Hi, Jens, Olivier,
In case of that optee runs at sel1 and hafnium runs at sel2, we want to test benchmark by executing the following command at optee_benchmark path:
./out/benchmark ../optee_examples/out/ca/optee_example_hello_world
After entering into the benchmark pta, the bm_timestamp function attempts to read the pmccfiltr_el0 register.
In cold boot, the following code will be executed during hafnium initialization:
vm->arch.trapped_features |= HF_FEATURE_PERFMON;
This will prevent the secondary vm from accessing the performance counter registers.
We remove the code, the bm_timestamp function can read pmccfiltr_el0 without trapping into hafnium.
But the value of pmccfiltr_el0 remains unchanged and cannot be counted.
We tried to read the register in hafnium and found that there was no change either.
In contrast, in the normal world, pmccfiltr_el0 counts normally.
Is it related to the pmu register configuration or does sel1 not support the pmccfiltr_el0 count at present?
Thanks for the support.
Regards,
Yuye.
Hi Jens,
I have a couple of Hafnium changes implementing the use of VSTTBR_EL2/VTTBR_EL2 to split an SP IPA into secure and non-secure IPA spaces.
They're very much in experimental stage so difficult to share just now (I will do some time later in February).
However I'd like to report some possible issue observed with qemu.
Essentially, when normal world driver inits, it performs a first share operation for a single NS page:
INFO: 1> 1 0 FFA_MEM_SHARE_32(84000073) 50 50 0 0 0 0 0

INFO: 1< 1 8001 Unknown(84000075) 50 50 0 0 0 0 0
Hafnium maps the NS page into OP-TEE's S2 page tables rooted to by VTTBR_EL2
0: e178003 S
1: e179003 S
f: e17a003 S
186: 240000041f867ff NS
(similar dump from VSTTBR_EL2 show OP-TEE secure pages properly mapped)
OP-TEE then maps the page in its S1 PTs as NS:
E/TC:1 0 spmc_retrieve_req:1428 spmc_retrieve_req exit.
E/TC:1 0 thread_spmc_populate_mobj_from_rx:1506 thread_spmc_populate_mobj_from_rx exit.

D/TC:1 0 core_mmu_xlat_table_alloc:526 xlat tables used 4 / 5
A page fault is hit when OP-TEE accesses the page from its VA:
WARNING: Stage-2 page fault: pc=0xe30b764, vmid=0x8001, vcpu=1, vaddr=0xfa0001c, ipaddr=0x41f8601c, mode=0x1 0x40000000000007c
This issue is not observed with the TC2 FVP and similar Hafnium+OP-TEE SW stack, at the same point of initialization.
So it seems qemu is not doing the translation properly from VTTBR_EL2 for a page mapped NS by OP-TEE (hence NS IPA space).
Who should I report this problem to?
Regards,
Olivier.

Hi, Olivier,
I have a few questions for your reply.
> [OD] Unfortunately Hafnium is not designed for this. I can see few places where things can go wrong, but firstly as you highlighted in another thread, the init should take place on the same core that was used for initializing (aka the primary core). As I understand, the optee load smc can happen on any core as it's launched from a nwd/linux thread running on any core. This is not only a hafnium limitation, I guess OP-TEE would have the same problem further on, as it also must go through the primary core init on physical boot/primary core. Then it would require the normal world to coordinate the secondary core init. for all cores, the same way as it happens in the cold boot phase by duplicating TF-A's PSCI boot flows.
I have done a restrained test for optee hot update. By setting grub.cfg, only one physical core is enabled, in which case hafnium and optee could be initialized normally. But after spmd returning to the driver, the optee driver hang in optee_ffa_probe and cannot exit normally. Maybe hafnium changes the state of some registers during initialization. And these registers may be shared with the el2 host os kernel. What issues do you think I may have overlooked?
1. Primary core and secondary core should be concepts during boot phase. At runtime, primary core and secondary core should not be distinguished. Does this mean that I can initialize the core of nwd/linux running thread with hafnium as the primary core? This may require hafnium or Atf to do some initialization for the core.
2. Can a hafnium implement an optee hot update without fully initializing itself but with a few initializing actions for optee, such as manifest_init?
3. For all cores, the same way as it happens in the cold boot phase by duplicating TF-A's PSCI boot flows. Agree with you.
> [OD] No this isn't supported and not in our roadmap. As things stand with upstream components, it would be preferable going with a regular FW update flow (but requires a machine reboot).
1. When you say upstream_components, do you mean bl2u_image, ns_bl2u_image things like that or something else in other spec?
Although this is an alternative update solution, machine reboot does not have the significance and advantages that belong to the hot update.
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Yuye.

