Re: [TF-A] Invitation: TF-A Tech Forum @ Every 2 weeks from 16:00 to 17:00 on Thursday (BST) (tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org)

by Joanna Farley

Hi Everyone, this is the TF-A Tech Forum meeting agenda for this week. Thanks Joanna Subject: ‘Measured Boot Driver - refactor and Critical Data measurement design’ Presented by: Manish Badarkhe 1. A brief overview of Measured Boot driver refactoring done in TF-A Bootloader 2. Discuss a few gaps observed in the Measured Boot driver and patches up-streamed for it 3. Discuss the list of critical data observed in TF-A firmware and its measurement design From: linaro.org_havjv2figrh5egaiurb229pd8c(a)group.calendar.google.com When: 16:00 - 17:00 2 December 2021 Subject: [TF-A] Invitation: TF-A Tech Forum @ Every 2 weeks from 16:00 to 17:00 on Thursday (BST) (tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org) Regular bi weekly Trustedfirmware.org TF-A TechForum.

Re: [TF-A] Missing CPU workaround warning message

by Varun Wadekar

Hi Pali, My understanding of the errata reporting mechanism is that some erratas are always checked during CPU boot. If the corresponding MACRO (ERRATA_A53_*) is disabled, then the ERRATA_MISSING code is reported. I would be concerned if the CPU is affected by the errata. If the errata needs to be enabled, the fix would be to enable the ERRATA_A53_* from the platform makefile. Hope this helps. -Varun -----Original Message----- From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Pali Rohár via TF-A Sent: Wednesday, July 7, 2021 9:11 PM To: Olivier Deprez <Olivier.Deprez(a)arm.com>; Bipin Ravi <Bipin.Ravi(a)arm.com>; tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: Konstantin Porotchkin <kostap(a)marvell.com>; Marek Behún <marek.behun(a)nic.cz> Subject: Re: [TF-A] Missing CPU workaround warning message External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hello!

Re: [TF-A] PSCI lock contention

by Varun Wadekar

<Adding TF-A mailing list to the discussion> Thanks, Soby. I agree that this needs to be re-evaluated for platforms. I think we should introduce an option to disable them, if required. We plan to try some more experiments and hopefully remove the locks at least for Tegra platforms. Looking forward to the elaborate answer. From: Soby Mathew <Soby.Mathew(a)arm.com> Sent: Tuesday, 2 November 2021 10:18 AM To: Varun Wadekar <vwadekar(a)nvidia.com>; Manish Pandey2 <Manish.Pandey2(a)arm.com>; Dan Handley <Dan.Handley(a)arm.com> Cc: Joanna Farley <Joanna.Farley(a)arm.com>; Matteo Carlini <Matteo.Carlini(a)arm.com> Subject: RE: PSCI lock contention External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hi Varun, The short answer is that the locks are used to differentiate the last-CPU-to-suspend and similarly first-CPU-to-powerup at a given power domain level. Now, recent CPU features like DynamIQ means that we don't need to do this differentiation upto cluster level which TF-A hasn't optimized for yet AFAICS. I am happy to elaborate further , but could you please send the query to the TF-A mailing list as I would prefer this discussion to happen in the open if possible. Best Regards Soby Mathew From: Varun Wadekar <vwadekar(a)nvidia.com<mailto:vwadekar@nvidia.com>> Sent: 01 November 2021 20:14 To: Soby Mathew <Soby.Mathew(a)arm.com<mailto:Soby.Mathew@arm.com>>; Manish Pandey2 <Manish.Pandey2(a)arm.com<mailto:Manish.Pandey2@arm.com>>; Dan Handley <Dan.Handley(a)arm.com<mailto:Dan.Handley@arm.com>> Cc: Joanna Farley <Joanna.Farley(a)arm.com<mailto:Joanna.Farley@arm.com>>; Matteo Carlini <Matteo.Carlini(a)arm.com<mailto:Matteo.Carlini@arm.com>> Subject: PSCI lock contention Hi, We were trying performance benchmarking for CPU_SUSPEND on Tegra platforms. We take all CPU cores to CPU_SUSPEND and then wake them up with IPI - all at once and in serial order. From the numbers, we see that the CPUs powering up later take more time than the first one. We have narrowed the most time consumed to the PSCI locks - documented at docs/perf/psci-performance-juno.rst. Can you please help me understand why these locks were added? As a quick experiment we tried the same benchmarking *without* the locks and the firmware does not blow up, but I would like to understand the impact from the analysis on Juno (docs/perf/psci-performance-juno.rst) Happy to hop on a call to discuss further.

