+TF-A CMake buildsystem
+======================

+Abstract
+--------
+This document presents a proposal for a new buildsystem for TF-A using CMake,
+and as part of this a reusable CMake framework for embedded projects. For a
+summary about the proposal, please see the `Phabricator wiki page
+<https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_a/cmake-buildsystem-proposal/>`_. As
+mentioned there, the proposal consists of two phases. The subject of this
+document is the first phase only.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+The current Makefile based buildsystem of TF-A has become complicated and hard
+to maintain, there is a need for a new, more flexible solution. The proposal is
+to use CMake language for the new buildsystem. The main reasons of this decision
+are the following:
+
+* It is a well-established, mature tool, widely accepted by open-source
+ projects.
+* TF-M is already using CMake, reducing fragmentation for tf.org projects can be
+ beneficial.
+* CMake has various advantages over Make, e.g.:
+
+ * Host and target system agnostic project.
+ * CMake project is scalable, supports project modularization.
+ * Supports software integration.
+ * Out-of-the-box support for integration with several tools (e.g. project
+ generation for various IDEs, integration with cppcheck, etc).
+
+Of course there are drawbacks too:
+
+* Language is problematic (e.g. variable scope).
+* Not embedded approach.
+
+To overcome these and other problems, we need to create workarounds for some
+tasks, wrap CMake functions, etc. Since this functionality can be useful in
+other embedded projects too, it is beneficial to collect the new code into a
+reusable framework and store this in a separate repository. The following
+diagram provides an overview of the framework structure:
+
+|Framework structure|
+
+Main features
+-------------
+
+Structured configuration description
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In the current Makefile system the build configuration description, validation,
+processing, and the target creation, source file description are mixed and
+spread across several files. One of the goals of the framework is to organize
+this.
+
+The framework provides a solution to describe the input build parameters, flags,
+macros, etc. in a structured way. It contains two utilities for this purpose:
+
+* Map: simple key-value pair implementation.
+* Group: collection of related maps.
+
+The related parameters shall be packed into a group (or "setting group"). The
+setting groups shall be defined and filled with content in config files.
+Currently the config files are created and edited manually, but later a
+configuration management tool (e.g. Kconfig) shall be used to generate these
+files. Therefore, the framework does not contain parameter validation and
+conflict checking, these shall be handled by the configuration tool.
+
+Target description
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The framework provides an API called STGT ('simple target') to describe the
+targets, i.e. what is the build output, what source files are used, what
+libraries are linked, etc. The API wraps the CMake target functions, and also
+extends the built-in functionality, it can use the setting groups described in
+the previous section. A group can be applied onto a target, i.e. a collection of
+macros, flags, etc. can be applied onto the given output executable/library.
+This provides a more granular way than the current Makefile system where most of
+these are global and applied onto each target.
+
+Compiler abstraction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Apart from the built-in CMake usage of the compiler, there are some common tasks
+that CMake does not solve (e.g. preprocessing a file). For these tasks the
+framework uses wrapper functions instead of direct calls to the compiler. This
+way it is not tied to one specific compiler.
+
+External tools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In the TF-A buildsystem some external tools are used, e.g. fiptool for image
+generation or dtc for device tree compilation. These tools have to be found
+and/or built by the framework. For this, the CMake find_package functionality is
+used, any other necessary tools can be added later.
+
+Workflow
+--------
+The following diagram demonstrates the development workflow using the framework:
+
+|Framework workflow|
+
+The process can be split into two main phases:
+
+In the provisioning phase, first we have to obtain the necessary resources, i.e.
+clone the code repository and other dependencies. Next we have to do the
+configuration, preferably using a config tool like KConfig.
+
+In the development phase first we run CMake, which will generate the buildsystem
+using the selected generator backend (currently only the Makefile generator is
+supported). After this we run the selected build tool which in turn calls the
+compiler, linker, packaging tool, etc. Finally we can run and debug the output
+executables.
+
+Usually during development only the steps in this second phase have to be
+repeated, while the provisioning phase needs to be done only once (or rarely).
+
+Example
+-------
+This is a short example for the basic framework usage.
+
+First, we create a setting group called *mem_conf* and fill it with several
+parameters. It is worth noting the difference between *CONFIG* and *DEFINE*
+types: the former is only a CMake domain option, the latter is only a C language
+macro.
+
+Next, we create a target called *fw1* and add the *mem_conf* setting group to
+it. This means that all source and header files used by the target will have all
+the parameters declared in the setting group. Then we set the target type to
+executable, and add some source files. Since the target has the parameters from
+the settings group, we can use it for conditionally adding source files. E.g.
+*dram_controller.c* will only be added if MEM_TYPE equals dram.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ group_new(NAME mem_conf)
+ group_add(NAME mem_conf TYPE DEFINE KEY MEM_SIZE VAL 1024)
+ group_add(NAME mem_conf TYPE CONFIG DEFINE KEY MEM_TYPE VAL dram)
+ group_add(NAME mem_conf TYPE CFLAG KEY -Os)
+
+ stgt_create(NAME fw1)
+ stgt_add_setting(NAME fw1 GROUPS mem_conf)
+ stgt_set_target(NAME fw1 TYPE exe)
+
+ stgt_add_src(NAME fw1 SRC
+ ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/main.c
+ )
+
+ stgt_add_src_cond(NAME fw1 KEY MEM_TYPE VAL dram SRC
+ ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/dram_controller.c
+ )

+Enhance Context Management library for EL3 firmware
+===================================================
+
+:Authors: Soby Mathew & Zelalem Aweke
+:Organization: Arm Limited
+:Contact: Soby Mathew <soby.mathew@arm.com> & Zelalem Aweke <zelalem.aweke@arm.com>
+:Status: RFC
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+
+Introduction
+------------
+The context management library in TF-A provides the basic CPU context
+initialization and management routines for use by different components
+in EL3 firmware. The original design of the library was done keeping in
+mind the 2 world switch and hence this design pattern has been extended to
+keep up with growing requirements of EL3 firmware. With the introduction
+of a new Realm world and a separate Root world for EL3 firmware, it is clear
+that this library needs to be refactored to cater for future enhancements and
+reduce chances of introducing error in code. This also aligns with the overall
+goal of reducing EL3 firmware complexity and footprint.
+
+It is expected that the suggestions below could have legacy implications and
+hence we are mainly targeting SPM/RMM based systems. It is expected that these
+legacy issues will need to be sorted out as part of implementation on a case
+by case basis.
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+The below section lays down the design principles for re-factoring the context
+management library :
+
+(1) **Decentralized model for context mgmt**
+
+ Both the Secure and Realm worlds have associated dispatcher component in
+ EL3 firmware to allow management of their respective worlds. Allowing the
+ dispatcher to own the context for their respective world and moving away
+ from a centralized policy management by context management library will
+ remove the world differentiation code in the library. This also means that
+ the library will not be responsible for CPU feature enablement for
+ Secure and Realm worlds. See point 3 and 4 for more details.
+
+ The Non Secure world does not have a dispatcher component and hence EL3
+ firmware (BL31)/context management library needs to have routines to help
+ initialize the Non Secure world context.
+
+(2) **EL3 should only initialize immediate used lower EL**
+
+ Due to the way TF-A evolved, from EL3 interacting with an S-EL1 payload to
+ SPM in S-EL2, there is some code initializing S-EL1 registers which is
+ probably redundant when SPM is present in S-EL2. As a principle, EL3
+ firmware should only initialize the next immediate lower EL in use.
