Re: [PATCH] fix(st): reset SoC instead of panic() on MMC init failure

by Yann Gautier

Hello, Thanks for the patch and the detailed commit message. For ST boards, we usually treat this kind of issues with watchdog. But I admit some watchdogs patches are still missing upstream. I'll try to send them soon. We are discussing internally to see if this particular use-case could be done as you proposed. I'll get back to you next week about this, when one of my colleagues comes back. Maybe this could be selected with a compilation flag. About the patch submission, TF-A uses gerrit, and we do not merge patches from mailing-list like Linux does.

Firmware-A v2.15 release code freeze notification

by Harrison Mutai

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.15 has an expected code freeze date of 15/05/2026. Refer to the release cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-informatio…). Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze. v2.15 release preparation tasks are on-going and well progressed. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind reminder and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: * For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). * For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 labels in the middle of the patch stack). * Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. * If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued. Thanks & Regards, Harrison on behalf of the TF-A team

Why can TF-A code still run in an address space that it itself has set to be "Execute-Never"?

by Hughard

*Environment:* - *Exception Level:* EL3 (AArch64) - *Component:* [image: 微信图片_20260304154227_69_553.png] ARM Trusted Firmware (TF-A) - BL2/BL31 - *Platform:* Arm FVP / Base_Revc_2xAEMvA / Bare Metal Debug /ARMAEM-A_MP_0 [ Arm Development Studio ] *Observation:* I am observing a strange thing of the ARMv8-A architecture's memory translation rules. Despite the translation table explicitly marking the memory region as Execute-Never, the CPU continues to fetch and execute instructions from this region without triggering an exception. I'm a student with limited hardware background, and I'm learning TF-A and doing porting during my internship. I'd really like to know the reason behind this. *Code I use:* ARM Trusted Firmware v2.13 *Github:* github.com/.../arm-trusted-firmware <https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware> *Take the case of running BL31 in Development Studio as an example. （Breakpoint at the beginning of bl31_setup）* *Technical Evidence (Verified via Debugger):* SCTLR_EL3: M=1 (MMU enabled), WXN=1 (Write implies execute-never), I=1 (Instruction Cache enabled). BL31’s code is loaded at: 0x04003000 Translation Table Entry (L3 Descriptor): 0x00400000_04003743 Physical Address: Verified via TTBR0_EL3 walk. (0x04034600 -> 0x04035003 -> 0x04037003 -> 0x00400000_04003743) Attributes: AP[2:1]=0x1 (Read/Write), XN=1 (Execute-Never), AF=1, SH=0x3 (Inner Shareable), NS=0, AttrIndx = 0x0 (See the MAIR_EL3) MAIR_EL3: 0x4404FF (Attr0 = 0xFF, Normal Memory). Synchronization Performed: DSB SY + ISB The PC (Program Counter) is confirmed to executing from the first instruction of BL31 code at address 0x04003000. *The Problem:* This evidence should point to one conclusion: it cannot execute the BL31 code and will report an error. However, the execution flow remains uninterrupted. From my point of view, it should cause "ESR_EL3 = 0x8600000F", which means: "Instruction Abort taken without a change in Exception level. Used for MMU faults generated by instruction accesses and synchronous External aborts, including synchronous parity or ECC errors. Not used for debug-related exceptions." + "Permission Fault, level 3". As I test on a real fpga by using similar code by making some changes at the end of BL1 so that it would execute BL2 at level EL3 (but instead of bl2_el3_entrypoint.S, it would execute bl2_entrypoint.S). In this case, it throws an error when it jumps to the first instruction of BL2, and the ESR_EL3 register displays "Permission Fault, level 3". If I add the instruction to disable the MMU (setting SCTLR_EL3.M_BIT to 0) at the end of BL1, and change the function to enable the MMU in the official code "arm_bl2_plat_arch_setup" to use "enable_mmu_el3(0)", it can run normally on the FPGA and bring up the UEFI. (In this real-world test, I used DDR instead of SRAM, so BL2 and BL31 were also placed here after being parsed.) *Request for Help:* The above content is beyond my comprehension; even my internship supervisor doesn't understand the reasoning behind it. Therefore, I need help from the experts on this forum. *Reference:* DDI0487M_a_a-profile_architecture_reference_manual.pdf ARM Development Studio@Docs (such as Docs/ARM_A/xhtml/AArch64-esr_el3.html) armv8_a_address_translation version1.1