Subject: optee hot update
Hi, Olivier,
As I can see in the Hafnium code,
Hafnium performs a number of one-time functions at boot phase,
like one_time_init_mm and one_time_init.
I want to initialize Hafnium again from image_entry and then initialize optee after optee is updated.
I wonder if there are any problems with this flow for hafnium at runtime phase.
[OD] Unfortunately Hafnium is not designed for this.

Then it would require the normal world to coordinate the secondary core init. for all cores, the same way as it happens in the cold boot phase by duplicating TF-A's PSCI boot flows.
Does Hafnium provide any interface to boot optee directly at runtime phase,
and if not, how do you think it makes sense to modify the above flow?
[OD] No this isn't supported and not in our roadmap. As things stand with upstream components, it would be preferable going with a regular FW update flow (but requires a machine reboot).
Does anyone else know how to fix it?

TF-A Community,
This is to notify that we are planning to target the Trusted Firmware-A 2.9 release during the middle of May 2023 as part of the regular 6 month cadence.
The aim is to consolidate all TF-A work since the 2.8 release. As part of this, a release candidate tag is targeted to be created and release activities commence from 10th May 2023 across all TF-A repositories.
Essentially we will not merge any major enhancements from this date until the release is made.
Please ensure any patches desired to make the 2.9 release are submitted in good time to be complete by 9th May 2023.
Any major enhancement patches still open after that date will not be merged until after the release.
This will involve the various repositories making up the broader TF-A project including the TF-A mainline, TF-A Tests, Hafnium, TF-A CI Scripts and TF-A CI Job. In addition a TF-RMM repository release will be made that is compatible with v2.9.
We will endeavour minimise the disruption on patch merging and complete release activities ASAP after we start normally completing within 7-10 working days.
Regards
Joanna Farley
Hi, Jens,
In our scenario, we need to update the entire optee image,
so booting the updated image must be done by hafnium (sel2 spmc).

If this is just to be able to load OP-TEE late during boot it might be
more useful to implement this in OP-TEE itself, that way it can be
used in more or less any environment supported by OP-TEE.

This SP would be loaded by BL2 instead of OP-TEE, and would be able to "replace itself" with the real payload of the SP later (in this case OP-TEE). For that it could either host a storage driver, if boot-time loading is needed, or if storage is only accessible from the SWd, or allow the NWd to send the payload if run-time loading is more beneficial.

Hi, Olivier,
The question in the last email may be a little confusing.
I want to change the question, do you know how implement that hafnium boot optee at runtime?
I think there should be less initialization than the first boot.
Thanks a lot for the support.
Regards,
Yuye.

