Hi,
Sorry for the wide distribution and if this isn't the appropriate board.
I'm interested in TF-A image construction for the i.MX8QM SoC platform
and basic image construction instructions.
I'd like to understand how to deploy a user application for the Cortex-A53
core and flash image construction. For example, how to deploy BL31.bin and
launch a user app for the platform and what does the following TF-A console
log imply for user apps:
INFO: Entry point address = 0x80020000
INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9
Any intro info is appreciated. Thanks again.
Regards
Ravi
Hi Sandeep,
Here are a few more details.
The reasoning differs when considering pre-Armv8.4 platforms (1) vs Armv8.4 platforms onwards with secure virtualization enabled (2).
Case (1):
EHF framework unifies EL3 exceptions delivered via different vectors and allows them to be handled in a common way. It is also allowing exception delegation handling to lower secure ELs. This framework although primarily used for RAS, is also used for SDEI and platform EL3 interrupts. EL3's role in this case is about trapping and routing the event to appropriate the component (when the interrupt/exception is not handled solely at EL3).
The interoperability between EHF and a Trusted OS is not accurately defined apart from this guidance in EHF documentation:
"In order for S-EL1 software to handle Non-secure interrupts while having EHF enabled, the dispatcher must adopt a model where Non-secure interrupts are received at EL3, but are then synchronously handled over to S-EL1."
Until then for the specific RAS handling scenario, this was delegated to a StandaloneMM partition running at S-EL0 (through the SPM-MM implementation) and not necessarily delegated to a TOS.
In order to better help you, we would need more information on the scenario you intend to achieve, and the environment (Arm architecture version and extensions, GIC version).
Or maybe your question was out of curiosity for the longer term approach (2) as described below?
Case (2):
As a general rule, it is preferred that EL3 reduces its footprint and minimises platform specific handling code.
EHF framework would most probably not be enabled at all.
The priority logic provided by the GIC PMR register to mask NS interrupts cannot really work as before because all of trusted EL3/S-EL2 and untrusted S-EL1 SPs can manipulate this register.
Any secure/non-secure interrupt triggered while running SEL1/SEL0 is trapped first by the S-EL2 firmware (or the so-called SPMC). This translates into SCR_EL3.FIQ/IRQ=0 in the secure world.
Group1NS interrupts are redirected to SPMD for routing to NWd.
A Group0 interrupt is possibly redirected to a platform driver into an S-EL1 secure partition (e.g. a RAS handling service).
Hence it does no longer hold true that Group0 interrupts are necessarily qualified as "EL3 interrupts".
It is still possible to redirect Group0 interrupts from S-EL2 to EL3 and be handled there, but as said, this is a less preferred approach.
Either way when NWd runs (with SCR_EL3.FIQ=1/IRQ=0), a Group1S/Group0 secure interrupt is trapped at EL3 and routed to SPMD then SPMC.
The SPMC can take the decision to resume the secure partition which registered the corresponding secure INTID.
This design does mean that SDEI interrupt handling would need SPMC and BL31 collaboration and this is something we are working on.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Olivier.

Subject: Re: [TF-A] Query SPD/SPMD behavior with EHF
Thanks Soby and Dan for confirmation on TSPD. I can see a few more gaps
in the related area.
"The EL3 interrupts (G0 interrupts) should be able to pre-empt Fast
SMC i.e. any execution context for that matter ".
This should apply to all SPDs including SPMD. However I learned from
@Oliver that SPMD/SPMC design traps FIQs to S_EL2.
In that case a RAS interrupt can be masked by S_EL2 software (eg:
Hafnium). Probably by design it will be ensured that S_EL2 will never
mask the physical FIQ ?
S_EL2 FIQ handler will exit to EL3/SPMD by SMC call. And depending on
the pending interrupt type either it can exit to NWd OR invoke el3 fiq
vector handler synchronously ?
Are there limitations if we trap fiq to EL3 instead ?
Thanks
Sandeep

Still, the system boots, and I can login.
That reserved value the kernel finds is obviously off. Does it come from
TF-A, is U-Boot causing this in the presence of TF-A, or is the kernel
itself getting it wrong? Or am I missing some switch that is not in the
kernel defconfig?

Hi all,
docs/plat/marvell/armada/build.rst says that you should use branch
mv_ddr-armada-atf-mainline from [1]. But that no longer works with tf-a
master. The mv-ddr-devel branch builds fine (didn't run the result, though).

Hi,
Recently, I learned about Nailgun [1] - leak information by snooping across privilege boundaries with the help of CoreSight. The proof of concept uses Raspberry Pi3 (uses Cortex A-53 CPUs) platform to demonstrate the exploit.
Has anyone reviewed this attack and does it affect other Arm v8 CPUs too? Do we have support in TF-A to disable CoreSight to mitigate against such attacks? Are there any other mitigations against this attack?

Hi,
I'm adding basic SDEI support to the zynqmp platform (just private event
0 for now), and I'm wondering what to do with
plat_sdei_validate_entry_point().
Looking around what other SDEI implementations did, neither tegra nor
the recently added imx8mm implement this and rather rely on the empty
stub from plat/common/aarch64/plat_common.c. As zynqmp also pulls in
plat/arm/common/arm_common.c and doesn't find any
arm_validate_ns_entrypoint, my search started.
Is there anything that makes the check for tegra and imx8mm unneeded? Or
are they both broken and should better use
plat_sdei_validate_entry_point from plat/arm/common/arm_common.c?
Thanks,
Jan
Hi Maxim,
There could be some terminology mixup that needs to be clarified. These are the typical words related to boot in TF-A:
1. cold boot : This is the first boot after a power cycle. Typically a single CPU is powered up and executed the entire boot flow upto linux
2. Warm boot: The Cold boot has completed and transitioned into Linux kernel and then the kernel invokes PSCI_CPU_ON to power up the secondary CPUs. This is the CPU `hotplug` operation from linux side.
The figure you referred to mentions these boot scenarios.
Now reboot is system reset + cold boot. Ideally if QEMU has to support reboot, it needs to be able to reset the system (CPUs and peripherals) from software. The flow you suggest for QEMU could work but if the CPU and the peripherals are not reset properly, you could encounter errors later on because software could assume reset values for some registers and hence may not initialize it. Also there are registers that are 1 time write and cannot be written to again without proper reset cycle, and these could problems during execution.
Best Regards
Soby Mathew

sorry, wrong email thread.
Another way around is to not support "hot reset" in ATF, but make qemu
reboot is implement some watchdog for qemu virt platform. That also
works for me with quick implementation with lhe link which I sent in
the previous email.

Hello,
I'm trying to understand why "warm reboot" is not currently
implemented in TF-A for qemu targets. I.e. in case of qemu armv8 boot
atf->optee->uboot->linux and then reboot, cpu jumps to BL31
qemu_system_reset() function which just calls panic(). I'm wondering
why loading images from this stage is not happening? Something
similar to bl2_load_images()->load_image() to load uboot and optee os
again and run them with bl31_main()?
If I understand "CPU reset" spec [1] correctly, warm boot from reset
vector in BL31 again to Non-Secure world has to work.