Re: [TF-A] Trusted Firmware-A v2.6 release activities in November

by Joanna Farley

TF-A Community, Just a reminder we are looking to freeze the tree for release activities starting Monday. Thanks Joanna From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Joanna Farley via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Reply to: Joanna Farley <Joanna.Farley(a)arm.com> Date: Monday, 1 November 2021 at 12:41 To: Joanna Farley via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-A] Trusted Firmware-A v2.6 release activities in November TF-A Community, This is to notify that we are planning to target the Trusted Firmware-A 2.6 release during the fourth week of Nov 2021 as part of the regular 6 month cadence. The aim is to consolidate all TF-A work since the 2.5 release. As part of this, a release candidate tag will be created and release activities will commence from 15th November 2021 across all TF-A repositories. Essentially we will not merge any major enhancements from this date until the release is made. Please ensure any patches desired to make the 2.6 release are submitted in good time to be complete by 12th November 2021. Any major enhancement patches still open after that date will not be merged until after the release. This will involve the various repositories making up the broader TF-A project including the TF-A mainline, TF-A Tests, Hafnium, TF-A CI Scripts and TF-A CI Jobs. We will endeavour minimise the disruption on patch merging and complete release activities ASAP after we start. Thanks Joanna

FW: Two issues in Qemu port docs

by Joanna Farley

Forwarded on to TF-A Mail list. Seems postings from people with gmail.com email domains get automatically rejected, sorry Ramon not sure if that can be addressed.

Trusted Firmware-A v2.6 release activities in November

by Joanna Farley

TF-A Community, This is to notify that we are planning to target the Trusted Firmware-A 2.6 release during the fourth week of Nov 2021 as part of the regular 6 month cadence. The aim is to consolidate all TF-A work since the 2.5 release. As part of this, a release candidate tag will be created and release activities will commence from 15th November 2021 across all TF-A repositories. Essentially we will not merge any major enhancements from this date until the release is made. Please ensure any patches desired to make the 2.6 release are submitted in good time to be complete by 12th November 2021. Any major enhancement patches still open after that date will not be merged until after the release. This will involve the various repositories making up the broader TF-A project including the TF-A mainline, TF-A Tests, Hafnium, TF-A CI Scripts and TF-A CI Jobs. We will endeavour minimise the disruption on patch merging and complete release activities ASAP after we start. Thanks Joanna

ARM Trusted memory Resolution

by IS20 Boaz Baron

Hi all, What is the resolution for secure memory space with the Trust zone? Is it dependent on the MMU resolution? Means, for example, If my MMU can set a range of 16 KB so can I set that range as a trusted zone as well? P.S. I have ARM A35 (I am not sure but I think my MMU supports a resolution of 32KB) You are welcome to comment if I have any mistakes Thanks a lot, Boaz. ________________________________ The privileged confidential information contained in this email is intended for use only by the addressees as indicated by the original sender of this email.

Re: [TF-A] TFA affinity power level

by Madhukar Pappireddy

Hi HPChen 1. Can try setting PLATFORM_MAX_AFFLVL to MPIDR_AFFLVL2? I am assuming your platform has 1 cluster with 2 cores. 2. The project currently supports a limited number of platforms. The default test suite[1] contains several smaller test suites. The tests are designed to auto-detect critical features supported by the platform. Rather than fail, tftf will skip tests if a feature is not supported. Please refer to the documentation for the tf-a-tests project here: https://trustedfirmware-a-tests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html [1] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/tf-a-tests.git/tree/tftf/tests/tests-s… Thanks, Madhukar -----Original Message----- From: TF-A <mailman-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of MS10 HPChen0 Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 10:43 PM To: tf-a-owner(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: TFA affinity power level Hi, I'm Nuvoton software engineer. We have an A35 dual core platform. I ported the TFA for this platform. Now I want test the TFA on test suite. I have some questions. Please help to answer. Thanks! 1.

Support for passing 18 parameters to/from an SMC call in AArch64

by Rebecca Cran

I noticed TF-A currently supports passing in 4 parameters and returning up to 8. But SMCCC 1.1+ supports passing up to 18 and returning 18 in AArch64 mode, and passing in/out 8 in AArch32. I was wondering if there are any plans to add support for handling the full set of parameters? -- Rebecca Cran

For TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT in development mode, I guess you are referring to DYN_DISABLE_AUTH. If yes then I think such a macro makes sense for encryption as well in order to disable decryption at runtime in development mode, patches are very much welcome.