Hi, Olivier,
I would like to ask you about the solution to the optee hot update.
In the current scenario, we have updated the optee core image after REE OS is booted.
And we want to re-initialize hafnium and optee in the boot flow.
So we re-execute the function spmd_init() in the ATF and enter into hafnium succesfully.
However, we find that function plat_psci_cpu_resume() has some problems with hafnium entering into optee.
We add some debug near the following code.
dlog("[Hafnium] cpu_index:%x, cpu->id:%x\n",cpu_index(c), c->id);
vcpu = vm_get_vcpu(vm, (vm->vcpu_count == 1) ? 0 : cpu_index(c));
vcpu_locked = vcpu_lock(vcpu);
Because the tee_driver that initiate a optee update request is running on a random cpu after REE OS is booted,
cpu_id here is a random id, but cpu_index is still 0, like the print:
[Hafnium] cpu_index:0, cpu->id:2d0000
which seems to affect optee booting and the system will hang before hafnium enter into optee.
I am not familiar with the vcpu switching.
Do you know how to solve this problem?
Or should we directly select the secondary core boot way instead of the primary on the current physical cpu?
Regards,
Yuye.

From my perspective, this is a fundamentally different approach to how OP-TEE is loaded and booted.
And actually a quite orthogonal model of trust compared to usual TF-A deployments.
This requires an enforcement of the bootloader and kernel to verify the filesystem contents hence this has additional assumptions about the system integration.
So I believe this a different 'problem' addressed, if compared to the generic firmware update topic.

Yes, we have recognized that method of extanding HF is not only complex but also against the HF design principle.
We have reanalysed the SP loading. Now we think that BL31 may be a good choice to replace the HF for loading the OPTEE at runtime phase.
And it seems that we can benefit from some implementation of image loading in BL2 in TF-A.
In addition, the OPTEE community seems to be discussing the issue of Post-boot loading OPTEE.

主 题：RE: [Hafnium] 回复：回复：回复：回复：hyp_loaded
Hi Yuye,
would it be possible for you to instead of extending HF with SP loading capability, implement a loader SP instead? This SP would be loaded by BL2 instead of OP-TEE, and would be able to "replace itself" with the real payload of the SP later (in this case OP-TEE). For that it could either host a storage driver, if boot-time loading is needed, or if storage is only accessible from the SWd, or allow the NWd to send the payload if run-time loading is more beneficial.
The main benefit of this approach would be to keep extra complexity out of HF, and to run the loader compartmentalized (least privilege principle).
This might need some changes in HF, and will need a new treat model and threat mitigations. But I think the same is true if the loader is implemented in HF.
Experts any thoughts? Would this be feasible? Would this be a good approach?

Hi,
In our current boot flow, we have implemented TF-A BL2 to load OPTEE.
However, at runtime, this static loading method is not convenient for updating OPTEE, considering that we may make some changes to OPTEE on demand.
So we wanted to load OPTEE with a dynamic loading solution, and Hafnium would be a good runtime component, since TF-A BL2 is not a runtime component.
Before I do that, I want to implement Hafnium's static loading of OPTEE.
If you have any questions about the above ideas or other solutions to this query, glad to discuss with you.
Thanks for support.

yuye

It would be good if consider using TF-A BL2 or equivalent to load OPTEE, that runs before hafnium, which is really the secure loader. I would recommend against hafnium including a loader, to keep it simple (and replicate the same functionality of another component), although that might be the right approach for your platform.

主 题：Re: 回复：[Hafnium] hyp_loaded
Hi,
In the reference implementation, OP-TEE is loaded (from flash to DRAM) as a partition by a bootloader running before Hafnium is launched.
The bootloader can be TF-A's BL2 or another solution.
Hafnium cannot "load an image/partition to DRAM" as it doesn't implement storage drivers.

Olivier.

Hi,
As I recall hyp_loaded option was introduced in context of Hafnium used as a NS EL2 hypervisor. Is this a configuration you use?
This option is only related to normal world VMs.
I don't believe it was designed for SPs or the SPMC image itself.
One reason is that SEL2/SPMC starts before the NS EL2 hypervisor in the boot flow.
For the record, the change that introduced this option:

Hi, expert
I want to confirm a problem about using hafnium to load spmc payload.
That is, Dose hafnium supports hyp_loaded for spmc payload or ffa_partion (such as optee_os) in the boot phase?
If the community confirms that it does not support it, I wonder, what might be the problem with doing so?
I see the following code in hanfnium：
if (manifest->vm[i].is_ffa_partition &&
!manifest->vm[i].is_hyp_loaded) {
TRY(parse_ffa_partition_package(stage1_locked, &vm_node, &manifest->vm[i], vm_id, ppool)); } else { TRY(parse_vm(&vm_node, &manifest->vm[i], vm_id)); } It seems that hafnium has no handling for both is_ffa_partition and is_hyp_loaded.

