Hi folks, If you don’t use any of the JavaScript-based tooling from the TF-A repository then you can safely ignore this. I’ve just updated TF-A’s Node.js dependencies, including the minimum version of Node.js required to use the JavaScript-based hooks and tooling from the repository (previously v16, now v20). If you use these and you find that they have started throwing errors, make sure that you are rebased on the latest version of the integration branch, and then run: npm ci If you need to commit changes while the tools are erroring, you can commit with the `-n` flag to skip the commit hooks: git commit -n <usual commit flags…> Please let me know if you run into any issues. Cheers, Chris

Compatibility support for SPM_MM and SPMD

by baopeng (A)

Hi Olivier Deprez, One more question, the SPM_MM code will not be removed from the main repository, right? ________________________________ Hi Olivier Deprez, We use the SPM_MM framework mainly for read/write control of security variables. We do not want to modify the original application code at this time. At the same time we want to add support for the new SPMD framework based code. ________________________________ Hi Baopeng, By "code based on the SPM_MM framework" I assume you refer to a secure service running in a S-EL0 partition based on the MM protocol? If you can share this information, what kind of service is this implementing? RAS handling, secure variables, TPM back end, other? What kind of interface is needed to access the service? asynchronous with interrupts? synchronous with SMC from normal world? Another question is why do you need to collocate the SPMD if the MM implementation is already achieving the scenarios you need? Ideally you'd want to migrate this service to run on top of: * the EL3 FF-A SPMC https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/el3-spmc.html * or if the HW/chipset implements it, the S-EL2 FF-A SPMC https://hafnium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/secure-partition-manager/index.html...<https://hafnium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/secure-partition-manager/index.htm…> Knowing the kind of S-EL0 service would help narrowing the effort for a migration. FF-A (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0077/latest/) is a modern evolution of MM (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0060/latest) and any functionality achieved by the MM protocol can be handled by FF-A. For example the MM_COMMUNICATE interface can be easily swapped by the FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ interface. Regards, Olivier. ________________________________ From: baopeng (A) via TF-A tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.orgmailto:tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org Sent: 21 February 2024 07:10 To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.orgmailto:tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: [TF-A] Re: Request for help Hi Olivier Deprez, We have developed code based on the SPM_MM framework and do not want to reconstruct the code. However, we want to adapt the code to the SPMD framework. What should we do? ________________________________ Hi Baopeng, SPM_MM is the legacy implementation for a secure partition manager relying on the MM protocol. This implementation gets deprecated in favor of FF-A based implementations (what you refer to as SPMD + SPMC). Both implementations aren't compatible and it is discouraged to attempt co-locating both. It may be more palatable and future proof to transition all your SW stack to be compliant to FF-A standard. We may help you better if you tell a bit more about the reason for mixing both implementations in the same build. Regards, Olivier. ________________________________ From: baopeng (A) baopeng1@huawei.commailto:baopeng1@huawei.com Sent: 20 February 2024 02:19 To: tf-a-owner(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org tf-a-owner@lists.trustedfirmware.orgmailto:tf-a-owner@lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Request for help Dear Sir/ Madam, we need to support the simultaneous loading of SPMD and SPM_MM due to project reasons. However, we notice that the makefile of SPM_MM of ATF does not support the simultaneous loading of SPMD and SPM_MM by default. I would like to ask what is the main reason for making the current restrictions?

Re: Request for help

Hi Olivier Deprez, We have developed code based on the SPM_MM framework and do not want to reconstruct the code. However, we want to adapt the code to the SPMD framework. What should we do? ________________________________ Hi Baopeng, SPM_MM is the legacy implementation for a secure partition manager relying on the MM protocol. This implementation gets deprecated in favor of FF-A based implementations (what you refer to as SPMD + SPMC). Both implementations aren't compatible and it is discouraged to attempt co-locating both. It may be more palatable and future proof to transition all your SW stack to be compliant to FF-A standard. We may help you better if you tell a bit more about the reason for mixing both implementations in the same build.

Purpose of ENABLE_PIE in TF-A without ASLR

by Igor Zhbanov

Hello, I'm trying to understand the purpose of ENABLE_PIE build flag. IIUC, it makes the BL* executables position-independent. But I could not find any ASLR or some other addresses randomization support. Therefore, could you please clarify, what is the point of building position-independent parts, if (most of the time?) they will be loaded at the fixed addresses? Thank you.

Trusted Firmware-A LTS v2.10.2 Release Announcement

by Varun Wadekar

Hello, We are happy to announce the first release for the LTS v2.10 program.