+ If EL2 needs to be skipped and is not to be used at runtime, then
+ EL3 can do the bare minimal EL2 init and init EL1 to prepare for EL3 exit.
+ It is expected that this skip EL2 configuration is only needed for NS
+ world to support legacy Android deployments. It is worth removing this
+ `skip EL2 for Non Secure` config support if this is no longer used.
+
+(3) **Maintain EL3 sysregs which affect lower EL within CPU context**
+
+ The CPU context contains some EL3 sysregs and gets applied on a per-world
+ basis (eg: cptr_el3, scr_el3, zcr_el3 is part of the context
+ because different settings need to be applied between each world).
+ But this design pattern is not enforced in TF-A. It is possible to directly
+ modify EL3 sysreg dynamically during the transition between NS and Secure
+ worlds. Having multiple ways of manipulating EL3 sysregs for different
+ values between the worlds is flaky and error prone. The proposal is to
+ enforce the rule that any EL3 sysreg which can be different between worlds
+ is maintained in the CPU Context. Once the context is initialized the
+ EL3 sysreg values corresponding to the world being entered will be restored.
+
+(4) **Allow more flexibility for Dispatchers to select feature set to save and restore**
+
+ The current functions for EL2 CPU context save and restore is a single
+ function which takes care of saving and restoring all the registers for
+ EL2. This method is inflexible and it does not allow to dynamically detect
+ CPU features to select registers to save and restore. It also assumes that
+ both Realm and Secure world will have the same feature set enabled from
+ EL3 at runtime and makes it hard to enable different features for each
+ world. The framework should cater for selective save and restore of CPU
+ registers which can be controlled by the dispatcher.
+
+ For the implementation, this could mean that there is a separate assembly
+ save and restore routine corresponding to Arch feature. The memory allocation
+ within the CPU Context for each set of registers will be controlled by a
+ FEAT_xxx build option. It is a valid configuration to have
+ context memory allocated but not used at runtime based on feature detection
+ at runtime or the platform owner has decided not to enable the feature
+ for the particular world.
+
+Context Allocation and Initialization
+-------------------------------------
+
+|context_mgmt_abs|
+
+.. |context_mgmt_abs| image::
+ ../resources/diagrams/context_management_abs.png
+
+The above figure shows how the CPU context is allocated within TF-A. The
+allocation for Secure and Realm world is by the respective dispatcher. In the case
+of NS world, the context is allocated by the PSCI lib. This scheme allows TF-A
+to be built in various configurations (with or without Secure/Realm worlds) and
+will result in optimal memory footprint. The Secure and Realm world contexts are
+initialized by invoking context management library APIs which then initialize
+each world based on conditional evaluation of the security state of the
+context. The proposal here is to move the conditional initialization
+of context for Secure and Realm worlds to their respective dispatchers and
+have the library do only the common init needed. The library can export
+helpers to initialize registers corresponding to certain features but
+should not try to do different initialization between the worlds. The library
+can also export helpers for initialization of NS CPU Context since there is no
+dispatcher for that world.
+
+This implies that any world specific code in context mgmt lib should now be
+migrated to the respective "owners". To maintain compatibility with legacy, the
+current functions can be retained in the lib and perhaps define new ones for
+use by SPMD and RMMD. The details of this can be worked out during
+implementation.
+
+Introducing Root Context
+------------------------
+Till now, we have been ignoring the fact that Root world (or EL3) itself could
+have some settings which are distinct from NS/S/Realm worlds. In this case,
+Root world itself would need to maintain some sysregs settings for its own
+execution and would need to use sysregs of lower EL (eg: PAuth, pmcr) to enable
+some functionalities in EL3. The current sequence for context save and restore
+in TF-A is as given below:
+
+|context_mgmt_existing|
+
+.. |context_mgmt_existing| image::
+ ../resources/diagrams/context_mgmt_existing.png
+
+Note1: The EL3 CPU context is not a homogenous collection of EL3 sysregs but
+a collection of EL3 and some other lower EL registers. The save and restore
+is also not done homogenously but based on the objective of using the
+particular register.
+
+Note2: The EL1 context save and restore can possibly be removed when switching
+to S-EL2 as SPM can take care of saving the incoming NS EL1 context.
+
+It can be seen that the EL3 sysreg values applied while the execution is in Root
+world corresponds to the world it came from (eg: if entering EL3 from NS world,
+the sysregs correspond to the values in NS context). There is a case that EL3
+itself may have some settings to apply for various reasons. A good example for
+this is the cptr_el3 regsiter. Although FPU traps need to be disabled for
+Non Secure, Secure and Realm worlds, the EL3 execution itself may keep the trap
+enabled for the sake of robustness. Another example is, if the MTE feature
+is enabled for a particular world, this feature will be enabled for Root world
+as well when entering EL3 from that world. The firmware at EL3 may not
+be expecting this feature to be enabled and may cause unwanted side-effects
+which could be problematic. Thus it would be more robust if Root world is not
+subject to EL3 sysreg values from other worlds but maintains its own values
+which is stable and predictable throughout root world execution.
+
+There is also the case that when EL3 would like to make use of some
+Architectural feature(s) or do some security hardening, it might need
+programming of some lower EL sysregs. For example, if EL3 needs to make
+use of Pointer Authentication (PAuth) feature, it needs to program
+its own PAuth Keys during execution at EL3. Hence EL3 needs its
+own copy of PAuth registers which needs to be restored on every
+entry to EL3. A similar case can be made for DIT bit in PSTATE,
+or use of SP_EL0 for C Runtime Stack at EL3.
+
+The proposal here is to maintain a separate root world CPU context
+which gets applied for Root world execution. This is not the full
+CPU_Context, but subset of EL3 sysregs (`el3_sysreg`) and lower EL
+sysregs (`root_exc_context`) used by EL3. The save and restore
+sequence for this Root context would need to be done in
+an optimal way. The `el3_sysreg` does not need to be saved
+on EL3 Exit and possibly only some registers in `root_exc_context`
+of Root world context would need to be saved on EL3 exit (eg: SP_EL0).
+
+The new sequence for world switch including Root world context would
+be as given below :
+
+|context_mgmt_proposed|
+
+.. |context_mgmt_proposed| image::
+ ../resources/diagrams/context_mgmt_proposed.png
+
+Having this framework in place will allow Root world to make use of lower EL
+registers easily for its own purposes and also have a fixed EL3 sysreg setting
+which is not affected by the settings of other worlds. This will unify the
+Root world register usage pattern for its own execution and remove some
+of the adhoc usages in code.
+
+Conclusion
+----------
+Of all the proposals, the introduction of Root world context would likely need
+further prototyping to confirm the design and we will need to measure the
+performance and memory impact of this change. Other changes are incremental
+improvements which are thought to have negligible impact on EL3 performance.

+DRTM Proof of Concept
+=====================
+
+Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) begins a new trust environment
+by measuring and executing a protected payload.
+
+Static Root of Trust for Measurement (SRTM)/Measured Boot implementation,
+currently used by TF-A covers all firmwares, from the boot ROM to the normal
+world bootloader. As a whole, they make up the system's TCB. These boot
+measurements allow attesting to what software is running on the system and
+enable enforcing security policies.
