TL;DR: Attached is the TF-A LTS proposal doc. Please review and share
your thoughts.
Hello everyone,
Long term support for TF-A has a long history. As a community we have
flirted with it for a while, and like any flirtation, it started with
gossip -- in our case, over mailing list [1] -- more than two years
ago. Then Varun Wadekar did a wonderful tech forum presentation [2]
which demonstrated interest in the topic and raised interesting
questions about LTS.
After some time, the affair lost headline status, only to be revived
again [3], earlier this year. This time however, there is a formal
proposal (no pun intended). After the mailing list discussion and
feedback from TF-A tech forum [4], we have put together a draft which
attempts to give a concrete idea about what the TF-A LTS will look
like.
Please spare some time to read through it and share your feedback. The
plan is to put LTS into action this November.
Cheers!
Okash

Hi All,
Sorry if this is the wrong list, I'm trying to submit a patch for tf-a and
I'm currently unable to add an ssh key or generate an https password to use
for authentication.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
I'm trying to use the settings here:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/settings/#HTTPCredentials to add an ssh
key and I get the error message
"Error 500 (Server Error): Internal server error Endpoint:

Hi all,
I want to test how to trap the aborts caused by TZASC.
For example, when I use NS-EL1 (e.g., OS) to access a Secure region
(configured in TZASC), it will generate an abort.
But I am not sure how to trap it. I think it is an external abort, so
I enable the SCR_EL3.EA=1 and write a handler. However I cannot trap
it. Also, my other handlers in EL3 still do not report the abort.
Thus, how can I trap a TZASC abort? If I want to route it into EL3 to
handle, how can I do it?
Sincerely,
WANG Chenxu

Hi all,
I want to perform some encryption/decryption in TF-A.
I find that Arm provides some hardware-assisted instructions for
encryption and integrity verification (e.g., AESE, SHA1...). But it
seems that FVP does not support them.
I recently read Armv9 and know that Arm purposes SVE/SVE2 to
accelerate the matrix computation. It seems that it can be another
approach to accelerate the encryption.
Since I am a novice in Armv9 (and in FVP), thus, I want to ask:
(1) Do FVP and TF-A support the SVE? If yes, how to configure it?
(2) Do FVP and TF-A support the SVE2? If yes, how to configure it?
Looking forward to your reply!
Sincerely,
WANG Chenxu

Hi Glen, Don, and others,
I've seen that a couple of TF-A patches I've been CCed on recently
often seem to fail the CI run (Allow-CI+1) due to some strange
build-time errors that don't seem to have anything to do with the
patch at hand, and then one of the maintainers usually suggests that
the patch needs a rebase, and the next CI run succeeds after that.
Here are two recent examples:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/16160https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/14666
I was wondering if this is a known problem and if the CI can do
anything here to mitigate it and save developers from this extra layer
of friction? I'm not really sure why a rebase was necessary in either
of these examples or why the CI run failed before it (unless the whole
repository was in a bad state that didn't build, but since all
submissions are guarded by the CI that shouldn't have been possible?).
But I also don't really understand why the rebase would make a
difference for the CI anyway. Generally, when a patch is submitted in
Gerrit, that means it is cherry-picked onto the current master
(regardless of what parent commit it was uploaded with). Since the CI
is supposed to be a test run for submission, I would expect that the
CI should also test a patch by cherry-picking it onto the current
master, not just by building the patch on top of whatever parent
commit it was uploaded with. But since rebasing a patch evidently
seems to make a difference to the CI, that suggests that it's
currently doing the latter strategy? Should that maybe be changed to
the former to avoid these kinds of issues?
If this isn't a known problem yet maybe it would be worth adding it to the JIRA?
Thanks,
Julius
Greetings,
Armv9 introduces the RME and GPT technology. The GPT will separates
the memory into unlimited regions with specific attributes. However,
when I read the Armv9 manual and source code of TF-A, I still have
some problems:
1. It seems that GPT is a feature on CPU, but not on a specific device
(e.g.,TZC-400). Thus, will GPT conflict with TZC-400? I mean, when
performing VA->PA on RAM, what is the detailed process if I enable
both GPT and TZC-400?
2. I use the Arm FVP with Armv9 and RME extension enabled, and TF-A is
"arm_cca" branch (with TF-A v2.5). Thus, in this version, what is the
configuration for TZC-400 and GPT? Will it disable TZC-400 (I mean,
GPT only) when booting Normal World?
3. Does GPT handle peripheral access (e.g., from DMA, GPU, Sensors...
etc.)? I know TZC-400 will do it with NSAID.
4. Will GPT configures Read/Write/Execute features?
All comments are valuable!
SIncerely,
WANG Chenxu

