Hi Alexei, Manish, I repeated the test (below) a few times and see the same result. (1) Do I need to copy my BL33 (non-secure) image from flash.bin some how to RAM 0x80020000 entry point address ? Is there any example of how to copy the flash.bin image ? I not sure what address or where to copy it from. (2) Is there some existing debug code that I can use to dump/print the ARMv8 RAM address space from inside BL31.bin ? I only found some TF-A tf_log macros in debug.h. I would like to dump some memory address contents (like 0x80020000) from inside bl31.bin to console just for debugging at run-time. > On Oct 22, 2020, at 4:28 PM, rkohli2000 gmail via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: > > Hi Alexei, > > I captured the LOG_LEVEL=50 log (attached putty-ser0.log <https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3hngmljksxl3a/putty-ser0.log?dl=0>) from TF-A bl31.bin. > I see bl31 boots normally but never hands off to the BL33 normal world image (App.bin) > > The flash.bin image I am running is constructed using imx-mkimage <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/tree/README?h=imx_4.…> tool with the following target: >> flash_test_7: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin App.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb > >> ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c -flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -p3 -ap App.bin a53 0x80020000 -data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin > > > I used UUU tool to flash eMMC with flash.bin on the imx8QM MEK board. > > I inspected RAM using a trace32 debugger SW after using a while (1) to halt the execution at the end of bl31.bin main function (bl31_main()). >> diff --git a/bl31/bl31_main.c b/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> index 92a2027dd..51afb13ea 100644 > >> --- a/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> > >> +++ b/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> @@ -147,6 +147,11 @@ void bl31_main(void) > >> * from BL31 > >> */ > >> bl31_plat_runtime_setup(); > >> + > >> + INFO("BL31: leaving bl31_main\n"); > >> + INFO("entering while(1)\n"); > >> + > >> + while (1) {}; > >> } > > It appears that there's no data or image at 0x80020000 just before exiting bl31_main().

Fwd: BL31 as bootloader

by rkohli2000 gmail

Hi Alexei, I captured the LOG_LEVEL=50 log (attached putty-ser0.log <https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3hngmljksxl3a/putty-ser0.log?dl=0>) from TF-A bl31.bin. I see bl31 boots normally but never hands off to the BL33 normal world image (App.bin) The flash.bin image I am running is constructed using imx-mkimage <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/tree/README?h=imx_4.…> tool with the following target: > flash_test_7: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin App.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb > ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c -flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -p3 -ap App.bin a53 0x80020000 -data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin I used UUU tool to flash eMMC with flash.bin on the imx8QM MEK board.

Hi Ravi, Can you please confirm if control reached "test image" ? I guess, yes, as PC has right value. Also, does your "test image" depends on device tree for console initialization? One thing i see missing in "plat/imx/imx8qm/imx8qm_bl31_setup.c +352" is bl33 header initialization SET_PARAM_HEAD(&bl33_image_ep_info, PARAM_EP, VERSION_1, 0); thanks Manish ________________________________ From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of rkohli2000 gmail via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 21 October 2020 00:10 To: Ravi Kohli <rkohli2000(a)gmail.com> Cc: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader Hi Alexei, I built my TF-A (imx-atf) b31.bin image using the RESET_TO_BL31 build option for the i.MX8QM MEK dev kit. make DEBUG=1 RESET_TO_BL31=1 PLAT=imx8qm bl31 I used the imx-mkimage tool to generate a flash.bin (flash bootable image) with the following target to run on the MEK: flash_cortex_a53: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin MyA53Serial.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -c -p3 -ap MyA53Serial.bin a53 0x80020000 -p4 --data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin Here, I allocated bl31.bin to boot from 0x80000000 and a test image at BL33 (normal world) entry point 0x80020000 (both for Cortex-A53).