When BRANCH_PROTECTION is set to “3”, BP_OPTION is set to “pac-ret+leaf”.

The EL3 interrupts (G0 interrupts) should be able to pre-empt Fast SMC. Hence the usage of GIC PMR to mask the NS interrupts. As Dan says, the TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT predates the EHF design and it seems there is a problem as you describe.
> EHF already ensures this by GIC PMR adjustment. So disabling routing model seems unnecessary in this case.

You are right. Routing model manipulation is not required when EL3 interrupts are present as GIC PMR manipulation should take care of the required behaviour for yielding vs atomic SMC. You also need to ensure it works as expected when EL3 interrupts are not enabled and when EHF is disabled.

FYI we are trying to get the OpenCI to use a different label (Validation-Bot-Review) which is not part our of day to day workflow for patch approvals but standard plugins being used don't seem to support non standard labels so they are working on an alternative approach. Hopefully it will be fixed soon so we don't have to manually remove the OpenCI bot setting on the CR label.

Hi Yann,
The OpenCI is under enablement/works, and I think you can safely ignore those CR-1/Verified-1 from the bot.
Current CI strategy is still about maintainers applying Allow-CI+1/2 (resulting in Verified+1 on success).
Sorry for the trouble it causes presently.

Hi Dan,
I am not sure if this is mentioned anywhere in any documents but I
think EHF handlers should be able to preempt all execution contexts at
lower ELs and lower ELs should never be able to mask such interrupts.
If the behavioral expectation is set the implementation can be fixed.

Right, that is the case for yielding SMC handling where both NS
interrupts and EL3/G0 interrupts can preempt the S_EL1/S_EL2 context.
But I would expect the same routing model even for 'Fast SMC' unlike
what is happening in TSPD.

Sorry, if EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1 then obviously NS interrupts are routed to EL3 first, but the TSPD re-enables NS interrupts before handing over to the TSP to handle yielding calls, via a call to ehf_allow_ns_preemption.

The TSPD's TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT functionality predates the EHF, which probably explains why NS interrupts are disabled in 2 ways in this config (i.e. when both TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT and EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING equal 1). I guess it's possible that the call to disable the routing model can be safely removed in this config but it would require some thorough code review and testing. I'm not sure if this config is tested much at all.

I think G0 interrupts should be handled in this case but I'm not sure if this is easy to fix in the TSPD.

Hmm, I thought OP-TEED was more like the TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=0 case, where NS interrupts are routed to S-EL1 while processing a yielding SMC in S-EL1? Perhaps that's a better TSPD config for you to follow?

Hi,
EHF activates the routing model for ‘INTR_TYPE_EL3’ CSS = 0 , TEL3 = 1
ie FIQ trapped to EL3 and not visible and not mask-able to lower ELs.
Which means G0 interrupts (all EHF interrupts) expected to preempt any
execution context. And secure state cannot mask such interrupts
eg: critical error interrupts. Sort of NMI behavior.
However from TSPD code I see ‘TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT’ enforces a
slightly different behavior. G0 interrupt cannot preempt a fast smc handler
in SPD.
Except during yielding SMC ‘disable_intr_rm_local(INTR_TYPE_NS, SECURE);’
is in effect. Intention is to avoid NS interrupt preempt secure execution
(Fast SMC).
But I think that will also disable G0 interrupt as both NS interrupt and G0
interrupt are on FIQ.
This is my understanding from the code please confirm if this is correct.
Do we think it is not aligned with G0 interrupt preemption rule. Or do we
treat Fast SMC at S_EL1/EL2 as non interruptible.
I want to handle something similar in OP-TEED along with EHF depending on
what is the expected behavior.
Thanks

Hello,
ATF currently uses non-portable printf format specifiers for fixed width types defined in stdint.h
In addition, ATF redefines types defined in gcc for stdint.h with its own custom types causing additional issues.
This causes compilation issues when porting code to/from ATF.
AND, generates coverity parse errors as int64_t and uint64_t are incorrectly defined in ATF vs. gcc for aarch64.
The printf format specifiers in inttypes.h are to be used for the proper format specifiers.
And, uint64_t/int64_t should be defined the same as in gcc.
I tried fixing up all the instances of int64 printf format specifiers by introducing inttypes.h and redefined the stdint types correctly here:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5437
We have checked the change into our local tree so that everything compiles and runs in our system. Please accept change upstream.

Scott

Hi again,
After further check, it looks gcc 9.2 already supports the appropriate option.
Maybe you missed ARM_ARCH_MINOR on the build command line depending on whether you need PAuth (Armv8.3) and/or BTI (Armv8.5).
BRANCH_PROTECTION=2 or 3 => need ARM_ARCH_MINOR=3 (at least)
BRANCH_PROTECTION=1 or 4 => need ARM_ARCH_MINOR=5
Regards,
Olivier.

Hi @Olivier<mailto:Olivier.Deprez@arm.com>,
We have been trying to use Cactus as SPMC on Tegra194 (pre 8.4) platforms and have faced the following issues.
1. Cactus_main.c - During cold boot, Cactus checks if the ffa-id for the instance of Cactus == SPM_VM_ID_FIRST. It issues FFA_ID_GET SMC to TF-A which returns the spmc_id in return. But on pre-8.4 platforms the value does not match SPM_VM_ID_FIRST and so the system assumes that the device is running on a post-8.4 CPU. The problem is that TF-A returns the spmc_id for this SMC, which seems incorrect. I don't understand why Cactus needs to know its own VM_ID on pre-8.4 CPUs. Can we assume that only one SPMC can run on pre-8.4?
2. Cactus_ffa_tests.c - The ` ffa_partition_info_get_test` incorrectly queries the partition info for secondary and tertiary VMs on pre-8.4 CPUs.
3. In general the boot tests that execute within Cactus seem incorrect to me. Some tests expect the presence of a non-secure world payload, which is not available at this point in the boot. This leads to numerous crashes and asserts during boot.
4. Cactus incorrectly uses a hard-coded address 0x7300000 as the RX/TX memory base. It should be using a platform defined value instead. We do not support this memory address on Tegra194.
5. The debug UART in Cactus needs rework too. Right now, it only supports PL011 as the UART driver.
6. TF-A SPMD forwards some SMCs to the non-secure world without checking if a non-secure world payload exists. This causes crashes during cold boot.
Please let me know if you have commits for any or all of these issues. We have some WIP commits that we can push to gerrit for review, if required.
Thoughts?

