Chris Kay c503b42c09 docs(changelog): fix version tag links 
The Standard Version tool will not recognize a release header as a
release header without the minor version, and will overwrite them when
generating the next release changelog.

Additionally, it will not generate a link to the tag diff unless a tag
of the form `vX.Y.Z` exists. We ought to generate tags with this version
format in the future to ensure the diff links are generated.

# Change Log & Release Notes
This document contains a summary of the new features, changes, fixes and known
issues in each release of Trusted Firmware-A.
## [2.6.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v2.5..refs/tags/v2.6) (2021-11-22)
### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
- **Architecture**
- **Activity Monitors Extension (FEAT_AMU)**
- The public AMU API has been reduced to enablement only
to facilitate refactoring work. These APIs were not previously used.
**See:** privatize unused AMU APIs ([b4b726e](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/b4b726ea868359cf683c07337b69fe91a2a6929a))
- The `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK` platform definition
has been removed. Platforms should specify per-core AMU counter masks
via FCONF or a platform-specific mechanism going forward.
**See:** remove `PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK` ([6c8dda1](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/6c8dda19e5f484f8544365fd71d965f0afc39244))
- **Libraries**
- **FCONF**
- FCONF is no longer added to BL1 and BL2 automatically
when the FCONF Makefile (`fconf.mk`) is included. When including this
Makefile, consider whether you need to add `${FCONF_SOURCES}` and
`${FCONF_DYN_SOURCES}` to `BL1_SOURCES` and `BL2_SOURCES`.
**See:** clean up source collection ([e04da4c](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/e04da4c8e132f43218f18ad3b41479ca54bb9263))
- **Drivers**
- **Arm**
- **Ethos-N**
- multi-device support
**See:** multi-device support ([1c65989](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/1c65989e70c9734defc666e824628620b2060b92))

## [2.1.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v2.0..refs/tags/v2.1) (2019-03-29)
### New Features
- Architecture
- Support for ARMv8.3 pointer authentication in the normal and secure worlds
The use of pointer authentication in the normal world is enabled whenever
architectural support is available, without the need for additional build
flags.
Use of pointer authentication in the secure world remains an experimental
configuration at this time. Using both the `ENABLE_PAUTH` and
`CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS` build flags, pointer authentication can be enabled
in EL3 and S-EL1/0.
See the {ref}`Firmware Design` document for additional details on the use of
pointer authentication.
- Enable Data Independent Timing (DIT) in EL3, where supported
- Build System
- Support for BL-specific build flags
- Support setting compiler target architecture based on `ARM_ARCH_MINOR` build
option.
- New `RECLAIM_INIT_CODE` build flag:
A significant amount of the code used for the initialization of BL31 is not
needed again after boot time. In order to reduce the runtime memory
footprint, the memory used for this code can be reclaimed after
initialization.
Certain boot-time functions were marked with the `__init` attribute to
enable this reclamation.

- Secure Partition Manager
- New SPM implementation based on SPCI Alpha 1 draft specification
A new version of SPM has been implemented, based on the SPCI (Secure
Partition Client Interface) and SPRT (Secure Partition Runtime) draft
specifications.
The new implementation is a prototype that is expected to undergo intensive
rework as the specifications change. It has basic support for multiple
Secure Partitions and Resource Descriptions.
The older version of SPM, based on MM (ARM Management Mode Interface
Specification), is still present in the codebase. A new build flag, `SPM_MM`
has been added to allow selection of the desired implementation. This flag
defaults to 1, selecting the MM-based implementation.
- Security
- Spectre Variant-1 mitigations (`CVE-2017-5753`)
- Use Speculation Store Bypass Safe (SSBS) functionality where available
Provides mitigation against `CVE-2018-19440` (Not saving x0 to x3 registers
can leak information from one Normal World SMC client to another)
### Changed
- Build System
- Warning levels are now selectable with `W=<1,2,3>`
- Removed unneeded include paths in PLAT_INCLUDES
- "Warnings as errors" (Werror) can be disabled using `E=0`
- Support totally quiet output with `-s` flag
- Support passing options to checkpatch using `CHECKPATCH_OPTS=<opts>`
- Invoke host compiler with `HOSTCC / HOSTCCFLAGS` instead of `CC / CFLAGS`

- Creating separate `CPPFLAGS` for DT preprocessing so that compiler options
specific to it can be accommodated.
- Replacing `CPP` with `PP` for DT pre-processing
- CPU Support
- Errata report function definition is now mandatory for CPU support files
CPU operation files must now define a `<name>_errata_report` function to
print errata status. This is no longer a weak reference.
- Documentation
- Migrated some content from GitHub wiki to `docs/` directory
- Security advisories now have CVE links
- Updated copyright guidelines
- Drivers
- console: The `MULTI_CONSOLE_API` framework has been rewritten in C
- console: Ported multi-console driver to AArch32
- gic: Remove 'lowest priority' constants
Removed `GIC_LOWEST_SEC_PRIORITY` and `GIC_LOWEST_NS_PRIORITY`. Platforms
should define these if required, or instead determine the correct priority
values at runtime.
- delay_timer: Check that the Generic Timer extension is present
- mmc: Increase command reply timeout to 10 milliseconds
- mmc: Poll eMMC device status to ensure `EXT_CSD` command completion
- mmc: Correctly check return code from `mmc_fill_device_info`
- External Libraries
- libfdt: Upgraded from 1.4.2 to 1.4.6-9
>
- mbed TLS: Upgraded from 2.12 to 2.16
>
This change incorporates fixes for security issues that should be reviewed to
determine if they are relevant for software implementations using Trusted
Firmware-A. See the [mbed TLS releases] page for details on changes from the
2.12 to the 2.16 release.
- Library Code
- compiler-rt: Updated `lshrdi3.c` and `int_lib.h` with changes from LLVM
master branch (r345645)
- cpu: Updated macro that checks need for `CVE-2017-5715` mitigation
- libc: Made setjmp and longjmp C standard compliant
- libc: Allowed overriding the default libc (use `OVERRIDE_LIBC`)
- libc: Moved setjmp and longjmp to the `libc/` directory
- Platforms
- Removed Mbed TLS dependency from plat_bl_common.c
- arm: Removed unused `ARM_MAP_BL_ROMLIB` macro
- arm: Removed `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM` feature and build flag
- arm: Moved several components into `drivers/` directory
This affects the SDS, SCP, SCPI, MHU and SCMI components
- arm/juno: Increased maximum BL2 image size to `0xF000`
This change was required to accommodate a larger `libfdt` library
- SCMI
- Optimized bakery locks when hardware-assisted coherency is enabled using the
`HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY` build flag
- SDEI
- Added support for unconditionally resuming secure world execution after {{
SDEI }} event processing completes
{{ SDEI }} interrupts, although targeting EL3, occur on behalf of the
non-secure world, and may have higher priority than secure world interrupts.
Therefore they might preempt secure execution and yield execution to the
non-secure {{ SDEI }} handler. Upon completion of {{ SDEI }} event handling,
resume secure execution if it was preempted.
- Translation Tables (XLAT)
- Dynamically detect need for `Common not Private (TTBRn_ELx.CnP)` bit
Properly handle the case where `ARMv8.2-TTCNP` is implemented in a CPU that
does not implement all mandatory v8.2 features (and so must claim to
implement a lower architecture version).
### Resolved Issues
- Architecture
- Incorrect check for SSBS feature detection
- Unintentional register clobber in AArch32 reset_handler function
- Build System
- Dependency issue during DTB image build
- Incorrect variable expansion in Arm platform makefiles
- Building on Windows with verbose mode (`V=1`) enabled is broken
- AArch32 compilation flags is missing `$(march32-directive)`
- BL-Specific Issues
- bl2: `uintptr_t is not defined` error when `BL2_IN_XIP_MEM` is defined
- bl2: Missing prototype warning in `bl2_arch_setup`
- bl31: Omission of Global Offset Table (GOT) section
- Code Quality Issues
- Multiple MISRA compliance issues
- Potential NULL pointer dereference (Coverity-detected)
- Drivers
- mmc: Local declaration of `scr` variable causes a cache issue when
invalidating after the read DMA transfer completes
- mmc: `ACMD41` does not send voltage information during initialization,
resulting in the command being treated as a query. This prevents the command
from initializing the controller.
- mmc: When checking device state using `mmc_device_state()` there are no
retries attempted in the event of an error
- ccn: Incorrect Region ID calculation for RN-I nodes
- console: `Fix MULTI_CONSOLE_API` when used as a crash console
- partition: Improper NULL checking in gpt.c
- partition: Compilation failure in `VERBOSE` mode (`V=1`)
- Library Code
- common: Incorrect check for Address Authentication support
- xlat: Fix XLAT_V1 / XLAT_V2 incompatibility
The file `arm_xlat_tables.h` has been renamed to `xlat_tables_compat.h` and
has been moved to a common folder. This header can be used to guarantee
compatibility, as it includes the correct header based on
`XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V2`.
