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.
+Trusted Firmware-A Tests - version 2.2
+======================================
+
+New features
+------------
+
+- A wide range of tests are made available in this release to help validate
+ the functionality of TF-A.
+
+- Various improvements to test framework and test suite.
+
+TFTF
+````
+
+- Enhancement to xlat table library synchronous to TF-A code base.
+
+- Enabled strict alignment checks (SCTLR.A & SCTLR.SA) in all images.
+
+- Support for a simple console driver. Currently it serves as a placeholder
+ with empty functions.
+
+- A topology helper API is added in the framework to get parent node info.
+
+- Support for FVP with clusters having upto 8 CPUs.
+
+- Enhanced linker script to separate code and RO data sections.
+
+- Relax SMC calls tests. The SMCCC specification recommends Trusted OSes to
+ mitigate the risk of leaking information by either preserving the register
+ state over the call, or returning a constant value, such as zero, in each
+ register. Tests only allowed the former behaviour and have been extended to
+ allow the latter as well.
+
+- Pointer Authentication enabled on warm boot path with individual APIAKey
+ generation for each CPU.
+
+- New tests:
+
+ - Basic unit tests for xlat table library v2.
+
+ - Tests for validating SVE support in TF-A.
+
+ - Stress tests for dynamic xlat table library.
+
+ - PSCI test to measure latencies when turning ON a cluster.
+
+ - Series of AArch64 tests that stress the secure world to leak sensitive
+ counter values.
+
+ - Test to validate PSCI SYSTEM_RESET call.
+
+ - Basic tests to validate Memory Tagging Extensions are being enabled and
+ ensuring no undesired leak of sensitive data occurs.
+
+- Enhanced tests:
+
+ - Improved tests for Pointer Authentication support. Checks are performed
+ to see if pointer authentication keys are accessible as well as validate
+ if secure keys are being leaked after a PSCI version call or TSP call.
+
+ - Improved AMU test to remove unexecuted code iterating over Group1 counters
+ and fix the conditional check of AMU Group0 counter value.
+
+Secure partitions
+`````````````````
+
+A new Secure Partition Quark is introduced in this release.
+
+Quark
+'''''''''
+
+The Quark test secure partition provided is a simple service which returns a
+magic number. Further, a simple test is added to test if Quark is functional.
+
+Issues resolved since last release
+----------------------------------
+
+- Bug fix in libc memchr implementation.
+
+- Bug fix in calculation of number of CPUs.
+
+- Streamlined SMC WORKAROUND_2 test and fixed a false fail on Cortex-A76 CPU.
+
+- Pointer Authentication support is now available for secondary CPUs and the
+ corresponding tests are stable in this release.
+
+Known issues and limitations
+----------------------------
+
+The sections below list the known issues and limitations of each test image
+provided in this repository. Unless and otherwise stated, issues and limitations
+stated in previous release continue to exist in this release.

+
+Tests
+'''''
+
+- Multicore spurious interrupt test is observed to have unstable behavior. As a
+ temporary solution, this test is skipped for AArch64 Juno configurations.
+
+- Generating SVE instructions requires `O3` compilation optimization. Since the
+ current build structure does not allow compilation flag modification for
+ specific files, the function which tests support for SVE has been pre-compiled
+ and added as an assembly file.