Hello arm expects,
While reading the tf-a spec about the section "3.5.1 Register state".
It described that "The MMU must be disabled for a partition that does
not run in S-EL0".
Does this mean that the S-EL1 SP need to create their own page table
and enable the MMU itself. I wonder in this way, it is not very friendly
to a SP developer.
Since the SP can be a verify simple binary, maybe a single driver which
can benefited from the isolation from other partitions.
So in the pointer of developing a single driver. I think it do not need
to care about the MMU configuration. It will be more friendly to be as
easy as developing a user-land binary. The SPMC(SEL2) can do this
configure for the SEL1's page-tables and enable MMU for SEL1 before jump
into the SP.
So I want to discuss here to understand the meaning behind it.
Cheers,
Feng

That is the case for Secure sbsa WS1.
NS WS0 ----> EL1 X (optional) but linux already implements it .
NS WS1 ----> EL3 X TF-A Do not handle it. Hence the patch.
Not handling it altogether is not an option I guess.
S WS0 -------> EL3 X (optional) . Platform might want to log
this condition.
S WS1 ----------------------------------------> handled by a higher agent.

Ultimately 'system_reset2' seems to be the thing everyone would like
to do as part of action. Then to reduce duplicate code we can have at

The rare lockup of core where it's not able to respond (not the
software ones) requires some other agent to detect and reset/recover
the system. Linux watchdog (ns sbsa WS1) will go unnoticed in such
cases.
ie. even if the watchdog hardware detected the lockup and indicated by
WS0 then WS1 .. both were not acted upon. If it were the secure
watchdog then no issues.

Hi Sandeep
Arm development platforms that have an SBSA secure watchdog like N1SDP do not register an interrupt handler for the WS0 signal. They simply wait for the WS1 signal, which is fed to a higher agent (in this case the System Control Processor), which resets the platform. There is no explicit watchdog interrupt handling functionality in TF-A.
If your platform does not have a higher agent that handles WS1 then I guess you could add a handler in TF-A as you suggest in your code snippet, though I'm not sure if the maintainers would want this in generic SBSA code. Also, I don't see why you need both callback(s) and the explicit call to psci_systrem_reset2(), when presumably the callback(s) would do the latter.
> Q1- What happens if core is stuck and interrupts are not taken.
It's rare for EL3 interrupts not to be taken when the core is stuck, unless an EL3 exception handler itself is stuck, in which case I'm not sure there's much you can do. That's why it's good to have a higher agent.
> Or it has to be registered as a RAS priority exception.
I don't think that would help, unless the system was flooded with higher priority exceptions that prevented the watchdog handler from running.

Hi,

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0029/d/?lang=en
3.2.3 Watchdogs The required behavior of watchdog signal 1 of the
Non-secure watchdog is modified in level 3– firmware and is required to be
routed as an SPI to the GIC. It is expected that this SPI be configured as
an EL3 interrupt, directly targeting a single PE. A system compatible with
level 3- firmware must implement a second watchdog, and is referred to as

Secure memory address space and must not be aliased to the Non-secure

interrupt, directly targeting a single PE.
Q1- What happens if core is stuck and interrupts are not taken. Non-secure
watchdog will expire and ultimately results in a WS1 which is also not
taken as the core is not responding.
If WS1 were to another subsystem (eg: SCP) then it would take action.
In current scheme is it the secure sbsa wdg expected to detect such
hang ?
Q2- How to handle sbsa watchdog interrupt at EL3. Please suggest if I
should make a patch in following approach to start with. Or it has to be
registered as a RAS priority exception.

Subject: RE: [TF-A] [RFC] Api to power down all cores
Thanks,
I will use callback as param to get rid of the 'plat*'. 'void psci_stop_other_cores(void (*stop_func)(uregister_t mpidr))'
Platform can call like .. psci_stop_other_cores(ipi_send_stop); I will
update the patch tomorrow.
This api is not invoked by psci generic functions. So I think that should suffice your concern. Anyways I will take care any other suggestions.
IPI implementation is under flag 'IPI_SUPPORT'.

Hi Soby,
I realize using term 'PSCI API' in rfc tag is misleading like Achin
mentioned in gerrit.
Here I wanted to have a generic API to 'stop_other_cores' in secure world.
The usage is platform firmware specific.
Implementation of 'stop_other_cores' depends on a generic 'IPI' support
(1).
It leverages the existing EHF. So I feel it is not adding and complexity or
overhead in normal execution path.
'stop_other_cores' API implementation depends on some psci private
functions to traverse the pd nodes and
extract MPIDRs for target pe list. That was the reason to put the function
within psci lib. So there are two things.
1- Does this idea of 'stop_other_core' api qualify to be generic
2- Does a generic IPI layer make sense
Thanks

I intend to do 'stop_other_cores' in platform extension of
'plat_system_resetx()',

Hi Sandeep,
Just to understand better, if there is a secure side panic/watchdog interrupt, then the secure side is already able to do such an intervention without the availability of a PSCI API to the NS side.
In case the NS world has crashed, then PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET and PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF APIs can be invoked which then does the appropriate actions. From my reading, the PSCI specification doesn't prevent firmware implementation of the reset and off API's from doing the kind of implementation as per your proposal.
Best Regards

Hi,
I am proposing to have a generic api in psci lib which can be used
to force power down all other cores from any initiating core analogous
to 'smp_cpu_stop' in linux. It is immune
to interrupt lock by EL1/EL2 software.
Platforms may use this api in case of secure side panic, secure
watchdog interrupt handling or if required in certain types of warm
resets. The usage is platform dependent.
This depends on a generic implementation of secure IPI (1) which uses
EHF to handle IPI at platform defined priority. We probably require
more types of secure IPIs.
Please review the series

Hi Raghu,
Thank you very much for your feedback!
It seems like a good idea to automate it and the approach looks fine to me. Is my understanding correct that the generated *dtsi* files will need to be included in the *dts* files once and the hope is if there is a change, the dts files need not change since the dtsi files will be regenerated every time during build?
Yes, your understanding is correct.
The other way this could be done is that the tool can generate dts files which have nodes that change at build time, which can then be compiled and added as dtb files, added to the FIP. That way fvp_tb_fw_config.dts and fvp_spmc_manifest.dts will remain the same and not have any dependency on a changing dtsi file. I’d prefer that dts files that change frequently like in this case be autogenerated entirely and as separate files. That _seems_ cleaner but may not work out so in practice.
I agree with you that the approach you described above would make the whole process a bit cleaner.
One way this could be done is by passing the *.pre.dts files (generated after the initial processing from dtc) to the script that are part of the patch. Last time I worked on this, I added the possibility to generate the nodes structure to an already existing dts file. Thus, expanding the previous configuration with the values of the new nodes. However, this work needs further testing.
Alternatively, the python package I am using in the script can parse and generate dtb instead of dts. I was thinking to add the option to the dts_gen.py script (maybe rename it as well) to operate over the dtb format. So, making sure that "in-place" changes are working , and adding the option to operate over dtb files should allow for the cleaner approach that you referred. As is and making the referred changes, most of the script's logic should be preserved, so I don't think there will be a lot of changes to the current implementation, which is good. Please let me know if I was not very clear, or if you have any other comments.
Also thanks @Gyorgy Szing<mailto:Gyorgy.Szing@arm.com> for the feedback on the current state of the patch, I appreciate it.
Let me know if anyone has questions, or any other comments to the scripts and/or current discussion.
I will notify once the work progresses.
Best regards,
João Alves