Hi Alexei, I built my TF-A (imx-atf) b31.bin image using the RESET_TO_BL31 build option for the i.MX8QM MEK dev kit. make DEBUG=1 RESET_TO_BL31=1 PLAT=imx8qm bl31 I used the imx-mkimage tool to generate a flash.bin (flash bootable image) with the following target to run on the MEK: flash_cortex_a53: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin MyA53Serial.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -c -p3 -ap MyA53Serial.bin a53 0x80020000 -p4 --data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin Here, I allocated bl31.bin to boot from 0x80000000 and a test image at BL33 (normal world) entry point 0x80020000 (both for Cortex-A53).

commit 75fab6496e5fce9a11 ("libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes") causing BL31 boot failure on Renesas RZ/G2 platforms.

by Biju Das

Hi All, I am porting Renesas RZ/G2M[1] platform to TF-A Master branch(commitid: eeb77da646844) . Initially faced a compilation error [2] which is fixed by using "#define" instead of "static const uint64_t". Then on target, found that BL31 is failed to boot[3], which is fixed by reverting the commit 75fab6496e5fce9a11 ("libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes"), see the logs [3].

Re: [TF-A] commit 75fab6496e5fce9a11 ("libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes") causing BL31 boot failure on Renesas RZ/G2 platforms.

by Ash Wilding

Hi Biju, Andre, > sctlr_el3 = 0x0000000030c5183a The MMU is still disabled since we're so early in BL31, so nothing preventing us from making an actual access to physical address 0x0. As Andre already noted: > x30 = 0x0000000000000000 > elr_el3 = 0x0000000000000000 > far_el3 = 0x0000000000000000 It looks like we do have an errant null pointer dereference here. If I had to guess, the I-side successfully fetches a 32-bit word from physical address 0x0, but then fails to decode that bit pattern as a valid opcode. This is reported as "unknown reason", like you're seeing: <quote Arm ARM DDI 0487E.a pp D13-2963> This EC code is used for all exceptions that are not covered by any other EC value. This includes exceptions that are generated in the following situations: - ... - Instruction encodings that are unallocated. - ... </quote> Hope that helps, Ash.

Questions raised about Measured Boot + fTPM test case

by Javier Almansa Sobrino

Hello all, Following up the question raised yesterday during the TF-A Tech Forum with regards to any modification needed on the Linux Kernel to run the test case that I was presenting (Measured Boot + fTPM service), I double checked today and I ran some tests on system and I can confirm that the test case works with the mainline Linux Kernel, with no modification other than enabling the driver on the DTB. The modules involved on the interaction with the fTPM (for this particular example) are: * optee.ko: Allows communication between the REE (unsecure world), the Trusted OS (secure world) and the tee-supplicant (unsecure world). * tpm_ftpm_tee.ko: Module to communicate with a firmware TPM through a char device. This also includes the reference implementation used on the test case. In order to use the fTPM service, the test case makes use of IBM's TPM 2.0 TSS, a user space TSS for TPM 2.0 that uses services provided by the fTPM. I would also like to highlight the following points: A) The test case is only meant to test the ability of the Measured Boot Driver and a TPM 2.0 compliant device to interact with each other. As such, we are not providing an fTPM meant to be used on a production environment. Instead, we are using an existing reference implementation to which we added support for Measured Boot to fulfil our needs for the test and use it as a functional example. The implementation details on how to interact with a particular TPM device (either firmware or discrete) can differ from the ones used on the test case as those details can be platform dependent. For example, we use an OPTEE TA fTPM on this example, but other platforms might use a discrete TPM or an fTPM running on a different Trusted OS. B) As stated on the presentation, we are undergoing internal review of the contributions done for the fTPM service to make it compatible with Measured Boot. Once the review is completed and the changes merged into the TPM repo mainline, we will update the TF-A documentation with instructions on how to download and build all the components to run the tests manually. Please, let me know in case you have any more questions. Best regards, Javier

