Impact of the tf.org projects' maintenance process on TF-A

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello all, As the trustedfirmware.org project maintenance process [1] is now live, it would be good if we start adopting it in our development flow for TF-A. I would like to highlight the main changes that will have an impact on our day-to-day work on the project. 1. Patch submitters to explicit choose their reviewers ------------------------------------------------------ All patches should now have dedicated reviewers. The patch submitter is responsible for adding them in the reviewers field of their Gerrit review. Each patch should have 2 types of reviewers: - Code owners. - Maintainers. There needs to be 1 code owner per module modified by the patch as well as 1 maintainer. The maintainers and code owners are listed here: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/maintainers.html Ideally, we would have at least 2 code owners per module so that they can review each other's patches. Unfortunately we're not there yet (especially for platform ports) so we need a work around for patches submitted by the sole code owner of a module itself. In this scenario, I would like to suggest we leave it to the patch submitter to decide on a case by case basis whether they want to nominate someone to do the detailed technical review or skip it entirely. In any case, a maintainer will still need to review and approve the patch. If this proves not to be working well over time (either because it creates unnecessary review bottlenecks or lowers the code quality too much), we can revisit that in the future. If you've got patches in review right now, may I please request you to add reviewers accordingly? The sooner we start adopting this process the better, as it will allow us to see how this works in practice and come up with adjustments if need be. 2. Reviewers to provide feedback in a timely manner --------------------------------------------------- If someone asks you to do a review, please try to do it in a timely manner. There is no timeline guidelines set just yet for TF-A but I think a good rule of thumb would be to aim to provide feedback in a week's time. This does not mean that the review has to be completed in a week (complex patches might need a lot of discussion and/or rounds of review & rework), just that there's some progress and activity at least once per week. If for some reason, you know you won't be able to honour a review request, please say so on Gerrit ASAP so that the patch submitter can choose another reviewer. 3. What's next? --------------- In the coming weeks or months, we'd like to: - Extend the list of code owners. - Extend the list of maintainers. - Come up with TF-A specific contribution guidelines that complement the tf.org process [1]. We already have some here [2] but would like to expand them and possibly revisit some of them. Obviously, this will be a community effort, much like the tf.org process was, and all TF-A contributors will have a say in defining this so that we end up with something that works for everyone (as much as possible). Best regards, Sandrine [1] https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… [2] https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/process/contributing.html

Re: [TF-A] Proposal for Measured Boot Implementation

by Vivek Prasad

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

Re: [TF-A] Need input on Errata implementation

Hi Raghu I guess this depends on what the errata workaround involves. Since this workaround applies bit setting on an out of context register, it was not expected to affect the EL3 execution performance (or the lower level EL because the bits are restored on return). Also it was thought that the act of searching through the list of compiled CPUs and checking if the workaround is applicable might be more detrimental than the unilateral application of the workaround for this case (assuming no extra barriers are added since the code path it is inserted in have them already later in the sequence). But I agree it is more elegant to have this coupled into CPU_OPS framework. I think Manish has some ideas for this.

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

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, I've received very little feedback on version 2 of the proposal, which hints that we are reaching an agreement. Thus, I plan to finalize the proposal this week. This can then become part of our development flow for all trustedfirmware.org projects. Thanks again for all the inputs! Regards, Sandrine Bailleux