Hello all,
I have been trying to ease the process of adding a Secure Partition to a system using Secure Hafnium.
There is no way to automatically generate SP's specific configuration into TF-A's code-base. Considering FVP as the target platform, we need to manually add partition's specific configuration to files "fvp_tb_fw_config.dts" and "fvp_spmc_manifest.dts" (files held in FVP platform specific folder of TF-A codebase). The following snippet shows the hypervisor node from "fvp_spmc_manifest.dts", for the simple case of having in the system two Cactus Secure Partitions:
hypervisor {
compatible = "hafnium,hafnium";
vm1 {
is_ffa_partition;
debug_name = "cactus-primary";
load_address = <0x7000000>;
};
vm2 {
is_ffa_partition;
debug_name = "cactus-secondary";
load_address = <0x7100000>;
vcpu_count = <2>;
mem_size = <1048576>;
};
};
Some of the above properties are available in the partition's manifest, for example "debug_name" and "load_address".
If changing one of these values in the partition's manifest or adding another SP, we also need to update the referred files.
In order to avoid the burden of having to manually update partition's specific configuration and to make whole system more scalable, I started to write a script that is able to generate a specific node structure and fetch any property value from a any dts file. Then, applied it to fetch/generate SPs specific configuration and include it in aforementioned configuration files.
Although it is still a Work In Progress, the work can be found in the patch: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5150.
The implementation is divided between two scripts:
* "dts_gen.py" - This is a generic solution for the problem. It can fetch/generate/alter any configuration using dts files.
* "sp_dts_gen.py" - Uses the previous command to solve the specific problem regarding SPs specific configuration.
Although is still Work In Progress, I am looking to obtain feedback/reviews from anyone that could be interested in using this implementation.

Hello Olivier,
Hope you are doing well. As you already know, we are trying to test FF-A, using Cactus, on pre-8.4 Tegra platforms. While doing so, we saw that cactus.dts was missing the following properties
1. maj_ver
2. min_ver
3. spmc_id
plat_spm_core_manifest_load() expects these values in the core manifest file. i.e. cactus.dts.
What would be the right path forward? Do we add these fields to the dts file? Or modify plat_spmd_manifest.c file?

Hi,
I guess I'm late for the party. But I have some questions. Looking at the initial email from Andrew, these two points stood out.
--8<--
1. Whilst looking at the speculative AT workaround in KVM, I compared it against the workaround in TF-A and noticed an inconsistency whereby TF-A **breaks** KVM's workaround.
2. TF-A will also have to be compatible with whatever workaround the EL2 software is using
-->8--
Some questions about the unwanted dependency that this fix in TF-A creates.
1. Does KVM team always announce all the dependencies, along with their version numbers, that consumers should use?
2. With the fix in TF-A, are we forcing consumers to upgrade their TF-A blobs? Is this normal practice for consumers?
3. How do we plan to make the upgrade from TF-A side easier? Runtime detection of the feature (similar to the Spectre and Meltdown fixes) comes to mind.

Hi Will,
Good point, this effectively means every EL2 software must implement the fix similar to KVM for this workaround to be effective (or else EL3 should also be audited to not to have any executable AT instruction). This needs to be communicated.
Since this is crossing TF-A boundary and need wider communication, I can initiate some internal discussion on how to communicate this properly.

Hi,
>> [OD] The scenario we have in TF-A for pre-Armv8.4, is booting OP-TEE as the SPMC (or in other words a colocated SP+SPMC)., but that's a bare SPMD/SPMC boot case without exercising full fledged FF-A (only few direct message exchanges at the moment).
[VW] I think it makes sense to keep cactus alive for pre-8.4 in tfa-tests repo. Using cactus would help us verify the initial boot expectations without having to port OP-TEE. I guess, successful handling of the FFA_VERSION call would be a good milestone for us.

Subject: RE: cactus and ivy on Tegra194
Hi Olivier,
Thanks for your response. Looks like Ivy is still getting built in the tree and the fixes I have made are for the UART console driver - so can still be pushed upstream.
[OD] It is built although it has no usage in any of TF-A CI test AFAIK. It is still using the former SPCI Alpha SPRT which is now deprecated.
I should have mentioned earlier - Tegra194 is based off Arm v8.2. So, we cannot run Hafnium on that platform. The intent is to test the SPMD/SPMC and FF-A interface, before Hafnium comes along.
So, the question is, can you please post instructions for pre-8.4 platforms?
[OD] The scenario we have in TF-A for pre-Armv8.4, is booting OP-TEE as the SPMC (or in other words a colocated SP+SPMC)., but that's a bare SPMD/SPMC boot case without exercising full fledged FF-A (only few direct message exchanges at the moment).
There is another OSS team you may interact with for the pre-Armv8.4 + FF-A story.
@Matteo may provide pointers?
The dual-cactus use case is interesting. Can we try that on pre-8.4 platforms too?
[OD] Cactus was re-purposed only for being used as S-EL1 partitions on top of SPMC/Hafnium. So unfortunately no, you cannot immediately re-use this without S-EL2. There is no plan to let Cactus run at secure physical FF-A instance, although maybe that may work with some adaptation.
The dual cactus case, is about instantiating two SPs (or VMs...) on top of Hafnium in the secure side. This is eventually the same binary payload run in two different sandboxes (differentiated by their FF-A id), to which direct message request can be emitted from TFTF to the corresponding FF-A id.

Hi Varun,
Please consider Ivy (and Quark) payloads are remnant from older SPCI specs and must be considered deprecated. We did not clean this in deep to remove the related test code but AFAIK it's just not used anywhere in the test suites (although it may still be built).
We may have a plan to upgrade this later when working on S-EL0 partitions on top of Hafnium, but that's not an immediate priority.
Considering Cactus, that's the bare-metal S-EL1 payload you can use in place of a real TOS on top of Hafnium. The intent is to test FF-A ABIs unitarily at secure virtual FF-A instance. TFTF at EL2 exercises the ABI at non-secure physical FF-A instance to communicate with the secure endpoint.
See below the build commands we use for FVP. Hopefully this should help porting to your platform.
Notice it needs as well building the SPMC (aka Hafnium in the secure side), which only supports FVP at this moment (and Rpi, qemu...) It's not described here but I can guide you through this as well.
I think you can just use a dummy BL32 payload for now, at least to test the build/integration.
If TFTF and TF-A reside in the same top level dir:
TFTF: this builds TFTF and cactus secure partitions
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=fvp TESTS=spm -j8
TF-A: this uses TFTF, and assembles two cactus secure partitions within the FIP
make \
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- \
SPD=spmd \
CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS=1 \
ARM_ARCH_MINOR=4 \
BL33=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/tftf.bin \
BL32=<path-to-secure-hafnium-bin>/hafnium.bin \
SP_LAYOUT_FILE=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/sp_layout.json \
PLAT=fvp \
all fip
The tool last FIP tool entries are the two cactus instances:

Hello,
In order to test the SPM dispatcher from TF-A, we plan to enable 'cactus' and 'ivy' on Tegra194 platforms. I was able to muscle my way through all the compilation issues, but the final payload generation part is not that clear.
Can someone please help me with the steps to generate the final FIP package with all the payloads - TF-A, Cactus, Ivy?
Thanks.