Hi Biju, As you work with Renesas platforms, have you also seen "Renesas rcar-gen3: cert_header_sa6 Compilation Issue" which I reported on the mailing list on 10/12/2018 and is still not fixed? tools\renesas\rcar_layout_create\sa6.c has #include <stdint.h> which causes compilation error on Yocto 3.13: | aarch64-poky-linux-gcc -DRCAR_SA0_SIZE=1 -DRCAR_SA6_TYPE=0 -I../../include/lib/stdlib -D=AARCH64 -c -o sa6.o sa6.c | In file included from sa6.c:7:0: | /home/alexei/Work/Yocto_3.13_20181205/build/tmp/work/h3ulcb-poky-linux/arm-tf/2.0+gitAUTOINC+19b56cf4a2_556d7d9e3b-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/aarch64-poky-linux/gcc/aarch64-poky-linux/7.3.0/include/stdint.h:9:16: fatal error: stdint.h: No such file or directory | # include_next <stdint.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~ | compilation terminated. | <builtin>: recipe for target 'sa6.o' failed | make[1]: *** [sa6.o] Error 1 | plat/renesas/rcar/platform.mk:403: recipe for target 'rcar_layout_tool' failed | make: *** [rcar_layout_tool] Error 2 | ERROR: oe_runmake failed There's no compilation error with gcc-arm-8.2-2018.08-i686-mingw32-aarch64-elf tool chain, because compiler searches for <stdint.h> in \gcc-arm-8.2-2018.08-i686-mingw32-aarch64-elf\lib\gcc\aarch64-elf\8.2.1\include finding "stdint.h" with # include_next <stdint.h> and then getting "stdint.h" from gcc-arm-8.2-2018.08-i686-mingw32-aarch64-elf\aarch64-elf\include folder. Trusted Firmware-A Porting Guide reads that "To avoid subtle toolchain behavioral dependencies, the header files provided by the compiler are not used. The software is built with the ``-nostdinc`` flag to ensure no headers are included from the toolchain inadvertently. ", tools\renesas\rcar_layout_create\makefile has flags defined as: CFLAGS += ${DEFINES} CFLAGS += -I../../include/lib/stdlib and adding "-nostdinc" flag will make gcc-arm-8.2-2018.08-i686-mingw32-aarch64-elf compilation fail because ../../include/lib/stdlib is a wrong path (taken from Renesas ARM-TF version 1.5 "tools\dummy_create\makefile") to include\lib\libc\stdint.h for version ARM-TF version 2.0. This issue can be fixed by changing CFLAGS to CFLAGS += -nostdinc \ -I../../../include/lib/libc \ -I../../../include/lib/libc/aarch64 Regards.

Looks like this issue is related to toolchain, I was using aarch64-linux-gcc-7 on U-buntu 18.04 Host toolchain. The compilation is error is fixed by the below changes. #define BL31_RO_BASE BL_CODE_BASE #define BL31_RO_LIMIT BL_CODE_END #define BL31_COHERENT_RAM_BASE BL_COHERENT_RAM_BASE #define BL31_COHERENT_RAM_LIMIT BL_COHERENT_RAM_END The warning fix should not lead to compilation error with the old toolchains.

Forthcoming Trusted Firmware-A 2.4 release

by Manish Badarkhe

Hi, This is to notify that we are planning to target the Trusted Firmware-A 2.4 release during the second week of November 2020 as part of the regular 6 month cadence. The aim is to consolidate all TF-A work since the 2.3 release. As part of this, a release candidate tag will be created and release activities will commence from Friday 30th Oct 2020 (code freeze date). Essentially we will not merge any major enhancements from this date until the release is made. Please ensure any Pull Requests (PR’s) desired to make the 2.4 release are submitted in good time, to be completed by Tuesday 27th Oct 2020. Any major enhancement PR’s still open after that date will not be merged until after the release Please note, there is no guarantee that all patches under review will be merged before the code freeze date. Any patches that don’t make the code freeze date will complete their review and merge post the release date. Thanks Manish Badarkhe

