Subject: [PATCH] firmware: arm_sdei: pass sdei_api_event_register right parameters

Function _local_event_enable is used for private sdei event
registeration called by sdei_event_register. We should pass
sdei_api_event_register right flag and mpidr parameters, otherwise atf
may trigger assert errors.

Hmmm, this looks like a bug in TFA.

5.1.2.2 "Parameters" of DEN 0054B has:
| Routing mode is valid only for a shared event. For a private event, the routing mode is
| ignored.

Worse, the mpidr field has:
| Currently the format is defined only when the selected routing mode is RM_PE.


Over in trusted firmware land:

https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/tree/services/std_svc/sdei/sdei_main.c?h=v2.5#n361

| static int64_t sdei_event_register(int ev_num,
| uint64_t ep,
| uint64_t arg,
| uint64_t flags,
| uint64_t mpidr)
| {

| /* Private events always target the PE */
| if (is_event_private(map))
| flags = SDEI_REGF_RM_PE;

It looks like this re-uses the 'caller specified the routing' code, but didn't update the
mpidr.


You mention TFA takes an assert failure, I assume that brings the machine down.
(Presumably you don't have a CPU with an affinity of zero.)

Does this mean no-one relies on this, and we can fix the firmware?
(I'll go report this to the relevant folk)


Thanks!

James

or a private event, we route SDEI_EVENT_REGISTER_RM_PE and mpidr
parameters may be more rationable.

Yes, that brings the machine down. In opensource ATF, CPU with an
affinity of zero.

The problem backaround:

we use local secure arch timer as sdei watchdog timer for hardlockup
detection, in  os panic flow, we mask sdei event, then trigger the assert


if (se->reg_flags == SDEI_REGF_RM_PE)

    assert(se->affinity == my_mpidr);

You are making this call from Linux?

This isn't valid for private events. Private events are private to the CPU - they can only
be reset, register and taken on that CPU. The specification for SDEI_EVENT_ROUTING_SET has
this:
| This call is used to change the routing information of a shared event.

To borrow the GIC's terms: Private events are like PPI, Shared events are like SPI.

Is that an SPI? If so, you should really be generating a shared event.

I'm not sure where this code in TFA is, but RM_PE for a private event is going to hit this
on all but one CPU. You shouldn't be able to set RM_PE for a private event.


I assume this is the TFA side of the problem from your colleague:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/11393


Does the problem occur with this TFA patch applied, and without any attempt to mess with
the routing of per-cpu/private events?


Thanks,

James

It's an PPI, secured arch timer used for hardlockup detection.