+
+As the boot chain grows or firmware becomes dynamically extensible,
+establishing an attestable TCB becomes more challenging. DRTM provides a
+solution to this problem by allowing measurement chains to be started at
+any time. As these measurements are stored separately from the boot-time
+measurements, they reduce the size of the TCB, which helps reduce the attack
+surface and the risk of untrusted code executing, which could compromise
+the security of the system.
+
+Components
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ - **DCE-Preamble**: The DCE Preamble prepares the platform for DRTM by
+ doing any needed configuration, loading the target payload image(DLME),
+ and preparing input parameters needed by DRTM. Finally, it invokes the
+ DL Event to start the dynamic launch.
+
+ - **D-CRTM**: The D-CRTM is the trust anchor (or root of trust) for the
+ DRTM boot sequence and is where the dynamic launch starts. The D-CRTM
+ must be implemented as a trusted agent in the system. The D-CRTM
+ initializes the TPM for DRTM and prepares the environment for the next
+ stage of DRTM, the DCE. The D-CRTM measures the DCE, verifies its
+ signature, and transfers control to it.
+
+ - **DCE**: The DCE executes on an application core. The DCE verifies the
+ system’s state, measures security-critical attributes of the system,
+ prepares the memory region for the target payload, measures the payload,
+ and finally transfers control to the payload.
+
+ - **DLME**: The protected payload is referred to as the Dynamically Launched
+ Measured Environment, or DLME. The DLME begins execution in a safe state,
+ with a single thread of execution, DMA protections, and interrupts
+ disabled. The DCE provides data to the DLME that it can use to verify the
+ configuration of the system.
+
+In this proof of concept, DCE and D-CRTM are implemented in BL31 and
+DCE-Preamble and DLME are implemented in UEFI application. A DL Event is
+triggered as a SMC by DCE-Preamble and handled by D-CRTM, which launches the
+DLME via DCE.
+
+This manual provides instructions to build TF-A code with pre-buit EDK2
+and DRTM UEFI application.

+Measured Boot Design
+====================
+
+This document briefly explains the Measured-Boot design implementation
+in |TF-A|.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Measured Boot is the process of computing and securely recording hashes of code
+and critical data at each stage in the boot chain before the code/data is used.
+
+These measurements can be leveraged by other components in the system to
+implement a complete attestation system. For example, they could be used to
+enforce local attestation policies (such as releasing certain platform keys or
+not), or they could be securely sent to a remote challenger a.k.a. `verifier`
+after boot to attest to the state of the code and critical-data.
+
+Measured Boot does not authenticate the code or critical-data, but simply
+records what code/critical-data was present on the system during boot.
+
+It is assumed that BL1 is implicitly trusted (by virtue of immutability) and
+acts as the root of trust for measurement hence it is not measured.
+
+The Measured Boot implementation in TF-A supports multiple backends to securely
+store measurements mentioned below in the :ref:`Measured Boot Backends` section.
+
+Critical data
+-------------
+
+All firmware images - i.e. BLx images and their corresponding configuration
+files, if any - must be measured. In addition to that, there might be specific
+pieces of data which needs to be measured as well. These are typically different
+on each platform. They are referred to as *critical data*.
+
+Critical data for the platform can be determined using the following criteria:
+
+#. Data that influence boot flow behaviour such as -
+
+ - Configuration parameters that alter the boot flow path.
+ - Parameters that determine which firmware to load from NV-Storage to
+ SRAM/DRAM to pass the boot process successfully.
+
+#. Hardware configurations settings, debug settings and security policies
+ that need to be in a valid state for a device to maintain its security
+ posture during boot and runtime.
+#. Security-sensitive data that is being updated by hardware.
+
+Examples of Critical data:
+

+
+Measurement slot
+----------------
+
+The measurement slot resides in a Trusted Module and can be either a secure
+register or memory.
+The measurement slot is used to provide a method to cryptographically record
+(measure) images and critical data on a platform.
+The measurement slot update calculation, called an **extend** operation, is
+a one-way hash of all the previous measurements and the new measurement. It
+is the only way to change the slot value, thus no measurements can ever be
+removed or overwritten.
+
+.. _Measured Boot Backends:
+
+Measured Boot Backends
+----------------------
+
+The Measured Boot implementation in TF-A supports:
+
+#. Event Log
+
+ The TCG Event Log holds a record of measurements made into the Measurement
+ Slot aka PCR (Platform Configuration Register).
+
+ The `TCG EFI Protocol Specification`_ provides details on how to measure
+ components. The Arm document
+ `Arm® Server Base Security Guide`_ provides specific guidance for
+ measurements on an SBSA/SBBR server system. By considering these
+ specifications it is decided that -
+
+ #. Use PCR0 for images measurements.
+ #. Use PCR1 for Critical data measurements.
+
+ TCG has specified the architecture for the structure of this log in the
+ `TCG EFI Protocol Specification`_. The specification describes two event
+ log event records—the legacy, fixed size SHA1 structure called TCG_PCR_EVENT
+ and the variable length crypto agile structure called TCG_PCR_EVENT2. Event
+ Log driver implemented in TF-A covers later part.
+
+#. RSS
+
+ It is one of physical backend to extend the measurements. Please refer this
+ document :ref:`Runtime Security Subsystem (RSS)` for more details.
+
+Platform Interface
+------------------
+
+Every image which gets successfully loaded in memory (and authenticated, if
+trusted boot is enabled) then gets measured. In addition to that, platforms
+can measure any relevant piece of critical data at any point during the boot.
+The following diagram outlines the call sequence for Measured Boot platform
+interfaces invoked from generic code:
+
+.. image:: ../resources/diagrams/measured_boot_design.png
+
+These platform interfaces are used by BL1 and BL2 only, and are declared in
+``include/plat/common/platform.h``.
+BL31 does not load and thus does not measure any image.
+
+Responsibilities of these platform interfaces are -
+
+#. **Function : blx_plat_mboot_init()**
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ void bl1_plat_mboot_init(void);
+ void bl2_plat_mboot_init(void);
+
+ Initialise all Measured Boot backends supported by the platform
+ (e.g. Event Log buffer, RSS). As these functions do not return any value,
+ the platform should deal with error management, such as logging the error
+ somewhere, or panicking the system if this is considered a fatal error.
+
+ - On the Arm FVP port -
+
+ - In BL1, this function is used to initialize the Event Log backend
+ driver, and also to write header information in the Event Log
+ buffer.
+ - In BL2, this function is used to initialize the Event Log buffer with
+ the information received from the BL1. It results in panic on
+ error.
+
+#. **Function : plat_mboot_measure_image()**
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ int plat_mboot_measure_image(unsigned int image_id,
+ image_info_t *image_data);
+
+ - Measure the image using a hash function of the crypto module.
+
+ - Record the measurement in the corresponding backend -
+
+ - If it is Event Log backend, then record the measurement in TCG Event Log
+ format.
+ - If it is a secure crypto-processor (like RSS), then extend the designated
+ PCR (or slot) with the given measurement.
+ - This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
+ otherwise.
+ - On the Arm FVP port, this function measures the given image and then
+ records that measurement in the Event Log buffer.
+ The passed id is used to retrieve information about on how to measure
+ the image (e.g. PCR number).
+
+#. **Function : blx_plat_mboot_finish()**
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ void bl1_plat_mboot_finish(void);
+ void bl2_plat_mboot_finish(void);
+
+ - Do all teardown operations with respect to initialised Measured Boot backends.