RAS error interrupts do not provide reliability. They report unreliable operation. Routing RAS interrupts to EL3 is an implementation choice called Firmware First Handling (FFH). Indeed, the interrupts could be routed to a lower EL which is called Kernel first handling (KFH). For e.g. an implementation could decide to handle corrected errors Kernel first. Uncorrected errors could be routed to a platform controller instead of firmware or be routed to both. There is no single solution. With FFH, the main requirement is that an uncorrected error must be handled even if the Normal world is not in a position to do so. There are non-technical requirements too but lets not go there. So I don’t think there is a requirement that "no lower EL" should be able to mask the interrupt. EL3/S-EL1 and EL3/S-EL2 are at the same privilege level as far as access to the physical address space is concerned. G0 interrupts could be routed to EL3 but they can be disabled by S-EL1 or S-EL2 by programming the GIC distributor. The main point being that software in all privileged exception levels in the Secure world must be trusted to handle RAS errors in the Normal world. Routing G0 interrupts to EL3 is not a silver bullet. When support for FFH was added to TF-A, there was no use case to put software in S-EL1. This EL is owned by TF-A which deploys a simple shim layer. The EHF was developed with this assumption in mind. If your requirement is to put a Trusted OS in S-EL1 and continue doing RAS error handling, then the requirements of the Trusted OS w.r.t the interrupt routing model must be factored in. Hence, the question about what exactly are your requirements. I can understand the desire to reuse EHF but it cannot come at the cost of not meeting the TOS requirements. It needs a SW architecture discussion first. It might be possible to preempt S-EL1 and route RAS errors to EL3 in some cases. A cooperative model (2) between S-EL1 and EL3 (as Olivier described) is what most Trusted OSs implement today. It would be good to understand why that would not work for RAS. > >> >> In order to better help you, we would need more information on the scenario you intend to achieve, and the environment (Arm architecture version and extensions, GIC version). >> Or maybe your question was out of curiosity for the longer term approach (2) as described below? > > As per sbsa level III spec: sbsa non secure watchdog WS1 (reset) must > be targeted at EL3.

It was reasonable to assume that Secure firmware almost entirely resides in EL3. Hence the guidance. We will look at rewording this in a future release. The intent is that since it is a Non-secure Watchdog, the WS1 signal must not be masked by the Normal world. The BSA applies to all segments. It leaves routing of WS1 implementation defined as long as the Normal world cannot mask it. It could be routed to S-EL1 or S-EL2 if that fulfils the requirement. > Another misc application of our platform is to be able to forcefully > turn off/ halt/ just ping any core at any execution context (S/NS). > These motivated me to leverage EHF.

The SPMD is indeed meant to replace TOS specific SPDs. It is meant to cater for the RAS use case as well. From an FF-A perspective, a cooperative approach is simpler. I would like to understand why this would not work for RAS error interrupts as well.

It would certainly be desirable to reuse the EHF. However, it is not possible to delegate the heavy lifting to preempted software in S-EL1 or S-EL2 without significantly increasing their complexity.

RAS interrupts will have blackout periods even if a SMC is handled entirely in EL3. How is routing them to S-EL1 or S-EL2 any different? Afaiu, the RAS architecture spec does not lay down any time limits on by when an error must be reported. All RAS errors are not critical errors. Even critical errors e.g. uncontainable errors report something that has already happened. With unrecoverable errors, ESBs ensure that the problem is contained to a particular EL or Security state. Could you elaborate on what timing requirements you have and why a cooperative model would cause problems? > Whereas with the other routing model scheme the reliability of EHF > handlers can be retained with the constraint of PMR ranges. There may > be something > I am missing. I don’t think “reliability” is an argument here. It is about reusing the EHF in EL3. It is not off the table but we cannot overlook other evolutions in the software and hardware architecture since the EHF was written. Let me know what you think.

TF-A image construction

by rkohli2000 gmail

Hi, Sorry for the wide distribution and if this isn't the appropriate board. I'm interested in TF-A image construction for the i.MX8QM SoC platform and basic image construction instructions. I'd like to understand how to deploy a user application for the Cortex-A53 core and flash image construction. For example, how to deploy BL31.bin and launch a user app for the platform and what does the following TF-A console log imply for user apps: INFO: Entry point address = 0x80020000 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9 Any intro info is appreciated. Thanks again. Regards Ravi