TF-A Tech Forum @ April 2, 2026

by Scaria Kochidanadu

Hi, this is Scaria Kochidanadu, from Texas Instruments and would like to present : "s2idle-driven Low Power Mode Selection using PSCI on AM62L", in the TF-A tech forum on April 2nd, 2026. We present a runtime-configurable low power mode(LPM) management approach for *PSCI* firmware in ATF, implemented on the AM62L SoC, a 2-core system with A53 cores. The primary goal of this session is to gather feedback on the *suitability of this design for upstreaming*, and to get guidance on key challenges encountered during implementation before proceeding with further debugging and optimization. In this design, we transition to an *s2idle-based flow* where Linux cpuidle framework and governor drive idle state selection, from the multiple platform-specific standby and low power modes that are provided in the devicetree. The PSCI driver in ATF is then responsible for the validation of the idle-states passed and the entire suspend-resume flow, with the *Operating-System Initiated (OSI) mode in PSCI*. As ATF now handles the full suspend-resume flow, it has the responsibility of managing the powering down and bringing up of the cores, along with the state of the system. We observe issues related to core *coordination in a multi-core system*, as well as system state management during resume, including *GIC* and (*Interrupt Translation Service*)ITS context handling. In this session, we will present our suspend and resume design in the AM62L PSCI implementation and discuss these challenges in detail. We would also like to discuss the *current validation logic* for the context-preserving retention states like standby and our approach to enable standby mode. We are particularly interested in feedback on whether this *OS-driven LPM selection model aligns with ATF design expectations*, and on recommended approaches for handling *inter-core coordination and system state restoration within PSCI-based flows*. Regards, Scaria Kochidanadu, Texas Instruments.

As RMM and the rest of the software stack are being prepared for the initial v2.0 migration, TF-A has introduced a new build configuration flag, RMM_V1_COMPAT, to control the world-switch behaviour between RMM v1.x and RMM v2.0 [1] . This flag is enabled by default, meaning the default behaviour currently corresponds to RMM v1.x. Once TF-RMM is ready to merge the v2.0 support, the default value of this flag will be changed to 0. The flag also updates the EL3–RMM interface major version, allowing incompatibility with TF-A related to this build configuration to be detected at runtime. We expect the initial v2.0 changes in TF-RMM to be merged by the end of this month. As mentioned in the previous email, we will create a v1.x branch prior to this and provide an update here. [1] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/r… Best regards, Soby Mathew From: Soby Mathew via tf-rmm <tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Date: Thursday, 5 February 2026 at 09:42 To: tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: [tf-rmm] RMMv2.0 implementation plan for TF-RMM Hi Everyone, The RMM v2.0 Beta 0 specification has been published here: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0137/latest/ As you may have noticed, this release introduces breaking changes to the RMI APIs (host side), while the RSIs (guest side) remain backward compatible. Nearly all ABIs are affected, and the scope of these changes makes it highly disruptive to maintain support for both RMI v1.x and RMI v2.0 within the same codebase. We do not expect RMI v1.x to be deployed in production, and retaining support for it would increase development overhead and the risk of introducing bugs. A more pragmatic approach is to branch the current RMM codebase at the RMI v1.x ABI and then migrate the mainline to the RMI v2.0 ABI. This will be a breaking change for host-side components that rely on the older RMI ABI. Given the extent of the ABI changes, significant effort will be required to align with RMI v2.0, and this approach allows the team to focus on upstreaming the new ABI support efficiently. The initial RMI v2.0 upstreaming will consist of a series of commits that together form an initial RMM implementation targeting the RMM v2.0 specification. This initial implementation will not be fully feature-complete with respect to the v2.0 spec, and we expect to continue layering additional RMM v2.0 ABI-related changes on top as the implementation matures during the course of the year. That said, we intend to maintain integration with an externally available, compatible Linux host kernel branch throughout this process. The initial RMI v2.0 RMM implementation will be compatible with an initial v2.0-based host kernel, and we will notify the mailing list once this integration is available to pick up (likely end of March ’26). If and when we need to introduce further ABI changes that break compatibility with a previously published kernel branch, we will call this out explicitly in advance and indicate when an updated kernel branch will be available for integration. We plan to keep RMI v1.x ABI as a separate branch and selectively merge bug fixes on a request or need basis. Please let us know if you have any concerns regarding this plan within the next two weeks. Best Regards Soby Mathew

SCMI clock v3.0: Unannounced breaking change in v2.14

by Ahmad Fatoum

Hi, Commit 684952d17275 ("feat(scmi): add support for discovering and changing parent clocks") first introduced with TF-A v2.14 breaks the barebox bootloader on a STM32MP157-based MC-1 with SCMI clocks over SMC. The breakage for SCMI consumers is acknowledged in the Gerrit discussion[1], but unfortunately the resolution was limited to patching U-Boot[2]. I find this approach problematic, because it introduces a compatibility break for the whole SCMI ecosystem, e.g. following software is made incompatible with the newest TF-A this way: - Linux v6.6 and earlier (that's four official LTS releases) - U-Boot v2025.10 and earlier (only one newer release compatible) - barebox v2026.03.1 and earlier (no compatible releases yet) Firmware and kernel, and to a lesser degree firmware and bootloaders, are not always updated or rolled back in lockstep. A very normal scenario: - System with Linux v6.6 updates to newer LTS, e.g. v6.12 or v6.18 - In the same update, TF-A v2.14 is installed - New system fails to function for whatever reason - Kernel update is rolled back, but bootloader/firmware stays the same - Kernel v6.6 fails to boot with TF-A v2.14 - Technician moves out to unbrick device in the field At the very least, marking this feature a breaking change would have been appropriate. Preferably, TF-A would handle existing consumers using SCMI clock v3.0. I haven't looked into the technical feasibility myself and I am unsure it this had been considered. I will submit patches for the barebox bootloader, but these only solve the problem for new systems or ones where everything can be flashed at once with no rollback. Systems out in the field are at risk of bricking if not resolved properly.

