 RMM-EL3 Communication interface
 *******************************

 This document defines the communication interface between RMM and EL3.
 There are two parts in this interface: the boot interface and the runtime
 interface.

 The Boot Interface defines the ABI between EL3 and RMM when the CPU enters
 R-EL2 for the first time after boot. The cold boot interface defines the ABI
 for the cold boot path and the warm boot interface defines the same for the
 warm path.

 The RMM-EL3 runtime interface defines the ABI for EL3 services which can be
 invoked by RMM as well as the register save-restore convention when handling an
 SMC call from NS.

 The below sections discuss these interfaces more in detail.

 .. _rmm_el3_ifc_versioning:

 RMM-EL3 Interface versioning
 ____________________________

 The RMM Boot and Runtime Interface uses a version number to check
 compatibility with the register arguments passed as part of Boot Interface and
 RMM-EL3 runtime interface.

 The Boot Manifest, discussed later in section :ref:`rmm_el3_boot_manifest`,
 uses a separate version number but with the same scheme.

 The version number is a 32-bit type with the following fields:

 .. csv-table::
    :header: "Bits", "Value"

    [0:15],``VERSION_MINOR``
    [16:30],``VERSION_MAJOR``
    [31],RES0

 The version numbers are sequentially increased and the rules for updating them
 are explained below:

   - ``VERSION_MAJOR``: This value is increased when changes break
     compatibility with previous versions. If the changes
     on the ABI are compatible with the previous one, ``VERSION_MAJOR``
     remains unchanged.

   - ``VERSION_MINOR``: This value is increased on any change that is backwards
     compatible with the previous version. When ``VERSION_MAJOR`` is increased,
     ``VERSION_MINOR`` must be set to 0.

   - ``RES0``: Bit 31 of the version number is reserved 0 as to maintain
     consistency with the versioning schemes used in other parts of RMM.

 This document specifies the 0.1 version of Boot Interface ABI and RMM-EL3
 services specification and the 0.1 version of the Boot Manifest.

 .. _rmm_el3_boot_interface:

 RMM Boot Interface
 __________________

 This section deals with the Boot Interface part of the specification.

 One of the goals of the Boot Interface is to allow EL3 firmware to pass
 down into RMM certain platform specific information dynamically. This allows
 RMM to be less platform dependent and be more generic across platform
 variations. It also allows RMM to be decoupled from the other boot loader
 images in the boot sequence and remain agnostic of any particular format used
 for configuration files.

 The Boot Interface ABI defines a set of register conventions and
 also a memory based manifest file to pass information from EL3 to RMM. The
 boot manifest and the associated platform data in it can be dynamically created
 by EL3 and there is no restriction on how the data can be obtained (e.g by DTB,
 hoblist or other).

 The register convention and the manifest are versioned separately to manage
 future enhancements and compatibility.

 RMM completes the boot by issuing the ``RMM_BOOT_COMPLETE`` SMC (0xC40001CF)
 back to EL3. After the RMM has finished the boot process, it can only be
 entered from EL3 as part of RMI handling.

 If RMM returns an error during boot (in any CPU), then RMM must not be entered
 from any CPU.

 .. _rmm_cold_boot_interface:

 Cold Boot Interface
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 During cold boot RMM expects the following register values:

 .. csv-table::
    :header: "Register", "Value"
    :widths: 1, 5

    x0,Linear index of this PE. This index starts from 0 and must be less than the maximum number of CPUs to be supported at runtime (see x2).
    x1,Version for this Boot Interface as defined in :ref:`rmm_el3_ifc_versioning`.
    x2,Maximum number of CPUs to be supported at runtime. RMM should ensure that it can support this maximum number.
    x3,Base address for the shared buffer used for communication between EL3 firmware and RMM. This buffer must be of 4KB size (1 page). The boot manifest must be present at the base of this shared buffer during cold boot.