- xlat: armclang unused-function warning on `xlat_clean_dcache_range`
- xlat: Invalid `mm_cursor` checks in `mmap_add` and `mmap_add_ctx`
- sdei: Missing `context.h` header
- Platforms
- common: Missing prototype warning for `plat_log_get_prefix`
- arm: Insufficient maximum BL33 image size
- arm: Potential memory corruption during BL2-BL31 transition
On Arm platforms, the BL2 memory can be overlaid by BL31/BL32. The memory
descriptors describing the list of executable images are created in BL2 R/W
memory, which could be possibly corrupted later on by BL31/BL32 due to
overlay. This patch creates a reserved location in SRAM for these
descriptors and are copied over by BL2 before handing over to next BL image.
- juno: Invalid behaviour when `CSS_USE_SCMI_SDS_DRIVER` is not set
In `juno_pm.c` the `css_scmi_override_pm_ops` function was used regardless
of whether the build flag was set. The original behaviour has been restored
in the case where the build flag is not set.

## [1.6.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.5..refs/tags/v1.6) (2018-09-21)
### New Features
- Addressing Speculation Security Vulnerabilities
- Implement static workaround for CVE-2018-3639 for AArch32 and AArch64
- Add support for dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639
- Implement dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 on Cortex-A76
- Ensure {{ SDEI }} handler executes with CVE-2018-3639 mitigation enabled
- Introduce RAS handling on AArch64
- Some RAS extensions are mandatory for Armv8.2 CPUs, with others mandatory
for Armv8.4 CPUs however, all extensions are also optional extensions to the
base Armv8.0 architecture.
- The Armv8 RAS Extensions introduced Standard Error Records which are a set
of standard registers to configure RAS node policy and allow RAS Nodes to
record and expose error information for error handling agents.
- Capabilities are provided to support RAS Node enumeration and iteration
along with individual interrupt registrations and fault injections support.
- Introduce handlers for Uncontainable errors, Double Faults and EL3 External
Aborts
- Enable Memory Partitioning And Monitoring (MPAM) for lower EL's
- Memory Partitioning And Monitoring is an Armv8.4 feature that enables
various memory system components and resources to define partitions.
Software running at various ELs can then assign themselves to the desired
partition to control their performance aspects.
- When ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS is set to 1, EL3 allows lower ELs to access
their own MPAM registers without trapping to EL3. This patch however,
doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3; platform initialisation code should
configure and use partitions in EL3 if required.
- Introduce ROM Lib Feature
- Support combining several libraries into a self-called "romlib" image, that
may be shared across images to reduce memory footprint. The romlib image is
stored in ROM but is accessed through a jump-table that may be stored in
read-write memory, allowing for the library code to be patched.
- Introduce Backtrace Feature
- This function displays the backtrace, the current EL and security state to
allow a post-processing tool to choose the right binary to interpret the
dump.
- Print backtrace in assert() and panic() to the console.
- Code hygiene changes and alignment with MISRA C-2012 guideline with fixes
addressing issues complying to the following rules:
- MISRA rules 4.9, 5.1, 5.3, 5.7, 8.2-8.5, 8.8, 8.13, 9.3, 10.1, 10.3-10.4,
10.8, 11.3, 11.6, 12.1, 14.4, 15.7, 16.1-16.7, 17.7-17.8, 20.7, 20.10,
20.12, 21.1, 21.15, 22.7
- Clean up the usage of void pointers to access symbols
- Increase usage of static qualifier to locally used functions and data
- Migrated to use of u_register_t for register read/write to better match
AArch32 and AArch64 type sizes
- Use int-ll64 for both AArch32 and AArch64 to assist in consistent format
strings between architectures
- Clean up TF-A libc by removing non arm copyrighted implementations and
replacing them with modified FreeBSD and SCC implementations
- Various changes to support Clang linker and assembler
- The clang assembler/preprocessor is used when Clang is selected. However,
the clang linker is not used because it is unable to link TF-A objects due
to immaturity of clang linker functionality at this time.
- Refactor support APIs into Libraries
- Evolve libfdt, mbed TLS library and standard C library sources as proper
libraries that TF-A may be linked against.
- CPU Enhancements
- Add CPU support for Cortex-Ares and Cortex-A76

- Translation Tables Enhancements
- The xlat v2 library has been refactored in order to be reused by different
TF components at different EL's including the addition of EL2. Some
refactoring to make the code more generic and less specific to TF, in order
to reuse the library outside of this project.
- SPM Enhancements
- General cleanups and refactoring to pave the way to multiple partitions
support
- SDEI Enhancements
- Allow platforms to define explicit events
- Determine client EL from NS context's SCR_EL3
- Make dispatches synchronous
- Introduce jump primitives for BL31
- Mask events after CPU wakeup in {{ SDEI }} dispatcher to conform to the
specification
- Misc TF-A Core Common Code Enhancements
- Add support for eXecute In Place (XIP) memory in BL2
- Add support for the SMC Calling Convention 2.0
- Introduce External Abort handling on AArch64 External Abort routed to EL3
was reported as an unhandled exception and caused a panic. This change
enables Trusted Firmware-A to handle External Aborts routed to EL3.
- Save value of ACTLR_EL1 implementation-defined register in the CPU context
structure rather than forcing it to 0.
- Introduce ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 build option, which allows BL31 to
directly jump to a Linux kernel. This makes for a quicker and simpler boot
flow, which might be useful in some test environments.
- Add dynamic configurations for BL31, BL32 and BL33 enabling support for
Chain of Trust (COT).

### Issues resolved since last release
- No issues known at 1.5 release resolved in 1.6 release
### Known Issues
- DTB creation not supported when building on a Windows host. This step in the
build process is skipped when running on a Windows host. Known issue from 1.5
version.
## [1.5.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.4..refs/tags/v1.5) (2018-03-20)
### New features
- Added new firmware support to enable RAS (Reliability, Availability, and
Serviceability) functionality.
- Secure Partition Manager (SPM): A Secure Partition is a software execution
environment instantiated in S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple
management and security services. The SPM is the firmware component that is
responsible for managing a Secure Partition.
- SDEI dispatcher: Support for interrupt-based {{ SDEI }} events and all
interfaces as defined by the {{ SDEI }} specification v1.0, see
[SDEI Specification]
- Exception Handling Framework (EHF): Framework that allows dispatching of EL3
interrupts to their registered handlers which are registered based on their
priorities. Facilitates firmware-first error handling policy where
asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3.
Integrated the TSPD with EHF.
- Updated PSCI support:
- Implemented PSCI v1.1 optional features `MEM_PROTECT` and `SYSTEM_RESET2`.
The supported PSCI version was updated to v1.1.
- Improved PSCI STAT timestamp collection, including moving accounting for
retention states to be inside the locks and fixing handling of wrap-around
when calculating residency in AArch32 execution state.
- Added optional handler for early suspend that executes when suspending to a
power-down state and with data caches enabled.
This may provide a performance improvement on platforms where it is safe to
perform some or all of the platform actions from `pwr_domain_suspend` with
the data caches enabled.
- Enabled build option, BL2_AT_EL3, for BL2 to allow execution at EL3 without
any dependency on TF BL1.
This allows platforms which already have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load
and execute BL2 and subsequent BL stages without need for BL1. This was not
previously possible because BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to
EL3.
- Implemented support for SMCCC v1.1, including `SMCCC_VERSION` and
`SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES`.
Additionally, added support for `SMCCC_VERSION` in PSCI features to enable
discovery of the SMCCC version via PSCI feature call.
- Added Dynamic Configuration framework which enables each of the boot loader
stages to be dynamically configured at runtime if required by the platform.
The boot loader stage may optionally specify a firmware configuration file
and/or hardware configuration file that can then be shared with the next boot
loader stage.
Introduced a new BL handover interface that essentially allows passing of 4
arguments between the different BL stages.
Updated cert_create and fip_tool to support the dynamic configuration files.
The COT also updated to support these new files.
- Code hygiene changes and alignment with MISRA guideline:
- Fix use of undefined macros.
- Achieved compliance with Mandatory MISRA coding rules.
- Achieved compliance for following Required MISRA rules for the default build
configurations on FVP and Juno platforms : 7.3, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.8.
- Added support for Armv8.2-A architectural features:
- Updated translation table set-up to set the CnP (Common not Private) bit for
secure page tables so that multiple PEs in the same Inner Shareable domain
can use the same translation table entries for a given stage of translation
in a particular translation regime.
- Extended the supported values of ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange to include the
52-bit Physical Address range.