Hi,
I also came across this issue as I'm trying to create test configurations for compiling BL31/TSP/BL2_AT_EL3 as PIEs, the fix suggested by Alexei worked for BL2_AT_EL3, but it did not work for TSP. I am getting the same error message as Raghu: "./build/fvp/debug/bl31/platform_mp_stack.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object".

Hi Raghu,
On the toolchain question you would normally use CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- as recommended here: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/initial-…
However this does not seem to be the root cause of the problem you report.
I reproduce the build issue, however it's not yet clear to me if this platform_normal_stacks variable should be rather placed in a specific section (.data?), rather than embedded in the code. Tbc.

Subject: [TF-A] Linker error on integration branch for FVP with ENABLE_PIE
When I compile TF-A code on the integration branch with the ENABLE_PIE=1 option for FVP, I get a linker error “./build/fvp/debug/bl31/platform_mp_stack.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object". It appears to be related to line 62(.word platform_normal_stack) of plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S that was introduced by https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/4301 . It looks like the linker is having trouble resolving this symbol for which I cant find a use for.
If I remove line 62 or set ENABLE_PIE=0, the below command line to compile succeeds. What is the use of line 62 in the file? Seems like it may have some use in other configurations that are not obvious. Or is the issue due to the toolchain I’m using? See gcc version below.
Command line I’m using:

However this does not seem to be the root cause of the problem you report.
I reproduce the build issue, however it's not yet clear to me if this
platform_normal_stacks variable should be rather placed in a specific
section (.data?), rather than embedded in the code. Tbc.

Subject: [TF-A] Linker error on integration branch for FVP with ENABLE_PIE
When I compile TF-A code on the integration branch with the ENABLE_PIE=1
option for FVP, I get a linker error
"./build/fvp/debug/bl31/platform_mp_stack.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32
against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object". It
appears to be related to line 62(.word platform_normal_stack) of
plat/common/aarch64/platform_mp_stack.S that was introduced by
<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/4301>
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/4301 . It
looks like the linker is having trouble resolving this symbol for which I
cant find a use for.
If I remove line 62 or set ENABLE_PIE=0, the below command line to compile
succeeds. What is the use of line 62 in the file? Seems like it may have
some use in other configurations that are not obvious. Or is the issue due
to the toolchain I'm using? See gcc version below.

Hi All
As per discussion over mailing list, we implemented workaround for AT speculative behaviour. If anybody interested they can look into
the changes posted here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22at_errata_fix%22+(status:open…
These changes are currently under review.

Hi Will,
Good point, this effectively means every EL2 software must implement the fix similar to KVM for this workaround to be effective (or else EL3 should also be audited to not to have any executable AT instruction). This needs to be communicated.
Since this is crossing TF-A boundary and need wider communication, I can initiate some internal discussion on how to communicate this properly.

Hi,
I also came across this issue as I'm trying to create test configurations for compiling BL31/TSP/BL2_AT_EL3 as PIEs, the fix suggested by Alexei worked for BL2_AT_EL3, but it did not work for TSP. I am getting the same error message as Raghu: "./build/fvp/debug/bl31/platform_mp_stack.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object". Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lauren
Hi Raghu,
On the toolchain question you would normally use CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- as recommended here: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/initial-…
However this does not seem to be the root cause of the problem you report.
I reproduce the build issue, however it's not yet clear to me if this platform_normal_stacks variable should be rather placed in a specific section (.data?), rather than embedded in the code. Tbc.
Regards,
Olivier.

Hi Varun,
Please consider Ivy (and Quark) payloads are remnant from older SPCI specs and must be considered deprecated. We did not clean this in deep to remove the related test code but AFAIK it's just not used anywhere in the test suites (although it may still be built).
We may have a plan to upgrade this later when working on S-EL0 partitions on top of Hafnium, but that's not an immediate priority.
Considering Cactus, that's the bare-metal S-EL1 payload you can use in place of a real TOS on top of Hafnium. The intent is to test FF-A ABIs unitarily at secure virtual FF-A instance. TFTF at EL2 exercises the ABI at non-secure physical FF-A instance to communicate with the secure endpoint.
See below the build commands we use for FVP. Hopefully this should help porting to your platform.
Notice it needs as well building the SPMC (aka Hafnium in the secure side), which only supports FVP at this moment (and Rpi, qemu...)
It's not described here but I can guide you through this as well.
I think you can just use a dummy BL32 payload for now, at least to test the build/integration.
If TFTF and TF-A reside in the same top level dir:
TFTF: this builds TFTF and cactus secure partitions
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=fvp TESTS=spm -j8
TF-A: this uses TFTF, and assembles two cactus secure partitions within the FIP
make \
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- \
SPD=spmd \
CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS=1 \
ARM_ARCH_MINOR=4 \
BL33=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/tftf.bin \
BL32=<path-to-secure-hafnium-bin>/hafnium.bin \
SP_LAYOUT_FILE=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/sp_layout.json \
PLAT=fvp \
all fip
The tool last FIP tool entries are the two cactus instances:
B4B5671E-4A90-4FE1-B81F-FB13DAE1DACB: offset=0x47DA3, size=0xC168, cmdline="--blob"

Hello Joanna, Varun,
Regarding the idea of looping in Coverity Scan Online in the patch
submission process, that is not possible because this free service from
Synopsys only allows for a dozen of analyses to be requested per week
per open-source project. If we were to request analyses for every patch
submission, we would hit the limit very quickly. That is the reason why
this is setup to run on the integration branch once per work week day at
the moment.
I appreciate this is not ideal (as pointed out by both of you) as we get
defects reports after patches have been merged but I can't see another
way out of this.
Regards,
Sandrine

