Tests are not guaranteed to be compatible. This also means that a version
upgrade on the TF-A-Tests side might not necessarily introduce any new feature.
+Version 2.5
+-----------
+
+New features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+- More tests are made available in this release to help validate the
+ functionalities in the following areas:
+ - True Random Number Generator (TRNG) test scenarios.
+ - Multicore / Power State Controller Interface (PSCI) tests.
+ - v8.6 Activity Monitors Unit (AMU) enhancements test scenarios.
+ - Secure Partition Manager (SPM) / Firmware Framework (FF-A) v1.0 testing.
+ - Interrupt Handling between Non-secure and Secure world.
+ - Direct messages and memory sharing between Secure Partitions(SP).
+ - Many tests to exercise FF-A v1.0 ABIs.
+ - SPM saving/restoring the NS SIMD context enabling a normal world FF-A
+ endpoint (TFTF) and a secure partition to use SIMD vectors and
+ instructions independently.
+
+TFTF
+~~~~
+
+- SPM / FF-A v1.0 testing.
+ - Refactor FF-A memory sharing tests
+ - Created helper functions to initialize ffa_memory_region and to send
+ the respective memory region to the SP, making it possible to reuse
+ the logic in SP-to-SP memory share tests.
+ - Added comments to document relevant aspects about memory sharing.
+
+ - Trigger direct messaging between SPs.
+ - Use cactus command 'CACTUS_REQ_ECHO_SEND_CMD' to make cactus SPs
+ communicate with each other using direct message interfaces.
+
+ - Added helpers for SPM tests.
+ - Checking SPMC has expected FFA_VERSION.
+ - Checking that expected FF-A endpoints are deployed in the system.
+ - Getting global TFTF mailbox.
+
+- Replace '.inst' AArch64 machine directives with CPU Memory Tagging Extension
+ instructions in 'test_mte_instructions' function.
+
+- Add build option for Arm Feature Modifiers.
+ - This patch adds a new ARM_ARCH_FEATURE build option to add support
+ for compiler's feature modifiers.
+
+- Enable 8 cores support for Theodul DSU(DynamIQ Shared Unit) for the
+ Total Compute (TC0) platform.
+
+- New tests:
+
+ - Remove redundant code and add better tests for TRNG SMCs.
+ - Tests that the Version, Features, and RND calls conform to the spec.
+
+ - New tests for v8.6 AMU enhancements (FEAT_AMUv1p1)
+ - Make sure AMU offsets are being saved and restored properly.
+
+ - Tests to request SP-to-SP memory share.
+
+ - SP-to-SP direct messaging deadlock test.
+ - TFTF sends CACTUS_REQ_DEADLOCK_CMD to cactus SP.
+
+Cactus(Secure-EL1 test partition)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Enable managed exit for primary cactus secure partition.
+
+- Helper commands needed for interrupt testing.
+
+- Add handler from managed exit FIQ interrupt.
+
+- Make ffa_id global.
+
+- Implement HF_INTERRUPT_ENABLE Hafnium hypervisor call wrapper. With this
+ service, a secure partition calls into the SPMC to enable/disable a
+ particular virtual interrupt.
+
+- Invalidate the data cache for the cactus image.
+
+- Helper commands needed for interrupt testing.
+ - CACTUS_SLEEP_CMD & CACTUS_INTERRUPT_CMD added.
+
+- Decouple exception handling from tftf framework.
+ - With new interrupt related tests coming up in Cactus, added separate
+ exception handler code for irq/fiq in Cactus.
+
+- Hypervisor calls moved to a separate module.
+
+- Add secondary entry point register function.
+
+- Declare third SP instance as UP SP.
+
+- Provision a cold boot path for secondary cores (or secondary pinned
+ execution contexts).
+
+- Tidy message loop, commands definitions, direct messaging API definitions.
+
+- Helpers for error logging after FF-A calls.
+
+- Properly placing Cactus test files.
+
+- Tidying FF-A Memory Sharing tests.
+
+- Use CACTUS_ECHO_CMD in direct message tests.
+
+- Refactor handling of commands.
+ - Added helper macros to define a command handler, build a command table
+ in which each element is a pair of the handler and respective command
+ ID. Available tests have been moved to their own command handler.
+
+- Extend arguments in commands responses.
+ - In the test commands framework, added template to extend number of
+ values to include in a command response.
+
+- Check FF-A return is a valid direct response.
+ - Added a helper function to check if return of FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ
+ is FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP.
+
+- FFA_MSG_DIRECT_RESP call extended to use 5 registers.
+
+- Added accessors for arguments from FF-A calls.
+ - Some accessors for arguments from FF-A calls, namely for func id, error
+ code, and direct message destination/source.
+
+- Use virtual counter for sp_sleep.
+ - Changes sp_sleep() to use virtual counter instead of physical counter.
+
+- Checks if SIMD vectors are preserved in the normal world while transitioning
+ from normal world to secure world and back to normal world.
+
+- Tidying common code to tftf and cactus.
+
+- Refactor cactus_test_cmds.h to incorporate static inline functions instead
+ of macros to enforce type checking.
+
+- Removed reference to Hafnium in name from helper function and macro to
+ make them generic.
+
+- For consistency added the cmd id 'CACTUS_MEM_SEND_CMD'.
+
+- Add command to request memory sharing between SPs.
+
+- Add & handle commands 'CACTUS_REQ_ECHO_CMD' and 'CACTUS_ECHO_CMD'.
+
+- Update README with list of sample partitions.
+
+- Remove reference to PSA from xml test file.
+
+- Reduce tests verbosity in release mode.
+ - Update few NOTICE messages to VERBOSE/INFO.
+
+- Fix conversion issues on cactus responses.
+
+- Create RXTX map/configure helper macros and use them.
+
+- Update OP-TEE version used for testing to 3.10.
+ - SPMC as S-EL1 tests using OP-TEE depend on a static binary stored as
+ a CI file. This binary corresponds to a build of OP-TEE v3.10.
+
+- Add uart2 to device-regions node.
+ - First SP no longer has an open access to the full system peripheral
+ range and devices must be explicitly declared in the SP manifest.
+
+- New tests:
+
+ - Test for exercising SMMUv3 driver to perform stage2 translation.
+
+ - Test handling of non-secure interrupt while running SP.
+
+ - Add secondary cores direct messaging test for SPM.
+
+ - Testing deadlock by FF-A direct message.
+ - Added command CACTUS_DEADLOCK_CMD to file cactus_test_cmds.h to create
+ a deadlock scenario using FF-A direct message interfaces.
+
+ - Test SP-to-SP memory share operations
+ - Handle 'CACTUS_REQ_MEM_SEND_CMD' by sending memory to the receiver SP.
+
+ - Implemented test to validate FFA_RXTX_MAP ABI.
+