- Added support for the Scalable Vector Extension to allow Normal world
software to access SVE functionality but disable access to SVE, SIMD and
floating point functionality from the Secure world in order to prevent
corruption of the Z-registers.
- Added support for Armv8.4-A architectural feature Activity Monitor Unit (AMU)
extensions.
In addition to the v8.4 architectural extension, AMU support on Cortex-A75 was
implemented.
- Enhanced OP-TEE support to enable use of pageable OP-TEE image. The Arm
standard platforms are updated to load up to 3 images for OP-TEE; header,
pager image and paged image.
The chain of trust is extended to support the additional images.
- Enhancements to the translation table library:
- Introduced APIs to get and set the memory attributes of a region.
- Added support to manage both privilege levels in translation regimes that
describe translations for 2 Exception levels, specifically the EL1&0
translation regime, and extended the memory map region attributes to include
specifying Non-privileged access.
- Added support to specify the granularity of the mappings of each region, for
instance a 2MB region can be specified to be mapped with 4KB page tables
instead of a 2MB block.
- Disabled the higher VA range to avoid unpredictable behaviour if there is an
attempt to access addresses in the higher VA range.
- Added helpers for Device and Normal memory MAIR encodings that align with
the Arm Architecture Reference Manual for Armv8-A (Arm DDI0487B.b).
- Code hygiene including fixing type length and signedness of constants,
refactoring of function to enable the MMU, removing all instances where the
virtual address space is hardcoded and added comments that document
alignment needed between memory attributes and attributes specified in
TCR_ELx.
- Updated GIC support:
- Introduce new APIs for GICv2 and GICv3 that provide the capability to
specify interrupt properties rather than list of interrupt numbers alone.
The Arm platforms and other upstream platforms are migrated to use interrupt
properties.
- Added helpers to save / restore the GICv3 context, specifically the
Distributor and Redistributor contexts and architectural parts of the ITS
power management. The Distributor and Redistributor helpers also support the
implementation-defined part of GIC-500 and GIC-600.
Updated the Arm FVP platform to save / restore the GICv3 context on system
suspend / resume as an example of how to use the helpers.
Introduced a new TZC secured DDR carve-out for use by Arm platforms for
storing EL3 runtime data such as the GICv3 register context.
- Added support for Armv7-A architecture via build option ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7. This
includes following features:
- Updates GICv2 driver to manage GICv1 with security extensions.
- Software implementation for 32bit division.
- Enabled use of generic timer for platforms that do not set
ARM_CORTEX_Ax=yes.
- Support for Armv7-A Virtualization extensions \[DDI0406C_C\].
- Support for both Armv7-A platforms that only have 32-bit addressing and
Armv7-A platforms that support large page addressing.
- Included support for following Armv7 CPUs: Cortex-A12, Cortex-A17,
Cortex-A7, Cortex-A5, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15.
- Added support in QEMU for Armv7-A/Cortex-A15.
- Enhancements to Firmware Update feature:
- Updated the FWU documentation to describe the additional images needed for
Firmware update, and how they are used for both the Juno platform and the
Arm FVP platforms.
- Enhancements to Trusted Board Boot feature:
- Added support to cert_create tool for RSA PKCS1# v1.5 and SHA384, SHA512 and
SHA256.
- For Arm platforms added support to use ECDSA keys.
- Enhanced the mbed TLS wrapper layer to include support for both RSA and
ECDSA to enable runtime selection between RSA and ECDSA keys.
- Added support for secure interrupt handling in AArch32 sp_min, hardcoded to
only handle FIQs.
- Added support to allow a platform to load images from multiple boot sources,
for example from a second flash drive.
- Added a logging framework that allows platforms to reduce the logging level at
runtime and additionally the prefix string can be defined by the platform.
- Further improvements to register initialisation:
- Control register PMCR_EL0 / PMCR is set to prohibit cycle counting in the
secure world. This register is added to the list of registers that are saved
and restored during world switch.
- When EL3 is running in AArch32 execution state, the Non-secure version of
SCTLR is explicitly initialised during the warmboot flow rather than relying
on the hardware to set the correct reset values.
- Enhanced support for Arm platforms:
- Introduced driver for Shared-Data-Structure (SDS) framework which is used
for communication between SCP and the AP CPU, replacing Boot-Over_MHU (BOM)
protocol.
The Juno platform is migrated to use SDS with the SCMI support added in v1.3
and is set as default.
The driver can be found in the plat/arm/css/drivers folder.
- Improved memory usage by only mapping TSP memory region when the TSPD has
been included in the build. This reduces the memory footprint and avoids
unnecessary memory being mapped.
- Updated support for multi-threading CPUs for FVP platforms - always check
the MT field in MPDIR and access the bit fields accordingly.
- Support building for platforms that model DynamIQ configuration by
implementing all CPUs in a single cluster.
- Improved nor flash driver, for instance clearing status registers before
sending commands. Driver can be found plat/arm/board/common folder.
- Enhancements to QEMU platform:
- Added support for TBB.
- Added support for using OP-TEE pageable image.
- Added support for LOAD_IMAGE_V2.
- Migrated to use translation table library v2 by default.
- Added support for SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA.
- Applied workarounds CVE-2017-5715 on Arm Cortex-A57, -A72, -A73 and -A75, and
for Armv7-A CPUs Cortex-A9, -A15 and -A17.
- Applied errata workaround for Arm Cortex-A57: 859972.
- Applied errata workaround for Arm Cortex-A72: 859971.
- Added support for Poplar 96Board platform.
- Added support for Raspberry Pi 3 platform.
- Added Call Frame Information (CFI) assembler directives to the vector entries
which enables debuggers to display the backtrace of functions that triggered a
synchronous abort.
- Added ability to build dtb.
- Added support for pre-tool (cert_create and fiptool) image processing enabling
compression of the image files before processing by cert_create and fiptool.
This can reduce fip size and may also speed up loading of images. The image
verification will also get faster because certificates are generated based on
compressed images.
Imported zlib 1.2.11 to implement gunzip() for data compression.
- Enhancements to fiptool:
- Enabled the fiptool to be built using Visual Studio.
- Added padding bytes at the end of the last image in the fip to be facilitate
transfer by DMA.
### Issues resolved since last release
- TF-A can be built with optimisations disabled (-O0).
- Memory layout updated to enable Trusted Board Boot on Juno platform when
running TF-A in AArch32 execution mode (resolving [tf-issue#501]).
### Known Issues
- DTB creation not supported when building on a Windows host. This step in the
build process is skipped when running on a Windows host.
## [1.4.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.3..refs/tags/v1.4) (2017-07-07)
### New features
- Enabled support for platforms with hardware assisted coherency.
A new build option HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY allows platforms to take advantage of
the following optimisations:
- Skip performing cache maintenance during power-up and power-down.
- Use spin-locks instead of bakery locks.
- Enable data caches early on warm-booted CPUs.
- Added support for Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 processors.
Both Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 processors use the Arm DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU). The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly managed in
hardware, reducing complexity of the software operations.
- Introduced Arm GIC-600 driver.
Arm GIC-600 IP complies with Arm GICv3 architecture. For FVP platforms, the
GIC-600 driver is chosen when FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER is set to FVP_GIC600.
- Updated GICv3 support:
- Introduced power management APIs for GICv3 Redistributor. These APIs allow
platforms to power down the Redistributor during CPU power on/off. Requires
the GICv3 implementations to have power management operations.
Implemented the power management APIs for FVP.
- GIC driver data is flushed by the primary CPU so that secondary CPU do not
read stale GIC data.
- Added support for Arm System Control and Management Interface v1.0 (SCMI).
The SCMI driver implements the power domain management and system power
management protocol of the SCMI specification (Arm DEN 0056ASCMI) for
communicating with any compliant power controller.
Support is added for the Juno platform. The driver can be found in the
plat/arm/css/drivers folder.
- Added support to enable pre-integration of TBB with the Arm TrustZone
CryptoCell product, to take advantage of its hardware Root of Trust and crypto
acceleration services.
- Enabled Statistical Profiling Extensions for lower ELs.
The firmware support is limited to the use of SPE in the Non-secure state and
accesses to the SPE specific registers from S-EL1 will trap to EL3.
The SPE are architecturally specified for AArch64 only.
- Code hygiene changes aligned with MISRA guidelines:
- Fixed signed / unsigned comparison warnings in the translation table
library.
- Added U(\_x) macro and together with the existing ULL(\_x) macro fixed some
of the signed-ness defects flagged by the MISRA scanner.
- Enhancements to Firmware Update feature:
- The FWU logic now checks for overlapping images to prevent execution of
unauthenticated arbitrary code.
- Introduced new FWU_SMC_IMAGE_RESET SMC that changes the image loading state
machine to go from COPYING, COPIED or AUTHENTICATED states to RESET state.
