There are two different implementations of Secure Partition management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM) design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface (SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development harder than it should be. This patch removes that dependency, making the two flags function independently. Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation. By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and this is overridden if SPM_MM=1. After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation. SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation. The two build flags are mutually exclusive. Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is easier to track the changes that were made.

Trusted Firmware-A
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software for Arm A-Profile architectures (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception Level 3 (EL3) Secure Monitor. It provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32 or AArch64 execution states.
TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:
- Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)
- Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)
- SMC Calling Convention
- System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)
- Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)
The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.
In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.
Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
