Upcoming "Stricter ASN.1 certificate parsing" patches

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello everyone, I'd like to draw your attention on the following patch stack (contribution from Demi Marie Obenour, thank you!): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/owner:demiobenour%2540gmail.com+is:open These patches refactor the X.509 certificate parser leveraged by the trusted boot implementation in TF-A, such that the parser more closely follows the X.509 format specification [1] and ASN.1/DER encoding rules [2]. In a nutshell, this means that the X.509 parser is now stricter. Some ill-formatted certificates which TF-A would have previously accepted are now rejected. All trusted boot tests in the TF-A OpenCI have passed with these patches but I realize that this does not cover all platforms and use cases. Thus, I'd like to allow time for all platform maintainers that wish it to conduct their own testing and report any issue they're seeing on the mailing list. If we don't hear anything by end of Wednesday (14/12), we'll merge the patches. Best regards, Sandrine [1] See RFC5280, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5280 [2] ITU-T X.690, https://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com10/languages/X.690_1297.pdf

[PATCH 1/1] plat/qemu: Improve aarch32 build support

by Rebecca Cran

While aarch32 isn't currently supported on qemu, platform.mk for both qemu and qemu_sbsa contain bugs that cause the build to fail earlier than it otherwise should. Correct usage of ${ARCH} and hardcoded aarch64 strings so that the correct files are built when ARCH=aarch32 is specified.

[PATCH] fix(console): fix crash on spin_unlock with cache disabled

by Baruch Siach

Current code skips load of spinlock address when cache is disabled. The following call to spin_unlock stores into the random location that x0 points to. Move spinlock address load earlier so that x0 is always valid on spin_unlock call. Change-Id: Iac640289725dce2518f2fed483d7d36ca748ffe8 Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch(a)tkos.co.il> --- I'm posting this patch here since I have found no way to upload to review.trustedfirmware.org. I logged in via github, but I can not add SSH keys ("New SSH Key" grayed out), and "GENERATE NEW PASSWORD" shows Error 500.

Supporting QEMU in OpenCI

by Harrison Mutai

Hello everyone, Following our recent release, I'm pleased to provide more details on recent developments in our CI for QEMU. Linaro’s continuous integration platform OpenCI supports running emulated tests on QEMU. The tests are kicked off on Jenkins and deployed through the Linaro Automation and Validation Architecture LAVA. The obvious benefit of this is it makes it relatively easy to test TF-A in CI without a complex hardware setup, much like we do with FVPs. For this reason, we have added scripts to our OpenCI scripts repository to enable running this form of automated tests on QEMU. The initial patches provide a set of end-to-end boot tests (TF-A -> Linux shell prompt) that are included in our daily job [1]. The long term plan is to use this and further QEMU tests to gate patch submission (CI +1, +2), however, this is will only happen when we have confidence in their stability. You can view a sample test run here [2]. You can also reproduce the test setup manually in OpenCI or locally. In OpenCI this is done by running the tf-a-builder job with `qemu-boot-tests` as the test group [3]. In your local setup, this is done with the following command line: ``` $ test_run=1 \ workspace=$(mktemp -d) \ nfs_volume="$workspace" tfa_downloads="https://downloads.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a" tf_root="/path/to/trusted-firmware-a/" \ tftf_root="/path/to/tf-a-tests/" \ test_groups="qemu-boot-tests/qemu-default:qemu-linux.rootfs-fip.uefi-virt" \ bash -x $ci_root/script/run_local_ci.sh ``` We highly encourage you to contribute to the QEMU CI scripts if you can! Whether that be helping extend the tests or providing enhancements. We are also looking for help maintaining this specific area and the infrastructure around it - if this of interest, please do reach out! Cheers! Harrison [1] https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-a-main [2] https://tf.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1168495 [3] https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-a-builder/

Re: 回复： building secure boot tf-a images without ROTK controlled by SW build engineer

by Neely, Brian

Hello, Just following up on my question regarding HSMs (pasted below). Do any of the maintainers of cert_create have feedback on this? Thanks! -Brian Just a quick follow-up on this question of using an HSM (or in general, some form of Key Management Infrastructure) to sign TF-A images. U-Boot has support for this with its mkimage utility (see https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt#L5...). This appears to a custom engine in OpenSSL (and in this case, the pkcs11 engine). My questions are: 1. Does TF-A’s cert_create tool support using custom OpenSSL engines? 2. If so, is there a procedure for using this? 3. If not, is there a plan to add support for this in the roadmap somewhere? * Or, in general, is there a plan to add HSM support for TF-A image signing?