Previously, this was only possible when the authentication of an image
failed or when the execution of the image finished.
- Fixed integer overflow which addressed TFV-1: Malformed Firmware Update SMC
can result in copy of unexpectedly large data into secure memory.
- Introduced support for Arm Compiler 6 and LLVM (clang).
TF-A can now also be built with the Arm Compiler 6 or the clang compilers. The
assembler and linker must be provided by the GNU toolchain.
Tested with Arm CC 6.7 and clang 3.9.x and 4.0.x.
- Memory footprint improvements:
- Introduced `tf_snprintf`, a reduced version of `snprintf` which has support
for a limited set of formats.
The mbedtls driver is updated to optionally use `tf_snprintf` instead of
`snprintf`.
- The `assert()` is updated to no longer print the function name, and
additional logging options are supported via an optional platform define
`PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`, which controls how verbose the assert output is.
- Enhancements to TF-A support when running in AArch32 execution state:
- Support booting SP_MIN and BL33 in AArch32 execution mode on Juno. Due to
hardware limitations, BL1 and BL2 boot in AArch64 state and there is
additional trampoline code to warm reset into SP_MIN in AArch32 execution
state.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A53/57/72 MPCore processors including the
errata workarounds that are already implemented for AArch64 execution state.
- For FVP platforms, added AArch32 Trusted Board Boot support, including the
Firmware Update feature.
- Introduced Arm SiP service for use by Arm standard platforms.
- Added new Arm SiP Service SMCs to enable the Non-secure world to read PMF
timestamps.
Added PMF instrumentation points in TF-A in order to quantify the overall
time spent in the PSCI software implementation.
- Added new Arm SiP service SMC to switch execution state.
This allows the lower exception level to change its execution state from
AArch64 to AArch32, or vice verse, via a request to EL3.
- Migrated to use SPDX\[0\] license identifiers to make software license
auditing simpler.
\:::\{note} Files that have been imported by FreeBSD have not been modified.
\:::
\[0\]: <https://spdx.org/>
- Enhancements to the translation table library:
- Added version 2 of translation table library that allows different
translation tables to be modified by using different 'contexts'. Version 1
of the translation table library only allows the current EL's translation
tables to be modified.
Version 2 of the translation table also added support for dynamic regions;
regions that can be added and removed dynamically whilst the MMU is enabled.
Static regions can only be added or removed before the MMU is enabled.
The dynamic mapping functionality is enabled or disabled when compiling by
setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1 or 0. This can be
done per-image.
- Added support for translation regimes with two virtual address spaces such
as the one shared by EL1 and EL0.
The library does not support initializing translation tables for EL0
software.
- Added support to mark the translation tables as non-cacheable using an
additional build option `XLAT_TABLE_NC`.
- Added support for GCC stack protection. A new build option
ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR was introduced that enables compilation of all BL
images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-\* options.
A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() was introduced that
returns a value used to initialize the canary for stack corruption detection.
For increased effectiveness of protection platforms must provide an
implementation that returns a random value.
- Enhanced support for Arm platforms:
- Added support for multi-threading CPUs, indicated by `MT` field in MPDIR. A
new build flag `ARM_PLAT_MT` is added, and when enabled, the functions
accessing MPIDR assume that the `MT` bit is set for the platform and access
the bit fields accordingly.
Also, a new API `plat_arm_get_cpu_pe_count` is added when `ARM_PLAT_MT` is
enabled, returning the Processing Element count within the physical CPU
corresponding to `mpidr`.
- The Arm platforms migrated to use version 2 of the translation tables.
- Introduced a new Arm platform layer API `plat_arm_psci_override_pm_ops`
which allows Arm platforms to modify `plat_arm_psci_pm_ops` and therefore
dynamically define PSCI capability.
- The Arm platforms migrated to use IMAGE_LOAD_V2 by default.
- Enhanced reporting of errata workaround status with the following policy:
- If an errata workaround is enabled:
- If it applies (i.e. the CPU is affected by the errata), an INFO message is
printed, confirming that the errata workaround has been applied.
- If it does not apply, a VERBOSE message is printed, confirming that the
errata workaround has been skipped.
- If an errata workaround is not enabled, but would have applied had it been,
a WARN message is printed, alerting that errata workaround is missing.
- Added build options ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARM_MINOR to choose the
architecture version to target TF-A.
- Updated the spin lock implementation to use the more efficient CAS (Compare
And Swap) instruction when available. This instruction was introduced in
Armv8.1-A.
- Applied errata workaround for Arm Cortex-A53: 855873.
- Applied errata workaround for Arm-Cortex-A57: 813419.
- Enabled all A53 and A57 errata workarounds for Juno, both in AArch64 and
AArch32 execution states.
- Added support for Socionext UniPhier SoC platform.
- Added support for Hikey960 and Hikey platforms.
- Added support for Rockchip RK3328 platform.
- Added support for NVidia Tegra T186 platform.
- Added support for Designware emmc driver.
- Imported libfdt v1.4.2 that addresses buffer overflow in fdt_offset_ptr().
- Enhanced the CPU operations framework to allow power handlers to be registered
on per-level basis. This enables support for future CPUs that have multiple
threads which might need powering down individually.
- Updated register initialisation to prevent unexpected behaviour:
- Debug registers MDCR-EL3/SDCR and MDCR_EL2/HDCR are initialised to avoid
unexpected traps into the higher exception levels and disable secure
self-hosted debug. Additionally, secure privileged external debug on Juno is
disabled by programming the appropriate Juno SoC registers.
- EL2 and EL3 configurable controls are initialised to avoid unexpected traps
in the higher exception levels.
- Essential control registers are fully initialised on EL3 start-up, when
initialising the non-secure and secure context structures and when preparing
to leave EL3 for a lower EL. This gives better alignment with the Arm ARM
which states that software must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1.
- Enhanced PSCI support:
- Introduced new platform interfaces that decouple PSCI stat residency
calculation from PMF, enabling platforms to use alternative methods of
capturing timestamps.
- PSCI stat accounting performed for retention/standby states when requested
at multiple power levels.
- Simplified fiptool to have a single linked list of image descriptors.
- For the TSP, resolved corruption of pre-empted secure context by aborting any
pre-empted SMC during PSCI power management requests.
### Issues resolved since last release
- TF-A can be built with the latest mbed TLS version (v2.4.2). The earlier
version 2.3.0 cannot be used due to build warnings that the TF-A build system
interprets as errors.
- TBBR, including the Firmware Update feature is now supported on FVP platforms
when running TF-A in AArch32 state.
- The version of the AEMv8 Base FVP used in this release has resolved the issue
of the model executing a reset instead of terminating in response to a
shutdown request using the PSCI SYSTEM_OFF API.
### Known Issues
- Building TF-A with compiler optimisations disabled (-O0) fails.
- Trusted Board Boot currently does not work on Juno when running Trusted
Firmware in AArch32 execution state due to error when loading the sp_min to
memory because of lack of free space available. See [tf-issue#501] for more
details.
- The errata workaround for A53 errata 843419 is only available from binutils
2.26 and is not present in GCC4.9. If this errata is applicable to the
platform, please use GCC compiler version of at least 5.0. See [PR#1002] for
more details.
## [1.3.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.2..refs/tags/v1.3) (2016-10-13)
### New features
- Added support for running TF-A in AArch32 execution state.
The PSCI library has been refactored to allow integration with **EL3 Runtime
Software**. This is software that is executing at the highest secure privilege
which is EL3 in AArch64 or Secure SVC/Monitor mode in AArch32. See
\{ref}`PSCI Library Integration guide for Armv8-A AArch32 systems`.
Included is a minimal AArch32 Secure Payload, **SP-MIN**, that illustrates the
usage and integration of the PSCI library with EL3 Runtime Software running in
AArch32 state.
Booting to the BL1/BL2 images as well as booting straight to the Secure
Payload is supported.
- Improvements to the initialization framework for the PSCI service and Arm
Standard Services in general.
The PSCI service is now initialized as part of Arm Standard Service
initialization. This consolidates the initializations of any Arm Standard
Service that may be added in the future.
A new function `get_arm_std_svc_args()` is introduced to get arguments
corresponding to each standard service and must be implemented by the EL3
Runtime Software.
For PSCI, a new versioned structure `psci_lib_args_t` is introduced to
initialize the PSCI Library. **Note** this is a compatibility break due to the
change in the prototype of `psci_setup()`.
- To support AArch32 builds of BL1 and BL2, implemented a new, alternative
firmware image loading mechanism that adds flexibility.
The current mechanism has a hard-coded set of images and execution order
(BL31, BL32, etc). The new mechanism is data-driven by a list of image
descriptors provided by the platform code.