[RFC]: Refactor measured boot patches

by Manish Badarkhe

Hi All, We have refactored/redesigned the existing measured boot driver present in the TF-A repo to support it with multiple backend driver(s) (for example, TCG Event Log, physical TPM, etc) instead of it being strongly coupled with the TCG Event Log driver. Proposed refactored patches are posted here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22refactor-mb%22+(status:open%2… Any feedback/comments on these patches are much appreciated. These patches mainly consist of the below changes: 1. Move image measurement in the generic layer, just after loading and authentication of the image. Previously, the platform layer was responsible for the measurement. For example, the Arm FVP platform layer was doing it as part of the post-load hook operation. 2. Measurement and recording of the images loaded by BL1. Previously, DTB config files loaded by BL1 were not part of measured at all. Also, it looks safer and cleaner approach to record the measurement taken by BL1 straightaway in TCG Event log buffer/physical TPM/any other TPM backend instead of deferring these recordings to BL2. 3. Pass Event Log buffer information from BL1 to BL2 so that the TCG Event Log buffer initialised by BL1 extended further with the measurements taken by BL2. Note: These patches neither add any new functional backend driver for measured boot nor update any existing backend driver functionality (i.e. TCG Event Log driver). These changes only structured the measured boot code to provide a space to plug in any new backend driver(s) in future for the measured boot. Thanks, Manish Badarkhe

Issue submitting changes for review at https://review.trustedfirmware.org

by Jorge Troncoso

Hi all, I tried submitting a change for review at https://review.trustedfirmware.org, but I ran into authentication issues. 1. First try (https): $ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/integration Username for 'https://review.trustedfirmware.org': jatron Password for 'https://jatron@review.trustedfirmware.org': remote: Unauthorized fatal: Authentication failed for ' https://review.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/' I tried clicking "GENERATE NEW PASSWORD" in https://review.trustedfirmware.org/settings/, but I got the following error message: An error occurred Error 500 (Server Error): Internal server error Endpoint: /accounts/self/password.http 2. Second try (ssh): I got the following error message when I tried registering a new SSH key for use with Gerrit. This happened when I clicked "ADD NEW SSH KEY" in https://review.trustedfirmware.org/settings/. An error occurred Error 500 (Server Error): Internal server error Endpoint: /accounts/self/sshkeys The error message didn't stop the GUI from recording my key though. My new key was listed under "SSH keys" after the change. When I ran a git push command using ssh, I got the following error. $ git push ssh://jatron@review.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a HEAD:refs/for/integration jatron(a)review.trustedfirmware.org: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Am I doing something incorrectly? Any help would be much appreciated. If this is not the mailing list for these types of questions, please let me know so I can reroute my email to the proper destination. Thanks, Jorge Troncoso

: Forthcoming UFS driver patches

by Jorge Troncoso

Hi all, I'm planning to submit a series of patches that aim to improve the robustness and reusability of the UFS code. The impacted files are drivers/ufs/ufs.c and include/drivers/ufs.h. The patches mainly consist of the below changes: 1. Delete asserts. Return error values instead. 2. Add retry logic and timeouts. 3. Remove infinite loops. 4. Reuse ufshc_send_uic_cmd() for DME_GET and DME_SET commands. 5. Add a function ufs_send_cmd() that can be reused in other places. ufs_send_cmd() calls four functions in sequence: get_utrd(&utrd), ufs_prepare_cmd(&utrd, ...), ufs_send_request(utrd.task_tag), and ufs_check_resp(&utrd, RESPONSE_UPIU). I wanted to give everyone visibility of what is coming up and hopefully start a discussion around this work. Any early input to help shape the design would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jorge Troncoso

How to write a Trsuted Application?

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I want to write a TA which will be called from the Normal World and be handled by a specific Trusted OS. Currently, I am using 3 Cactus OS (provided by TF-A-Tests) in SEL1, and a Hafnium in SEL2. Here is my partial building cmd make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- SPD=spmd CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS=1 ARM_ARCH_MINOR=4 PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1 BL33=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/tftf.bin BL32=../hafnium/out/reference/secure_aem_v8a_fvp_clang/hafnium.bin SP_LAYOUT_FILE=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/sp_layout.json all fip I have created some EL3 services at services/std_svc, but have not created a TA. In my view, to call the TA, I think I should pass (1) the ID of the TA (but I am not sure how to get the ID) (2) several parameters, which may be loaded into registers. Here may be a calling process. ldr x0,=0xdeadbeef // loading ID ldr x1,=0x11111 // input parameters ldr x2,=0x22222 // input parameters smc #0 Then I think I should write a corresponding handler (of the TA) in Cactus OS. When we call "smc #0", EL3 will trap it, and route it to a specific TA. However, I don't know how to do it. Can you provide some useful examples? Sincerely, Wang Chenxu