Re: [TF-A] Query SPD/SPMD behavior with EHF

by Olivier Deprez

Hi Sandeep, Here are a few more details. The reasoning differs when considering pre-Armv8.4 platforms (1) vs Armv8.4 platforms onwards with secure virtualization enabled (2). Case (1): EHF framework unifies EL3 exceptions delivered via different vectors and allows them to be handled in a common way. It is also allowing exception delegation handling to lower secure ELs. This framework although primarily used for RAS, is also used for SDEI and platform EL3 interrupts. EL3's role in this case is about trapping and routing the event to appropriate the component (when the interrupt/exception is not handled solely at EL3). The interoperability between EHF and a Trusted OS is not accurately defined apart from this guidance in EHF documentation: "In order for S-EL1 software to handle Non-secure interrupts while having EHF enabled, the dispatcher must adopt a model where Non-secure interrupts are received at EL3, but are then synchronously handled over to S-EL1." Until then for the specific RAS handling scenario, this was delegated to a StandaloneMM partition running at S-EL0 (through the SPM-MM implementation) and not necessarily delegated to a TOS. In order to better help you, we would need more information on the scenario you intend to achieve, and the environment (Arm architecture version and extensions, GIC version). Or maybe your question was out of curiosity for the longer term approach (2) as described below? Case (2): As a general rule, it is preferred that EL3 reduces its footprint and minimises platform specific handling code. EHF framework would most probably not be enabled at all. The priority logic provided by the GIC PMR register to mask NS interrupts cannot really work as before because all of trusted EL3/S-EL2 and untrusted S-EL1 SPs can manipulate this register. Any secure/non-secure interrupt triggered while running SEL1/SEL0 is trapped first by the S-EL2 firmware (or the so-called SPMC). This translates into SCR_EL3.FIQ/IRQ=0 in the secure world. Group1NS interrupts are redirected to SPMD for routing to NWd. A Group0 interrupt is possibly redirected to a platform driver into an S-EL1 secure partition (e.g. a RAS handling service). Hence it does no longer hold true that Group0 interrupts are necessarily qualified as "EL3 interrupts". It is still possible to redirect Group0 interrupts from S-EL2 to EL3 and be handled there, but as said, this is a less preferred approach. Either way when NWd runs (with SCR_EL3.FIQ=1/IRQ=0), a Group1S/Group0 secure interrupt is trapped at EL3 and routed to SPMD then SPMC. The SPMC can take the decision to resume the secure partition which registered the corresponding secure INTID. This design does mean that SDEI interrupt handling would need SPMC and BL31 collaboration and this is something we are working on. Hope this helps.

STM32MP1: Adding TF-A causes kernel errors

by Jan Kiszka

Hi Yann, not sure if TF-A is the one to blame, but it's the variable that triggers the following on the STM32MP15x eval board for me. I think I'm following tfa/docs/plat/stm32mp1.rst and u-boot/doc/board/st/stm32mp1.rst correctly.

a80x0_mcbin doesn't build with recommended mv-ddr-marvell

by Jan Kiszka

Hi all, docs/plat/marvell/armada/build.rst says that you should use branch mv_ddr-armada-atf-mainline from [1]. But that no longer works with tf-a master. The mv-ddr-devel branch builds fine (didn't run the result, though). make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=a80x0_mcbin \ USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 MV_DDR_PATH=.../mv-ddr-marvell/ \ SCP_BL2=.../mrvl_scp_bl2.img Are there plans to update the tf-a doc or rather refresh that branch?

Nailgun

by Varun Wadekar

Hi, Recently, I learned about Nailgun [1] - leak information by snooping across privilege boundaries with the help of CoreSight. The proof of concept uses Raspberry Pi3 (uses Cortex A-53 CPUs) platform to demonstrate the exploit. Has anyone reviewed this attack and does it affect other Arm v8 CPUs too? Do we have support in TF-A to disable CoreSight to mitigate against such attacks? Are there any other mitigations against this attack? -Varun [1] https://github.com/ningzhenyu/nailgun