Arm platforms have been updated to support the new loading mechanism.
The new mechanism is enabled by a build flag (`LOAD_IMAGE_V2`) which is
currently off by default for the AArch64 build.
**Note** `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when `LOAD_IMAGE_V2`
is enabled.
- Updated requirements for making contributions to TF-A.
Commits now must have a 'Signed-off-by:' field to certify that the
contribution has been made under the terms of the
{download}`Developer Certificate of Origin <../dco.txt>`.
A signed CLA is no longer required.
The {ref}`Contributor's Guide` has been updated to reflect this change.
- Introduced Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) which provides support for
capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving time-stamps to measure the
execution time of critical paths in the firmware. This relies on defining
fixed sample points at key places in the code.
- To support the QEMU platform port, imported libfdt v1.4.1 from
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git>
- Updated PSCI support:
- Added support for PSCI NODE_HW_STATE API for Arm platforms.
- New optional platform hook, `pwr_domain_pwr_down_wfi()`, in `plat_psci_ops`
to enable platforms to perform platform-specific actions needed to enter
powerdown, including the 'wfi' invocation.
- PSCI STAT residency and count functions have been added on Arm platforms by
using PMF.
- Enhancements to the translation table library:
- Limited memory mapping support for region overlaps to only allow regions to
overlap that are identity mapped or have the same virtual to physical
address offset, and overlap completely but must not cover the same area.
This limitation will enable future enhancements without having to support
complex edge cases that may not be necessary.
- The initial translation lookup level is now inferred from the virtual
address space size. Previously, it was hard-coded.
- Added support for mapping Normal, Inner Non-cacheable, Outer Non-cacheable
memory in the translation table library.
This can be useful to map a non-cacheable memory region, such as a DMA
buffer.
- Introduced the MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER memory mapping attributes to
specify the access permissions for instruction execution of a memory region.
- Enabled support to isolate code and read-only data on separate memory pages,
allowing independent access control to be applied to each.
- Enabled SCR_EL3.SIF (Secure Instruction Fetch) bit in BL1 and BL31 common
architectural setup code, preventing fetching instructions from non-secure
memory when in secure state.
- Enhancements to FIP support:
- Replaced `fip_create` with `fiptool` which provides a more consistent and
intuitive interface as well as additional support to remove an image from a
FIP file.
- Enabled printing the SHA256 digest with info command, allowing quick
verification of an image within a FIP without having to extract the image
and running sha256sum on it.
- Added support for unpacking the contents of an existing FIP file into the
working directory.
- Aligned command line options for specifying images to use same naming
convention as specified by TBBR and already used in cert_create tool.
- Refactored the TZC-400 driver to also support memory controllers that
integrate TZC functionality, for example Arm CoreLink DMC-500. Also added
DMC-500 specific support.
- Implemented generic delay timer based on the system generic counter and
migrated all platforms to use it.
- Enhanced support for Arm platforms:
- Updated image loading support to make SCP images (SCP_BL2 and SCP_BL2U)
optional.
- Enhanced topology description support to allow multi-cluster topology
definitions.
- Added interconnect abstraction layer to help platform ports select the right
interconnect driver, CCI or CCN, for the platform.
- Added support to allow loading BL31 in the TZC-secured DRAM instead of the
default secure SRAM.
- Added support to use a System Security Control (SSC) Registers Unit enabling
TF-A to be compiled to support multiple Arm platforms and then select one at
runtime.
- Restricted mapping of Trusted ROM in BL1 to what is actually needed by BL1
rather than entire Trusted ROM region.
- Flash is now mapped as execute-never by default. This increases security by
restricting the executable region to what is strictly needed.
- Applied following erratum workarounds for Cortex-A57: 833471, 826977, 829520,
828024 and 826974.
- Added support for Mediatek MT6795 platform.
- Added support for QEMU virtualization Armv8-A target.
- Added support for Rockchip RK3368 and RK3399 platforms.
- Added support for Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A73 MPCore Processor.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A72 processor.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A35 processor.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A32 MPCore Processor.
- Enabled preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow, in which BL2 does not load BL33
from non-volatile storage and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded BL33.
The User Guide has been updated with an example of how to use this option with
a bootwrapped kernel.
- Added support to build TF-A on a Windows-based host machine.
- Updated Trusted Board Boot prototype implementation:
- Enabled the ability for a production ROM with TBBR enabled to boot test
software before a real ROTPK is deployed (e.g. manufacturing mode). Added
support to use ROTPK in certificate without verifying against the platform
value when `ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED` bit is set.
- Added support for non-volatile counter authentication to the Authentication
Module to protect against roll-back.
- Updated GICv3 support:
- Enabled processor power-down and automatic power-on using GICv3.
- Enabled G1S or G0 interrupts to be configured independently.
- Changed FVP default interrupt driver to be the GICv3-only driver. **Note**
the default build of TF-A will not be able to boot Linux kernel with GICv2
FDT blob.
- Enabled wake-up from CPU_SUSPEND to stand-by by temporarily re-routing
interrupts and then restoring after resume.
### Issues resolved since last release
### Known issues
- The version of the AEMv8 Base FVP used in this release resets the model
instead of terminating its execution in response to a shutdown request using
the PSCI `SYSTEM_OFF` API. This issue will be fixed in a future version of the
model.
- Building TF-A with compiler optimisations disabled (`-O0`) fails.
- TF-A cannot be built with mbed TLS version v2.3.0 due to build warnings that
the TF-A build system interprets as errors.
- TBBR is not currently supported when running TF-A in AArch32 state.
## [1.2.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.1..refs/tags/v1.2) (2015-12-22)
### New features
- The Trusted Board Boot implementation on Arm platforms now conforms to the
mandatory requirements of the TBBR specification.
In particular, the boot process is now guarded by a Trusted Watchdog, which
will reset the system in case of an authentication or loading error. On Arm
platforms, a secure instance of Arm SP805 is used as the Trusted Watchdog.
Also, a firmware update process has been implemented. It enables authenticated
firmware to update firmware images from external interfaces to SoC
Non-Volatile memories. This feature functions even when the current firmware
in the system is corrupt or missing; it therefore may be used as a recovery
mode.
- Improvements have been made to the Certificate Generation Tool (`cert_create`)
as follows.
- Added support for the Firmware Update process by extending the Chain of
Trust definition in the tool to include the Firmware Update certificate and
the required extensions.
- Introduced a new API that allows one to specify command line options in the
Chain of Trust description. This makes the declaration of the tool's
arguments more flexible and easier to extend.
- The tool has been reworked to follow a data driven approach, which makes it
easier to maintain and extend.
- Extended the FIP tool (`fip_create`) to support the new set of images involved
in the Firmware Update process.
- Various memory footprint improvements. In particular:
- The bakery lock structure for coherent memory has been optimised.
- The mbed TLS SHA1 functions are not needed, as SHA256 is used to generate
the certificate signature. Therefore, they have been compiled out, reducing
the memory footprint of BL1 and BL2 by approximately 6 KB.
- On Arm development platforms, each BL stage now individually defines the
number of regions that it needs to map in the MMU.
- Added the following new design documents:
- {ref}`Authentication Framework & Chain of Trust`
- {ref}`Firmware Update (FWU)`
- {ref}`CPU Reset`
- {ref}`PSCI Power Domain Tree Structure`
- Applied the new image terminology to the code base and documentation, as
described in the {ref}`Image Terminology` document.
- The build system has been reworked to improve readability and facilitate
adding future extensions.
- On Arm standard platforms, BL31 uses the boot console during cold boot but
switches to the runtime console for any later logs at runtime. The TSP uses
the runtime console for all output.
- Implemented a basic NOR flash driver for Arm platforms. It programs the device
using CFI (Common Flash Interface) standard commands.
- Implemented support for booting EL3 payloads on Arm platforms, which reduces
the complexity of developing EL3 baremetal code by doing essential baremetal
initialization.
- Provided separate drivers for GICv3 and GICv2. These expect the entire
software stack to use either GICv2 or GICv3; hybrid GIC software systems are
no longer supported and the legacy Arm GIC driver has been deprecated.
- Added support for Juno r1 and r2. A single set of Juno TF-A binaries can run
on Juno r0, r1 and r2 boards. Note that this TF-A version depends on a Linaro
release that does *not* contain Juno r2 support.
- Added support for MediaTek mt8173 platform.
- Implemented a generic driver for Arm CCN IP.
- Major rework of the PSCI implementation.
- Added framework to handle composite power states.
- Decoupled the notions of affinity instances (which describes the
hierarchical arrangement of cores) and of power domain topology, instead of
assuming a one-to-one mapping.
- Better alignment with version 1.0 of the PSCI specification.
- Added support for the SYSTEM_SUSPEND PSCI API on Arm platforms. When invoked
on the last running core on a supported platform, this puts the system into a
low power mode with memory retention.