However, at runtime, this static loading method is not convenient for updating OPTEE, considering that we may make some changes to OPTEE on demand.
So we wanted to load OPTEE with a dynamic loading solution, and Hafnium would be a good runtime component, since TF-A BL2 is not a runtime component.
Before I do that, I want to implement Hafnium's static loading of OPTEE.
If you have any questions about the above ideas or other solutions to this query, glad to discuss with you.
Thanks for support.
regards,
yuye

It would be good if consider using TF-A BL2 or equivalent to load OPTEE, that runs before hafnium, which is really the secure loader. I would recommend against hafnium including a loader, to keep it simple (and replicate the same functionality of another component), although that might be the right approach for your platform.

Hi, expert
It seems that if I want to implement the query, I need to implement storage drivers in hafnium by myself.
Thanks for the confirmation.

主 题：Re: 回复：[Hafnium] hyp_loaded
Hi,
In the reference implementation, OP-TEE is loaded (from flash to DRAM) as a partition by a bootloader running before Hafnium is launched.
The bootloader can be TF-A's BL2 or another solution.
Hafnium cannot "load an image/partition to DRAM" as it doesn't implement storage drivers.
Regards,
Olivier.

Hi, expert
For my configuration, Hafnium is used as a SPMC running on S-EL2.
Is there any problems if I use Hafnium to load an OP-TEE image in the boot flow?

主 题：Re: [Hafnium] hyp_loaded
Hi,
As I recall hyp_loaded option was introduced in context of Hafnium used as a NS EL2 hypervisor. Is this a configuration you use?
This option is only related to normal world VMs.
I don't believe it was designed for SPs or the SPMC image itself.
One reason is that SEL2/SPMC starts before the NS EL2 hypervisor in the boot flow.
For the record, the change that introduced this option:

Subject: [Hafnium] hyp_loaded
Hi, expert
I want to confirm a problem about using hafnium to load spmc payload.
That is, Dose hafnium supports hyp_loaded for spmc payload or ffa_partion (such as optee_os) in the boot phase?
If the community confirms that it does not support it, I wonder, what might be the problem with doing so?
I see the following code in hanfnium：
if (manifest->vm[i].is_ffa_partition &&
!manifest->vm[i].is_hyp_loaded) {
TRY(parse_ffa_partition_package(stage1_locked, &vm_node, &manifest->vm[i], vm_id, ppool)); } else { TRY(parse_vm(&vm_node, &manifest->vm[i], vm_id)); } It seems that hafnium has no handling for both is_ffa_partition and is_hyp_loaded.

yuye

Hi, Jens,

Could you tell me why? I'm a little unclear.
Could you describe the difference between the retrieve process you mean and FFA-spec figure 18.4 in detail?
I need to make sure that I really understand what you mean,
so that I can implement the missing support for fragmented mem retrieve response as you said.
Or do you mean that we just need to implement the action done by optee after it receives FFA_MEM_RETRIEVE_RESP_32?
Regards,
Yuye.

If I've understood this correctly we have two different cases of
eventual fragmentation of descriptors. The first is the descriptor
passed with FFA_MEM_RETRIEVE_REQ_32, this one is not likely to need
fragmentation support soon. The other is the descriptor received with
FFA_MEM_RETRIEVE_RESP, I believe this is where you've run into
trouble.
From OP-TEE point of view, it would make sense if you took lead on
implementing this. I can help with review etc.
Thanks,
Jens