Hello,
In order to test the SPM dispatcher from TF-A, we plan to enable 'cactus' and 'ivy' on Tegra194 platforms. I was able to muscle my way through all the compilation issues, but the final payload generation part is not that clear.
Can someone please help me with the steps to generate the final FIP package with all the payloads - TF-A, Cactus, Ivy?
Thanks.
Hi Varun,
I agree things are less than ideal at the moment. We take advantage as an open source project to use the Synopsys online Coverity service and this points to the master branch (actually currently the mirror on github) which means these coverity tests are ran on changes after they have been submitted. Less than ideal I know but better than not being ran at all. Really we would like these to be ran as part of the OpenCI as part of patch reviews but we are not there yet. Not sure if the Synopsys online Coverity service can be setup to support this via Gerrit reviews or if this will have to be done after patch submittals. If it has to be done after then some clever CI scripting would need to be done to identify where the offending change came from.
Would welcome other ideas to make this experience better, but for now this is better than nothing.
Cheers
Joanna

Hi Varun,
AIU, Usually 2 keys are used to protect 2 different software contexts for enforcing the security boundary between them. This is the case for kernel and userspace. In TF-A, every BL image is allowed to choose the IA key to use, hence every BL image can have a separate IA key. Each BL image is executing within a single security domain and hence there is less use create a boundary within the BL image by using the 2nd key registers.
The Compiler by default selects either IA or IB instruction key register to use by default. It cannot automatically make use of both key registers and it doesn't support the use of DA or DB yet I think.
There are some function attributes which allow to use a different key at a function level, but the functions need to be marked out manually. But the requirement for creating the sub-domain within a BL image by specifying a different key for certain functions has not yet been seen AFAIK.
Best Regards
Soby Mathew

Hi Julius,
Sandrine is away on vacation so I thought I would follow up as we had a chat in one of our team meetings about the point below.

>Right.
So when we had +1/+2 CR before these changes we endeavoured to ensure that these were done by different people and if a maintainer gave a +1 they resisted also giving a +2 as we recognise having multiple eyes is always advantageous. So the general feeling was that this should be the recommended best practice. However, the feeling was also that this specific recommendation should not be strictly enforced by gerrit checking as on occasions it is possible to give both on simple patches and maintainers and code owners in this case can be trusted to make the correct choice.
The enforcing of them in Gerrit should be viewed as an aid to try and avoid mistakes rather than strict control for as you say we don't expect people to intentionally break the rules. Perhaps a warning in this case can be made to remind folks what's best practice here.
For now though as mentioned as we practice the new rules and recommendations we will use an honour system rather than strict enforcement along with updating the documented rules and recomendations.
Thanks

Hi Raghu,
The Exception Handling framework (EHF) was designed to provide prioritization between the EL3 interrupts and EA although EA will always have highest priority since it cannot be blocked. In the case you describe, the driver in EL3 which is handling the RAS errors would need to ensure serialization of the events delivered to the S-EL0 payload somehow. This could be either via holding the event in a queue in EL3 till EL0 is done with processing the first event or the EL0 payload is capable of re-entry and can manage a queue internally. In case of MM, I suppose re-entry is not an option and hence a holding queue in EL3 driver needs to be implemented.
The current implementation in sgi_ras.c doesn't do this currently as this was a PoC to showcase the RAS flow.
Best Regards

Hi All,
I was going through some code in sgi_ras.c and was wondering if the
situation mentioned below could cause a deadlock or if i'm missing
something. It seems like it is possible to deadlock if we enter MM in
S-EL0(say through an MM_COMMUNICATE SMC or perhaps an initial RAS
interrupt) followed by a SYNC EA or ASYNC EA on the same core. sgi_ras.c
seems like it registers the same handler for both interrupts and aborts.
While interrupts can be blocked/masked, SYNC EA's cannot be blocked(not
that i know of), and i don't see SErrors being blocked on the path to
the EA handler and entry to MM. If this situation does occur, it seems
like we could deadlock when the EA attempts to enter MM again in the
interrupt handler.
Is there something that would prevent this situation from happening?
Thanks

Hi All,
The next TF-A Tech Forum is scheduled for Thu 16th July 2020 16:00 – 17:00 (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:
* Secure EL2 SPM (Secure Partition Manager) Hafnium-based
* In this TF-A Tech Forum session we present the status and open roadmap for the Secure Partition Manager firmware development. The TF-A SPM is the reference open source implementation for the PSA FF-A (Platform Security Architecture Firmware Framework for A-class) specification in the Secure world. It leverages the Armv8.4-Secure EL2 extension bringing virtualization technology in the Secure world (S-EL2 exception level). The development derives originally from the Google Hafnium project, which has been recently transitioned to https://www.trustedfirmware.org/ under the BSD 3-Clause license.
* 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.

+1 for re-introduction of 'Code-Review' label in addition to 'Code-Owner-Review' label.
I would like to see the enforcement of authors of patches not being allowed to self review eventually for all labels. Hopefully we can enable maintainers who are not the author of deadlocked patches to allow the setting of all required +1's to labels is situations where this is necessary for admin purposes after due consideration. I agree though while this process is settling down an honour system is appropriate.
Cheers

Right now, the ACLs are not tied to docs/about/maintainers.rst (any
registered user could vote on this label) and it is just based on the
honor system. However, I'd like this to be enforced in the future, we
just haven't had the time to put the right tooling in place for that.
Also we did not want to spend time on developing such scripts before we
tried out these process changes in practice. If they proved too heavy or
inconvenient, part of this work would have gone to waste.
BTW, any help for the tooling is welcome! If you've got plugin
configuration files or scripts we could reuse (with an appropriate
license) or even tips on how to best set this up, please feel free to
share these.

That is indeed a grey area. As you say, many modules have a single code
owner and we need to agree on how we would like such code reviews to be
conducted. Thanks for starting this discussion!
One option as you say would be to allow code owners to self-review their
patches but I am not convinced we would gain anything out of this. It
sounds like a tick-box exercise to me, an admin overhead just to get the
patch through the system and I would like to avoid that as much as
possible. It is likely that a patch submitter has already self-reviewed
his code before posting a patch anyway.
The alternative we've been discussing in the team is to call out another
reviewer in these situations. I think that there is still value in
having a second fresh pair of eyes on a patch. Even if the reviewer has
no particular expertise on this specific module, they can still catch
potential logic problems or structural issues in the code.
The latter would be my preference. What do others think?

That's a very good idea, thanks! It also aligns with Javier's concerns,
which sound perfectly valid to me.
I think your proposal of having 3 distinct labels is better than having
code owners and non-code owners voting on the same generic 'Code-Review'
label, which is what Javier was suggesting. It clarifies further the
intent of each label and as you say allows us to configure different
rules for each (i.e. make the generic 'Code-Review' label
informative/optional, while making the 'Code-Owner-Review' label
mandatory for patch submission).
I am gonna wait for others' opinions on this before changing the
configuration in Gerrit again. I see Raghu agrees with this approach. If
nobody disagrees by the end of the week, I'll do these changes on Monday.
In the meantime, as discussed above, any registered user can vote on the
new 'Code-Owner-Review' label so let's continue to use that for the rest
of this week.