- Unified the reset handling code as much as possible across BL stages. Also
introduced some build options to enable optimization of the reset path on
platforms that support it.
- Added a simple delay timer API, as well as an SP804 timer driver, which is
enabled on FVP.
- Added support for NVidia Tegra T210 and T132 SoCs.
- Reorganised Arm platforms ports to greatly improve code shareability and
facilitate the reuse of some of this code by other platforms.
- Added support for Arm Cortex-A72 processor in the CPU specific framework.
- Provided better error handling. Platform ports can now define their own error
handling, for example to perform platform specific bookkeeping or post-error
actions.
- Implemented a unified driver for Arm Cache Coherent Interconnects used for
both CCI-400 & CCI-500 IPs. Arm platforms ports have been migrated to this
common driver. The standalone CCI-400 driver has been deprecated.
### Issues resolved since last release
- The Trusted Board Boot implementation has been redesigned to provide greater
modularity and scalability. See the
\{ref}`Authentication Framework & Chain of Trust` document. All missing
mandatory features are now implemented.
- The FVP and Juno ports may now use the hash of the ROTPK stored in the Trusted
Key Storage registers to verify the ROTPK. Alternatively, a development public
key hash embedded in the BL1 and BL2 binaries might be used instead. The
location of the ROTPK is chosen at build-time using the `ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`
build option.
- GICv3 is now fully supported and stable.
### Known issues
- The version of the AEMv8 Base FVP used in this release resets the model
instead of terminating its execution in response to a shutdown request using
the PSCI `SYSTEM_OFF` API. This issue will be fixed in a future version of the
model.
- While this version has low on-chip RAM requirements, there are further RAM
usage enhancements that could be made.
- The upstream documentation could be improved for structural consistency,
clarity and completeness. In particular, the design documentation is
incomplete for PSCI, the TSP(D) and the Juno platform.
- Building TF-A with compiler optimisations disabled (`-O0`) fails.
## [1.1.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v1.0..refs/tags/v1.1) (2015-02-04)
### New features
- A prototype implementation of Trusted Board Boot has been added. Boot loader
images are verified by BL1 and BL2 during the cold boot path. BL1 and BL2 use
the PolarSSL SSL library to verify certificates and images. The OpenSSL
library is used to create the X.509 certificates. Support has been added to
`fip_create` tool to package the certificates in a FIP.
- Support for calling CPU and platform specific reset handlers upon entry into
BL3-1 during the cold and warm boot paths has been added. This happens after
another Boot ROM `reset_handler()` has already run. This enables a developer
to perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the
first call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
- Support has been added to demonstrate routing of IRQs to EL3 instead of S-EL1
when execution is in secure world.
- The PSCI implementation now conforms to version 1.0 of the PSCI specification.
All the mandatory APIs and selected optional APIs are supported. In
particular, support for the `PSCI_FEATURES` API has been added. A capability
variable is constructed during initialization by examining the `plat_pm_ops`
and `spd_pm_ops` exported by the platform and the Secure Payload Dispatcher.
This is used by the PSCI FEATURES function to determine which PSCI APIs are
supported by the platform.
- Improvements have been made to the PSCI code as follows.
- The code has been refactored to remove redundant parameters from internal
functions.
- Changes have been made to the code for PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND`, `CPU_ON` and
`CPU_OFF` calls to facilitate an early return to the caller in case a
failure condition is detected. For example, a PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND` call
returns `SUCCESS` to the caller if a pending interrupt is detected early in
the code path.
- Optional platform APIs have been added to validate the `power_state` and
`entrypoint` parameters early in PSCI `CPU_ON` and `CPU_SUSPEND` code paths.
- PSCI migrate APIs have been reworked to invoke the SPD hook to determine the
type of Trusted OS and the CPU it is resident on (if applicable). Also,
during a PSCI `MIGRATE` call, the SPD hook to migrate the Trusted OS is
invoked.
- It is now possible to build TF-A without marking at least an extra page of
memory as coherent. The build flag `USE_COHERENT_MEM` can be used to choose
between the two implementations. This has been made possible through these
changes.
- An implementation of Bakery locks, where the locks are not allocated in
coherent memory has been added.
- Memory which was previously marked as coherent is now kept coherent through
the use of software cache maintenance operations.
Approximately, 4K worth of memory is saved for each boot loader stage when
`USE_COHERENT_MEM=0`. Enabling this option increases the latencies associated
with acquire and release of locks. It also requires changes to the platform
ports.
- It is now possible to specify the name of the FIP at build time by defining
the `FIP_NAME` variable.
- Issues with dependencies on the 'fiptool' makefile target have been rectified.
The `fip_create` tool is now rebuilt whenever its source files change.
- The BL3-1 runtime console is now also used as the crash console. The crash
console is changed to SoC UART0 (UART2) from the previous FPGA UART0 (UART0)
on Juno. In FVP, it is changed from UART0 to UART1.
- CPU errata workarounds are applied only when the revision and part number
match. This behaviour has been made consistent across the debug and release
builds. The debug build additionally prints a warning if a mismatch is
detected.
- It is now possible to issue cache maintenance operations by set/way for a
particular level of data cache. Levels 1-3 are currently supported.
- The following improvements have been made to the FVP port.
- The build option `FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION` which allowed relocation of
shared data into the Trusted DRAM has been deprecated. Shared data is now
always located at the base of Trusted SRAM.
- BL2 Translation tables have been updated to map only the region of DRAM
which is accessible to normal world. This is the region of the 2GB DDR-DRAM
memory at 0x80000000 excluding the top 16MB. The top 16MB is accessible to
only the secure world.
- BL3-2 can now reside in the top 16MB of DRAM which is accessible only to the
secure world. This can be done by setting the build flag
`FVP_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` to the value `dram`.
- Separate translation tables are created for each boot loader image. The
`IMAGE_BLx` build options are used to do this. This allows each stage to
create mappings only for areas in the memory map that it needs.
- A Secure Payload Dispatcher (OPTEED) for the OP-TEE Trusted OS has been added.
Details of using it with TF-A can be found in {ref}`OP-TEE Dispatcher`
### Issues resolved since last release
- The Juno port has been aligned with the FVP port as follows.
- Support for reclaiming all BL1 RW memory and BL2 memory by overlaying the
BL3-1/BL3-2 NOBITS sections on top of them has been added to the Juno port.
- The top 16MB of the 2GB DDR-DRAM memory at 0x80000000 is configured using
the TZC-400 controller to be accessible only to the secure world.
- The Arm GIC driver is used to configure the GIC-400 instead of using a GIC
driver private to the Juno port.
- PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND` calls that target a standby state are now supported.
- The TZC-400 driver is used to configure the controller instead of direct
accesses to the registers.
- The Linux kernel version referred to in the user guide has DVFS and HMP
support enabled.
- DS-5 v5.19 did not detect Version 5.8 of the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs in CADI
server mode. This issue is not seen with DS-5 v5.20 and Version 6.2 of the
Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs.
### Known issues
- The Trusted Board Boot implementation is a prototype. There are issues with
the modularity and scalability of the design. Support for a Trusted Watchdog,
firmware update mechanism, recovery images and Trusted debug is absent. These
issues will be addressed in future releases.
- The FVP and Juno ports do not use the hash of the ROTPK stored in the Trusted
Key Storage registers to verify the ROTPK in the `plat_match_rotpk()`
function. This prevents the correct establishment of the Chain of Trust at the
first step in the Trusted Board Boot process.
- The version of the AEMv8 Base FVP used in this release resets the model
instead of terminating its execution in response to a shutdown request using
the PSCI `SYSTEM_OFF` API. This issue will be fixed in a future version of the
model.
- GICv3 support is experimental. There are known issues with GICv3
initialization in the TF-A.
- While this version greatly reduces the on-chip RAM requirements, there are
further RAM usage enhancements that could be made.
- The firmware design documentation for the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and
its dispatcher (TSPD) is incomplete. Similarly for the PSCI section.
- The Juno-specific firmware design documentation is incomplete.
## [1.0.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v0.4..refs/tags/v1.0) (2014-08-28)
### New features
- It is now possible to map higher physical addresses using non-flat virtual to
physical address mappings in the MMU setup.
- Wider use is now made of the per-CPU data cache in BL3-1 to store:
- Pointers to the non-secure and secure security state contexts.
- A pointer to the CPU-specific operations.
- A pointer to PSCI specific information (for example the current power
state).
- A crash reporting buffer.
- The following RAM usage improvements result in a BL3-1 RAM usage reduction
from 96KB to 56KB (for FVP with TSPD), and a total RAM usage reduction across
all images from 208KB to 88KB, compared to the previous release.