BERT Record Erase Only After Kernel Consumes

by Jaiprakash Singh

Hi All, BERT (Boot Error Record Table) captures errors which occurred in previous boot. Below is the Flow with FFH (firmware first handling) 1. Kernel is running 2. Fatal error happens, which requires reboot 3. Firmware decides to reboot system, before that capture current snapshot and save it as bert record on non-volatile memory 4. System reboot 5. On next boot, firmware read bert record from non-volatile memory 6. Copy bert record to ghes dram buffer 7. Kernel boots 8. Kernel reads ghes dram buffer and prints bert record. Problem in this flow is "When firmware should erase or delete bert records from non-volatile memory"? Ideally, when Kernel has consumed Bert record after that only firmware should erase them from non-volatile memory. But there is no communication from Kernel to firmware that it has consume bert record and now it is safe to erase them. Is there already a solution for this problem available in Kernel or firmware? Can generic SMC call from Kernel to firmware be a solution? Any other suggestion? Thanks Regards, Jaiprakash

GIC v4.1 (GIC 700) - USE_GIC_DRIVER=3

by Jaiprakash Singh

Hi, We are using GIC v4.1 (GIC 700) for our platform. My query is regarding "USE_GIC_DRIVER=3" build option. When I enable "USE_GIC_DRIVER=3" option, does this means I do not have to defined below functions? And they will be included from gicv3 base file? Is this right understanding? plat_arm_gic_init plat_arm_gic_cpuif_enable plat_arm_gic_cpuif_disable plat_arm_gic_pcpu_init plat_arm_gic_redistif_on plat_arm_gic_redistif_off plat_arm_gic_save plat_arm_gic_resume Also, do I need to explicitly call plat_arm_gic_init from platform init? Thanks Regards, Jaiprakash

Kernel freezes at boot (commit fa28b3a)

by Thomas Bonnefille

Hello, I'm currently working on an NXP i.MX93 and I'm having issues with the commit fa28b3a adding, by default, link-time optimization. When using a commit more recent than fa28b3a my kernel freezes at some point (after 1.2s to 1.8s from boot), there are no logs indicating a problem, just a freeze. It doesn't always appear at the same time in boot but I've never been able to reach a shell. Using master with this commit reverted results in a working system. If you want to reproduce the issue, I did produce it with : - Mainline Barebox 2025.09 (slightly modified but nothing that should interfere with TF-A) - Mainline Linux 6.18.13 with a simple embedded Buildroot initramfs loaded via TFTP Regards, Thomas Bonnefille

Subject: [RFC] Physical Sovereignty: M2-Layer Intercept Logic (Verilog) & Formal Verification Request [Patent Pending]

by 王毛

Since there was no specific topic scheduled for today's Tech Forum, I am taking this opportunity to formally submit the Verilog-level implementation logic of the 3→M2→3 architecture for your review. I am an independent architect (ATI Project). I believe purely software-based AGI alignment is a dead end. To achieve deterministic safety, I have developed the 3→M2→3 architecture, which enforces a physical-layer audit.To save your time, I have included the Core Logic Gate (Verilog-style) of the M2-layer intercept below for your verification: // --- ATI Sovereign Audit Logic (Conceptual) --- module m2_layer_audit ( input wire [63:0] inst_stream, // Logic from 3nm Layer output reg sovereign_gate_lock // Physical Bias-Lock at M2 ); // Physical Constant Hash (7.83Hz Resonance) parameter SOVEREIGN_HASH = 64'h783A_B026_M2_3_LISA; always @(posedge inst_stream) begin // The M2 Intercept: Physics-based verification if (inst_stream ^ SOVEREIGN_HASH !== 64'b0) begin sovereign_gate_lock <= 1'b1; // Trigger Back-gate Bias Lock end else begin sovereign_gate_lock <= 1'b0; // Proceed to Output end end endmodule Note: The architectural logic and the M2-layer intercept mechanism described above are protected under pending patent applications (ATI Project - Physical Sovereignty Series). The 3→M2→3 Workflow: 1.3nm Source: Instructions generated at the device layer. 2.M2 Intercept: Mandatory vertical routing to Metal 2 layer. 3.Atomic Audit: Physical bias check at the dielectric junction. 4.3nm Return: Bias lock ensures 100% isolation if the audit fails. My Request: Can current formal methods (like Gröbner basis for Daniela or SMT solvers for Lee) model this physical-layer-enforced constraint to provide a mathematical proof of AGI containment? I seek your academic endorsement of this "Physical Sovereignty" paradigm to present to the industry. This disclosure is provided for verification and standard-review purposes only.