Hi,
I have tried this before, there is a problem.
on Armv8, when MMU disabled, the default attribute of memory is device,
and device memory access has alignment requirements. For example,
accessing address (0x1) will result in fault.

Hello,
To decrease feature in BL1, I plan to disable MMU in BL1 stage.
Are there any potential issues besides performance issues?

Hi All,
Is there any public BL31 memory usage data, such as static image size
and runtime memory usage, with different feature enabled?
For example,
typical PSCI feature would require image size XXKB, runtime memory XXKB.
enabling FFA would enlarge image size by XXKB, runtime memory enlarge XXKB.
we are evaluating how much On-Chip RAM could be assigned for BL31,
if there are any public data available, that would be great.
Thanks,
Peng.
Hi,
There have been discussions about having long term support releases
for TF-A, e.g. the email thread [1] and a tech forum [2]. For partners
releasing TF-A in their production devices, LTS is very much needed.
From the previous discussions, it seems like there is an agreement
that LTS is a good idea but we need to build consensus on how to
support it. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Okash

Hi all,
I am using FVP base RevC. Recently I heard that this FVP supports a
Mali G76 GPU, and I want to test it.
To configure it, initially I add a node in
linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/fvp-base-aemv8a-aemv8a.dtsi, but it
doesn't work. Finally, I find that I should configure
trusted-firmware-a/fdts/fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts, and I can see a
mali GPU node in /proc/device-tree.
One of my booting command (sorry, the entire booting command is TOO
long) is "--data
cluster0.cpu0=arm-reference-platform/output/fvp/fvp-oe/uboot/fvp-base-aemv8a-aemv8a.dtb@0x82000000".
And I use the following shell command to compile the TF-A: make
PLAT=fvp all CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- ENABLE_RME=1 DEBUG=1
ARCH=aarch64 fip
BL33=arm-reference-platform/output/fvp/components/fvp/uboot.bin
FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS=fdts/fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts
ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG=1.
So, I wonder, why the real DTS is in TF-A, instead of Linux?
BTW, I wanna ask another question (although it is not proper to ask
here, I cannot find FVP's mailing list): Can someone provide a proper
dts configurations for FVP's Mali G76 GPU?
Sincerely,
WANG Chenxu

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed documentation about how to enable RME in tf-a. I try to replace the tftf.bin with the normal boot firmware (edk2) to load the Linux in the normal world, but it fails. The log message from terminal_0 is shown below:
INFO: RMM init start.
INFO: RMM init end.
INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world
INFO: Entry point address = 0x88000000
INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9
I found a possible solution from the archives:
[https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.…].
I try to modify the dts file under edk2-platform/Platform/ARM/VExpressPkg/DeviceTree/ to change the DDR memory range, which is similar to the modification for RME in [https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/fdts/fvp-b…], but it does not solve the problem.
So, how can I boot Linux in the normal world with RME enabled?
Thanks,
Hi,
I would like to introduce "Manish Badarkhe" <Manish.Badarkhe(a)arm.com> who has been added to the list of maintainers. This is based on his contribution to the project recently.