 During cold boot, EL3 firmware needs to allocate a 4K page that will be
 passed to RMM in x3. This memory will be used as shared buffer for communication
 between EL3 and RMM. It must be assigned to Realm world and must be mapped with
 Normal memory attributes (IWB-OWB-ISH) at EL3. At boot, this memory will be
 used to populate the Boot Manifest. Since the Boot Manifest can be accessed by
 RMM prior to enabling its MMU, EL3 must ensure that proper cache maintenance
 operations are performed after the Boot Manifest is populated.

 EL3 should also ensure that this shared buffer is always available for use by RMM
 during the lifetime of the system and that it can be used for runtime
 communication between RMM and EL3. For example, when RMM invokes attestation
 service commands in EL3, this buffer can be used to exchange data between RMM
 and EL3. It is also allowed for RMM to invoke runtime services provided by EL3
 utilizing this buffer during the boot phase, prior to return back to EL3 via
 RMM_BOOT_COMPLETE SMC.

 RMM should map this memory page into its Stage 1 page-tables using Normal
 memory attributes.

 During runtime, it is the RMM which initiates any communication with EL3. If that
 communication requires the use of the shared area, it is expected that RMM needs
 to do the necessary concurrency protection to prevent the use of the same buffer
 by other PEs.

 The following sequence diagram shows how a generic EL3 Firmware would boot RMM.

 .. image:: ../resources/diagrams/rmm_cold_boot_generic.png

 Warm Boot Interface
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 At warm boot, RMM is already initialized and only some per-CPU initialization
 is still pending. The only argument that is required by RMM at this stage is
 the CPU Id, which will be passed through register x0 whilst x1 to x3 are RES0.
 This is summarized in the following table:

 .. csv-table::
    :header: "Register", "Value"
    :widths: 1, 5

    x0,Linear index of this PE. This index starts from 0 and must be less than the maximum number of CPUs to be supported at runtime (see x2).
    x1 - x3,RES0

 Boot error handling and return values
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 After boot up and initialization, RMM returns control back to EL3 through a
 ``RMM_BOOT_COMPLETE`` SMC call. The only argument of this SMC call will
 be returned in x1 and it will encode a signed integer with the error reason
 as per the following table:

 .. csv-table::
    :header: "Error code", "Description", "ID"
    :widths: 2 4 1

    ``E_RMM_BOOT_SUCCESS``,Boot successful,0
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_ERR_UNKNOWN``,Unknown error,-1
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_VERSION_NOT_VALID``,Boot Interface version reported by EL3 is not supported by RMM,-2
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_CPUS_OUT_OF_RAGE``,Number of CPUs reported by EL3 larger than maximum supported by RMM,-3
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_CPU_ID_OUT_OF_RAGE``,Current CPU Id is higher or equal than the number of CPUs supported by RMM,-4
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_INVALID_SHARED_BUFFER``,Invalid pointer to shared memory area,-5
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_MANIFEST_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED``,Version reported by the boot manifest not supported by RMM,-6
    ``E_RMM_BOOT_MANIFEST_DATA_ERROR``,Error parsing core boot manifest,-7

 For any error detected in RMM during cold or warm boot, RMM will return back to
 EL3 using ``RMM_BOOT_COMPLETE`` SMC with an appropriate error code. It is
 expected that EL3 will take necessary action to disable Realm world for further
 entry from NS Host on receiving an error. This will be done across all the PEs
 in the system so as to present a symmetric view to the NS Host. Any further
 warm boot by any PE should not enter RMM using the warm boot interface.

 .. _rmm_el3_boot_manifest:

 Boot Manifest
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 During cold boot, EL3 Firmware passes a memory boot manifest to RMM containing
 platform information.

 This boot manifest is versioned independently of the boot interface, to help
 evolve the boot manifest independent of the rest of Boot Manifest.
 The current version for the boot manifest is ``v0.1`` and the rules explained
 in :ref:`rmm_el3_ifc_versioning` apply on this version as well.