Sandrine

Hello Sandrine,
IMO, the code review process has now evolved from the previous version. I am not too clear on the final outcome.
Does it make sense to add a "lifecycle of a review" section to the initial proposal?

Hi Julius and all,
As agreed and announced last week, I've now reintroduced the Code-Review label in addition to the Code-Owner-Review and Maintainer-Review ones.
The Code-Review label is purely informational and won't influence whether a patch is submittable in Gerrit. Anyone should be able to vote on this label, if you face any issue please let me know.

This "find-owners" plugin sounds promising! Thanks for the pointers.
I notice the "reviewers" plugin [1] is installed on review.tf.org but it does not sound as configurable as "find-owners".
Rewriting the current code owners list to use the OWNERS format does not sound like a big task to me (just a dull one... could be scripted,
though) so this approach definitely sounds worth investigating to me.

I notice the "find-owners" plugin documentation mentions that "this plugin works with Gerrit projects that use Android or Chromium compatible OWNERS files" so maybe they started off from the generic "owners" plugin and customized it for Android/Chromium's needs? Just a guess.
Anyway, worth a look as well, thanks!

I still don't see the benefit of code owners setting COR+1 for themselves. I would think that a patch owner already reviews his own patch before posting it for review so a self COR+1 is just reinstating the obvious in my eyes.
Your first suggestion (i.e. having at least one CR+1 from another person when a patch author cannot find another code owner to review their
patches) sounds aligned with what I proposed earlier.
Your second suggestion sounds a bit too heavy to me. The fact that people would have to replay their vote on several labels sounds like an admin overhead to me. I guess this would simplify the ACL configuration but I would prefer to avoid this if we can.
So I suggest the following. We could have 2 ways to get a patch approved.
1) For patches that have multiple code owners:
* COR+1 (not from patch owner)
* MR+1 (not from patch owner, not from the person setting COR+1)
2) For patches that a have single code owner:
* CR+1 (not from patch owner)
* MR+1 (not from patch owner, not from the person setting CR+1)
In 2), I like your suggestion of mandating 2 CR+1 but I fear this might be difficult to achieve in practice (simply because we might not have enough reviewers for this).
Note that in some cases, we would need to mix both policies. If a patch modifies several modules, some of them having multiple code owners and others having a single code owner, we would apply one or the other policy for each module.
How does that sound?
Also, 1) assumes we always want different individuals doing the code-owner review and the maintainer review. I personally don't feel strongly about this split and I would be fine with the same person doing both types of review, as they are typically looking at different criteria.
What do others think?

Sandrine

Thanks Andrew for raising the issue and Marc and Raghu for your inputs.
The effect of stage 2 when Stage 1 is disabled is something that was overlooked in the workaround implementation. After some discussions this is what we currently understand regarding the problem.
1. EL3 does not modify the EL2 stage 1 translations and hence any speculative execution of AT execution in EL3 and resulting PTW and TLB caching should not be a problem as we always return to the same context in EL2. TF-A in EL3 need not worry about this. Also, we expect that future CPUs having v8.4 extensions for S-EL2 will have already corrected this errata.
2. Whenever the EL1/0 Stage 1 translations are switched in EL3 as part of switching the worlds, it should take Stage 2 into account. Hence disabling the Stage 1 MMU is not effective, as Marc pointed out, because speculative PTW can still take place using Stage 2 identity mapping. After discussion with James, we also realized that flipping the SCR_EL3.NS bit could take Stage 2 out of context (Stage 2 is not valid in secure world) leaving Stage 1 pointing to invalid translations.
As discussed in previous emails, on Entry to EL3, if TCR_EL1.EPDx = 1 and SCTLR_EL3.M = 1, any speculative AT PTWs for EL1 context can be prevented (including Stage 2).
So the fix as we currently understand would involve the following sequence :
a. On Entry to EL3, save the incoming SCTLR_EL1.M and TCR_EL1.EPDx bits and set them (ensure TCR_EL1.EPDx =1 prior to SCTLR_EL1.M =1 using isb())
b. Prior to Exit from EL3, after the target context is restored, restore the SCTLR_EL1.M and TCR_EL1.EPDx bits.
The above sequence now means that any use of AT instruction targeted at lower EL from EL3 that require PTW will fault. So prior to use of AT, ensure the PTW are re-enabled and disabled back again after the AT instructions.
If the above sequence is agreed upon to resolve the errata, then we can work on a patch for the same. I suspect current el1 register save and restore sequence in TF-A is a bit unwieldy and we may need to analyze all the entry points to EL3 to ensure we cover everything.

This is interesting. It appears that there is no way on entry to EL3 to
guarantee that the out-of-context(el2 and el1) translation regimes are
in a consistent state and on every entry into EL3, we have to
conservatively assume that it is in an inconsistent state. This is
because of the situation Andrew mentioned(interrupts to EL3 can occur at
any time).
If this is the case, on EL3 entry:
1) For EL1, we will need to save SCTLR_EL1, set SCTLR_EL1.M = 1,.EPDx = 0
2) Set whatever bits we need to for EL2 and S2 translations to not
succeed(What are these?)
3) DSB, to ensure no speculative AT can be issued until completion of
DSB, so any AT that occurs will not fill the TLB with bad translations.
On exit(right before ERET), we need to restore the registers saved on
entry, and have the ERET followed by a DSB so that there can be no
speculative execution of AT instructions.

Hi Andrew,
As per current implementation, in “el1_sysregs_context_restore” routine do below things:
1. TCR_EL1.EPD0 = 1
2. TCR_EL1.EPD1 = 1
3. SCTR_EL1.M = 0
4. Isb
Code snippet:
mrs x9, tcr_el1
orr x9, x9, #TCR_EPD0_BIT
orr x9, x9, #TCR_EPD1_BIT
msr tcr_el1, x9
mrs x9, sctlr_el1
bic x9, x9, #SCTLR_M_BIT
msr sctlr_el1, x9
isb
This is to avoid PTW through while updating system registers at step 5
5. Restore all system registers for El1 except SCTLR_EL1 and TCR_EL1
6. isb()
7. restore SCTLR_EL1 and TCR_EL1
Code Snippet:
ldr x9, [x0, #CTX_SCTLR_EL1] -> saved value from "el2_sysregs_context_save"
msr sctlr_el1, x9
ldr x9, [x0, #CTX_TCR_EL1]
msr tcr_el1, x9
As per above steps. SCTLR_EL1 get restored back with actual settings at step 7.
Similar flow is present for “el2_sysregs_context_restore” to restore SCTLR_EL1 register.
In conclusion, this routine temporarily clear M bit of SCTLR_EL1 to avoid speculation but restored it back
to its original setting while leaving back to its caller. Please let us know whether this align with KVM
workaround for speculative AT erratum.