Re: [TF-A] Need input on Errata implementation

by Manish Badarkhe

Hi Raghu Just to add/correct one more thing from my previous emails that this errata workaround proposed is applied to both normal and secure world switches to EL3. Thanks Manish Badarkhe On 29/04/2020, 12:25, "TF-A on behalf of Manish Badarkhe via TF-A" <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org on behalf of tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: Hi Raghu On 29/04/2020, 02:00, "Raghu K" <raghu.ncstate(a)icloud.com> wrote: Hi Manish, Thanks. >> we don’t have any AT instances in minimum execution window after context switching from S-EL(1/2) >> to EL3 and before updating TCR register. 1) What is the minimum execution window? Does that not change based on micro-architecture? Not sure about exact minimum execution window. IMO, it really depend upon when "context_save" gets called after entering into EL3 from S-EL1/2. It may changed upon micro-architecture. Need some experts comment here. 2) Do we know that the "execution window" is exactly the same for all the CPU's this errata applies to? It may be but we should not worry on that if we don’t have any AT instruction execution in that window. Also, it appears we are only talking about switching from S-EL1/2 to EL3. The same issue can happen when you go from NS-EL1/EL2 to EL3 as well. There also seems to be an assumption in the patch you submitted that this errata happens only during a so called context-switch. From my reading, the cortex-Ax errata notices don't limit the errata to occur only during "context-switches" in the "conditions" section and can occur while executing ANY code, although the work around section does muddy the waters a bit. In Linux, at NS-EL2 this workaround is already in place. Hence we just thought of considering cases from Secure EL side to put this workaround. Yes, errata should not limit to particular conditional section but this particular errata is not straight-forward like another errata placed in the code currently. We can't simply apply this errata on reset and just leave the system. Back to problem, AT instruction speculative execution using out-of-context regime that results in page table walk and generate the incorrect translation which are cached in TLB. To avoid this issue we thought of disabling PTW for that particular EL. for e.g. If AT instruction execution for EL1 present in EL3 then we have to make sure speculative behaviour of this AT should not result in incorrect translation cached in TLB. If system is always in EL3 (if we loop-in in EL3 always without going back and forth to/from lower EL) then in that case there is no need of this workaround. Hence we thought to put this workaround over boundary context of context switches. When "context save" (close to EL3 entry) happened we meticulously save all EL system registers (S-EL1/S-EL2) with PTW disabled and continue EL3 execution with PTW disabled ensuring we should not cache any incorrect translation for (S-EL1/S-EL2) and during "context restore" (i.e. close to EL3 exit) again we disabled PTW, restore all system registers for EL (S-EL1/S-EL2) except TCR and then restore TCR. 3) Has there been any work done to actually reproduce this issue and also to see that this actually fixes the issue? No this issue is hard to reproduce. 4) Has the CPU errata framework(cpu_ops etc.) been considered to possibly implement the errata? Sprinkling erratas through common framework code does not seem like a good idea. We thought of taking different approach for this errata implementation where anybody disable this workaround using macro as this errata is applicable for most of the CPUs (by default enabled) and can't be placed in cpu_ops.

There was regression noticed in the dmc620 ras error handling in the code pushed to Linaro for RD-N1-Edge platform. This will be fixed later today and patches will be merged into Linaro repos.

Re: [TF-A] Need input on Errata implementation

by Manish Badarkhe

Hi Raghu Please see my answers inline On 25/04/2020, 06:38, "TF-A on behalf of Raghu K via TF-A" <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org on behalf of tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: Hi Manish, Before I agree or disagree with the suggested fix, the following would be interesting to know/discuss. Please feel free to correct me if i've misunderstood something. 1) Are "speculative" AT instructions subject to TCR_ELx control bits for all the listed CPU's? I imagine the answer is yes but would be good to get confirmation. I could not find any evidence in the instruction description or psuedocode in the ARMv8 ARM. It is possible to play many tricks on speculative execution of instructions such as skipping checks and doing them only when the CPU knows the instruction will be committed. If this is the case, changing TCR_ELx bits may not work. The errata document is vague about how to fix it. The speculative AT instruction may behave as you mentioned. We need more opinion on this. Proposed fix I mentioned by referring linux workaround for the same errata. Linux workaround is available in mainline kernel as below: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… 2) Assuming the answer to question 1 is yes, your proposal may not work as is. In the worst case, as soon as you enter EL3, the very first thing that may happen, before you ever operate/write to TCR_ELx, is a speculative AT instruction that caches a bad translation in the TLB's. The same thing can happen on the exit path. As soon as you restore the TCR_ELx register, the first thing that can happen is a speculative AT that caches a bad translation. However, the el3_exit path does have DSB before ERET, so we will not speculate to an AT instruction if there are no branches between the instruction that sets TCR_ELx and the ERET. Somewhere in between, it looks like we will need a TLBI NSH to be certain there are no bad translation cached. This obviously has a potential performance cost on the lower EL's. Every entry into EL3 flushes the TLB for lower EL's. Yes, this seems to be valid case during entry and exit path. I am not quite sure in that case where we need to avoid PTW. Also "TLBI NSH" works but it may cause performance issue. Need some more opinion/thoughts on this. Just thinking, can sequence mentioned for context save does not ensure that PTW is disabled? Something as below as last step in ELx(1/2) context save (elaborated more): > ·Save TCR register with PTW enable (EPD=0). (Just to enable PTW during > restore context).

Hi Manish, Before I agree or disagree with the suggested fix, the following would be interesting to know/discuss.