 The boot manifest is divided into two different components:

    - Core Manifest: This is the generic parameters passed to RMM by EL3 common to all platforms.
    - Platform data: This is defined by the platform owner and contains information specific to that platform.

 For the current version of the manifest, the core manifest contains a pointer
 to the platform data. EL3 must ensure that the whole boot manifest,
 including the platform data, if available, fits inside the RMM EL3 shared
 buffer.

 For the type specification of the RMM Boot Manifest v0.1, refer to
 :ref:`rmm_el3_manifest_struct`

 .. _runtime_services_and_interface:

 RMM-EL3 Runtime Interface
 __________________________

 This section defines the RMM-EL3 runtime interface which specifies the ABI for
 EL3 services expected by RMM at runtime as well as the register save and
 restore convention between EL3 and RMM as part of RMI call handling. It is
 important to note that RMM is allowed to invoke EL3-RMM runtime interface
 services during the boot phase as well. The EL3 runtime service handling must
 not result in a world switch to another world unless specified. Both the RMM
 and EL3 are allowed to make suitable optimizations based on this assumption.

 If the interface requires the use of memory, then the memory references should
 be within the shared buffer communicated as part of the boot interface. See
 :ref:`rmm_cold_boot_interface` for properties of this shared buffer which both
 EL3 and RMM must adhere to.

 RMM-EL3 runtime service return codes
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The return codes from EL3 to RMM is a 32 bit signed integer which encapsulates
 error condition as described in the following table:

 .. csv-table::
    :header: "Error code", "Description", "ID"
    :widths: 2 4 1

    ``E_RMM_OK``,No errors detected,0
    ``E_RMM_UNK``,Unknown/Generic error,-1
    ``E_RMM_BAD_ADDR``,The value of an address used as argument was invalid,-2
    ``E_RMM_BAD_PAS``,Incorrect PAS,-3
    ``E_RMM_NOMEM``,Not enough memory to perform an operation,-4
    ``E_RMM_INVAL``,The value of an argument was invalid,-5

 If multiple failure conditions are detected in an RMM to EL3 command, then EL3
 is allowed to return an error code corresponding to any of the failure
 conditions.

 RMM-EL3 runtime services
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The following table summarizes the RMM runtime services that need to be
 implemented by EL3 Firmware.

 .. csv-table::

 RMM-EL3 world switch register save restore convention
 _____________________________________________________

 As part of NS world switch, EL3 is expected to maintain a register context
 specific to each world and will save and restore the registers
 appropriately. This section captures the contract between EL3 and RMM on the
 register set to be saved and restored.

 EL3 must maintain a separate register context for the following:

    #. General purpose registers (x0-x30) and ``sp_el0``, ``sp_el2`` stack pointers
    #. EL2 system register context for all enabled features by EL3. These include system registers with the ``_EL2`` prefix. The EL2 physical and virtual timer registers must not be included in this.

 It is the responsibility of EL3 that the above registers will not be leaked to
 the NS Host and to maintain the confidentiality of the Realm World.

 EL3 will not save some registers as mentioned in the below list. It is the
 responsibility of RMM to ensure that these are appropriately saved if the
 Realm World makes use of them:

    #. FP/SIMD registers
    #. SVE registers
    #. SME registers
    #. EL1/0 registers

 SMCCC v1.3 allows NS world to specify whether SVE context is in use. In this
 case, RMM could choose to not save the incoming SVE context but must ensure
 to clear SVE registers if they have been used in Realm World. The same applies
 to SME registers.

	entry from NS Host on receiving an error. This will be done across all the PEs
	in the system so as to present a symmetric view to the NS Host. Any further
	warm boot by any PE should not enter RMM using the warm boot interface.

	.. _rmm_el3_boot_manifest:

	Boot Manifest
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	During cold boot, EL3 Firmware passes a memory boot manifest to RMM containing
	platform information.