+ This could be -
+
+ - Pass the Event Log details (start address and size) to Normal world or to
+ Secure World using any platform implementation way.
+ - Measure all critical data if any.
+ - As these functions do not return any value, the platform should deal with
+ error management, such as logging the error somewhere, or panicking the
+ system if this is considered a fatal error.
+
+ - On the Arm FVP port -
+
+ - In BL1, this function is used to pass the base address of
+ the Event Log buffer and its size to BL2 via tb_fw_config to extend the
+ Event Log buffer with the measurement of various images loaded by BL2.
+ It results in panic on error.
+ - In BL2, this function is used to pass the Event Log buffer information
+ (base address and size) to non-secure(BL33) and trusted OS(BL32) via
+ nt_fw and tos_fw config respectively.
+ See :ref:`DTB binding for Event Log properties` for a description of the
+ bindings used for Event Log properties.
+
+#. **Function : plat_mboot_measure_critical_data()**
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ int plat_mboot_measure_critical_data(unsigned int critical_data_id,
+ const void *base,
+ size_t size);
+
+ This interface is not invoked by the generic code and it is up to the
+ platform layer to call it where appropriate.
+
+ This function measures the given critical data structure and records its
+ measurement using the Measured Boot backend driver.
+ This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
+ otherwise.
+
+ In FVP, Non volatile counters get measured and recorded as Critical data
+ using the backend via this interface.
+
+#. **Function : plat_mboot_measure_key()**
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ int plat_mboot_measure_key(const void *pk_oid, const void *pk_ptr,
+ size_t pk_len);
+
+ - This function is used by the platform to measure the passed key and
+ publicise it using any of the supported backends.
+ - The authentication module within the trusted boot framework calls this
+ function for every ROTPK involved in verifying the signature of a root
+ certificate and for every subsidiary key that gets extracted from a key
+ certificate for later authentication of a content certificate.
+ - A cookie, passed as the first argument, serves as a key-OID pointer
+ associated with the public key data, passed as the second argument.
+ - Public key data size is passed as the third argument to this function.
+ - This function must return 0 on success, a signed integer error code
+ otherwise.
+ - In FVP platform, this function is used to calculate the hash of the given
+ key and forward this hash to RSS alongside the measurement of the image
+ which the key signs.

+Interaction between Measured Boot and an fTPM (PoC)
+===================================================
+
+Measured Boot is the process of cryptographically measuring the code and
+critical data used at boot time, for example using a TPM, so that the
+security state can be attested later.
+
+The current implementation of the driver included in |TF-A| supports several
+backends and each has a different means to store the measurements.
+This section focuses on the `TCG event log`_ backend, which stores measurements
+in secure memory.
+
+See details of :ref:`Measured Boot Design`.
+
+The driver also provides mechanisms to pass the Event Log to normal world if
+needed.
+
+This manual provides instructions to build a proof of concept (PoC) with the
+sole intention of showing how Measured Boot can be used in conjunction with
+a firmware TPM (fTPM) service implemented on top of OP-TEE.
+
+.. note::
+ The instructions given in this document are meant to be used to build
+ a PoC to show how Measured Boot on TF-A can interact with a third
+ party (f)TPM service and they try to be as general as possible. Different
+ platforms might have different needs and configurations (e.g. different
+ SHA algorithms) and they might also use different types of TPM services
+ (or even a different type of service to provide the attestation)
+ and therefore the instructions given here might not apply in such scenarios.
+
+Components
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The PoC is built on top of the `OP-TEE Toolkit`_, which has support to build
+TF-A with support for Measured Boot enabled (and run it on a Foundation Model)
+since commit cf56848.
+
+The aforementioned toolkit builds a set of images that contain all the components
+needed to test that the Event Log was properly created. One of these images will
+contain a third party fTPM service which in turn will be used to process the
+Event Log.
+
+The reason to choose OP-TEE Toolkit to build our PoC around it is mostly
+for convenience. As the fTPM service used is an OP-TEE TA, it was easy to add
+build support for it to the toolkit and then build the PoC around it.
+
+The most relevant components installed in the image that are closely related to
+Measured Boot/fTPM functionality are:
+
+ - **OP-TEE**: As stated earlier, the fTPM service used in this PoC is built as an
+ OP-TEE TA and therefore we need to include the OP-TEE OS image.
+ Support to interfacing with Measured Boot was added to version 3.9.0 of
+ OP-TEE by implementing the ``PTA_SYSTEM_GET_TPM_EVENT_LOG`` syscall, which
+ allows the former to pass a copy of the Event Log to any TA requesting it.
+ OP-TEE knows the location of the Event Log by reading the DTB bindings
+ received from TF-A. Visit :ref:`DTB binding for Event Log properties`
+ for more details on this.
+
+ - **fTPM Service**: We use a third party fTPM service in order to validate
+ the Measured Boot functionality. The chosen fTPM service is a sample
+ implementation for Aarch32 architecture included on the `ms-tpm-20-ref`_
+ reference implementation from Microsoft. The service was updated in order
+ to extend the Measured Boot Event Log at boot up and it uses the
+ aforementioned ``PTA_SYSTEM_GET_TPM_EVENT_LOG`` call to retrieve a copy
+ of the former.
+
+ .. note::
+ Arm does not provide an fTPM implementation. The fTPM service used here
+ is a third party one which has been updated to support Measured Boot
+ service as provided by TF-A. As such, it is beyond the scope of this
+ manual to test and verify the correctness of the output generated by the
+ fTPM service.
+
+ - **TPM Kernel module**: In order to interact with the fTPM service, we need
+ a kernel module to forward the request from user space to the secure world.
+
+ - `tpm2-tools`_: This is a set of tools that allow to interact with the
+ fTPM service. We use this in order to read the PCRs with the measurements.
+
+Building the PoC for the Arm FVP platform
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As mentioned before, this PoC is based on the OP-TEE Toolkit with some
+extensions to enable Measured Boot and an fTPM service. Therefore, we can rely
+on the instructions to build the original OP-TEE Toolkit. As a general rule,
+the following steps should suffice:
+
+(1) Start by following the `Get and build the solution`_ instructions to build
+ the OP-TEE toolkit. On step 3, you need to get the manifest for FVP
+ platform from the main branch:
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ $ repo init -u https://github.com/OP-TEE/manifest.git -m fvp.xml
+
+ Then proceed synching the repos as stated in step 3. Continue following
+ the instructions and stop before step 5.
+
+(2) Next you should obtain the `Armv8-A Foundation Platform (For Linux Hosts Only)`_.
+ The binary should be untar'ed to the root of the repo tree, i.e., like
+ this: ``<fvp-project>/Foundation_Platformpkg``. In the end, after cloning
+ all source code, getting the toolchains and "installing"
+ Foundation_Platformpkg, you should have a folder structure that looks like
+ this:
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ $ ls -la
+ total 80
+ drwxrwxr-x 20 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:16 .
+ drwxr-xr-x 23 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:40 ..