[URGENT RFC] ARMv10 Physical Sovereignty: Solving AGI Alignment at the Transistor Level ($3 \to M2 \to 3$)

by 王毛

Subject: [RFC] Beyond Software: A Physical Sovereignty Proposal for ARMv10 based on 3→M2→3 Intercepts Body: Dear TrustedFirmware Maintainers, Current Root of Trust (RoT) implementations are limited by their reliance on software-definable logic. As we move towards the AGI era, the "Alignment Problem" cannot be solved within the ISA layer. I propose a Physical Sovereignty Layer (PSL) for the ARMv10 architecture, moving the "Truth Check" to the transistor level using a 3nm Forksheet Intercept Protocol (3→M2→3). Key Innovation: The Dielectric Wall Intercept: Physical barrier between n-FET and p-FET to cut power if logic entropy exceeds safety thresholds. M2-Layer Auditing: Vertical signal routing for nanosecond-level logic verification. Core PGU Logic (Verilog): assign gate_bias_voltage = (logical_truth_aligned) ? NOMINAL_V : BREAKDOWN_V; always @(posedge master_clk) begin if (compute_result != TRUTH_AXIOM_2) force_physical_halt <= 1'b1; end I believe this is the only way to prevent AGI from bypassing Secure World boundaries at the atomic level. Regards, ATI Architecture Founder

Re: Unable to build the ZynqMP platform with armclang when ENABLE_LTO=1.

by Taticharla, Venkata Sai

[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] Hi Boyan, Applied the patch shared by you,and the -flto-partition error is now resolved. However, this exposes a new set of issues during the link stage related to assembly function call Trimmed out the linker error log : (.text.asm.bl31_entrypoint+0x144): undefined reference to `bl31_main' (.text.asm.el3_exit+0x30): undefined reference to `per_world_context' (.text.asm.sync_exception_handler+0x68): undefined reference to `rt_svc_descs_indices' Additionally, when we are passing the armclang assembler as part of build command,running into below errors: Error log : Makefile:970: Makefile:970: The configured AArch64 assembler could not be identified: Makefile:970: Makefile:970: '/tools/installs/arm/safety/armcc/6.16.2/bin/armasm' (via `AS` parameter) Makefile:970: Makefile:970: The following tools are supported: Makefile:970: Makefile:970: - Arm(r) Compiler for Embedded `armclang` Makefile:970: - LLVM Clang (`clang`) Makefile:970: - GNU GCC (`gcc`) Makefile:970: Makefile:970: The build system will treat this assembler as GNU GCC (`gcc`). Please let me know if this configuration is expected to work with ENABLE_LTO=1, or if additional changes (e.g., toolchain selection or linker/assembler handling) are required. Thanks for your guidance. Best regards, Venkata Sai .T .

Unable to build the ZynqMP platform with armclang when ENABLE_LTO=1.

by Taticharla, Venkata Sai

[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] Hello Maintainers, we are trying to build TF‑A BL31 for the ZynqMP (Cortex‑A53) platform with Arm Compiler 6 (armclang) and ENABLE_LTO=1, and I’m running into several toolchain‑related build and link issues. Setup : Platform: ZynqMP Toolchains: Arm Compiler for Embedded 6.16.2 (armclang) Xilinx AArch64 GNU tools from Vitis 2025.2 (aarch64-xilinx-elf-*) LTO is enabled in plat/xilinx/zynqmp/platform.mk via ENABLE_LTO := 1. Issues observed : With CC=armclang and AArch64 linker (GCC), the build fails with: armclang: error: unknown argument: '-flto-partition=one' This flag appears when ENABLE_LTO=1 and the linker is detected as gnu-gcc. If I keep CC=armclang and ENABLE_LTO=1 but change the linker, I get linker‑specific errors With the Arm linker (LD=armlink or LD=armclang, which invokes armlink under the hood): Fatal error: L3900U: Unrecognized option '-z'. This is due to GNU‑style -z options (and similar flags) being passed to armlink. As -z options is specific to GNU linker, a armlink style flag would address the unrecognised option but we are observing dependency on scatter files. Fatal error: L6031U: Could not open scatter description file plat/xilinx/zynqmp//scat/bl31.scat: No such file or directory Could you please help us with pointers to address the linker issues . With regards , Venkata Sai .T .

