We analysed this proposal internally. And we see a number issues with this, some of which was already raised by Raghu in the previous threads. Here is a summary of the main issues that we see. * Only supporting mbedtls, and this is fixed config at compile time. * We propose that there should be a variable for the algorithm to be used, which can be setup at initialization time. * This solution relies on taking the hash directly from the digest as the measurement, instead of the computed hash. This is not safe, especially considering measured boot may use a different hash bank, so digest hash may not be correct/valid. * Only measuring the BL2 image, per the ARM SBSG we must be measuring and logging *all* images/boot phases * BL31 * BL32 (all secure partitions) * BL33 (UEFI or any other non-secure boot loader) * Once we ERET into BL33, the measure boot flow continues and is owned by that boot loader * Only see support for PCR0, any/all unsigned config data must be logged to PCR1. * Passing PCRs to non-secure software before logging is not compliant with TCG Static-Root-of-Trust Measurement (SRTM) requirements * It was discussed before in separate conversations… especially in systems where you are talked about two different signing domains where BL33 is a different trust/signing domain. * BL33 should only do hash-log-extend… there is no need for BL33 to be aware of the current PCR value (beyond what is provided in the boot event log). * Based on comments on the mail thread, there seem to be bad assumptions/expectations around TPM accessibility from non-secure world. * Expecting SPI/I2C TPMs to be directly accessed from non-secure world instead of abstracting hardware details via the TCG CRB interface (which has been already standardized as the defacto mechanism for ARM on past mobile, client, and server solutions). * CRB will "just work" for Aptio/EDK2/Linux/Windows/Hyper-V/VMWare * NOTE: This goes back to what is a “productizable” TPM solution. We want it to be turn-key solution for customers without having to support/develop proprietary drivers. -Vivek/Harb

Re: [TF-A] Project Maintenance Proposal for tf.org Projects

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, Thanks to all who have commented on this proposal so far. I've edited the original document to try and incorporate all feedback gathered so far (through the TSC meeting, this email thread and the TF-A tech call). Please have another look and flag anything I might have missed: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… The major changes are: == Removed concept of self-review == This is proving too controversial, several people do not want to allow self-review. Roles of maintainer and code owner are still cumulative but cannot be both exercised for the same patch. The exact method of dealing with review bottleneck is still to be decided. In addition to the current proposal of increasing the maintainers pool, the most popular alternatives mentioned so far are: - Set a minimum wait time for feedback before a patch can be merged without any further delay. - Mandate distinct reviewers for a patch. == Enhanced the section "Patch contribution Guidelines" == Mentioned that patches should be small, on-topic, with comprehensive commit messages. == Added a note about how to deal with disagreement == If reviewers cannot find a common ground, the proposal is to call out a 3rd-party maintainer. == Removed "out-of-date" platform state == Squashed it into "limited support" to reduce the number of states. == Removed "orphan" state from platform support life cycle == This concept is orthogonal to the level of functionality. Added a note in the "Code Owner" section instead. == Per-project guidelines as a complementary document == Added a list of things that it would typically cover. == Added requirement on fully supported platforms to document the features they support == == Added todo mentioning that the proposal might cover branching strategies in the future == The full diff may be seen here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/phriction/diff/73/?l=4&r=5 This proposal is still open for discussion at this stage and further feedback is most welcome!

Linux as BL33

by François Ozog

I want to use Linux as BL33 on a Marvell Macchiatobin. Currently I have the successful boot flow: TFA (mainline v2.2) -> U-Boot (Mainline 2020.04rc5) -> Kernel (5.6.3) with U-root initrd (6.0.0, https://github.com/u-root/u-root ) -> Ubuntu 19.10 The 5.6.3 "intermediary" kernel is 5.5MB uncompressed , u-root initrd is 3.5MB compressed (some form of golang based busybox). I was pointed to the ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 option which is not supported on the Macchiatobin. It does not look too difficult to add, but I'd like to have some feedback/guidance on how to do it: - how to add the option to the TFA platform - how to generate a usable kernel (compile options? non relocatable kernel? output format, i.e. Image, zImage, uImage...) Thanks for your help -FF

Hi Varun, 1. The value of '1' sets ‘standard’ type of BP which according to GCC documentation: "turns on all types of branch protection features.

[RAS] BL32 UnRecognized Event - 0xC4000061 and BL31 Crashed

by 吴斌(郅隆)

Dear Friends, I am using TF-A to test RAS feature. When I triggered DMC620 RAS error in Linux(echo 0x123 > /sys/kernel/debug/sdei_ras_poison). BL32 will recieve UnRecognized Event - 0xC4000061(SP_EVENT_COMPLETE_AARCH64) and finally BL31 crashed. In my understanding, this 0xC4000061 should consumed by BL31, not send it to BL32 again. A piece of error log as below: ************************************* CperWrite - CperAddress@0xFF610064 CperWrite - 1 Section@FFBE91A8, Length 80, SectionType@FFBE9138 CperWrite - Got Error Section: Platform Memory. MmEntryPoint Done Received delegated event X0 : 0xC4000061 X1 : 0x0 X2 : 0x0 X3 : 0x0 Received event - 0xC4000061 on cpu 0 UnRecognized Event - 0xC4000061 Failed delegated event 0xC4000061, Status 0x2 Unhandled Exception in EL3. x30 = 0x0000000000000000 x0 = 0x00000000ff007e00 x1 = 0xfffffffffffffffe x2 = 0x00000000600003c0 x3 = 0x0000000000000000 x4 = 0x0000000000000000 x5 = 0x0000000000000000 x6 = 0x00000000ff015080 x7 = 0x0000000000000000 x8 = 0x00000000c4000061 x9 = 0x0000000000000021 x10 = 0x0000000000000040 x11 = 0x00000000ff00f2b0 x12 = 0x00000000ff0118c0 x13 = 0x0000000000000002 x14 = 0x00000000ff016b70 x15 = 0x00000000ff003f20 x16 = 0x0000000000000044 x17 = 0x00000000ff010430 x18 = 0x0000000000000e3c x19 = 0x0000000000000000 More error log please refer to attachment. My question is, 1. Does BL31 need to send 0xC4000061 event to BL32 again? 2. Does current TF-A support to run RAS test? It seems BL31 will crash. Appreciate your help. BRs， Bin Wu

Re: [TF-A] BRANCH_PROTECTION

by Varun Wadekar

Hello, Can someone please help clarify? -Varun From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Varun Wadekar via TF-A Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 9:58 PM To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: Kalyani Chidambaram Vaidyanathan <kalyanic(a)nvidia.com>; Anthony Zhou <anzhou(a)nvidia.com> Subject: [TF-A] BRANCH_PROTECTION External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hello, Can someone please help me understand if 1. a 'value' of '1' for BRANCH_PROTECTION covers the PAuth protection provided by a value of '2' and/or '3'? 2. there is a way to enable BTI and "pac-ret" at the same time? The docs provide this information. <snip> - ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves. If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use: - 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection - 1: Enables all types of branch protection features - 2: Return address signing to its standard level - 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options and resulting PAuth/BTI<https://tegra-sw-opengrok.nvidia.com/source/s?path=PAuth/BTI&project=stage-…> features. +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ | Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI | +=======+==============+=======+=====+ | 0 | none | N | N | +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ | 1 | standard | Y | Y | +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ | 2 | pac-ret | Y | N | +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ | 3 | pac-ret+leaf | Y | N | +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ This option defaults to 0 and this is an experimental feature. Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it. <snip> Thanks, Varun ________________________________ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