Need input on Errata implementation

by Manish Badarkhe

Hi All We are trying to implement errata which is applicable for below CPUs: <CPUs> : <Errata No.> Cortex-A53: 1530924 Cortex-A76: 1165522 Cortex-A72: 1319367 Cortex-A57: 1319537 Cortex-A55: 1530923 Errata Description: A speculative Address Translation (AT) instruction translates using registers that are associated with an out-of-context translation regime and caches the resulting translation in the TLB. A subsequent translation request that is generated when the out-of-context translation regime is current uses the previous cached TLB entry producing an incorrect virtual to physical mapping. Probable solution is to implement below fix in context.S file: During ELx (1 or 2) context save: · Operate TCR_ELx(1/2) to disable page table walk by operating EPD bits o This will avoid any page table walk for S-EL1 or S-EL2. This will help in avoiding caching of translations in TLB for S-EL1/S-EL2 in EL3. · Save all system registers (which is already available) except TCR · Clear EPD bits of TCR and then save. (Just to enable PTW during restore context). During ELx (1 or 2) context restore: * Operate TCR_ELx(1/2) to disable page table walk by operating EPD bits * Restore all system registers (which are saved during context save) except TCR register. * Restore TCR_ELx(1/2) register (which enable back PTW). With above we ensured that there will be no page table walk for S-EL1 and S-EL2 in EL3. is this proper other way to fix this problem? Need some suggestion/use cases where and all we need this workaround in TF-A code. Thanks Manish Badarkhe IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Re: [TF-A] Event Log for Measured Boot

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi, On 4/21/20 7:23 AM, Soby Mathew via TF-A wrote: > My view is that smaller patches are easier to review and we should try to break up the patches to logical chucks where possible. I haven't taken a look at the patches myself but I am sure there will be ways to break it up for ease of review. I would like to strongly echo this. I find big patches so hard to review. There is only so much things the human brain can comprehend in one go. Smaller patches are just easier to reason about, they focus on one thing and it is easier to get your head around them because the entire patch and the interaction it may have with other components "fits" in one's head. Thus, it is much easier to reach a good level of confidence at review time. Also, I believe there is a natural tendency of getting discouraged at the sight of big patches, smaller patches have a much better chance of getting reviewed quickly. They can also be dealt with incrementally. Say in a 10 patch stack, it may happen that the 5 first are good to go, while the sixth is more controversial and requires more discussion. In this case, being able to merge the 5 patches is a first step in the right direction. Ideally, one should think about how to split the patches in a logical, manageable way early during development. It is true that if it is an afterthought, breaking up a huge patch down into smaller ones is a lot of work. This is why it needs doing upfront IMO. Cheers, Sandrine

Re: [TF-A] 回复：Re: 回复：Re: [RAS] BL32 UnRecognized Event - 0xC4000061 and BL31 Crashed

by Thomas Abraham

[resending as the previous email was sent to the wrong address] Hi, Looking into the mail chain below, this is probably being tested on RD-N1-Edge platform. There was regression noticed in the dmc620 ras error handling in the code pushed to Linaro for RD-N1-Edge platform. This will be fixed later today and patches will be merged into Linaro repos. It should then be accessible using the usual repo init/sync commands.

Re: [TF-A] 回复：Re: 回复：Re: [RAS] BL32 UnRecognized Event - 0xC4000061 and BL31 Crashed

by Olivier Deprez

Hi Raghu, Yes you're right, we probably need few return code checks here and here. I may submit a patch and verify it doesn't break anything else. Hi Bin Wu, I had noticed the following sequence originating from linux sdei driver init down to TF-A: INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81000100 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81000200 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81000300 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81010000 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81010100 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81010200 INFO: SDEI: Private events initialized on 81010300 INFO: SDEI: > VER INFO: SDEI: < VER:1000000000000 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81000000 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81000200 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81000300 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81010000 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81010100 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81010200 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81010300 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > P_RESET():81000100 INFO: SDEI: < P_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > S_RESET():81000100 INFO: SDEI: < S_RESET:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81000000 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81000100 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81000200 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81000300 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81010000 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81010100 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81010200 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > UNMASK:81010300 INFO: SDEI: < UNMASK:0 INFO: SDEI: > INFO(n:804, 0) INFO: SDEI: < INFO:0 INFO: SDEI: > INFO(n:805, 0) INFO: SDEI: < INFO:0 There is an Sdei Info request about events 804 and 805. Although I don't see any register or enable event service call, so I wonder if this demo code is missing something or expects that the platform implements such event definition natively. This does not look like flows described in https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/sdei.html for regular SDEI usage or explicit dispatch of events. Maybe we should involve Linaro ppl on the expected init sequence and dependency to TF-A (platform files).

Re: [TF-A] Event Log for Measured Boot

by Soby Mathew

My view is that smaller patches are easier to review and we should try to break up the patches to logical chucks where possible. I haven't taken a look at the patches myself but I am sure there will be ways to break it up for ease of review.