- Removed the separate `early_exception` vectors from BL3-1 (2KB code size
saving).
- Removed NSRAM from the FVP memory map, allowing the removal of one (4KB)
translation table.
- Eliminated the internal `psci_suspend_context` array, saving 2KB.
- Correctly dimensioned the PSCI `aff_map_node` array, saving 1.5KB in the FVP
port.
- Removed calling CPU mpidr from the bakery lock API, saving 160 bytes.
- Removed current CPU mpidr from PSCI common code, saving 160 bytes.
- Inlined the mmio accessor functions, saving 360 bytes.
- Fully reclaimed all BL1 RW memory and BL2 memory on the FVP port by
overlaying the BL3-1/BL3-2 NOBITS sections on top of these at runtime.
- Made storing the FP register context optional, saving 0.5KB per context (8KB
on the FVP port, with TSPD enabled and running on 8 CPUs).
- Implemented a leaner `tf_printf()` function, allowing the stack to be
greatly reduced.
- Removed coherent stacks from the codebase. Stacks allocated in normal memory
are now used before and after the MMU is enabled. This saves 768 bytes per
CPU in BL3-1.
- Reworked the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack.
- Optimized the EL3 register state stored in the `cpu_context` structure so
that registers that do not change during normal execution are re-initialized
each time during cold/warm boot, rather than restored from memory. This
saves about 1.2KB.
- As a result of some of the above, reduced the runtime stack size in all BL
images. For BL3-1, this saves 1KB per CPU.
- PSCI SMC handler improvements to correctly handle calls from secure states and
from AArch32.
- CPU contexts are now initialized from the `entry_point_info`. BL3-1 fully
determines the exception level to use for the non-trusted firmware (BL3-3)
based on the SPSR value provided by the BL2 platform code (or otherwise
provided to BL3-1). This allows platform code to directly run non-trusted
firmware payloads at either EL2 or EL1 without requiring an EL2 stub or OS
loader.
- Code refactoring improvements:
- Refactored `fvp_config` into a common platform header.
- Refactored the fvp gic code to be a generic driver that no longer has an
explicit dependency on platform code.
- Refactored the CCI-400 driver to not have dependency on platform code.
- Simplified the IO driver so it's no longer necessary to call `io_init()` and
moved all the IO storage framework code to one place.
- Simplified the interface the the TZC-400 driver.
- Clarified the platform porting interface to the TSP.
- Reworked the TSPD setup code to support the alternate BL3-2 initialization
flow where BL3-1 generic code hands control to BL3-2, rather than expecting
the TSPD to hand control directly to BL3-2.
- Considerable rework to PSCI generic code to support CPU specific operations.
- Improved console log output, by:
- Adding the concept of debug log levels.
- Rationalizing the existing debug messages and adding new ones.
- Printing out the version of each BL stage at runtime.
- Adding support for printing console output from assembler code, including
when a crash occurs before the C runtime is initialized.
- Moved up to the latest versions of the FVPs, toolchain, EDK2, kernel, Linaro
file system and DS-5.
- On the FVP port, made the use of the Trusted DRAM region optional at build
time (off by default). Normal platforms will not have such a "ready-to-use"
DRAM area so it is not a good example to use it.
- Added support for PSCI `SYSTEM_OFF` and `SYSTEM_RESET` APIs.
- Added support for CPU specific reset sequences, power down sequences and
register dumping during crash reporting. The CPU specific reset sequences
include support for errata workarounds.
- Merged the Juno port into the master branch. Added support for CPU hotplug and
CPU idle. Updated the user guide to describe how to build and run on the Juno
platform.
### Issues resolved since last release
- Removed the concept of top/bottom image loading. The image loader now
automatically detects the position of the image inside the current memory
layout and updates the layout to minimize fragmentation. This resolves the
image loader limitations of previously releases. There are currently no plans
to support dynamic image loading.
- CPU idle now works on the publicized version of the Foundation FVP.
- All known issues relating to the compiler version used have now been resolved.
This TF-A version uses Linaro toolchain 14.07 (based on GCC 4.9).
### Known issues
- GICv3 support is experimental. The Linux kernel patches to support this are
not widely available. There are known issues with GICv3 initialization in the
TF-A.
- While this version greatly reduces the on-chip RAM requirements, there are
further RAM usage enhancements that could be made.
- The firmware design documentation for the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and
its dispatcher (TSPD) is incomplete. Similarly for the PSCI section.
- The Juno-specific firmware design documentation is incomplete.
- Some recent enhancements to the FVP port have not yet been translated into the
Juno port. These will be tracked via the tf-issues project.
- The Linux kernel version referred to in the user guide has DVFS and HMP
support disabled due to some known instabilities at the time of this release.
A future kernel version will re-enable these features.
- DS-5 v5.19 does not detect Version 5.8 of the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs in CADI
server mode. This is because the `<SimName>` reported by the FVP in this
version has changed. For example, for the Cortex-A57x4-A53x4 Base FVP, the
`<SimName>` reported by the FVP is `FVP_Base_Cortex_A57x4_A53x4`, while DS-5
expects it to be `FVP_Base_A57x4_A53x4`.
The temporary fix to this problem is to change the name of the FVP in
`sw/debugger/configdb/Boards/ARM FVP/Base_A57x4_A53x4/cadi_config.xml`. Change
the following line:
```
<SimName>System Generator:FVP_Base_A57x4_A53x4</SimName>
```
to System Generator:FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x4_A53x4
A similar change can be made to the other Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVP variants.
## [0.4.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v0.3..refs/tags/v0.4) (2014-06-03)
### New features
- Makefile improvements:
- Improved dependency checking when building.
- Removed `dump` target (build now always produces dump files).
- Enabled platform ports to optionally make use of parts of the Trusted
Firmware (e.g. BL3-1 only), rather than being forced to use all parts. Also
made the `fip` target optional.
- Specified the full path to source files and removed use of the `vpath`
keyword.
- Provided translation table library code for potential re-use by platforms
other than the FVPs.
- Moved architectural timer setup to platform-specific code.
- Added standby state support to PSCI cpu_suspend implementation.
- SRAM usage improvements:
- Started using the `-ffunction-sections`, `-fdata-sections` and
`--gc-sections` compiler/linker options to remove unused code and data from
the images. Previously, all common functions were being built into all
binary images, whether or not they were actually used.
- Placed all assembler functions in their own section to allow more unused
functions to be removed from images.
- Updated BL1 and BL2 to use a single coherent stack each, rather than one per
CPU.
- Changed variables that were unnecessarily declared and initialized as
non-const (i.e. in the .data section) so they are either uninitialized (zero
init) or const.
- Moved the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (BL3-2) to execute in Trusted SRAM by
default. The option for it to run in Trusted DRAM remains.
- Implemented a TrustZone Address Space Controller (TZC-400) driver. A default
configuration is provided for the Base FVPs. This means the model parameter
`-C bp.secure_memory=1` is now supported.
- Started saving the PSCI cpu_suspend 'power_state' parameter prior to
suspending a CPU. This allows platforms that implement multiple power-down
states at the same affinity level to identify a specific state.
- Refactored the entire codebase to reduce the amount of nesting in header files
and to make the use of system/user includes more consistent. Also split
platform.h to separate out the platform porting declarations from the required
platform porting definitions and the definitions/declarations specific to the
platform port.
- Optimized the data cache clean/invalidate operations.
- Improved the BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting. Unhandled
exceptions now result in a dump of registers to the console.
- Major rework to the handover interface between BL stages, in particular the
interface to BL3-1. The interface now conforms to a specification and is more
future proof.
- Added support for optionally making the BL3-1 entrypoint a reset handler
(instead of BL1). This allows platforms with an alternative image loading
architecture to re-use BL3-1 with fewer modifications to generic code.
- Reserved some DDR DRAM for secure use on FVP platforms to avoid future
compatibility problems with non-secure software.
- Added support for secure interrupts targeting the Secure-EL1 Payload (SP)
(using GICv2 routing only). Demonstrated this working by adding an interrupt
target and supporting test code to the TSP. Also demonstrated non-secure
interrupt handling during TSP processing.
### Issues resolved since last release
- Now support use of the model parameter `-C bp.secure_memory=1` in the Base
FVPs (see **New features**).
- Support for secure world interrupt handling now available (see **New
features**).
- Made enough SRAM savings (see **New features**) to enable the Test Secure-EL1
Payload (BL3-2) to execute in Trusted SRAM by default.
- The tested filesystem used for this release (Linaro AArch64 OpenEmbedded
14.04) now correctly reports progress in the console.
- Improved the Makefile structure to make it easier to separate out parts of the
TF-A for re-use in platform ports. Also, improved target dependency checking.
### Known issues
- GICv3 support is experimental. The Linux kernel patches to support this are
not widely available. There are known issues with GICv3 initialization in the
TF-A.