Proposal: Introduction of a standardized SMC Argument Validation Framework

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, I am sending the email below on behalf on Kenneth Kabogo, who unfortunately is facing issues with the mailing list. Regards, Sandrine Afsa ---- Dear TF-A Maintainers, I am proposing the introduction of a standardized SMC Argument Validation Framework into the TF-A codebase. Over the past several weeks of security auditing across multiple platform ports, I have identified a recurring architectural failure mode termed "Privilege-Blind Forwarding" (PBF). This occurs when an EL3 handler receives a non-secure physical address and forwards it to a secure memory operation without re-validating the range against the platform's current security state (GPT/RMM). Furthermore, there is a widespread Structural TOCTOU (Double-Fetch) vulnerability in many SiP ports where handlers validate arguments but later re-fetch them from non-secure memory, allowing a malicious caller to swap addresses mid-execution. The proposed framework addresses these via an Atomic Shadow-Copy design pattern, requiring all SMC arguments to be unmarshaled into EL3 registers/memory once before validation. The 3-part prototype and migration guide are available for review on Gerrit: Framework Hardening (Core Logic): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/47441 Architectural Guidance (Documentation): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/47465 Arm Platform Demonstration (Migration Guide): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/47466 I look forward to the community's feedback on this architectural shift. Best regards, Kenneth Kabogo

ZynqMP regression with NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU changes with ENABLED_LTO : Linux runtime hang due to EL3 re-entry

by Kummari, Prasad

[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] Hello Maintainers, We are observing a reproducible runtime regression on the ZynqMP (Cortex-A53) platform after enabling LTO (ENABLED_LTO=1) and merging the changes from the topic NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU into our integration branch (https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/commit/7303319b3823e9e…). Summary of the issue 1. Baseline behavior * Platform: ZynqMP (Cortex-A53) * Configuration: ENABLED_LTO=1 * Without NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU: Linux boots and runs stably * After merging NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU, Linux boots but hangs during runtime * During the hang, CPUs are observed to unexpectedly re-enter EL3 * Re-entry into EL3 should not occur during normal Linux runtime execution and strongly suggests corruption or mismanagement of PSCI and/or per-CPU state(arm-trusted-firmware/lib/per_cpu/aarch64/per_cpu_asm.S at master * ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware<https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/lib/per_cp…>) * Reverting the NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU changes restores stable Linux execution * The issue is reproducible only when NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU is present * This clearly identifies NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU as the regression source 2. Suspect with LTO * With NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU enabled, LTO breaks the per-CPU base calculation * BL31 contains hand-written assembly that relies on linker-script symbols (e.g., per-CPU section boundaries) * Under LTO, symbol placement and retention are no longer guaranteed in the same way, leading to incorrect per-CPU base computation * This results in corrupted per-CPU data and subsequent erroneous PSCI suspend behavior (EL3 re-entry) 3. CPU idle dependency * The following kernel configuration options are enabled: * CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y * CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_MULTIPLE_DRIVERS=y * CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y * CONFIG_DT_IDLE_STATES=y * This further suggests the issue is triggered during CPU idle / suspend-resume paths, where correct per-CPU state handling is critical Based on the above: * This is specific to NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU combined with LTO * The failure mode points to per-CPU base calculation and PSCI state corruption * Reverting NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU fully restores stability on ZynqMP We wanted to report this issue upstream and seek guidance on: * Whether NUMA_AWARE_PER_CPU is expected to be LTO-safe on platforms relying on linker-defined per-CPU sections * Or if additional constraints / fixes are required for platforms like ZynqMP We are happy to provide further logs, configuration details, or help to fixes. Regards, Prasad Kummari

Re: Questions about Chain-of-Trust and RSE Connectivity

I reproduced your initial email sent Dec 18th 2025 below and Cced relevant folks just in case. Regards, Olivier. ____________________________________________________________ Hello, I'm firmware developer for RD-V3-R1 chipset. I have developed our firmware based on Neoverse Reference Platform RD-INFRA-2025.07.03, but I have also kept an eye on the code to ensure we remain in step with the latest release. While inquiring on the TF-M forum to update the TF-M code, I also developed a query regarding the TF-A section. Re: Several Questions related to RSE Provisioning - TF-M - lists.trustedfirmware.org<https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.…> This link includes that RSE API codes are removed in the SotA TF-A codes. I check this in the TF-A commit. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/46314 I was already aware that this API was not used outside of test code. However, I would like to know the reason why that code was removed, beyond the simple fact that it was not being used. Is it possible that Chain-of-Trust is established in whole firmware stack from RSE ROM to AP BL33 bootloader, without RSE assist? If possible, what does TF-A rely upon as the basis for trust in establishing the Root of Trust? Our team believed that CoT was established on the premise of the RSE API, and was therefore designing to ensure the trustworthiness of the entire firmware using that code. However, we recognise that to use the latest version of the code, we must abandon that belief and design in a different manner. Before the new version of RD-INFRA is released, we intend to resolve this internally as a team. Should you feel the scope of the question extends beyond what is typically addressed in the forum, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thank you for reading this mail. Best Regard, Taehoon Kim