Issue with @foss.st.com e-mail address

by Yann Gautier

Hello, Last Thursday we got an issue on our @foss.st.com mail server, preventing us from receiving mails. The issue was corrected, and I can now correctly receive mails, except the ones from trustedfirmware.org. Is there some kind of filtering on trustedfirmware.org side, as those addresses got error replies? I've tried to delete my yann.gautier(a)foss.st.com in the trusted firmware gerrit settings, to re-enter it again, but I cannot receive the verification e-mail. Could you check if @foss.st.com addresses are rejected somewhere? Thanks, Yann

Disable the EL2 hypervisor mode

by IS20 Boaz Baron

Hi all, I have a little question, how can I disable the hypervisor mode so EL2 will be just bridge to EL1 ns? (I mean without touching common ARM code only the platform-oriented code) Thanks, Boaz. ________________________________ The privileged confidential information contained in this email is intended for use only by the addressees as indicated by the original sender of this email.

include/plat/common in project path?

by Yann Gautier

Hi, When I check the tf-static-checks for the FIP/FCONF series I pushed for STM32MP1, I have a failure: 1d204ee4a:plat/st/common/bl2_io_storage.c: ['tools_share/firmware_image_package.h should be in project group, after system group'] First I didn't understand the issue, as the file is in project group. But the issue is due to previous include: #include <plat/common/platform.h> As it is inside include/plat directory, it is seen as a platform include. For me the files in this include/plat/common directory are more project, but what is your point of view? If they are platform files, I should modify my series to reflect that. If they are project files, then the check-include-order.py script should be updated. Here is what could be the correction: diff --git a/script/static-checks/check-include-order.py b/script/static-checks/check-include-order.py index aaf84f1..53d355b 100755 --- a/script/static-checks/check-include-order.py +++ b/script/static-checks/check-include-order.py @@ -87,6 +87,8 @@ def inc_order_is_correct(inc_list, path, commit_hash=""): incs = collections.defaultdict(list) error_msgs = [] plat_incs = dir_include_paths("plat") | dir_include_paths("include/plat") + plat_common_incs = dir_include_paths("include/plat/common") + plat_incs.difference_update(plat_common_incs) libc_incs = dir_include_paths("include/lib/libc") Best regards, Yann

Re: [TF-A] Rethrow SError from EL3 to kernel on arm64

by Ming Huang

Hi, I did the test report SDEI to kernel with fatal severity in APEI / CPER while EL3 received SEA(SCR_EL3.EA = 1). Kernel will panic and print calltrace, but this calltrace was not the position where error occured(another word where throw SEA), instead calltrace in ghes.c. How can SDEI solution let kernel print calltrace at right position? For issue analysis, the right position calltrace is very useful. For ACPI firmware-first, we set SCR_EL3.EA = 1, although the solution rethrow EA back to kernel will suffer from some problems, but this solution can let kernel print calltrace at right position.

Re: [TF-A] TRNG SMCs intercepted by SPM-MM

by Olivier Deprez

Hi Andrew, I have submitted the change as you have passed it through the ML as a base for the discussion. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/11002 The issue is acknowledged, we had a brief discussion internally as to how best to refactor if need be. It looks to us the main problem is that SPM-MM (pre-dating FF-A) has aged a bit and mixes standard and impdef func ids. e.g. MM is an Arm standard and only defines two func ids (0x84000040, 0x84000041) so it may just be a matter of updating SPM_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE to 0x41 such that MM related services go through. The other ids 0xX4000060, 61, 64, 65 are purely impdef for the SPM-MM to/from SP communication. Thus we may define SP_MM_FID_MIN_VALUE/SP_MM_FID_MAX_VALUE and a corresponding is_sp_mm_fid macro. This would avoid the clash with TRNG IDs (0xX4000050, 51, 52, 53). What do you reckon? Btw out of curiosity how did you discover this? Do you have a setup enabling both SPM_MM and TRNG_SUPPORT option? Or maybe this is because of Trusty SPD reuse of spm_mm_smc_handler?