+ drwxrwxr-x 12 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 build
+ drwxrwxr-x 16 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:16 buildroot
+ drwxrwxr-x 51 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 edk2
+ drwxrwxr-x 6 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:14 edk2-platforms
+ drwxr-xr-x 7 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:52 Foundation_Platformpkg
+ drwxrwxr-x 17 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 2 10:40 grub
+ drwxrwxr-x 25 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 2 10:39 linux
+ drwxrwxr-x 15 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 mbedtls
+ drwxrwxr-x 6 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 ms-tpm-20-ref
+ drwxrwxr-x 8 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 optee_client
+ drwxrwxr-x 10 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 optee_examples
+ drwxrwxr-x 12 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:13 optee_os
+ drwxrwxr-x 8 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 optee_test
+ drwxrwxr-x 7 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 10:45 .repo
+ drwxrwxr-x 4 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:12 toolchains
+ drwxrwxr-x 21 tf-a_user tf-a_user 4096 Jul 1 12:15 trusted-firmware-a
+
+(3) Now enter into ``ms-tpm-20-ref`` and get its dependencies:
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ $ cd ms-tpm-20-ref
+ $ git submodule init
+ $ git submodule update
+ Submodule path 'external/wolfssl': checked out '9c87f979a7f1d3a6d786b260653d566c1d31a1c4'
+
+(4) Now, you should be able to continue with step 5 in "`Get and build the solution`_"
+ instructions. In order to enable support for Measured Boot, you need to
+ set the following build options:
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ $ MEASURED_BOOT=y MEASURED_BOOT_FTPM=y make -j `nproc`
+
+ .. note::
+ The build process will likely take a long time. It is strongly recommended to
+ pass the ``-j`` option to make to run the process faster.
+
+ After this step, you should be ready to run the image.
+
+Running and using the PoC on the Armv8-A Foundation AEM FVP
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With everything built, you can now run the image:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ make run-only
+
+.. note::
+ Using ``make run`` will build and run the image and it can be used instead
+ of simply ``make``. However, once the image is built, it is recommended to
+ use ``make run-only`` to avoid re-running all the building rules, which
+ would take time.
+
+When FVP is launched, two terminal windows will appear. ``FVP terminal_0``
+is the userspace terminal whereas ``FVP terminal_1`` is the counterpart for
+the secure world (where TAs will print their logs, for instance).
+
+Log into the image shell with user ``root``, no password will be required.
+Then we can issue the ``ftpm`` command, which is an alias that
+
+(1) loads the ftpm kernel module and
+
+(2) calls ``tpm2_pcrread``, which will access the fTPM service to read the
+ PCRs.
+
+When loading the ftpm kernel module, the fTPM TA is loaded into the secure
+world. This TA then requests a copy of the Event Log generated during the
+booting process so it can retrieve all the entries on the log and record them
+first thing.
+
+.. note::
+ For this PoC, nothing loaded after BL33 and NT_FW_CONFIG is recorded
+ in the Event Log.
+
+The secure world terminal should show the debug logs for the fTPM service,
+including all the measurements available in the Event Log as they are being
+processed:

+
+In this PoC we are only interested in PCR0, which must be non-null. This is
+because the boot process records all the images in this PCR (see field ``PCRIndex``
+on the Event Log above). The rest of the records must be 0 at this point.
+
+.. note::
+ The fTPM service used has support only for 16 PCRs, therefore the content
+ of PCRs above 15 can be ignored.
+
+.. note::
+ As stated earlier, Arm does not provide an fTPM implementation and therefore
+ we do not validate here if the content of PCR0 is correct or not. For this
+ PoC, we are only focused on the fact that the event log could be passed to a third
+ party fTPM and its records were properly extended.
+
+Fine-tuning the fTPM TA
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As stated earlier, the OP-TEE Toolkit includes support to build a third party fTPM
+service. The build options for this service are tailored for the PoC and defined in
+the build environment variable ``FTPM_FLAGS`` (see ``<toolkit_home>/build/common.mk``)
+but they can be modified if needed to better adapt it to a specific scenario.
+
+The most relevant options for Measured Boot support are:
+
+ - **CFG_TA_DEBUG**: Enables debug logs in the Terminal_1 console.
+ - **CFG_TEE_TA_LOG_LEVEL**: Defines the log level used for the debug messages.
+ - **CFG_TA_MEASURED_BOOT**: Enables support for measured boot on the fTPM.
+ - **CFG_TA_EVENT_LOG_SIZE**: Defines the size, in bytes, of the larger event log that
+ the fTPM is able to store, as this buffer is allocated at build time. This must be at
+ least the same as the size of the event log generated by TF-A. If this build option
+ is not defined, the fTPM falls back to a default value of 1024 bytes, which is enough
+ for this PoC, so this variable is not defined in FTPM_FLAGS.

+Introduction
+------------
+
+Power state coordination
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A power domain topology is a logical hierarchy of power domains in a system that
+arises from the physical dependencies between power domains.
+
+Local power states describe power states for an individual node, and composite
+power states describe the combined power states for an individual node and its
+parent node(s).
+
+Entry into low-power states for a topology node above the core level requires
+coordinating its children nodes. For example, in a system with a power domain
+that encompasses a shared cache, and a separate power domain for each core that
+uses the shared cache, the core power domains must be powered down before the
+shared cache power domain can be powered down.
+
+PSCI supports two modes of power state coordination: platform-coordinated and
+OS-initiated.
+
+Platform-coordinated
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Platform-coordinated mode is the default mode of power state coordination, and
+is currently the only supported mode in TF-A.
+
+In platform-coordinated mode, the platform is responsible for coordinating power
+states, and chooses the deepest power state for a topology node that can be
+tolerated by its children.
+
+OS-initiated
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+OS-initiated mode is optional.
+
+In OS-initiated mode, the calling OS is responsible for coordinating power
+states, and may request for a topology node to enter a low-power state when
+its last child enters the low-power state.
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+There are two reasons why OS-initiated mode might be a more suitable option than
+platform-coordinated mode for a platform.
+
+Scalability
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In platform-coordinated mode, each core independently selects their own local
+power states, and doesn't account for composite power states that are shared
+between cores.
+
+In OS-initiated mode, the OS has knowledge of the next wakeup event for each
+core, and can have more precise control over the entry, exit, and wakeup
+latencies when deciding if a composite power state (e.g. for a cluster) is
+appropriate. This is especially important for multi-cluster SMP systems and
+heterogeneous systems like big.LITTLE, where different processor types can have
+different power efficiencies.
+
+Simplicity
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In platform-coordinated mode, the OS doesn't have visibility when the last core
+at a power level enters a low-power state. If the OS wants to perform last man
+activity (e.g. powering off a shared resource when it is no longer needed), it
+would have to communicate with an API side channel to know when it can do so.
+This could result in a design smell where the platform is using
+platform-coordinated mode when it should be using OS-initiated mode instead.
+
+In OS-initiated mode, the OS can perform last man activity if it selects a
+composite power state when the last core enters a low-power state. This
+eliminates the need for a side channel, and uses the well documented API between
+the OS and the platform.
+
+Current vendor implementations and workarounds
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* STMicroelectronics
+
+ * For their ARM32 platforms, they're using OS-initiated mode implemented in
+ OP-TEE.
+ * For their future ARM64 platforms, they are interested in using OS-initiated
+ mode in TF-A.
+
+* Qualcomm
+
+ * For their mobile platforms, they're using OS-initiated mode implemented in
+ their own custom secure monitor firmware.
+ * For their Chrome OS platforms, they're using platform-coordinated mode in
+ TF-A with custom driver logic to perform last man activity.
+
+* Google
+
+ * They're using platform-coordinated mode in TF-A with custom driver logic to
+ perform last man activity.