	This boot manifest is versioned independently of the boot interface, to help
	evolve the boot manifest independent of the rest of Boot Manifest.
	The current version for the boot manifest is ``v0.1`` and the rules explained
	in :ref:`rmm_el3_ifc_versioning` apply on this version as well.

	The boot manifest is divided into two different components:

	- Core Manifest: This is the generic parameters passed to RMM by EL3 common to all platforms.
	- Platform data: This is defined by the platform owner and contains information specific to that platform.

	For the current version of the manifest, the core manifest contains a pointer
	to the platform data. EL3 must ensure that the whole boot manifest,
	including the platform data, if available, fits inside the RMM EL3 shared
	buffer.

	For the type specification of the RMM Boot Manifest v0.1, refer to
	:ref:`rmm_el3_manifest_struct`

	.. _runtime_services_and_interface:

	RMM-EL3 Runtime Interface
	__________________________

	This section defines the RMM-EL3 runtime interface which specifies the ABI for
	EL3 services expected by RMM at runtime as well as the register save and
	restore convention between EL3 and RMM as part of RMI call handling. It is
	important to note that RMM is allowed to invoke EL3-RMM runtime interface
	services during the boot phase as well. The EL3 runtime service handling must
	not result in a world switch to another world unless specified. Both the RMM
	and EL3 are allowed to make suitable optimizations based on this assumption.

	If the interface requires the use of memory, then the memory references should
	be within the shared buffer communicated as part of the boot interface. See
	:ref:`rmm_cold_boot_interface` for properties of this shared buffer which both
	EL3 and RMM must adhere to.

	RMM-EL3 runtime service return codes
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	The return codes from EL3 to RMM is a 32 bit signed integer which encapsulates
	error condition as described in the following table:

	.. csv-table::
	:header: "Error code", "Description", "ID"
	:widths: 2 4 1

	``E_RMM_OK``,No errors detected,0
	``E_RMM_UNK``,Unknown/Generic error,-1
	``E_RMM_BAD_ADDR``,The value of an address used as argument was invalid,-2
	``E_RMM_BAD_PAS``,Incorrect PAS,-3
	``E_RMM_NOMEM``,Not enough memory to perform an operation,-4
	``E_RMM_INVAL``,The value of an argument was invalid,-5

	If multiple failure conditions are detected in an RMM to EL3 command, then EL3
	is allowed to return an error code corresponding to any of the failure
	conditions.

	RMM-EL3 runtime services
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	The following table summarizes the RMM runtime services that need to be
	implemented by EL3 Firmware.

	RMM_RMI_REQ_COMPLETE command
	============================

	Notifies the completion of an RMI call to the Non-Secure world.

	This call is the only function currently in RMM-EL3 runtime interface which
	results in a world switch to NS. This call is the reply to the original RMI
	call and it is forwarded by EL3 to the NS world.

	RMM-EL3 world switch register save restore convention
	_____________________________________________________

	As part of NS world switch, EL3 is expected to maintain a register context
	specific to each world and will save and restore the registers
	appropriately. This section captures the contract between EL3 and RMM on the
	register set to be saved and restored.

	EL3 must maintain a separate register context for the following:

	#. General purpose registers (x0-x30) and ``sp_el0``, ``sp_el2`` stack pointers
	#. EL2 system register context for all enabled features by EL3. These include system registers with the ``_EL2`` prefix. The EL2 physical and virtual timer registers must not be included in this.

	It is the responsibility of EL3 that the above registers will not be leaked to
	the NS Host and to maintain the confidentiality of the Realm World.

	EL3 will not save some registers as mentioned in the below list. It is the
	responsibility of RMM to ensure that these are appropriately saved if the
	Realm World makes use of them:

	#. FP/SIMD registers
	#. SVE registers
	#. SME registers
	#. EL1/0 registers

	SMCCC v1.3 allows NS world to specify whether SVE context is in use. In this
	case, RMM could choose to not save the incoming SVE context but must ensure
	to clear SVE registers if they have been used in Realm World. The same applies
	to SME registers.
