This region is reserved in the device with the "no-map" property as defined in the binding file doc/device-tree-bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt. Sometime the platform boot failed in U-Boot on a Cortex A7 access to this region (depending of the binary and the issue can change with compiler version or with code alignment), then the firewall raise an error, for example: E/TC:0 tzc_it_handler:19 TZC permission failure E/TC:0 dump_fail_filter:420 Permission violation on filter 0 E/TC:0 dump_fail_filter:425 Violation @0xde5c6bf0, non-secure privileged read, AXI ID 5c0 E/TC:0 Panic After investigation, the forbidden access is a speculative request performed by the Cortex A7 because all the DDR is mapped as MEMORY with CACHEABLE property. The issue is solved only when the region reserved by OP-TEE is no more mapped in U-Boot as it is already done in Linux kernel. Tested on DK2 board with OP-TEE 3.12 / TF-A 2.4: With hard-coded address for OP-TEE reserved memory, the error doesn't occur. void dram_bank_mmu_setup(int bank) { .... for (i = start >> MMU_SECTION_SHIFT; i < (start >> MMU_SECTION_SHIFT) + (size >> MMU_SECTION_SHIFT); i++) { option = DCACHE_DEFAULT_OPTION; if (i >= 0xde0) option = INVALID_ENTRY; set_section_dcache(i, option); } } Just by modifying the test on 0xde0 to 0xdf0, the OP-TEE memory protected by firewall is mapped cacheable and the error occurs. I think that it can be a general issue for ARM architecture: the "no-map" tag of reserved memory in device should be respected by U-Boot if firewall is configured before U-Boot execution. But I don't propose a generic solution in arm/lib/cache-cp15.c:dram_bank_mmu_setup() because the device tree parsing done in lmb_init_and_reserve() takes a long time when it is executed without data cache. --- 24e1e8841c59956aaf0bd65720d0dbdd61aa3632