MMIO with pre/post indexing instructions

by ff

Hi, I am using hypervisors to allow execution of EL3 code directly and had to deal with MMIO caused by instructions that have post-indexing parameters. Xen community had to deal with this in 2022: https://www.mail-archive.com/xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org/msg113335.html This does not cause any trouble and have implemented ways to deal with this expeditiously. Yet, I wonder if it is desirable to from a synchronisation perspective? Cheers FF Compiling TFA 2.10 for PLAT=a80x0_mcbin The following line https://elixir.bootlin.com/arm-trusted-firmware/v2.10.0/source/drivers/marv… Is compiled as: win_reg = mmio_read_32(AMB_WIN_CR_OFFSET(win_id)); 4026d9c: f9470260 ldr x0, [x19, #3584] 4026da0: 9100e002 add x2, x0, #0x38 4026da4: b9400001 ldr w1, [x0] win_reg &= ~WIN_ENABLE_BIT; 4026da8: 121f7821 and w1, w1, #0xfffffffe *(volatile uint32_t*)addr = value; // post-indexing 4026dac: b8008401 str w1, [x0], #8 #gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 10.3.0-1ubuntu1) 10.3.0 Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Handling of normal world interrupts with BL31 PSCI handler

by caleb.ethridge＠analog.com

Hello, If normal world interrupts are received while invoking TF-A's PSCI reset handler, we have observed that the reset can be aborted. In TF-A's PSCI reset handler, a call out to OP-TEE is made before performing the platform-specific reset: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/lib/psci/p… https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/services/s… When OP-TEE is entered, it is possible to receive foreign (normal world) interrupts, which invokes the procedure described here: https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/3.16.0/architecture/core.html#deliver-non-s… When the SMC call is aborted as described above, this results in the reboot failing. Linux does not retry the PSCI reset (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/firmware/psci/psci.c#…). This makes sense because it is not expecting the SMC call to fail (it expected to make an uninterruptable SMC call into the secure monitor, not a call into OP-TEE). If OP-TEE itself is setup to handle PSCI reset calls, it also handles them in (uninterruptable) SMC context: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/core/arch/arm/sm/psci.c#L140 https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/core/arch/arm/sm/sm_a32.S#L96 Based on this, we see two possible solutions: a) Masking the non-secure interrupts in BL31 while we are doing a reset b) Removing the call to OPTEE in the reset handler so that we never leave the SMC context Which option do you suggest? Or are we missing an important detail here? Thanks, Caleb

New ticketing system

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, As you might have heard, developer.trustedfirmware.org is getting deprecated. TF-A project used to make (little) use of its issues tracker at [1]. In replacement, we suggest switching to the issues tracker associated with TF-A Github mirror at [2]. Similarly, for TF-A Tests and TF-A CI scripts repositories, we've now got Github mirrors for these projects as well and associated issues trackers at [3] and [4], which we'd like to start using. If you've opened tickets on developer.trustedfirmware.org in the past, could you please migrate them to Github? We might review the tickets list at some point and migrate remaining ones but your help would be much appreciated! TF-A and TF-A tests documentation are in the process of being updated (see [5] and [6]) to refer to the new ticketing system. Best regards, Sandrine [1] https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/project/board/1/ [2] https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-A/trusted-firmware-a/issues [3] https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-A/tf-a-tests/issues [4] https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-A/tf-a-ci-scripts/issues [5] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/26168 [6] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/tf-a-tests/+/26169

Deprecating CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS build option.

by Govindraj Raja

Hi All, Please note build option CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS is now replaced with ENABLE_FEAT_MTE[1] To avoid breaking any builds for timebeing CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS usage will indirectly enable ENABLE_FEAT_MTE but will produce a build warning. Kindly request anyone using CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS to replace with ENABLE_FEAT_MTE As option CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS backward support will be removed after next release and going forward usage of CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS will not be handled within build. -- Thanks, Govindraj R [1]: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22gr/refac_mte%22

Should strscpy() be preferred over strlcpy()?