- Dynamic image loading is not available yet. The current image loader
implementation (used to load BL2 and all subsequent images) has some
limitations. Changing BL2 or BL3-1 load addresses in certain ways can lead to
loading errors, even if the images should theoretically fit in memory.
- TF-A still uses too much on-chip Trusted SRAM. A number of RAM usage
enhancements have been identified to rectify this situation.
- CPU idle does not work on the advertised version of the Foundation FVP. Some
FVP fixes are required that are not available externally at the time of
writing. This can be worked around by disabling CPU idle in the Linux kernel.
- Various bugs in TF-A, UEFI and the Linux kernel have been observed when using
Linaro toolchain versions later than 13.11. Although most of these have been
fixed, some remain at the time of writing. These mainly seem to relate to a
subtle change in the way the compiler converts between 64-bit and 32-bit
values (e.g. during casting operations), which reveals previously hidden bugs
in client code.
- The firmware design documentation for the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and
its dispatcher (TSPD) is incomplete. Similarly for the PSCI section.
## [0.3.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v0.2..refs/tags/v0.3) (2014-02-28)
### New features
- Support for Foundation FVP Version 2.0 added. The documented UEFI
configuration disables some devices that are unavailable in the Foundation
FVP, including MMC and CLCD. The resultant UEFI binary can be used on the
AEMv8 and Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs, as well as the Foundation FVP.
\:::\{note} The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
\:::
- Enabled third party contributions. Added a new contributing.md containing
instructions for how to contribute and updated copyright text in all files to
acknowledge contributors.
- The PSCI CPU_SUSPEND API has been stabilised to the extent where it can be
used for entry into power down states with the following restrictions:
- Entry into standby states is not supported.
- The API is only supported on the AEMv8 and Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs.
- The PSCI AFFINITY_INFO api has undergone limited testing on the Base FVPs to
allow experimental use.
- Required C library and runtime header files are now included locally in TF-A
instead of depending on the toolchain standard include paths. The local
implementation has been cleaned up and reduced in scope.
- Added I/O abstraction framework, primarily to allow generic code to load
images in a platform-independent way. The existing image loading code has been
reworked to use the new framework. Semi-hosting and NOR flash I/O drivers are
provided.
- Introduced Firmware Image Package (FIP) handling code and tools. A FIP
combines multiple firmware images with a Table of Contents (ToC) into a single
binary image. The new FIP driver is another type of I/O driver. The Makefile
builds a FIP by default and the FVP platform code expect to load a FIP from
NOR flash, although some support for image loading using semi- hosting is
retained.
\:::\{note} Building a FIP by default is a non-backwards-compatible change. :::
\:::\{note} Generic BL2 code now loads a BL3-3 (non-trusted firmware) image
into DRAM instead of expecting this to be pre-loaded at known location. This
is also a non-backwards-compatible change. :::
\:::\{note} Some non-trusted firmware (e.g. UEFI) will need to be rebuilt so
that it knows the new location to execute from and no longer needs to copy
particular code modules to DRAM itself. :::
- Reworked BL2 to BL3-1 handover interface. A new composite structure
(bl31_args) holds the superset of information that needs to be passed from BL2
to BL3-1, including information on how handover execution control to BL3-2 (if
present) and BL3-3 (non-trusted firmware).
- Added library support for CPU context management, allowing the saving and
restoring of
- Shared system registers between Secure-EL1 and EL1.
- VFP registers.
- Essential EL3 system registers.
- Added a framework for implementing EL3 runtime services. Reworked the PSCI
implementation to be one such runtime service.
- Reworked the exception handling logic, making use of both SP_EL0 and SP_EL3
stack pointers for determining the type of exception, managing general purpose
and system register context on exception entry/exit, and handling SMCs. SMCs
are directed to the correct EL3 runtime service.
- Added support for a Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and a corresponding
Dispatcher (TSPD), which is loaded as an EL3 runtime service. The TSPD
implements Secure Monitor functionality such as world switching and EL1
context management, and is responsible for communication with the TSP.
\:::\{note} The TSPD does not yet contain support for secure world interrupts.
\:::
\:::\{note} The TSP/TSPD is not built by default. :::
### Issues resolved since last release
- Support has been added for switching context between secure and normal worlds
in EL3.
- PSCI API calls `AFFINITY_INFO` & `PSCI_VERSION` have now been tested (to a
limited extent).
- The TF-A build artifacts are now placed in the `./build` directory and
sub-directories instead of being placed in the root of the project.
- TF-A is now free from build warnings. Build warnings are now treated as
errors.
- TF-A now provides C library support locally within the project to maintain
compatibility between toolchains/systems.
- The PSCI locking code has been reworked so it no longer takes locks in an
incorrect sequence.
- The RAM-disk method of loading a Linux file-system has been confirmed to work
with the TF-A and Linux kernel version (based on version 3.13) used in this
release, for both Foundation and Base FVPs.
### Known issues
The following is a list of issues which are expected to be fixed in the future
releases of TF-A.
- The TrustZone Address Space Controller (TZC-400) is not being programmed yet.
Use of model parameter `-C bp.secure_memory=1` is not supported.
- No support yet for secure world interrupt handling.
- GICv3 support is experimental. The Linux kernel patches to support this are
not widely available. There are known issues with GICv3 initialization in
TF-A.
- Dynamic image loading is not available yet. The current image loader
implementation (used to load BL2 and all subsequent images) has some
limitations. Changing BL2 or BL3-1 load addresses in certain ways can lead to
loading errors, even if the images should theoretically fit in memory.
- TF-A uses too much on-chip Trusted SRAM. Currently the Test Secure-EL1 Payload
(BL3-2) executes in Trusted DRAM since there is not enough SRAM. A number of
RAM usage enhancements have been identified to rectify this situation.
- CPU idle does not work on the advertised version of the Foundation FVP. Some
FVP fixes are required that are not available externally at the time of
writing.
- Various bugs in TF-A, UEFI and the Linux kernel have been observed when using
Linaro toolchain versions later than 13.11. Although most of these have been
fixed, some remain at the time of writing. These mainly seem to relate to a
subtle change in the way the compiler converts between 64-bit and 32-bit
values (e.g. during casting operations), which reveals previously hidden bugs
in client code.
- The tested filesystem used for this release (Linaro AArch64 OpenEmbedded
14.01) does not report progress correctly in the console. It only seems to
produce error output, not standard output. It otherwise appears to function
correctly. Other filesystem versions on the same software stack do not exhibit
the problem.
- The Makefile structure doesn't make it easy to separate out parts of the TF-A
for re-use in platform ports, for example if only BL3-1 is required in a
platform port. Also, dependency checking in the Makefile is flawed.
- The firmware design documentation for the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and
its dispatcher (TSPD) is incomplete. Similarly for the PSCI section.
## [0.2.0](https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904..refs/tags/v0.2) (2013-10-25)
### New features
- First source release.
- Code for the PSCI suspend feature is supplied, although this is not enabled by
default since there are known issues (see below).
### Issues resolved since last release
- The "psci" nodes in the FDTs provided in this release now fully comply with
the recommendations made in the PSCI specification.
### Known issues
The following is a list of issues which are expected to be fixed in the future
releases of TF-A.
- The TrustZone Address Space Controller (TZC-400) is not being programmed yet.
Use of model parameter `-C bp.secure_memory=1` is not supported.
- No support yet for secure world interrupt handling or for switching context
between secure and normal worlds in EL3.
- GICv3 support is experimental. The Linux kernel patches to support this are
not widely available. There are known issues with GICv3 initialization in
TF-A.
- Dynamic image loading is not available yet. The current image loader
implementation (used to load BL2 and all subsequent images) has some
limitations. Changing BL2 or BL3-1 load addresses in certain ways can lead to
loading errors, even if the images should theoretically fit in memory.
- Although support for PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND` is present, it is not yet stable and
ready for use.
- PSCI API calls `AFFINITY_INFO` & `PSCI_VERSION` are implemented but have not
been tested.
- The TF-A make files result in all build artifacts being placed in the root of
the project. These should be placed in appropriate sub-directories.
- The compilation of TF-A is not free from compilation warnings. Some of these
warnings have not been investigated yet so they could mask real bugs.
- TF-A currently uses toolchain/system include files like stdio.h. It should
provide versions of these within the project to maintain compatibility between
toolchains/systems.
- The PSCI code takes some locks in an incorrect sequence. This may cause
problems with suspend and hotplug in certain conditions.
- The Linux kernel used in this release is based on version 3.12-rc4. Using this
kernel with the TF-A fails to start the file-system as a RAM-disk. It fails to
execute user-space `init` from the RAM-disk. As an alternative, the
VirtioBlock mechanism can be used to provide a file-system to the kernel.