Hello,
A project I’m working on requires write capability for a NOR flash device in BL2 (to update a small boot mux partition). I am considering adding this capability to the IO MTD layer (https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/drivers/io…), but before doing so wanted to confirm this is in line with the architecture of this subsystem. Can someone confirm if this is an acceptable change?
Regards,
Brian
Hi!
It looks like TF-A contains zlib 1.2.11 e.g. https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/tree/lib/zlib/z…zlib.net gives their last release as 1.2.12 (March 27, 2022) with the following changelog:
"Fix a deflate bug when using the Z_FIXED strategy that can result in out-of-bound accesses.
Fix a deflate bug when the window is full in deflate_stored().
Speed up CRC-32 computations by a factor of 1.5 to 3.
Use the hardware CRC-32 instruction on ARMv8 processors.
Speed up crc32_combine() with powers of x tables.
Add crc32_combine_gen() and crc32_combine_op() for fast combines.
Due to the bug fixes, any installations of 1.2.11 should be replaced with 1.2.12."
I'm not sure if this is significant as I couldn't find usages of deflate, but thought I would mention it in case others are relying on this functionality and wish to update.
Kind regards,
Mike
Hello all,
I need to load Bl2 boot image file from emmc interface from 'Synopsys DesignWare Cores Mobile Storage Host Controller'. I can see an existing emmc driver for synopsis controller but it seems to have only support SDMA mode and not ADMA2 and ADMA3 modes.
https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/drivers/sy…
Is my understanding correct. Is there a specific reason why ADMA2/3 modes are not supported in existing driver. Any plan to update them soon?
I can see adma2/3 mode support available in Linux driver though.

Hi,
I'm currently working on porting TFA to our upcoming SOC.
We plan to support Measured boot using external I2C TPM module.
I'm wondering about the implementation of that in BL1.
Do you think that I need to write the measurements directly to the I2C
module in BL1 ?
I'm asking because I would like to have the least source of problems
in BL1 which I can't upgrade.
I thought of storing the measurements in secure RAM and perhaps copy later.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
PS.
Actually I would love to have the option to choose to implement TPM
also in SW (fTPM using optee - as was done in the POC).
I think that if I store the measurement of BL2 in secure RAM I can
later change the specific TPM while upgrading only BL2/BL31...
Thanks,
Ramon
Hello Yann,
Hello Pascal,
I've tried booting v2.7-rc0 on the lxa-mc1 and TF-A panics:
NOTICE: CPU: STM32MP157C?? Rev.B
NOTICE: Model: Linux Automation MC-1 board
ERROR: regul ldo3: max value 750 is invalid
PANIC at PC : 0x2ffeebb7
because the driver takes great offense at the content of the device
tree. The parts in question were copy-pasted from ST DTs, but those
ST DTs were fixed by commit 67d95409baae
("refactor(stm32mp1-fdts): update regulator description").
I can understand ST hesistancy to touch device trees of 'unofficial' boards,
but I would appreciate that new features then, such as this regulator sanity
checking, be made optional and off by default to not needlessly break other
boards.
Thanks,
Ahmad

We are using an arm ARCH-64 (A55) and we need to do some floating point math in BL2. It seems this is not enabled. Is there a reason why I cannot do FP math (security issue?) and if I can, how do I enable it?
I am seeing this error when I use floats "-mgeneral-regs-only"

Find ATF has Coverity Scan and test image build.
but I would to know, trustedfirmware-a whether has unit test part in the code level quality check.

Hi,
We use mainline TF-A and have problems using the HAB API in the
U-Boot. We see for example that the hab_auth_img command fails in the
mainline U-Boot. If we switch to the downstream NXP TF-A it works. Is
this to be expected?

Hi
Arguments between the BL1 and BL2 is overlap by zeromem when BL2 start.
1. BL2 save r3 to r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
/*---------------------------------------------
* Save arguments x0 - x3 from BL1 for future
* use.
* ---------------------------------------------
*/
mov r9, r0
mov r10, r1
mov r11, r2
mov r12, r3
2. BL2 call zeromem to clear bss
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
ldr r0, =__BSS_START__
ldr r1, =__BSS_END__
sub r1, r1, r0
bl zeromem
arm-trusted-firmware/lib/aarch32/misc_helpers.S
tmp .req r12 /* Temporary scratch register */
r12 used as scratch register
3. r3 restore from r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
mov r0, r9
mov r1, r10
mov r2, r11
mov r3, r12
I can try to save it in other registers, but can not guarantee that the
register will not be damaged. Is there any better way to deal with this
problem?
Thanks.