TF-A TechForum this week

by Joanna Farley

Hello TF-A Community, The meeting invite this week has been updated with an agenda. In case you have not seen this the details are: The TF-RMM component was published last week and was announced in this mailing list: https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.… This week Javier Almansa Sobrino of the TF-RMM team would like to present on the TF-RMM Unit test framework The TF-RMM Unit test framework allows the exercising and validation of the software components of TF-RMM to be performed natively on the development host, making the development of new features, as well as the debugging of existing ones, easier. This talk will introduce this framework as well as the fake_host architecture for TF-RMM which allows the building and running of TF-RMM natively on the development host. We will also discuss how to implement unit tests for different components and we will introduce some features such as code coverage test for TF-RMM.

Minimal kernel/firmware on Rock64 (rk3328)

by Robert Meissner

Hello, i found TF a very interesting project, however I would like to get booted with a really minimal firmware/kernel. I have a Rock64 with RK3328 Rockchip which I am trying to boot from sdcard with following sources: https://gitlab.com/jahro_me/sos/-/tree/master/ I have tried to setup UART for the device as described in the manual https://opensource.rock-chips.com/images/9/97/Rockchip_RK3328TRM_V1.1-Part1… On page 13 it states, the BOOT_ROM, INT_RAM is located at 0xffff0000. I have used this adress in kernel_entry https://gitlab.com/jahro_me/sos/-/blob/master/boot.s and in the main section https://gitlab.com/jahro_me/sos/-/blob/master/link.lds However, I could not get the kernel booted. I am not sure, if I need to remap the memory and how to do it. I guess, i should enable it with SGRF_SOC_CON2. Could anyone please help out to get the output, "Hello, You Rock!"? Best regards, Bob

PSCI OS-initiated mode

by Wing Li

Hi, The PSCI specification defines two different power state coordination modes for CPU_SUSPEND that can be used to put a core or a group of cores into a low-power state. These modes are the platform-coordinated mode (default) and the OS-initiated mode (optional). OS-initiated mode is currently not supported by TF-A, while both modes are supported by the Linux Kernel. Requesting reviews for the patches [1] adding support for OS-initiated mode in TF-A and the corresponding tests in TF-A-Tests. Any feedback and comments are much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Wing [1] https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:psci-osi

Announcing TF-RMM v0.1.0

by Soby Mathew

Hi Everyone The TF-RMM team is pleased to announce the first public release of RMM implementation aligned to RMM Beta0 Specification [1] . The RMM is a software component that runs at Realm EL2 and forms part of a system which implements the Arm Confidential Compute Architecture (Arm CCA). The implementation can create Realm VMs in the Realm PAS and the Realm contents can be attested as specified in the RMM specification. The official trustedfirmware.org git repo can be found at : https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-RMM/tf-rmm.git/. There is also a github read-only mirror and can be found at https://github.com/TF-RMM/tf-rmm . Contributions will be accepted via TF-RMM gerrit at trustedfirmware.org : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/project:TF-RMM%252Ftf-rmm Please see the readme [2] and the getting started guide [3] to get started with RMM. We expect patches for supporting Realm Management Extension (RME) in linux kernel and related kvm-unit-tests to be available in the coming months. The patch to exercise Realm creation and execution via TF-A-Tests is in review at the moment [4] and the OOB instructions for the same can be found in TF-A RME documentation [5]. We expect these patches to be part of the upcoming TF-A v2.8 release. The mailing list for the project is tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-rmm@lists.trustedfirmware.org>. Looking forward to fruitful community engagement and successful deployment Arm CCA systems in future. Best Regards Soby Mathew PS : We hope to setup readthedocs documentation in the coming days, but till then , please bear with the github rendering of the rst documentation.

V2.8 Release code freeze notification

by Joanna Farley

Hi all, As documented in the Release Cadence section of the TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-informatio…) the v2.8 release has an expected code freeze date of 3rd week of November 2022. That equates to the start of that week Monday 14th November which is one calendar month away from tomorrow when the rc0 tag will be applied. Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days normally over the last few releases. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. Preparations for v2.8 release is already underway. Thanks Joanna

Conditional CMOs

by Okash Khawaja

Hi, When a core is in debug recovery mode its caches are not invalidated upon reset, so the L1 and L2 cache contents from before reset are observable after reset. Similarly, debug recovery mode of DynamIQ cluster ensures that contents of the shared L3 cache are also not invalidated upon transition to On mode. A common use case of booting cores in debug recovery mode is to boot with caches disabled and preserve the caches until a point where software can dump the caches and retrieve their contents. TF-A however unconditionally cleans and invalidates caches at multiple points during boot, e.g. in bl31_entrypoint when cleaning bss and .data sections. This will not only lose the cache content needed for debugging but will potentially corrupt memory as well, leading to bugs when booting in recovery mode. Can we make CMOs in lib/aarch64/cache_helpers.S conditional upon some platform hook to address above scenario? Happy to work on a patch if the idea of conditional CMOs makes sense. Thanks, Okash