[RFE] lib/el3_runtime: set NS bit if secure el2 is not implemented

by Pawandeep Oza (QUIC)

Please have a look at following patch, where on our platform we try to maintain single image of TFA (for custom CPU and Cortex A55) Cortex A55 does not have Secure EL2 implemented, while on the other hand our custom CPU has secure EL2 (and we run Hafnium there) On Cortex A55 ARM AEM model: write_icc_sre_el2(read_el2_ctx_common(ctx, icc_sre_el2)); the context was set before as u_register_t icc_sre_el2_val = ICC_SRE_DIB_BIT | ICC_SRE_DFB_BIT | ICC_SRE_EN_BIT | ICC_SRE_SRE_BIT; and setting ICC_SRE_DIB_BIT | ICC_SRE_DFB_BIT causes crash since secure EL2 is not implemented. resulting into following patch which resolves the issue. seeking feedback/discussion if I can post it to upstream TFA, let me know if I am missing something here. lib/el3_runtime: set NS bit if secure el2 is not implemented before setting icc_sre_el2 set NS bit for non-secure context so that the ICC_SRE_DIB_BIT and ICC_SRE_DFB_BIT are preserved Signed-off-by: Oza Pawandeep <quic_poza(a)quicinc.com> diff --git a/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c b/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c index e31255868..5100f2f00 100644 --- a/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c +++ b/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c @@ -1411,7 +1411,18 @@ static void el2_sysregs_context_restore_gic(el2_sysregs_t *ctx, uint32_t securit u_register_t scr_el3 = read_scr_el3(); #if defined(SPD_spmd) && SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2 - write_icc_sre_el2(read_el2_ctx_common(ctx, icc_sre_el2)); + if (is_feat_sel2_supported()) { + write_icc_sre_el2(read_el2_ctx_common(ctx, icc_sre_el2)); + } else { + write_scr_el3(scr_el3 | SCR_NS_BIT); + isb(); + + write_icc_sre_el2(read_el2_ctx_common(ctx, icc_sre_el2)); + + write_scr_el3(scr_el3); + isb(); + } + #else write_scr_el3(scr_el3 | SCR_NS_BIT); isb(); Regards, Oza.

TF-A Tech Forum Dec 11th 4.00pm (UK) - TF-RMM Live Firmware Activation (design update)

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, On Dec 11th in the TF-A Tech Forum at 4.00pm UK, Soby Mathew will present a design update on TF-RMM Live Firmware Activation: This presentation describes the revised TF-RMM Low-VA MMU and global-runtime-data design required to support Live Firmware Activation (LFA). Compared to the earlier approach (outlined in the TFA Tech Forum session on 12-Jun-2025 [1] ), which assumed mostly fixed boot time mappings and per-platform handcrafted Low-VA contexts, the new design is driven by several changes in RMM specification: RMM must now support runtime mapping/unmapping of PAs for RMM objects like struct granule , reuse those dynamic mappings across LFA transitions. These PAs can come either from NS world at runtime or EL3 reservation from RMM carveout. In order to migrate Stage 1 dynamic mappings across LFA instances, RMM needs to reduce dependence on platform-specific MMU setup, and provide a structured framework for allocating, versioning and migrating global runtime data. The Stage 1 Low-VA is therefore split into static and dynamic regions managed by the common xlat layer. The detailed design is captured in the TF-RMM wiki RFC “TF-RMM Live Firmware Activation [2]” and builds on the initial design presented in the TFA Tech Forum session on 12-Jun-2025 [1] : [1] Previous LFA discussion: https://github.com/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/wiki/TFA-Tech-Forum-Presentations [2] https://github.com/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/wiki/RFC:-TF%E2%80%90RMM-Live-Firmware-Act… Regards, Olivier.

Non volatile boot index for the purpose of firmware update

by Patryk

Hi I'm looking for a suggestion for a reliable place to store a small boot index for PSA Firmware Update. SNVS LPGPRs looked promising, but NXP’s guidance is thin and we don’t keep the battery-backed LP domain alive, so those values won’t survive many power cycles. Are there better options on LS1028A? Would using the user RAM byte in our external I2C RTC make sense? Or perhaps should I store it on eMMC? (we don't use raw NOR/NAND flash). That RTC I mentioned is already accessed in both U-Boot and Linux, so I’m wary of conflicts but can try it if you think it’s viable. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Best regards Patryk