Issue with Xilinx ZynqMP FPGA loading with ATF v2.5

by Robert Hancock

After updating to ATF v2.5 on the Xilinx ZynqMP platform, I was having issues with the FPGA PL logic not loading successfully from U-Boot, it was failing with this error: PL FPGA LOAD failed with err: 0x000007d6 which is PM_RET_ERROR_TIMEOUT. The following commit introduced the timeout: commit 4d9b9b2352f9a67849faf2d4484f5fcdd2788b01 Author: Tejas Patel <tejas.patel(a)xilinx.com> Date: Thu Feb 25 02:37:09 2021 -0800 plat: xilinx: Add timeout while waiting for IPI Ack Return timeout error if, IPI is not acked in specified timeout. Signed-off-by: Tejas Patel <tejas.patel(a)xilinx.com> Change-Id: I27be3d4d4eb5bc57f6a84c839e2586278c0aec19 The timeout value (TIMEOUT_COUNT_US) is set to 0x4000 (16384) usec, which appears to be too short for the FPGA loading operation (at least on the ZCU102 board with XCZU9EG device), causing it to always timeout. Increasing the timeout to 0xF4240 usec (i.e. 1 second) fixes the issue, though some lower value may also be sufficient. -- Robert Hancock Senior Hardware Designer, Calian Advanced Technologies www.calian.com

SPMC creates a mapping for the manifest in the SP's virtual address space and passes the pointer to SP via X0 3. SP manifest contains an entry to publish the virtual address for its manifest.

How is the SP informed about where to find the dtb (IPA address)? Saying this because the boot protocol between Hafnium and SPs is very much implementation specific at this moment and does not strictly follow the FF-A spec recommendations (data passing as TLVs). There is a trick that the manifest blob remains fortunately mapped from offset 0 in the SP IPA range. So it may be able to extract manifest data by mapping it the Stage-1 translation regime. But as said this does not follow a standard. [VW] We don't have a policy for all SPs, yet. At least I don't know of one.

We can collaborate on an implementation, once we agree on the direction.

The way the SP manifest is created today, the "entrypoint-offset" field is set to a value *statically* by the implementer. Down the line if the manifest grows past the value written in the "entrypoint-offset", we must manually update it. This needs to be fixed. We believe there is an opportunity to upgrade the sptool to handle this situation during SP package creation, where sptool calculates the manifest size and bumps the "entrypoint-offset" past the end of the manifest. There are other ways of patching the SP manifest at runtime, but they seem sub-optimal. Please let me know if there are other ideas to solve this problem. I will post a patch to update the sptool shortly but wanted to get the ball rolling. [OD] We had an attempt (https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Freview.tr…) to move the entry point farther in the image such that we can support 64KB granules in the Stage-1 translation regime.

Re: [TF-A] A Q about TZ porting guide

by Manish Pandey2

Hi Boaz, It appears that you have included plat/arm files in your platform porting which is causing Arm platform function definition to be included. Along with providing generic implementations Arm also has its own platforms(like any other partner platforms), code under plat/arm is meant only for Arm platforms. Check your make file and make sure that you don't include plat/arm/common/arm_pm.c(to avoid plat_setup_psci_ops) and plat/arm/common/aarch64/arm_helpers.S(for other functions you mentioned) this will avoid multiple definition errors.

Secure boot without FIP

by guillaume pivetta

Hi, I’m trying to implement a secure boot on a STM32MP1 without using the FIP file. For now , I am not able to use FIP format during the boot process so I use a depreciated boot process with TF-Av2.2 as FSBL and U-Boot as SSBL to boot my Board. My boot process do Romcode -> TF-A (BL2) -> SP_min (BL32) -> U-Boot (BL33) -> Linux kernel I succefully implemented signature authentification between U-Boot and Linux image, but between TF-A and U-Boot it’s a little bit harder. I learned on ST wiki how to sign my u-boot binary with the STM32MP_SigningTool_CLI, but when I sign my binary with a custom private key, TF-A don’t authentified it on boot, even if i tryed to pass my key to TF-A at compilation time with the BL33_KEY argument, which i think is dedicated to the FIP usage. I found, in the sources of TF-A, what I think being a developpement key, named « arm_rotpk_ecdsa.pem ». And when I sign my binary with this key, I am able to perform the signature check and continu my boot process. So I tryed to change this key with a custom one and recompile TF-A to update the key in the final binary, but it seem that it is not so simple. I found yesterday that the auth_mod_init() function wasn’t call because I had forgotten the TUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 compilation argument. But when I activate it, the compilation doesn’t work and i see « build/arm-trusted-firmware-v2.2/bl2/bl2_main.c:91: undefined reference to `auth_mod_init' » Whitch traditionnaly append when linker don’t find the .o where the functions are implemented. I would like to know if it is possible to implement some kind of authentification with custom keys without FIP and if yes where can i find some hints/ressources/tutorial ? I don’t find a lot of ressources about secure boot without FIP so I hope you will be able to help me.

