[PATCH v4] Add RISC-V support content to the EBBR specification

by Atish Patra

This patch adds all the required content to make RISC-V EBBR compatible. The additional content is not a lot given that we just need to update the architecture specific sections for RISC-V. Rest of the document is ISA agnostic anyways.

RE: [TF-A] Proposal: TF-A to adopt hand-off blocks (HOBs) for information passing between boot stages

by Julian Hall

Hi, My interest in boot information passing is from the perspective of a down-boot-chain consumer. From this perspective, I have the following preferences: 1) Whatever information passing mechanism is used (e.g. HOB or DT), we use a common object identification scheme that may be used with either mechanism. This helps to decouple components that consume information from the actual delivery method. 2) A hierarchical naming scheme is used (e.g. like the DT 'compatible' string). This has the following benefits: a. Scales well as the naming authority can be delegated to different organisations. b. Clear traceability to the defining authority. c. No reliance on a central register of IDs. d. New IDs can be freely defined without much ceremony. e. Names can be meaningful and easy to understand. f. The hierarchical structure may be exploited if necessary to include things like family, version, instance number or any other structure that makes sense to the naming authority. Just my two cents worth.

I am certain I could not capture all suggestions/concerns brought up during the call. I apologize if I missed and/or misinterpreted any comments and would appreciate it if everyone could share their thoughts in response to this email thread. The idea is to share information to other boot phases: > Dynamic information: Created during runtime. Shared in the form of a chain of blobs(built as a linked list of C structure objects i.e., HOB list). > Static information: Known at compile time. Historically, shared through the use of Device Tree/ACPI tables Both the above requirements are common in many ecosystems and need to co-exist. There are broadly 3 problems to solve: 1. Format of HOB structures: It looks like the consensus is that we could use existing mechanisms for this (BL_AUX_PARAM in TF-A or bloblist in u-boot). 2. Identification of HOB list entries: There is a debate about whether tags would suffice or if the HOB list producer and consumer would depend on UUID/GUIDs for identifying a specific HOB structure. Another suggestion was to use a hybrid approach. Reserve a single tag ID for identifying/constructing a HOB structure that further leverages UUID based identifier. This way, the generic HOB list doesn't need to support UUIDs and can work with tags. 3. The design contract for the static interface between two boot phases: The problem at hand is whether to pass a pointer to a HOB list or a device tree blob through the general-purpose registers for configuration hand-off between two boot phases. Some proposals that came up: > Proposal 1: Always pass a pointer to the device tree blob through the GP register and capture the pointer to the HOB list as a property of a node that is uniquely identifiable by the downstream boot phase. This needs to define a device tree binding such that producer and consumer agree on the information passed. > Proposal 2: Pass a pointer to a generic container through the GP register that can be interpreted appropriately by both boot loaders(i.e., producer and consumer of the boot info). This container can either be a dtb or a HOB list which can be simply inferred by checking for a magic header that indicates if the buffer appears to be a flattened device tree. > One another concern that was brought up offline is to make sure we don't break current design contracts between various boot loader phases in TF-A. Many of the general-purpose registers have a designated purpose such as to share configurations between BL images( such as firmware config dtb, SoC config dtb, Non trusted firmware config dtb, memory layout, entry point info, etc.). If I am not mistaken, a single design may not fit the needs of every segment(client, Infra, embedded) and the forum is open to solutions tailored for individual segments. Joanna will be sending a follow up email with more information about future TF-A tech forums that serves as a platform for further discussions.

This will eliminate the burden of having to support UUID as the tag, and this enables projects that require UUID based identifiers for the broad range of HOB structures that need to be produced during the booting of the platform. Once we have a tag for a HOB list, this will enable various HOB producers that can add/extend the HOB list in TF-A code (or even pre-TF-A code), with a HOB consumer for that UUID/GUID on the other side (i.e. whatever the BL33 image is booting on that platform). >> >> >> >> Essentially, the idea is if someone would like to support HOB structures in a standard way using TF-A, they would wrap it up in a BL_AUX_PARAM/BLOB structure (whatever the group decides) and the way we identify the structure as a HOB list is with this new reserved tag. >> >> >> >> Hopefully that makes sense and less contentious.

You usually want to parse something like this as early as possible in the passed-to firmware stage, particularly if the structure encodes information about the debug console (like it does for the platforms I mentioned above). For example, in BL31 this basically means doing it right after moving from assembly to C in bl31_early_platform_setup2() to get the console up before running anything else. At that point in the BL31 initialization, the MMU and caches are disabled, so data accesses are pretty expensive and you don't want to spend a lot of parsing effort or calculate complicated checksums or the like.

