Hi Andrey,

CAAM JR nodes are configured by BootROM and are used by various software entities during the boot process before they reach the Kernel.
Default BootROM configuration have JR0 and JR1 reserved for S-only access, while JR2 is generally available for both S and NS access. HAB feature of i.MX8M family does require that JR0 is reserved exclusively in S-only world, while JR1 and JR2 are both released to NS-World. OP-TEE can later reclaim the JR2 via dt_enable_secure_status() call, and modify the DID to hold it in S-World only.
The above setup has been discovered during review of CAAM patchset presented to U-Boot integration [1], and does not correspond to the status on jr nodes in FDT.
This missing status settings leads to the following error message during jr node probing: [ 1.509894] caam 30900000.crypto: job rings = 3, qi = 0 [ 1.525201] caam_jr 30901000.jr: failed to flush job ring 0 [ 1.525214] caam_jr: probe of 30901000.jr failed with error -5
JR register readout after BootROM execution shows the following values: JR0DID_MS = 0x8011 JR1DID_MS = 0x8011 JR2DID_MS = 0x0
This shows that JR0 and JR1 have TZ_OWN bit set, which marks them to be reserved for S-World, while JR2 remains accessible from NS-World.
Provide the correct status for JR nodes in imx8m derivatives, which have a following meaning:
- JR0: S-only
- JR1: visible in both
- JR2: NS-only
Note, that JR2 is initially marked to be NS-only which does correspond to DID readout when OP-TEE is not present. Once present, OP-TEE will reclaim the JR2 and set both "status" and "secure-status" to claim JR2 for S-only access.
While I can understand that you want to fix your use case for when HAB is enabled, note that this is disabling JR0 in the none-HAB case as well.
This is not totally correct, as this patch does address the reservation of JR0 by BootROM in both HAB and non-HAB configurations. My current setup does not include HAB functionality enabled, and I still do observe boot errors that are listed in commit message. This is due to the fact that the BootROM does not release JR0 to NS-World regardless of whether HAB is enabled or not. This has been discussed in the U-Boot thread I provided the link in the patch.
This patch does rather bring the correct HW module description as seeing from Linux.
I took a look into i.MX8MQ, the bootrom indeed sets 0x8011 for JR0 & JR1: JR0:0000000000008011 JR1:0000000000008011 JR2:0000000000000000 TF-A
CAAM
JR0:0000000000000001 JR1:0000000000000001 JR2:0000000000000001
However at least the upstream TF-A reconfigures the DIDs to 1 for all i.MX8M* derivates. So while it is technically correct to change the DT values as you describe, the downstream TF-A and upstream TF-A seem to differ in their configuration. I also think it's a bad move to hardcode the JR configuration to the boot ROM config, since AFAIK i.MX8M* can not be run without TF-A. And IMO the upstream kernel should follow what the upstream TF-A does in this case.
This is indeed an interesting piece of information, thanks a lot!
From what I understood in previous discussions for this series here in the Kernel, and on U-Boot ML: JR0 is required to be held reserved in S-World for HAB to operate, and this is clearly communicated by NXP in [1]. If my understanding is correct, then upstream TF-A either does not support or breaks the HAB feature.
Yes, upstream TF-A does not implement the NXP specific SIPs to communicate with the ROM code to do further image authentication. Thats also the reason why all JRs are released to normal world, there is no possible HAB use after TF-A has started.
I've been following the build documentation in U-Boot, where the downstream TF-A is listed as build prequisites [2] without any mentioning of upstream, hence I received a readout that matched the BootROM "1-to-1".
Yes, since the downstream TF-A is required to authenticate further images.
Aside from this the bootrom HAB interface on i.MX8MQ was broken in interesting ways, I had to implement parsing of the HAB status SRAM area by hand within barebox.
I believe that if the information from NXP regarding JR0 reservation for HAB is correct (and I have no reasons to doubt it), then upstream TF-A should be adapted in order for HAB feature to work, and in that case this patch brings correct HW state description as seeing from Linux.
JR0 for HAB in S-World makes sense to me, otherwise the bootrom will probably refuse to work with the JR.
And in contrary, if the upstream TF-A is not adjusted to include HAB support - then applying this patch would effectively just "remove" one JR device, still keeping 2 additional available nodes for HW crypto operations in Kernel, with added benefit that both upstream and downstream TF-A can be used during the boot without seeing issues later in the Kernel.
Even with the downstream TF-A there is no reason to keep JR0 asigned to the secure world, unless you are running OP-TEE. JR0 assignement for HAB shouldn't be required after the bootloader has run, unless you want to HAB authenticate images from a running Linux kernel.
The reason NXP hardcodes the configuration downstream is of course to support HAB & OP-TEE, but this is still not a reason to hardcode this assignement into the kernel device tree. They probably also hardcode it in their downstream kernel versions.
I can understand that it seems easier to hardcode this in the kernel, but as I said before, if you are running OP-TEE you need to adjust the DT anyway since nodes need to be added and you might as well adjust the jobring configuration than.
Kind regards, Rouven
IMO this should be handled correctly by the bootloader and/or OP- TEE. The default upstream configuration for OP-TEE is to not use the CAAM at runtime as well, since linux runtime PM disablement of the CAAM will lock up OP-TEE when it tries to access the CAAM.
If by handling you mean releasing JR0 reservation - then yes, it should be done by either SPL or TF-A as they do run in S World. In such a case, DTB bindings need to be adapted further according to the new state. Until this done - this patch does provide a correct state of HW to the Kernel.
Upstream TF-A simply releases all JRs to the normal world, matching the current DTB description.