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi, Right now, TF-A coding guidelines advocate the use of strlcpy() over strcpy()/strncpy() (see the banned libc functions [1]) for the following reasons: - strlcpy() always null-terminates the destination string, even if it gets truncated. This is safer and less error-prone than leaving it unterminated like strncpy() does in this case. - With strlcpy(), it is possible to detect whether the string was truncated. This is useful in some use cases. - strlcpy() writes a single null-terminating byte into the destination string, whereas strncpy() wastes time writing multiple null-terminating bytes until it fills the destination string. Thus, strlcpy() is more efficient in the case where the source string is shorter than the destination one. There exists another string copy variant: strscpy(). Just like strlcpy(), it is not part of the C standard but most libc implementations provide it. strscpy() has the following advantages over strlcpy(): - strscpy() only reads the specified number of bytes from the source string, whereas strlcpy() reads all of its bytes until it finds a null-terminating byte (this is because it needs to return this information). This opens up a potential security risk if the source string is untrusted and controlled by an attacker, as we might end up reading a lot of memory if proper safeguards are not put in place on the source string prior to calling strlcpy(). Also it causes a performance penalty for reading "useless" bytes from the source string. - Checking for truncation is easier and less error-prone with strscpy() : strscpy() returns an error code (-E2BIG) in case of truncation, whereas strlcpy() requires comparing the return value with the destination string size. For these reasons, it seems to me we should prefer strscpy() over strlcpy() in TF-A code base. Any thoughts? Note that the Linux kernel coding style already goes in that direction. The coding style verification script (checkpatch.pl), which TF-A reuses, will print the following warning message if strlcpy() is used: WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy - see: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgfRnXz0W3D37d01q3JFkr_i_uTL=V6A6G1oUZcprmk… This got flagged by the OpenCI into some TF-A code review already [2]. If we decide that strlcpy() is fine for TF-A codebase in the end, we'll at least need to find a way to silence this checkpatch.pl warning. AFAICS there is already a switch to this effect so it should just be a matter of adding '--ignore STRLCPY' inside .checkpatch.conf file. Best regards, Sandrine [1] https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/process/coding-guideline…) [2] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/25551

Declaration uses a different parameter type than the function Definition.

by Nithin G

Hello, In the file /plat/xilinx/zynqmp/aarch64/zynqmp_common.c, there is a function named plat_get_syscnt_freq2 with its definition. Simultaneously, the declaration of this function is included in include/plat/common/platform.h with the name plat_get_syscnt_freq2 and a different parameter type, leading to a violation when running the Coverity MISRA-C analysis for the Zynqmp platform. Declaration uses a different parameter type than the function Definition. Addressing this issue by introducing a typedef for plat_get_syscnt_freq2 in platform.h and specifying its type as uint32_t resolves the violation. However, it introduces a challenge for other platforms, as this modification necessitates similar changes across various platforms, causing violations in those areas due to the adjusted typedef. Is it possible to fix with the typedef? Please suggest. Regards, Nithin

PSCI patches fail TF-A-tests on 2 platform configs

by Yann Gautier

Hi, Patrick has sent 2 correction patches for PSCI stack in OSI mode there: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22fix_psci_osi%22 But when running CI+2, there are 2 platforms for which 2 PSCI OSI tests are failing: fvp-ext-pstate-ea-el3|fvp-default|fvp-tftf-fip.tftf-cortexa57x4a53x4-debug fvp-ext-pstate-ea-el3|fvp-default|fvp-tftf-fip.tftf-aemv8a-debug I'm not familiar with those test configs, but when checking lava logs, I see those traces for failing tests: 2024-01-11T14:21:59 > Executing 'CPU suspend to powerdown at level 1 in OSI mode' 2024-01-11T14:21:59 INFO: Booting

0, got -3 The "Resumed from suspend state" message interleaved with "Going into suspend state" seem strange, but I cannot say what could be wrong there. Maybe there is something wrong with the TF-A patches? Or the platforms tests or configs need to be updated? If you have any clue that would be very helpful! Thanks, Yann

Cache Maintenance For SiP buffers

by Ahmad Fatoum

Hi, I was looking at imx_hab_handler, which forwards calls into the BootROM on i.MX SoCs in response to secure monitor calls. The BootROM call (and thus the SiP call) accepts two pointers as arguments, where it writes data. The plat/imx/imx8m/imx8m*/imx8m*_bl31_setup.c files map the RAM as MT_MEMORY | MT_RW, which would mean that not only is it writable from TF-A side, but it's also mapped cacheable. I see no explicit cache maintenance in the i.MX SiP code for these two pointer arguments and haven't been successful to find where in TF-A core code if at all, complete D-Cache is flushed on SMC exit. Therefore I ask: - Don't shared non-secure memory buffers between EL3 and lower EL require explicit cache maintenance? - Did I miss the place where this cache maintenance is done? - How did it work so far? barebox does explicit flushing before HAB SiP, invalidation after. U-Boot doesn't do cache maintenance. Both apparently work...
