloaded free of charge. The Base FVPs can be licensed from ARM: see [www.arm.com/fvp] FVP.

Still to Come

  • Complete implementation of the PSCI specification.

  • Secure memory, Secure interrupts and support for other types of Secure-EL1 Payloads.

  • Booting the firmware from a Virtio block device.

  • Completing the currently experimental GICv3 support.

For a full list of detailed issues in the current code, please see the Change Log and the GitHub issue tracker.