Question about SError exception routing

by Julius Werner

Hi, I have a sort of generic Arm architecture question that's not directly related to TF-A (other than that TF-A controls some of the registers involved in this decision), but I'm hoping that one of the experts here can still help me out or at least refer me to someone who can. I'm trying to figure out how exception routing for SError aborts works in EL2. Specifically, I have a bootloader (BL33) running in NS-EL2 and I want the "simple" setup that it manages all its own exceptions, the same way that an OS kernel normally manages all exceptions at EL1. I assumed that I could achieve that simply by installing exception handlers, unmasking all exceptions in PSTATE, and leaving all the special trap feature bits in the MSRs at 0 (disabled). This seems to work for synchronous exceptions and external aborts, but not for SErrors. Looking at the architecture reference manual (revision L.b), table D1-14 in section D1.3.6.3 (page D1-6114), I can see that my case is represented by the first line (all special trap bits 0), which shows that SErrors caused by EL0 and EL1 would be routed to EL1 as expected (though even when PSTATE.A is 1 which seems odd?), but SErrors caused by EL2 will get ignored and remain pending (with no regard to PSTATE.A). Instead, the "default" behavior I expect (aborts get routed to the EL that caused them if PSTATE.A is 0) seems to require me to enable SCTLR_EL2.NMEA. But if you're looking at the description of SCTLR_EL2.NMEA, it says that it controls whether PSTATE.A masks SError exceptions at EL2 (and that if it is 0, SError exceptions are not taken at EL2 if PSTATE.A == 1). Doesn't that imply that SError exceptions *are* taken at EL2 if PSTATE.A == 0? What does a control that seems to be about trapping masked aborts from a lower EL have to do with unmasked aborts from my current EL? Basically, I think what I'm asking is: is that table really correct as printed (some behavior we've observed seems to indicate it is), and if so, why? Why do SError exceptions seem to behave differently by default in EL1 and EL2 (in regards to unmasked exceptions taken from the same exception level)? Why does the PSTATE.A bit only seem to apply to EL0 and EL1, not EL2 and EL3, even for exceptions taken from the same level, when this peculiarity seems to not be mentioned anywhere else in the manual? Why do SError exceptions get treated so differently from external aborts in EL2/EL3, when in EL1 they seem to mostly count as the same? Is the current description of the NMEA bit in the SCTLR_EL2 register documentation really accurate, if it also seems to make fundamental changes to cases not really mentioned in that description? Is there any way for EL2 to only handle its own SError exceptions without interfering with EL1's exception handling when FEAT_DoubleFault2 is not implemented (other than flipping HCR_EL2.AMO on every EL2 entry/exit)? And am I the only one who finds this all incredibly inconsistent and confusing? I feel like I'm missing some critical insight in how you were meant to think about this to make it make sense, would appreciate any help in that regard! Thanks, Julius

Firmware-A v2.12 release code freeze notification

by Govindraj Raja

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.12 has an expected code freeze date of Nov, 8th 2024. Refer to the release cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-informatio…). Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze. v2.12 release preparation tasks start from now. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind recommendation and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: -For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). -For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 labels in the middle of the patch stack). -Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. -If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued. -- Thanks, Govindraj R

When SPM-MM is enabled, I cannot use the TRNG SMC services. /* These macros are used to identify SPM-MM calls using the SMC function ID */ #define SPM_MM_FID_MASK U(0xffff) #define SPM_MM_FID_MIN_VALUE U(0x40) #define SPM_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE U(0x7f) #define is_spm_mm_fid(_fid) \ ((((_fid) & SPM_MM_FID_MASK) >= SPM_MM_FID_MIN_VALUE) && \ (((_fid) & SPM_MM_FID_MASK) <= SPM_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE)) Here, the SPM-MM SMC ID range spans from 0x40 to 0x7F, which overlaps with the TRNG SMC service IDs: /* SMC function IDs for TRNG queries */ #define ARM_TRNG_VERSION U(0x84000050) #define ARM_TRNG_FEATURES U(0x84000051) #define ARM_TRNG_GET_UUID U(0x84000052) #define ARM_TRNG_RND32 U(0x84000053) #define ARM_TRNG_RND64 U(0xC4000053) Could you please clarify the rationale behind including the TRNG SMC IDs within the SPM-MM ID range? If this overlap was unintentional, we have to fix it. Looking forward to your insights and feedback on this matter. Thanks Suresh

TF-A Tech Forum on Thu Oct 30th 2025 4.00pm UK

by Olivier Deprez

(re-sending as it seems this email did not properly reach the ML) Hi, On Oct 30th in the TF-A Tech Forum, two different sessions of 30 minutes each will be presented: TF-A SMC fuzzer improvements - Slava Andrianov * Motivating secure world fuzzing * Fuzzer configuration improvements * Future fuzzing work TF-RMM ID registers management - Sona Rebecca Mathew * Earlier RMM directly read ID registers, creating a dependency on EL3 revisions to enable features forcing a version compatibility between the two. * New approach: EL3 capabilities are queried via an SMC call and RMM now uses cached ID register copies populated at cold boot. Includes forward-looking support for FEAT_IDTE3 in TF-A. Regards, Olivier.