Hi Sandrine,
Sounds like good changes in general! I'm curious what the ACLs are for
Code-Owner-Review? Is it tied to docs/about/maintainers.rst or just
based on the honor system? (I notice that I seem to be able to give a
+1 for code I'm not owning, but maybe that's because I am a
maintainer?) Also, are code owners allowed to +1 themselves (I think
we said we didn't want maintainers to do that, but for code owners I
could see how we might want to allow it since there are usually not
that many)? What do we do when someone uploads the first patch for a
new platform, do they just COR+1 themselves (since there is no code
owner yet)?
I think it might still be useful to retain the existing Code-Review as
a +1/-1 label next to the two new ones, just to allow other interested
parties to record their opinion (without it having any enforcing
effect on the merge). In other Gerrit instances I have used people
often like to give CR+1 as a "I'm not the one who needs to approve
this but I have looked at it and think it's fine" or a CR-1 as a "I
can't stop you from doing this but I still want to be clear that I
don't think it's a good idea". It allows people outside the official
approval process a clearer way to participate and can aid the official
approvers in their decisions (e.g. when I am reviewing a patch as a
maintainer that already has a CR-1 from someone else I know to pay
extra attention to their concerns, and it's more visible than just
some random comment further up in the list). What do you think?
Best regards,
Julius
Hi Sandrine,
If my understanding is right, Code-Owner-Review is the equivalent to the old Code-Review+1 and therefore anyone can add a vote there, owner or not. If that is so, I think the current name might be misleading. Wouldn't it be better just "Code-Review", for instance?
As an example, I am not code owner for Measure Boot, but sometimes I am requested to review the patches for it, so in that case it might lead to confusion if I give Code-Owner-Review score.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Javier

Subject: [TF-A] Announcing some changes around the code review label in Gerrit
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 13:29:00 +0000
Hello all,
If you recall, the tf.org Project Maintenance Process [1] advocates a
code review model where both code owners and maintainers need to review
and approve a patch before it gets merged.
Until now, the way we would record this in Gerrit was a bit cumbersome
and ambiguous.
* Code-Review+1 was for code owners to approve a patch.
* Code-Review+2 was for maintainers to approve a patch.
The submission rules in Gerrit were such that a patch needed a
Code-Review+2 to be merged. This meant that if a maintainer was first to
take a look at a patch and approved it (Code-Review+2), Gerrit would
allow the patch to be merged without any code owners review.
To align better with the Project Maintenance Process, I've done some
changes in our Gerrit configuration. You will notice that the
Code-Review label is gone and has been replaced by 2 new labels:
* Code-Owner-Review
* Maintainer-Review
Stating the obvious but code owners are expected to vote on the
Code-Owner-Review label and maintainers on the Maintainer-Review.
Note that maintainers might also be code owners for some modules. If
they are doing a "code owner" type of review on a patch, they would vote
on the Code-Owner-Review label in this case.
Any doubt, please ask. I hope I didn't break anything but if you notice
any permissions problems (things you used to be able to do and cannot do
anymore, or vice versa!) please let me know.
One annoying consequence of this change is that if you've got some
patches in review right now and got some votes on the former
'Code-Review' label, these have been partially lost. The history of
review comments in Gerrit will still show that somebody had voted
Code-Review -1/+1 on your patch but this will no longer appear in the
labels summary frame and won't count towards the approvals required to
get the patch merged.
I could not think of a way to avoid this issue... This should only be
temporary, while we transition all in-flight patches to the new code
review model.
Roughly:
* Existing "Code-Review -1/+1" votes will have to be replayed as
"Code-Owner-Review -1/+1".
* Existing "Code-Review -2/+2" votes will have to be replayed as
"Maintainer-Review -1/+1".
Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope, once we've gone through the
transition period, these changes will make the code review process
clearer to everybody.
I will update the TF-A documentation to explain all of this in the
coming future.
Best regards,
Sandrine

Hi all
The new TrustedFirmware.org security incident process is now live. This process is described here:
https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/repor…
Initially the process will be used for the following projects: TF-A, TF-M, OP-TEE and Mbed TLS. The security documentation for each project will be updated soon to reflect this change.
If you are part of an organization that believes it should receive security vulnerability information before it is made public then please ask your relevant colleagues to register as Trusted Stakeholders as described here:
https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/trust…
Note we prefer individuals in each organization to coordinate their registration requests with each other and to provide us with an email alias managed by your organization instead of us managing a long list of individual addresses.
Best regards
Dan.
(on behalf of the TrustedFirmware.org security team)
Hello all,
If you recall, the tf.org Project Maintenance Process [1] advocates a
code review model where both code owners and maintainers need to review
and approve a patch before it gets merged.
Until now, the way we would record this in Gerrit was a bit cumbersome
and ambiguous.
* Code-Review+1 was for code owners to approve a patch.
* Code-Review+2 was for maintainers to approve a patch.
The submission rules in Gerrit were such that a patch needed a
Code-Review+2 to be merged. This meant that if a maintainer was first to
take a look at a patch and approved it (Code-Review+2), Gerrit would
allow the patch to be merged without any code owners review.
To align better with the Project Maintenance Process, I've done some
changes in our Gerrit configuration. You will notice that the
Code-Review label is gone and has been replaced by 2 new labels:
* Code-Owner-Review
* Maintainer-Review
Stating the obvious but code owners are expected to vote on the
Code-Owner-Review label and maintainers on the Maintainer-Review.
Note that maintainers might also be code owners for some modules. If
they are doing a "code owner" type of review on a patch, they would vote
on the Code-Owner-Review label in this case.
Any doubt, please ask. I hope I didn't break anything but if you notice
any permissions problems (things you used to be able to do and cannot do
anymore, or vice versa!) please let me know.
One annoying consequence of this change is that if you've got some
patches in review right now and got some votes on the former
'Code-Review' label, these have been partially lost. The history of
review comments in Gerrit will still show that somebody had voted
Code-Review -1/+1 on your patch but this will no longer appear in the
labels summary frame and won't count towards the approvals required to
get the patch merged.
I could not think of a way to avoid this issue... This should only be
temporary, while we transition all in-flight patches to the new code
review model.
Roughly:
* Existing "Code-Review -1/+1" votes will have to be replayed as
"Code-Owner-Review -1/+1".
* Existing "Code-Review -2/+2" votes will have to be replayed as
"Maintainer-Review -1/+1".
Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope, once we've gone through the
transition period, these changes will make the code review process
clearer to everybody.
I will update the TF-A documentation to explain all of this in the
coming future.
Best regards,
Sandrine

Hi All,
The next TF-A Tech Forum is scheduled for Thu 2nd July 2020 16:00 – 17:00 (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:
* PSA Fuzz Testing - Presented by Gary Morrison
* Originally developed for TF-M PSA API’s this is a different approach to Fuzz testing to that was previously presented in the TF-A SMC Fuzz testing session a few weeks back and provides a testing approach for a the different level of PSA API testing coming to TF-A.
* 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
