The current usage of RAS_EXTENSION in TF-A codebase is to cater for two
things in TF-A :
1. Pull in necessary framework and platform hooks for Firmware first
handling(FFH) of RAS errors.
2. Manage the FEAT_RAS extension when switching the worlds.
FFH means that all the EAs from NS are trapped in EL3 first and signaled
to NS world later after the first handling is done in firmware. There is
an alternate way of handling RAS errors viz Kernel First handling(KFH).
Tying FEAT_RAS to RAS_EXTENSION build flag was not correct as the
feature is needed for proper handling KFH in as well.
This patch breaks down the RAS_EXTENSION flag into a flag to denote the
CPU architecture `ENABLE_FEAT_RAS` which is used in context management
during world switch and another flag `RAS_FFH_SUPPORT` to pull in
required framework and platform hooks for FFH.
Proper support for KFH will be added in future patches.
BREAKING CHANGE: The previous RAS_EXTENSION is now deprecated. The
equivalent functionality can be achieved by the following
2 options:
- ENABLE_FEAT_RAS
- RAS_FFH_SUPPORT

Currently we call el3_panic for panics from EL3 and elx_panic for
panics from lower ELs.
When we boot into a rich OS environment and interact with BL31 using
SMC/ABI calls and we can also decide to handle any lower EL panics in
EL3. Panic can occur in lower EL from rich OS or during SMC/ABI calls
after context switch to EL3.
But after booting into any rich OS we may land in panic either from
rich OS or while servicing any SMC call, here the logic to use
el3_panic or elx_panic is flawed as spsr_el3[3:0] is always EL3h
and end up in elx_panic even if panic occurred from EL3 during
SMC handling.
We try to decouple the elx_panic usage for its intended purpose,
introduce lower_el_panic which would call elx_panic, currently
lower_el_panic is called from default platform_ea_handle which
would be called due to panic from any of the lower ELs.
Also remove the weak linkage for elx_panic and rename it to
report_elx_panic which could be used with lower_el_panic.

This change introduces the period prefix to all specialized section

Currently, when RECLAIM_INIT_CODE is set, the
stacks are scaled to ensure that the entirety
of the init section can be reclaimed as stack.
This causes an issue in lib/psci/aarch64/psci_helpers.S,
where the stack size is used for cache operations in
psci_do_pwrdown_cache_maintenance(). If the stacks
are scaled, then the PSCI code may fail to invalidate
some of the stack memory before power down.
Resizing stacks is also not good for stability in general,
since code that works with a small number of cores may
overflow the stack when the number of cores is increased.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

Crash reporting via the default consoles registered by MULTI_CONSOLE_API
has been broken since commit d35cc34 (Console: Use callee-saved

It's not really possible with the current crash reporting framework to
support console drivers in C, however we should make sure that the
existing assembly drivers that do support crash reporting continue to
work through the MULTI_CONSOLE_API.
This patch fixes the problem by creating custom console_putc() and
console_flush() implementations for the crash reporting case that do not
use the stack. Platforms that want to use this feature will have to link
plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S explicitly.
Also update the documentation to better reflect the new reality (of this

Commit e74afb652 (Deprecate weak crash console functions) deprecated the
default inclusion of weak definitions for plat_crash_console functions
in plat/common/aarch64/platform_helpers.S. The code was later copied out
to plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S so platforms can link it
explicitly if they want to. However, since deprecation does not mean
removal, the same code is also still duplicated in platform_helpers.S.
The duplicated code contains both empty stubs for the !MULTI_CONSOLE_API
case, and a real implementation that used to work but was broken by
commit d35cc34 (Console: Use callee-saved registers) for
MULTI_CONSOLE_API. It's not great to have both of these duplicated in
two files, so this patch splits them up: in platform_helpers.S we'll
only keep the empty stubs (guarded by !ERROR_DEPRECATED), which should
not regress functionality since the MULTI_CONSOLE_API implementation was
already broken anyway. In crash_console_helpers.S, we'll only keep the
MULTI_CONSOLE_API version, which is enough both as an implementation in
itself and as a sample for how to reimplement these functions in a
platform-specific file.

Since commit 031dbb1224 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"),
it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family
between aarch32 and aarch64.
For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32
and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. Likewise, uintptr_t is defined
as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.
A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code.
One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough
for both architectures. For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type,
like this:
printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val);
Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>,
like this:
printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val);
But, both would make the code ugly.
The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for
all architectures. The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have
been unified into int-ll64, like follows:
typedef signed char int8_t;
typedef unsigned char uint8_t;
typedef signed short int16_t;
typedef unsigned short uint16_t;
typedef signed int int32_t;
typedef unsigned int uint32_t;
typedef signed long long int64_t;
typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
[ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ]
This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit,
with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively.
The width for primitive types is defined as follows:
ILP32 LP64
int 32 32
long 32 64
long long 64 64
pointer 32 64
'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t.
'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t.
We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t.
All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit
architectures use "unsigned int" size_t. H8/300, S/390 are known as
exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture
is 32 bit.
One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long'
across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format.
However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof()
operator. We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so
we need a guess of it anyway. I want the following formula to always
return 1:
__builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int)))
Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case. As far as I know, all
32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t.

Some generic compatibility functions emit deprecated declaration warnings

can be confusing. Suppress these warnings by using:
`#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"`
Also emit a runtime warning if the weak plat/common implemntation of
plat_get_syscnt_freq2() is used, as this implies the platform has not
migrated from plat_get_syscnt_freq(). The deprecated declaration warnings
only help detect when platforms are calling deprecated functions, not when

This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx
functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash
output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases
without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console.
For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very
early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms
are still able to override the functions just like before.
This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work.
For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.
The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
be removed at some point in the future.
The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
default upon registration that can be overridden with the
console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
to this framework will be added with a later patch.
This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
to AArch32 as well if desired.

The implementation currently supports only interrupt-based SDEI events,
and supports all interfaces as defined by SDEI specification version
1.0 [1].
Introduce the build option SDEI_SUPPORT to include SDEI dispatcher in
BL31.
Update user guide and porting guide. SDEI documentation to follow.