E.g. see this code: >> >> >> >> #define FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_TSEG_GUID \ >> EFI_GUID(0xd038747c, 0xd00c, 0x4980, \ >> 0xb3, 0x19, 0x49, 0x01, 0x99, 0xa4, 0x7d, 0x55) >> >> (etc.) >> >> >> >> static struct guid_name { >> efi_guid_t guid; >> const char *name; >> } guid_name[] = { >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_TSEG_GUID, "TSEG" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_FSP_GUID, "FSP" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_SMM_PEI_SMRAM_GUID, "SMM PEI SMRAM" }, >> { FSP_NON_VOLATILE_STORAGE_HOB_GUID, "NVS" }, >> { FSP_VARIABLE_NV_DATA_HOB_GUID, "Variable NVS" }, >> { FSP_GRAPHICS_INFO_HOB_GUID, "Graphics info" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_PCD_DATABASE_GUID1, "PCD database ea" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_PCD_DATABASE_GUID2, "PCD database 9b" }, >> >> (never figured out what those two are) >> >> >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_PEIM_DXE_GUID, "PEIM Init DXE" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_ALLOC_STACK_GUID, "Alloc stack" }, >> { FSP_HOB_RESOURCE_OWNER_SMBIOS_MEMORY_GUID, "SMBIOS memory" }, >> { {}, "zero-guid" }, >> {} >> }; >> >> static const char *guid_to_name(const efi_guid_t *guid) >> { >> struct guid_name *entry; >> >> for (entry = guid_name; entry->name; entry++) { >> if (!guidcmp(guid, &entry->guid)) >> return entry->name; >> } >> >> return NULL; >> } >> >> >> >> Believe it or not it took a fair bit of effort to find just that small list, with nearly every one in a separate doc, from memory. >> >> >> >> >> >> We can probably debate whether there is any value in GUID/UUID or not during the call… but again, boblist seems like a reasonable starting point as an alternative to HOB. >> >> >> >> Indeed.

RE: [TF-A] Proposal: TF-A to adopt hand-off blocks (HOBs) for information passing between boot stages

by Madhukar Pappireddy

Attached slides presented by Manish in the TF-A tech forum. -----Original Message----- From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Madhukar Pappireddy via TF-A Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2021 8:59 PM To: Joanna Farley <Joanna.Farley(a)arm.com>; Okash Khawaja <okash.khawaja(a)gmail.com>; Simon Glass <sjg(a)chromium.org> Cc: Harb Abdulhamid OS <abdulhamid(a)os.amperecomputing.com>; Boot Architecture Mailman List <boot-architecture(a)lists.linaro.org>; Ed Stuber <edstuber(a)amperecomputing.com>; Arjun Khare <akhare(a)amperecomputing.com>; U-Boot Mailing List <u-boot(a)lists.denx.de>; tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org; Paul Isaac's <paul.isaacs(a)linaro.org>; Ron Minnich <rminnich(a)google.com>; Moe Ammar <moe(a)amperecomputing.com> Subject: Re: [TF-A] Proposal: TF-A to adopt hand-off blocks (HOBs) for information passing between boot stages Hi, I tried to summarize the discussions in the previous TF-A tech forum regarding the proposal to adopt Hand-off Blocks (HOBs) for passing information along the boot chain. I am certain I could not capture all suggestions/concerns brought up during the call. I apologize if I missed and/or misinterpreted any comments and would appreciate it if everyone could share their thoughts in response to this email thread. The idea is to share information to other boot phases: > Dynamic information: Created during runtime. Shared in the form of a chain of blobs(built as a linked list of C structure objects i.e., HOB list). > Static information: Known at compile time. Historically, shared through the use of Device Tree/ACPI tables Both the above requirements are common in many ecosystems and need to co-exist. There are broadly 3 problems to solve: 1. Format of HOB structures: It looks like the consensus is that we could use existing mechanisms for this (BL_AUX_PARAM in TF-A or bloblist in u-boot). 2. Identification of HOB list entries: There is a debate about whether tags would suffice or if the HOB list producer and consumer would depend on UUID/GUIDs for identifying a specific HOB structure. Another suggestion was to use a hybrid approach. Reserve a single tag ID for identifying/constructing a HOB structure that further leverages UUID based identifier. This way, the generic HOB list doesn't need to support UUIDs and can work with tags. 3. The design contract for the static interface between two boot phases: The problem at hand is whether to pass a pointer to a HOB list or a device tree blob through the general-purpose registers for configuration hand-off between two boot phases. Some proposals that came up: > Proposal 1: Always pass a pointer to the device tree blob through the GP register and capture the pointer to the HOB list as a property of a node that is uniquely identifiable by the downstream boot phase. This needs to define a device tree binding such that producer and consumer agree on the information passed. > Proposal 2: Pass a pointer to a generic container through the GP register that can be interpreted appropriately by both boot loaders(i.e., producer and consumer of the boot info). This container can either be a dtb or a HOB list which can be simply inferred by checking for a magic header that indicates if the buffer appears to be a flattened device tree. > One another concern that was brought up offline is to make sure we don't break current design contracts between various boot loader phases in TF-A. Many of the general-purpose registers have a designated purpose such as to share configurations between BL images( such as firmware config dtb, SoC config dtb, Non trusted firmware config dtb, memory layout, entry point info, etc.). If I am not mistaken, a single design may not fit the needs of every segment(client, Infra, embedded) and the forum is open to solutions tailored for individual segments. Joanna will be sending a follow up email with more information about future TF-A tech forums that serves as a platform for further discussions.