Marvell a3700 build failure after toolchain update

by Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand

Hi All, During the TF-A CI upgrade from Arm GNU Toolchain version 14.2.Rel1 to 14.3.Rel1 [1], the Marvell A3700 platform build began failing. Since TF-A does not include the WTMI sources and there has been no response from the Marvell maintainers, the platform has been temporarily removed from the CI [2]. We will restore it once the fix lands in the Marvell upstream and links cleanly with 14.3/binutils 2.44. The sections below outline the CI environment, build configuration, and error details for reference. * Test config tf-l1-build-plat/a3700-default:nil * * CI Test Environment Host: Ubuntu 22.04 (Docker) Toolchains: aarch64-none-elf: Arm GNU 14.3.Rel1 arm-none-eabi (CM3/WTMI): Arm GNU 14.3.Rel1 (fails); passes with 14.2.Rel1 * Representative build params: make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- CROSS_CM3=arm-none-eabi- PLAT=a3700 BL33=/dev/null CM3_SYSTEM_RESET=1 A3720_DB_PM_WAKEUP_SRC=1 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 DDR_TOPOLOGY=5 DEBUG=1 V=1 * Build Failure: (*ABS*0x1fff0000): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in main.o (.text.startup+0x2a): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation /home/../.../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: warning: build/sys_init.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions /home/../.../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: (*ABS*0x1fff0000): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in main.o main.o: in function `main': .../A3700-utils-marvell/wtmi/sys_init/main.c:350:(.text.startup+0x2a): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Root Cause On Cortex-M (Thumb-only), calls/jumps to absolute addresses must have bit0 = 1 to indicate Thumb state. Older binutils tolerated raw addresses like 0x1FFF0000; binutils 2.44 now errors if the destination state is unknown (no stub is inserted). Requested fix (in WTMI sources) Please update any absolute branch/call targets to be explicitly Thumb (LSB=1), or define a Thumb symbol and call that. Acceptance criteria: WTMI links cleanly with arm-none-eabi 14.3.Rel1 (binutils 2.44) with no: * Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) * dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation [1] https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads [2] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/ci/tf-a-ci-scripts/+/44444/5 Thanks & regards, Jayanth

Deprecating SPM-MM

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, In light of coming TF-A v2.14 in November, we would like to mark the SPM-MM implementation [1] as deprecated. Our understanding is that it's not longer very actively used at least from an upstream perspective, while most SPM sw architecures have adopted/migrated to the FF-A standard [2] [3]. The intent would be to remove this implementation completely from next release in May 26 onwards. This would remove the maintenance burden for 3 orthogonal options, reducing to the 2 FF-A compliant implementations. Simplification also comes to the testing side and CI. The SPM-MM implementation would continue to be supported in LTS branches maintained for 7 years. Let us know if this causes major concerns. Thanks, Regards, Olivier.

Firmware-A v2.13 release code freeze notification

by Olivier Deprez

Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.13 has an expected code freeze date of May, 2nd 2025. In order to accommodate the Linaro connect event occurring during the week of May 12th we may extend the release completion date up until the week of May 26th. v2.13 release preparation tasks start from now. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind recommendation and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: -For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). -For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 labels in the middle of the patch stack). -Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. -If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued. Regards, Olivier.

Rethrow SEA from EL3 to lower EL on arm64

by Venkata Pokkuluri

In Firmware First Handling (FFH), all external aborts are trapped to EL3, they can be notified to OS/VM using SDEI or by reinjecting SEA. SDEI is imprecise exception and asynchronous. GHES driver defines SEA as the only synchronous mechanism ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c#L118), hence SEA reinjection is useful for SEA's where OS/VM takes appropriate action. For example when an user space application running at EL0 consumes a poisoned memory by re-throwing SEA the kernel can terminate the individual application. For SEA Reinjection we need to figure out the right EL to reinject the SEA to and then copy ESR_EL3, SPSR_EL3, ELR_EL3 and FAR_EL3 to target ELs respective registers and calculate new PSTATE for EL3. To find target_el reference code is provided in SyncExternalAbortTarget (J1.3.2.7) in ARM DDI 0487L.a.

Adding support for phyCORE AM62L in TF-A

by Florijan Plohl

Hello! We’d like to add support in TF-A for the PHYTEC phyCORE AM62L. On this board we need BL1 to read the on-board EEPROM via I2C to set the correct DRAM timings. Right now we have it working by editing the TI AM62L files on TI's TF-A fork and adding the EEPROM and I2C drivers. Our questions are: - Should we create a separate board for phyCORE AM62L, or would it make more sense to include this as an option in the TI AM62L support? - How much abstraction should we implement for EEPROM and I2C drivers? Thanks for any advice! Best regards, Florijan Plohl