+
+Both Qualcomm and Google would like to be able to use OS-initiated mode in TF-A
+in order to simplify custom driver logic.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+PSCI_FEATURES
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+PSCI_FEATURES is for checking whether or not a PSCI function is implemented and
+what its properties are.
+
+.. c:macro:: PSCI_FEATURES
+
+ :param func_id: 0x8400_000A.
+ :param psci_func_id: the function ID of a PSCI function.
+ :retval NOT_SUPPORTED: if the function is not implemented.
+ :retval feature flags associated with the function: if the function is
+ implemented.
+
+CPU_SUSPEND feature flags
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Reserved, bits[31:2]
+* Power state parameter format, bit[1]
+
+ * A value of 0 indicates the original format is used.
+ * A value of 1 indicates the extended format is used.
+
+* OS-initiated mode, bit[0]
+
+ * A value of 0 indicates OS-initiated mode is not supported.
+ * A value of 1 indicates OS-initiated mode is supported.
+
+See sections 5.1.14 and 5.15 of the PSCI spec (DEN0022D.b) for more details.
+
+PSCI_SET_SUSPEND_MODE
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+PSCI_SET_SUSPEND_MODE is for switching between the two different modes of power
+state coordination.
+
+.. c:macro:: PSCI_SET_SUSPEND_MODE
+
+ :param func_id: 0x8400_000F.
+ :param mode: 0 indicates platform-coordinated mode, 1 indicates OS-initiated
+ mode.
+ :retval SUCCESS: if the request is successful.
+ :retval NOT_SUPPORTED: if OS-initiated mode is not supported.
+ :retval INVALID_PARAMETERS: if the requested mode is not a valid value (0 or
+ 1).
+ :retval DENIED: if the cores are not in the correct state.
+
+Switching from platform-coordinated to OS-initiated is only allowed if the
+following conditions are met:
+
+* All cores are in one of the following states:
+
+ * Running.
+ * Off, through a call to CPU_OFF or not yet booted.
+ * Suspended, through a call to CPU_DEFAULT_SUSPEND.
+
+* None of the cores has called CPU_SUSPEND since the last change of mode or
+ boot.
+
+Switching from OS-initiated to platform-coordinated is only allowed if all cores
+other than the calling core are off, either through a call to CPU_OFF or not yet
+booted.
+
+If these conditions are not met, the PSCI implementation must return DENIED.
+
+See sections 5.1.19 and 5.20 of the PSCI spec (DEN0022D.b) for more details.
+
+CPU_SUSPEND
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+CPU_SUSPEND is for moving a topology node into a low-power state.
+
+.. c:macro:: CPU_SUSPEND
+
+ :param func_id: 0xC400_0001.
+ :param power_state: the requested low-power state to enter.
+ :param entry_point_address: the address at which the core must resume
+ execution following wakeup from a powerdown state.
+ :param context_id: this field specifies a pointer to the saved context that
+ must be restored on a core following wakeup from a powerdown state.
+ :retval SUCCESS: if the request is successful.
+ :retval INVALID_PARAMETERS: in OS-initiated mode, this error is returned when
+ a low-power state is requested for a topology node above the core level,
+ and at least one of the node's children is in a local low-power state
+ that is incompatible with the request.
+ :retval INVALID_ADDRESS: if the entry_point_address argument is invalid.
+ :retval DENIED: only in OS-initiated mode; this error is returned when a
+ low-power state is requested for a topology node above the core level,
+ and at least one of the node's children is running, i.e. not in a
+ low-power state.
+
+In platform-coordinated mode, the PSCI implementation coordinates requests from
+all cores to determine the deepest power state to enter.
+
+In OS-initiated mode, the calling OS is making an explicit request for a
+specific power state, as opposed to expressing a vote. The PSCI implementation
+must comply with the request, unless the request is not consistent with the
+implementation's view of the system's state, in which case, the implementation
+must return INVALID_PARAMETERS or DENIED.
+
+See sections 5.1.2 and 5.4 of the PSCI spec (DEN0022D.b) for more details.
+
+Power state formats
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Original format
+
+* Power Level, bits[25:24]
+
+ * The requested level in the power domain topology to enter a low-power
+ state.
+
+* State Type, bit[16]
+
+ * A value of 0 indicates a standby or retention state.
+ * A value of 1 indicates a powerdown state.
+
+* State ID, bits[15:0]
+
+ * Field to specify the requested composite power state.
+ * The state ID encodings must uniquely describe every possible composite
+ power state.
+ * In OS-initiated mode, the state ID encoding must allow expressing the
+ power level at which the calling core is the last to enter a powerdown
+ state.
+
+Extended format
+
+* State Type, bit[30]
+* State ID, bits[27:0]
+
+Races in OS-initiated mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In OS-initiated mode, there are race windows where the OS's view and
+implementation's view of the system's state differ. It is possible for the OS to
+make requests that are invalid given the implementation's view of the system's
+state. For example, the OS might request a powerdown state for a node from one
+core, while at the same time, the implementation observes that another core in
+that node is powering up.
+
+To address potential race conditions in power state requests:
+
+* The calling OS must specify in each CPU_SUSPEND request the deepest power
+ level for which it sees the calling core as the last running core (last man).
+ This is required even if the OS doesn't want the node at that power level to
+ enter a low-power state.
+* The implementation must validate that the requested power states in the
+ CPU_SUSPEND request are consistent with the system's state, and that the
+ calling core is the last core running at the requested power level, or deny
+ the request otherwise.
+
+See sections 4.2.3.2, 6.2, and 6.3 of the PSCI spec (DEN0022D.b) for more
+details.
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+CPU_OFF
+^^^^^^^
+
+CPU_OFF is always platform-coordinated, regardless of whether the power state
+coordination mode for suspend is platform-coordinated or OS-initiated. If all
+cores in a topology node call CPU_OFF, the last core will power down the node.
+
+In OS-initiated mode, if a subset of the cores in a topology node has called
+CPU_OFF, the last running core may call CPU_SUSPEND to request a powerdown state
+at or above that node's power level.
+
+See section 5.5.2 of the PSCI spec (DEN0022D.b) for more details.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+Current implementation of platform-coordinated mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Platform-coordinated is currently the only supported power state coordination
+mode in TF-A.
+
+The functions of interest in the ``psci_cpu_suspend`` call stack are as follows:
+
+* ``psci_validate_power_state``
+
+ * This function calls a platform specific ``validate_power_state`` handler,
+ which takes the ``power_state`` parameter, and updates the ``state_info``
+ object with the requested states for each power level.
+
+* ``psci_find_target_suspend_lvl``
+
+ * This function takes the ``state_info`` object containing the requested power
+ states for each power level, and returns the deepest power level that was
+ requested to enter a low power state, i.e. the target power level.
+
+* ``psci_do_state_coordination``
+
+ * This function takes the target power level and the ``state_info`` object
+ containing the requested power states for each power level, and updates the
+ ``state_info`` object with the coordinated target power state for each
+ level.
+
+* ``pwr_domain_suspend``
+
+ * This is a platform specific handler that takes the ``state_info`` object
+ containing the target power states for each power level, and transitions
+ each power level to the specified power state.
+
+Proposed implementation of OS-initiated mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To add support for OS-initiated mode, the following changes are proposed:
+
+* Add a boolean build option ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE`` for a platform to enable
+ optional support for PSCI OS-initiated mode. This build option defaults to 0.
