+Arm SiP Services
+================
+
+This document enumerates and describes the Arm SiP (Silicon Provider) services.
+
+SiP services are non-standard, platform-specific services offered by the silicon
+implementer or platform provider. They are accessed via ``SMC`` ("SMC calls")
+instruction executed from Exception Levels below EL3. SMC calls for SiP
+services:
+
+- Follow `SMC Calling Convention`_;
+- Use SMC function IDs that fall in the SiP range, which are ``0xc2000000`` -
+ ``0xc200ffff`` for 64-bit calls, and ``0x82000000`` - ``0x8200ffff`` for 32-bit
+ calls.
+
+The Arm SiP implementation offers the following services:
+
+- Performance Measurement Framework (PMF)
+- Execution State Switching service
+- DebugFS interface
+
+Source definitions for Arm SiP service are located in the ``arm_sip_svc.h`` header
+file.
+
+Performance Measurement Framework (PMF)
+---------------------------------------
+
+The :ref:`Performance Measurement Framework <firmware_design_pmf>`
+allows callers to retrieve timestamps captured at various paths in TF-A
+execution.
+
+Execution State Switching service
+---------------------------------
+
+Execution State Switching service provides a mechanism for a non-secure lower
+Exception Level (either EL2, or NS EL1 if EL2 isn't implemented) to request to
+switch its execution state (a.k.a. Register Width), either from AArch64 to
+AArch32, or from AArch32 to AArch64, for the calling CPU. This service is only
+available when Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is built for AArch64 (i.e. when build
+option ``ARCH`` is set to ``aarch64``).
+
+``ARM_SIP_SVC_EXE_STATE_SWITCH``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ Arguments:
+ uint32_t Function ID
+ uint32_t PC hi
+ uint32_t PC lo
+ uint32_t Cookie hi
+ uint32_t Cookie lo
+
+ Return:
+ uint32_t
+
+The function ID parameter must be ``0x82000020``. It uniquely identifies the
+Execution State Switching service being requested.
+
+The parameters *PC hi* and *PC lo* defines upper and lower words, respectively,
+of the entry point (physical address) at which execution should start, after
+Execution State has been switched. When calling from AArch64, *PC hi* must be 0.
+
+When execution starts at the supplied entry point after Execution State has been
+switched, the parameters *Cookie hi* and *Cookie lo* are passed in CPU registers
+0 and 1, respectively. When calling from AArch64, *Cookie hi* must be 0.
+
+This call can only be made on the primary CPU, before any secondaries were
+brought up with ``CPU_ON`` PSCI call. Otherwise, the call will always fail.
+
+The effect of switching execution state is as if the Exception Level were
+entered for the first time, following power on. This means CPU registers that
+have a defined reset value by the Architecture will assume that value. Other
+registers should not be expected to hold their values before the call was made.
+CPU endianness, however, is preserved from the previous execution state. Note
+that this switches the execution state of the calling CPU only. This is not a
+substitute for PSCI ``SYSTEM_RESET``.
+
+The service may return the following error codes:
+
+- ``STATE_SW_E_PARAM``: If any of the parameters were deemed invalid for
+ a specific request.
+- ``STATE_SW_E_DENIED``: If the call is not successful, or when TF-A is
+ built for AArch32.
+
+If the call is successful, the caller wouldn't observe the SMC returning.
+Instead, execution starts at the supplied entry point, with the CPU registers 0
+and 1 populated with the supplied *Cookie hi* and *Cookie lo* values,
+respectively.
+
+DebugFS interface
+-----------------
+
+The optional DebugFS interface is accessed through an SMC SiP service. Refer
+to the component documentation for details.
+
+String parameters are passed through a shared buffer using a specific union:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ union debugfs_parms {
+ struct {
+ char fname[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ } open;
+
+ struct mount {
+ char srv[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ char where[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ char spec[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ } mount;
+
+ struct {
+ char path[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ dir_t dir;
+ } stat;
+
+ struct {
+ char oldpath[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ char newpath[MAX_PATH_LEN];
+ } bind;
+ };
+
+Format of the dir_t structure as such:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ typedef struct {
+ char name[NAMELEN];
+ long length;
+ unsigned char mode;
+ unsigned char index;
+ unsigned char dev;
+ qid_t qid;
+ } dir_t;