When building with OP-TEE we're overriding this assignment by passing "QEMU_USE_GIC_DRIVER=$(TFA_GIC_DRIVER)" (where TFA_GIC_DRIVER is either QEMU_GICV3 or QEMU_GICV2) on the command line. This is now tested on a regular basis since we've recently added Xen support to the OP-TEE build setup on QEMU V8 and this depends on using GICv3 instead of GICv2. Does this help in your case?

Re: [TF-A] [RFC] QTI platform ports violate Binary Components policy?

by Julius Werner

Hi Tom, Thanks for your interest in the SC7180 TF-A port! You're asking fair questions about a difficult situation, so let me try to add some background: The binary component policy was actually written specifically as part of the discussions about adding the SC7180 port, to lay some guidelines and ground rules about how to deal with binary components (which already existed in some other platform ports beforehand). This case was discussed in-depth with the project leaders and the trustedfirmware.org Board beforehand, and it was always understood that this would have to be a tricky compromise. As you may know, devices (e.g. Android phones) with Qualcomm chipsets generally do not run TF-A, but instead run Qualcomm's proprietary trusted OS and secure monitor (QTEE). The TF-A port was more of an experimental side project (which has by now resulted in a few SC7180-based Chromebooks being sold with TF-A, but the much larger phone market continues to use QTEE), so unfortunately the TF project's position to make demands is not yet as solid as you may think. Basically, we could have either made these compromises or continue to not support Qualcomm chipsets at all, so due to their prevalence in the ecosystem we decided it would be worth it to start like this, try to make the situation as good as it can get, and then hopefully improve on that in future chipset generations. The binary policy is meant as more of a decision guideline and individual cases are ultimately up to the Board. FWIW maybe I slightly mis-summarized the policy in the text added to the contributing.rst document -- I think saying that the *majority* of the platform port (in terms of bytes of code) should be open source, while a good ambition in general, was never realistic for SC7180. The full document in https://git.trustedfirmware.org/tf-binaries.git/tree/readme.rst instead says "Binary components that contain all meaningful functionality of a platform port" are not accepted -- the intention is that there are pieces large enough to be worth modifying in the open source part, while allowing vendors to keep functionality proprietary that they absolutely do not want (or are not allowed) to disclose. For SC7180, things like UART, SPMI, PMIC and RNG drivers as well as SMC validation are implemented in open source (and as you noticed some of those were ported piecemeal at later points of the development process). I'll be the first to admit that this isn't a lot and we absolutely want to do more, but it is a tricky and very time-consuming process both in identifying the exact parts that can be open-sourced without IP concerns and then actually doing the work (since the qtiseclib code is still proprietary even if there is a Linux driver for the same subsystem, we can't just copy things over, it has to be carefully rewritten and revalidated). The state you see the SC7180 port in right now is basically just as far as we got over the course of this project (and believe me it took a lot of effort already, even if it may not look like much). Hopefully we can make further progress with the next chipset. Also, just as a note, we didn't actually end up hosting qtiseclib in the TF binary repository in the end, due to concerns about details in the license text that couldn't be resolved. It is instead hosted by the coreboot.org project at the moment. I'm not sure if this technically means that the TF binary component policy applies to this blob or not (from a strict reading of the text I would say it doesn't), but that's not really that relevant... like I said, in the end the Board makes final decisions about whether a platform port is accepted into the repository or not on a case by case basis, and the policy is just a general guideline. The general goal is to make sure the TF-A ports are actually useful to open source developers while allowing for pragmatic compromises in tricky situations like this, and in this case we decided that allowing this port would be more useful than not (although it's certainly on the edge).

Re: [TF-A] Proposal: TF-A to adopt hand-off blocks (HOBs) for information passing between boot stages

The existing TF-A implementation (bl_aux_params) is basically identical in concept to the U-Boot bloblist, but not binary compatible. Are we talking about just keeping that, or throwing it away in order to reimplement the exact structure U-Boot is using? (I would prefer to keep the bl_aux_params as they are to avoid disrupting existing uses, of course. Making backwards-incompatible changes to an interface that passes across multiple repos and firmware components is always a big pain.)