+
+.. note::
+
+ If ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE=0``, the following changes will not be compiled into
+ the build.
+
+* Update ``psci_features`` to return 1 in bit[0] to indicate support for
+ OS-initiated mode for CPU_SUSPEND.
+* Define a ``suspend_mode`` enum: ``PLAT_COORD`` and ``OS_INIT``.
+* Define a ``psci_suspend_mode`` global variable with a default value of
+ ``PLAT_COORD``.
+* Implement a new function handler ``psci_set_suspend_mode`` for
+ PSCI_SET_SUSPEND_MODE.
+* Since ``psci_validate_power_state`` calls a platform specific
+ ``validate_power_state`` handler, the platform implementation should populate
+ the ``state_info`` object based on the state ID from the given ``power_state``
+ parameter.
+* ``psci_find_target_suspend_lvl`` remains unchanged.
+* Implement a new function ``psci_validate_state_coordination`` that ensures the
+ request satisfies the following conditions, and denies any requests
+ that don't:
+
+ * The requested power states for each power level are consistent with the
+ system's state
+ * The calling core is the last core running at the requested power level
+
+ This function differs from ``psci_do_state_coordination`` in that:
+
+ * The ``psci_req_local_pwr_states`` map is not modified if the request were to
+ be denied
+ * The ``state_info`` argument is never modified since it contains the power
+ states requested by the calling OS
+
+* Update ``psci_cpu_suspend_start`` to do the following:
+
+ * If ``PSCI_SUSPEND_MODE`` is ``PLAT_COORD``, call
+ ``psci_do_state_coordination``.
+ * If ``PSCI_SUSPEND_MODE`` is ``OS_INIT``, call
+ ``psci_validate_state_coordination``. If validation fails, propagate the
+ error up the call stack.
+
+* Add a new optional member ``pwr_domain_validate_suspend`` to
+ ``plat_psci_ops_t`` to allow the platform to optionally perform validations

+Runtime Security Subsystem (RSS)
+================================
+
+This document focuses on the relationship between the Runtime Security Subsystem
+(RSS) and the application processor (AP). According to the ARM reference design
+the RSS is an independent core next to the AP and the SCP on the same die. It
+provides fundamental security guarantees and runtime services for the rest of
+the system (e.g.: trusted boot, measured boot, platform attestation,
+key management, and key derivation).
+
+At power up RSS boots first from its private ROM code. It validates and loads
+its own images and the initial images of SCP and AP. When AP and SCP are
+released from reset and their initial code is loaded then they continue their
+own boot process, which is the same as on non-RSS systems. Please refer to the
+``RSS documentation`` [1]_ for more details about the RSS boot flow.
+
+The last stage of the RSS firmware is a persistent, runtime component. Much
+like AP_BL31, this is a passive entity which has no periodical task to do and
+just waits for external requests from other subsystems. RSS and other
+subsystems can communicate with each other over message exchange. RSS waits
+in idle for the incoming request, handles them, and sends a response then goes
+back to idle.
+
+RSS communication layer
+-----------------------
+
+The communication between RSS and other subsystems are primarily relying on the
+Message Handling Unit (MHU) module. The number of MHU interfaces between RSS
+and other cores is IMPDEF. Besides MHU other modules also could take part in
+the communication. RSS is capable of mapping the AP memory to its address space.
+Thereby either RSS core itself or a DMA engine if it is present, can move the
+data between memory belonging to RSS or AP. In this way, a bigger amount of data
+can be transferred in a short time.
+
+The MHU comes in pairs. There is a sender and receiver side. They are connected
+to each other. An MHU interface consists of two pairs of MHUs, one sender and
+one receiver on both sides. Bidirectional communication is possible over an
+interface. One pair provides message sending from AP to RSS and the other pair
+from RSS to AP. The sender and receiver are connected via channels. There is an
+IMPDEF number of channels (e.g: 4-16) between a sender and a receiver module.
+
+The RSS communication layer provides two ways for message exchange:
+
+- ``Embedded messaging``: The full message, including header and payload, are
+ exchanged over the MHU channels. A channel is capable of delivering a single
+ word. The sender writes the data to the channel register on its side and the
+ receiver can read the data from the channel on the other side. One dedicated
+ channel is used for signalling. It does not deliver any payload it is just
+ meant for signalling that the sender loaded the data to the channel registers
+ so the receiver can read them. The receiver uses the same channel to signal
+ that data was read. Signalling happens via IRQ. If the message is longer than
+ the data fit to the channel registers then the message is sent over in
+ multiple rounds. Both, sender and receiver allocate a local buffer for the
+ messages. Data is copied from/to these buffers to/from the channel registers.
+- ``Pointer-access messaging``: The message header and the payload are
+ separated and they are conveyed in different ways. The header is sent
+ over the channels, similar to the embedded messaging but the payload is
+ copied over by RSS core (or by DMA) between the sender and the receiver. This
+ could be useful in the case of long messages because transaction time is less
+ compared to the embedded messaging mode. Small payloads are copied by the RSS
+ core because setting up DMA would require more CPU cycles. The payload is
+ either copied into an internal buffer or directly read-written by RSS. Actual
+ behavior depends on RSS setup, whether the partition supports memory-mapped
+ ``iovec``. Therefore, the sender must handle both cases and prevent access to
+ the memory, where payload data lives, while the RSS handles the request.
+
+The RSS communication layer supports both ways of messaging in parallel. It is
+decided at runtime based on the message size which way to transfer the message.

+
+- ``include/drivers/arm/rss_comms.h``
+- ``include/drivers/arm/mhu.h``
+
+RSS provided runtime services
+-----------------------------
+
+RSS provides the following runtime services:
+
+- ``Measured boot``: Securely store the firmware measurements which were
+ computed during the boot process and the associated metadata (image
+ description, measurement algorithm, etc.). More info on measured boot service
+ in RSS can be found in the ``measured_boot_integration_guide`` [3]_ .
+- ``Delegated attestation``: Query the platform attestation token and derive a
+ delegated attestation key. More info on the delegated attestation service
+ in RSS can be found in the ``delegated_attestation_integration_guide`` [4]_ .
+- ``OTP assets management``: Public keys used by AP during the trusted boot
+ process can be requested from RSS. Furthermore, AP can request RSS to
+ increase a non-volatile counter. Please refer to the
+ ``RSS key management`` [5]_ document for more details.
+
+Runtime service API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The RSS provided runtime services implement a PSA aligned API. The parameter
+encoding follows the PSA client protocol described in the
+``Firmware Framework for M`` [6]_ document in chapter 4.4. The implementation is
+restricted to the static handle use case therefore only the ``psa_call`` API is
+implemented.

+RSS based Measured Boot
+-----------------------
+
+Measured Boot is the process of cryptographically measuring (computing the hash
+value of a binary) the code and critical data used at boot time. The
+measurement must be stored in a tamper-resistant way, so the security state
+of the device can be attested later to an external party. RSS provides a runtime
+service which is meant to store measurements and associated metadata alongside.
+
+Data is stored in internal SRAM which is only accessible by the secure runtime
+firmware of RSS. Data is stored in so-called measurement slots. A platform has
+IMPDEF number of measurement slots. The measurement storage follows extend
+semantics. This means that measurements are not stored directly (as it was
+taken) instead they contribute to the current value of the measurement slot.