This will eliminate the burden of having to support UUID as the tag, and this enables projects that require UUID based identifiers for the broad range of HOB structures that need to be produced during the booting of the platform. Once we have a tag for a HOB list, this will enable various HOB producers that can add/extend the HOB list in TF-A code (or even pre-TF-A code), with a HOB consumer for that UUID/GUID on the other side (i.e. whatever the BL33 image is booting on that platform). >> >> >> >> Essentially, the idea is if someone would like to support HOB structures in a standard way using TF-A, they would wrap it up in a BL_AUX_PARAM/BLOB structure (whatever the group decides) and the way we identify the structure as a HOB list is with this new reserved tag. >> >> >> >> Hopefully that makes sense and less contentious.

You usually want to parse something like this as early as possible in the passed-to firmware stage, particularly if the structure encodes information about the debug console (like it does for the platforms I mentioned above). For example, in BL31 this basically means doing it right after moving from assembly to C in bl31_early_platform_setup2() to get the console up before running anything else. At that point in the BL31 initialization, the MMU and caches are disabled, so data accesses are pretty expensive and you don't want to spend a lot of parsing effort or calculate complicated checksums or the like.

RPI4 booting with SystemReady-IR flow

by François Ozog

Hi, I verified that RPI4 can boot Ubuntu and LEDGE RP with UEFI + U-Boot. Two flows have been checked: direct (kernel+initrd in BootXXX variable leveraging LOAD_FILE2 mechanism) and through grub. Note: Grub (current head) behaves properly but does not display anything on serial console because lack of U-Boot (2021.07-rc2) support for: GRUB_EFI_SERIAL_IO_GUID \ { 0xbb25cf6f, 0xf1d4, 0x11d2, \ { 0x9a, 0x0c, 0x00, 0x90, 0x27, 0x3f, 0xc1, 0xfd } \ } /* details: grub-core/term/efi/serial.c, grub_efiserial_init() -> grub_efi_locate_handle (GRUB_EFI_BY_PROTOCOL, &serial_io_guid,...) returns NULL */ So I think we need to add this protocol and some others to make the UEFI text environment fully supported for grub. Cheers FF PS: It would be nice to have an efidebug command to actually trace all boot services calls to "get_protocol" and either trace all requests or just failed requests. -- François-Frédéric Ozog | *Director Linaro Edge & Fog Computing Group* T: +33.67221.6485 francois.ozog(a)linaro.org | Skype: ffozog

Re: [TF-A] Proposal: TF-A to adopt hand-off blocks (HOBs) for information passing between boot stages

Requirements for data representation. I’ll take two concrete examples related to DIMM slot population and reporting. 6 years ago (can’t be sure) only DRAM modules could be fitted into DIMM slots. And then came NVDIMM and flash as DIMM (invented by Diablo technologies: 1TB of flash on a DIMM with a few MB as IO buffers and control registers - those memory regions where the only addressable DRAM). In both cases all firmware chain had to be changed to cope with them. If we had used self descriptive information passing (CBOR, DT, AML) for DIMM slot population and not C structure the journey would have been much simpler with forward and backward compatibility as a major side effect. So for data representation , I would concur with previous Ron Minnich @googke comment that we should be using self descriptive information rather than C structures. > > If I am not mistaken, a single design may not fit the needs of every > segment(client, Infra, embedded) and the forum is open to solutions > tailored for individual segments.

I would love the BL33 becomes a product maker (using a board vendor product) decision: using EDK2, U-Boot, LinuxBoot or even Xen directly as BL33. If this is a goal , then there will be a need for a translation layer between the firmware framework (tfa, core boot, uboot SPL) formats and the non secure firmware format. If this is not a goal then I agree that passing a DT in an ACPI system is suboptimal. That said there is a UEFI PI HOB that is a DT container and used in existing systems. And conversely, in systems with complex MDIO or other hardware without ACPI representation (serdes), it does not make sense to bring ACPI stuff. The easiest path is to not give a choice of BL33 and have a format for each “realm”: DT or ACPI. > > Its also helpful to look at what has become of the rpi4 uefi port, where > the DT is actually dynamic (or provided by the user, complete with HAT > overlays) and fed into the lower level firmware and propagated up > through the system.

That’s why Arm SystemReady-IR states that it should be the case for DT too. RPI4 and beaglebone have had different strategies and each with good and bad things.
