original EL2 execution [13]. Note that the SDEI interrupt remains active until
the client handler completes, at which point EL3 does EOI [12].
-SDEI events can be explicitly dispatched in response to other asynchronous
-exceptions. See `Explicit dispatch of events`_.
+Other than events bound to interrupts (as depicted in the sequence above, SDEI
+events can be explicitly dispatched in response to other exceptions, for
+example, upon receiving an *SError* or *Synchronous External Abort*. See
+`Explicit dispatch of events`_.
The remainder of this document only discusses the design and implementation of
SDEI dispatcher in TF-A, and assumes that the reader is familiar with the SDEI
- The event number: this must be a positive 32-bit integer.
-- The interrupt number the event is bound to:
+- For an event that has a backing interrupt, the interrupt number the event is
+ bound to:
- If it's not applicable to an event, this shall be left as ``0``.
To define event 0, the macro ``SDEI_DEFINE_EVENT_0()`` should be used. This
macro takes only one parameter: an SGI number to signal other PEs.
+To define an event that's meant to be `explicitly dispatched`__ (i.e., not as a
+result of receiving an SDEI interrupt), the macro ``SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT()``
+should be used. It accepts two parameters:
+
+.. __: `Explicit dispatch of events`_
+
+- The event number (as above);
+
+- Event priority: ``SDEI_MAPF_CRITICAL`` or ``SDEI_MAPF_NORMAL``, as described
+ below.
+
Once the event descriptor arrays are defined, they should be exported to the
SDEI dispatcher using the ``REGISTER_SDEI_MAP()`` macro, passing it the pointers
to the private and shared event descriptor arrays, respectively. Note that the
- Must be bound to a Secure SGI on the platform.
+- Explicit events should only be used in the private array.
+
- Statically bound shared and private interrupts must be bound to shared and
private interrupts on the platform, respectively. See the section on
`interrupt configuration`__.
- ``SDEI_MAPF_BOUND``: Marks the event as statically bound to an interrupt.
These events cannot be re-bound at runtime.
+- ``SDEI_MAPF_NORMAL``: Marks the event as having *Normal* priority. This is
+ the default priority.
+
- ``SDEI_MAPF_CRITICAL``: Marks the event as having *Critical* priority.
- Without this flag, the event is assumed to have *Normal* priority.

/* Dynamic private events */
SDEI_PRIVATE_EVENT(100, SDEI_DYN_IRQ, SDEI_MAPF_DYNAMIC),
SDEI_PRIVATE_EVENT(101, SDEI_DYN_IRQ, SDEI_MAPF_DYNAMIC)
+
+ /* Events for explicit dispatch */
+ SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT(2000, SDEI_MAPF_NORMAL);
+ SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT(2000, SDEI_MAPF_CRITICAL);
};
/* Shared event mappings */
- Event 0 can't be dispatched.
-- The event must neither be a dynamic event nor be bound to an interrupt.
+- The event must be declared using the ``SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT()`` macro
+ described above.
- The event must be private to the PE.