+The extension implements this logic, where ``||`` stands for concatenation:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ new_value_of_measurement_slot = Hash(old_value_of_measurement_slot || measurement)
+
+Supported hash algorithms: sha-256, sha-512
+
+Measured Boot API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Defined here:
+
+- ``include/lib/psa/measured_boot.h``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ psa_status_t
+ rss_measured_boot_extend_measurement(uint8_t index,
+ const uint8_t *signer_id,
+ size_t signer_id_size,
+ const uint8_t *version,
+ size_t version_size,
+ uint32_t measurement_algo,
+ const uint8_t *sw_type,
+ size_t sw_type_size,
+ const uint8_t *measurement_value,
+ size_t measurement_value_size,
+ bool lock_measurement);
+
+Measured Boot Metadata
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following metadata can be stored alongside the measurement:
+
+- ``Signer-id``: Mandatory. The hash of the firmware image signing public key.
+- ``Measurement algorithm``: Optional. The hash algorithm which was used to
+ compute the measurement (e.g.: sha-256, etc.).
+- ``Version info``: Optional. The firmware version info (e.g.: 2.7).
+- ``SW type``: Optional. Short text description (e.g.: BL1, BL2, BL31, etc.)
+
+.. Note::
+ Version info is not implemented in TF-A yet.
+
+
+The caller must specify in which measurement slot to extend a certain
+measurement and metadata. A measurement slot can be extended by multiple
+measurements. The default value is IMPDEF. All measurement slot is cleared at
+reset, there is no other way to clear them. In the reference implementation,
+the measurement slots are initialized to 0. At the first call to extend the
+measurement in a slot, the extend operation uses the default value of the
+measurement slot. All upcoming extend operation on the same slot contributes
+to the previous value of that measurement slot.
+
+The following rules are kept when a slot is extended multiple times:
+
+- ``Signer-id`` must be the same as the previous call(s), otherwise a
+ PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED error code is returned.
+
+- ``Measurement algorithm``: must be the same as the previous call(s),
+ otherwise, a PSA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED error code is returned.
+
+In case of error no further action is taken (slot is not locked). If there is
+a valid data in a sub-sequent call then measurement slot will be extended. The
+rest of the metadata is handled as follows when a measurement slot is extended
+multiple times:
+
+- ``SW type``: Cleared.
+- ``Version info``: Cleared.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ Extending multiple measurements in the same slot leads to some metadata
+ information loss. Since RSS is not constrained on special HW resources to
+ store the measurements and metadata, therefore it is worth considering to
+ store all of them one by one in distinct slots. However, they are one-by-one
+ included in the platform attestation token. So, the number of distinct
+ firmware image measurements has an impact on the size of the attestation
+ token.
+
+The allocation of the measurement slot among RSS, Root and Realm worlds is
+platform dependent. The platform must provide an allocation of the measurement
+slot at build time. An example can be found in
+``tf-a/plat/arm/board/tc/tc_bl1_measured_boot.c``
+Furthermore, the memory, which holds the metadata is also statically allocated
+in RSS memory. Some of the fields have a static value (measurement algorithm),
+and some of the values have a dynamic value (measurement value) which is updated
+by the bootloaders when the firmware image is loaded and measured. The metadata
+structure is defined in
+``include/drivers/measured_boot/rss/rss_measured_boot.h``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rss_mboot_metadata {
+ unsigned int id;
+ uint8_t slot;
+ uint8_t signer_id[SIGNER_ID_MAX_SIZE];
+ size_t signer_id_size;
+ uint8_t version[VERSION_MAX_SIZE];
+ size_t version_size;
+ uint8_t sw_type[SW_TYPE_MAX_SIZE];
+ size_t sw_type_size;
+ void *pk_oid;
+ bool lock_measurement;
+ };
+
+Signer-ID API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This function calculates the hash of a public key (signer-ID) using the
+``Measurement algorithm`` and stores it in the ``rss_mboot_metadata`` field
+named ``signer_id``.
+Prior to calling this function, the caller must ensure that the ``signer_id``
+field points to the zero-filled buffer.
+
+Defined here:
+
+- ``include/drivers/measured_boot/rss/rss_measured_boot.h``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int rss_mboot_set_signer_id(struct rss_mboot_metadata *metadata_ptr,
+ const void *pk_oid,
+ const void *pk_ptr,
+ size_t pk_len)
+
+
+- First parameter is the pointer to the ``rss_mboot_metadata`` structure.
+- Second parameter is the pointer to the key-OID of the public key.
+- Third parameter is the pointer to the public key buffer.
+- Fourth parameter is the size of public key buffer.
+- This function returns 0 on success, a signed integer error code
+ otherwise.
+
+Build time config options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Enable measured boot. It depends on the platform
+ implementation whether RSS or TPM (or both) backend based measured boot is
+ enabled.
+- ``MBOOT_RSS_HASH_ALG``: Determine the hash algorithm to measure the images.
+ The default value is sha-256.

+Delegated Attestation
+---------------------
+
+Delegated Attestation Service was mainly developed to support the attestation
+flow on the ``ARM Confidential Compute Architecture`` (ARM CCA) [7]_.
+The detailed description of the delegated attestation service can be found in
+the ``Delegated Attestation Service Integration Guide`` [4]_ document.
+
+In the CCA use case, the Realm Management Monitor (RMM) relies on the delegated
+attestation service of the RSS to get a realm attestation key and the CCA
+platform token. BL31 does not use the service for its own purpose, only calls
+it on behalf of RMM. The access to MHU interface and thereby to RSS is
+restricted to BL31 only. Therefore, RMM does not have direct access, all calls
+need to go through BL31. The RMM dispatcher module of the BL31 is responsible
+for delivering the calls between the two parties.
+
+.. Note::
+ Currently the connection between the RMM dispatcher and the PSA/RSS layer
+ is not yet implemented. RMM dispatcher just returns hard coded data.

+RSS OTP Assets Management
+-------------------------
+
+RSS provides access for AP to assets in OTP, which include keys for image
+signature verification and non-volatile counters for anti-rollback protection.
+
+Non-Volatile Counter API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+AP/RSS interface for retrieving and incrementing non-volatile counters API is
+as follows.
+
+Defined here:
+
+- ``include/lib/psa/rss_platform_api.h``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ psa_status_t rss_platform_nv_counter_increment(uint32_t counter_id)
+
+ psa_status_t rss_platform_nv_counter_read(uint32_t counter_id,
+ uint32_t size, uint8_t *val)
+
+Through this service, we can read/increment any of the 3 non-volatile
+counters used on an Arm CCA platform:
+
+- ``Non-volatile counter for CCA firmware (BL2, BL31, RMM).``
+- ``Non-volatile counter for secure firmware.``
+- ``Non-volatile counter for non-secure firmware.``
+
+Public Key API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+AP/RSS interface for reading the ROTPK is as follows.
+
+Defined here:
+
+- ``include/lib/psa/rss_platform_api.h``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ psa_status_t rss_platform_key_read(enum rss_key_id_builtin_t key,
+ uint8_t *data, size_t data_size, size_t *data_length)
+
+Through this service, we can read any of the 3 ROTPKs used on an
+Arm CCA platform:
+
+- ``ROTPK for CCA firmware (BL2, BL31, RMM).``
+- ``ROTPK for secure firmware.``
+- ``ROTPK for non-secure firmware.``
