Re: [TF-A] Does TF-A support to load and run both TEE and SPM_MM?

by Achin Gupta

Hi Heyi, Happy to discuss the detail but the short answer is no. Instead, it is possible to run an MM partition in S-EL0 under the TEE. This work is being done with OP-TEE. From a SW architecture standpoint, it did not seem like a good idea to let EL3 run its "application" i.e. MM SP alongside a TEE which also runs its own applications. It is better to let the TEE own S-EL1 and run all applications in S-EL0 under it.

Does TF-A support to load and run both TEE and SPM_MM?

by Heyi Guo

Hi All, On some platforms there may be requirements to run both TEE and SPM_MM instances, such as providing TEE services on server platforms. Do TF-A support this scenario? If it doesn't, do it make sense to add such support? Thanks, Heyi

Hafnium / TF-A v2.4 first tagged release is available

by Olivier Deprez

Hi All, Following the announcement of the Trusted Firmware-A/Trusted Firmware-A-tests v2.4 release: We are pleased to announce the first tagged release of Hafnium [1] implementing the SPMC according to the FF-A v1.0 specification [2]. As a reminder, Hafnium has been transferred to trustedfirmware.org back in May 2020 to become the reference open source S-EL2 firmware, under an Arm/Google co-maintainership. Contributions are open to partners in trustedfirmware.org The Secure Partition Manager documentation is available at [3] Please also refer to the change log at [4] The companion TF-A test suite permits the validation of FF-A ABIs and NWd/SWd communication by the use of bare-metal S-EL1 secure partitions. Thanks to all who contributed to make it happen. Regards, Olivier.

TF-A Tech Forum Agenda @ Thr 19th November 2020 16:00-1700 GMT

by Joanna Farley

Hi All, The next TF-A Tech Forum is scheduled for Thu 19th November 2020 16:00 – 17:00 (GMT). Please note UK entered Daylight Saving on 25th October when clocks went back one hour to go to GMT from BST. A reoccurring meeting invite has been sent out to the subscribers of this TF-A mailing list. If you don’t have this please let me know. Agenda: * Trace-based Code Coverage Tooling for Firmware Projects * Presented by Basil Eljuse & Saul Romero * Summary * TF-A has adopted a code coverage system to measure the effectiveness of the various runtime testing performed and this is achieved without doing code instrumentation. This presentation is an overview of that approach which has applicability beyond the TF-A project. * Optional TF-A Mailing List Topic Discussions If TF-A contributors have anything they wish to present at any future TF-A tech forum please contact me to have that scheduled. Previous sessions, both recording and presentation material can be found on the trustedfirmware.org TF-A Technical meeting webpage: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-a-technical-forum/ A scheduling tracking page is also available to help track sessions suggested and being prepared: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_a/tf-a-tech-forum-scheduling/ Final decisions on what will be presented will be shared a few days before the next meeting and shared on the TF-A mailing list. Thanks Joanna

atf-a with optee-os for firefly-rk3399

by Piotr Lobacz

Hi All, i've been trying for a couple of days to load current optee together with atf from the github, with no luck. For that i have been using manuals (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plat/rockchip.html , http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_ATF ) for rockchip and what i have succeded is to run very old atf tag 1.3 with optee blob from rockchip which i suspect is also very old. And if i try to use any newer atf >= 1.4 than i suspect that it does not load, because i do not see any LOGS from it, no matter that LOG_LEVEL was set to 50... Can anybody help me solving this issue or point me to some solution? Thanks in advance.

Re: [TF-A] Alignment fault checking in EL3

by Soby Mathew

Hi Julius, The TF-A build sets the `-mstrict-align` compiler option, that means that the compiler will generate only aligned accesses as default. So disabling the check at runtime, seems `unaligned` with the compiler option IMO. The programmer can induce unaligned access though, although I am struggling to understand why the programmer would want to do that. The case you have pointed out seems like an error which needs to be corrected in platform code IMO. > Well, my assumption is that performing an unaligned access cannot be a > vulnerability. TF-A has linker symbol references and non-trivial linker section manipulations at runtime and these have previously triggered alignment errors when binary layout changed due to code issues. Disabling the alignment check at runtime means these errors would have remained undetected and would have resulted in more obscure crash at runtime or even a vulnerablility. In some cases, only the RELEASE builds (DEBUG=0) triggered the alignment fault. > There are scenarios where unaligned accesses can be intentional, but I am not too worried about those -- there are ways to work around that, and if we make it policy that those accesses always need to be written that way I'm okay with that. What I am worried about is mistakes and oversights that slip through testing and then cause random or even attacker-controllable crashes in production. If the main reason you're enabling this flag is to help with early detection of coding mistakes, I wonder if the best approach would be to enable it for DEBUG=1 and disable it for DEBUG=0 (of course, if there are really security issues associated with it like you mentioned above, that wouldn't make sense). Agree. But I am failing to understand why the unaligned accesses came to be there in the first place. My worry is, if this was not intended by the programmer, this might as well be a bug that will remain undetected if the alignment check is disabled.