Re: [TF-A] Query SPD/SPMD behavior with EHF

by Olivier Deprez

Hi Sandeep, Your question is very valid and we're discussing options internally. We will come back to you with a consolidated answer shortly. Regards, Olivier. ________________________________________ From: Sandeep Tripathy Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 05:28 To: Soby Mathew Cc: Dan Handley; tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org; nd; Olivier Deprez Subject: Re: [TF-A] Query SPD/SPMD behavior with EHF Thanks Soby and Dan for confirmation on TSPD. I can see a few more gaps in the related area. "The EL3 interrupts (G0 interrupts) should be able to pre-empt Fast SMC i.e. any execution context for that matter ". This should apply to all SPDs including SPMD. However I learned from @Oliver that SPMD/SPMC design traps FIQs to S_EL2. In that case a RAS interrupt can be masked by S_EL2 software (eg: Hafnium). Probably by design it will be ensured that S_EL2 will never mask the physical FIQ ? S_EL2 FIQ handler will exit to EL3/SPMD by SMC call. And depending on the pending interrupt type either it can exit to NWd OR invoke el3 fiq vector handler synchronously ? Are there limitations if we trap fiq to EL3 instead ?

When to implement plat_sdei_validate_entry_point?

by Jan Kiszka

Hi, I'm adding basic SDEI support to the zynqmp platform (just private event 0 for now), and I'm wondering what to do with plat_sdei_validate_entry_point(). Looking around what other SDEI implementations did, neither tegra nor the recently added imx8mm implement this and rather rely on the empty stub from plat/common/aarch64/plat_common.c. As zynqmp also pulls in plat/arm/common/arm_common.c and doesn't find any arm_validate_ns_entrypoint, my search started. Is there anything that makes the check for tegra and imx8mm unneeded? Or are they both broken and should better use plat_sdei_validate_entry_point from plat/arm/common/arm_common.c? Thanks, Jan

Re: [TF-A] TF-A warm reboot question

by Soby Mathew

Hi Maxim, There could be some terminology mixup that needs to be clarified. These are the typical words related to boot in TF-A: 1. cold boot : This is the first boot after a power cycle. Typically a single CPU is powered up and executed the entire boot flow upto linux 2. Warm boot: The Cold boot has completed and transitioned into Linux kernel and then the kernel invokes PSCI_CPU_ON to power up the secondary CPUs. This is the CPU `hotplug` operation from linux side. The figure you referred to mentions these boot scenarios. Now reboot is system reset + cold boot. Ideally if QEMU has to support reboot, it needs to be able to reset the system (CPUs and peripherals) from software. The flow you suggest for QEMU could work but if the CPU and the peripherals are not reset properly, you could encounter errors later on because software could assume reset values for some registers and hence may not initialize it. Also there are registers that are 1 time write and cannot be written to again without proper reset cycle, and these could problems during execution.

Re: [TF-A] TF-A warm reboot question

by Maxim Uvarov

sorry, wrong email thread. Another way around is to not support "hot reset" in ATF, but make qemu reboot is implement some watchdog for qemu virt platform. That also works for me with quick implementation with lhe link which I sent in the previous email. Maxim.

TF-A warm reboot question

by Maxim Uvarov

Hello, I'm trying to understand why "warm reboot" is not currently implemented in TF-A for qemu targets. I.e. in case of qemu armv8 boot atf->optee->uboot->linux and then reboot, cpu jumps to BL31 qemu_system_reset() function which just calls panic(). I'm wondering why loading images from this stage is not happening? Something similar to bl2_load_images()->load_image() to load uboot and optee os again and run them with bl31_main()? If I understand "CPU reset" spec [1] correctly, warm boot from reset vector in BL31 again to Non-Secure world has to work. [1] https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/desig… Best regards, Maxim.

Re: [TF-A] Query TSPD behavior with EHF

Hi Sandeep > Except during yielding SMC ‘disable_intr_rm_local(INTR_TYPE_NS, SECUE);’ is in effect. Intention is to avoid NS interrupt preempt secure execution (Fast SMC). > But I think that will also disable G0 interrupt as both NS interrupt and G0 interrupt are on FIQ. > EHF already ensures this by GIC PMR adjustment.

The EL3 interrupts (G0 interrupts) should be able to pre-empt Fast SMC. Hence the usage of GIC PMR to mask the NS interrupts. As Dan says, the TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT predates the EHF design and it seems there is a problem as you describe. > EHF already ensures this by GIC PMR adjustment. So disabling routing model seems unnecessary in this case. > This is my understanding from the code please confirm if this is correct. You are right. Routing model manipulation is not required when EL3 interrupts are present as GIC PMR manipulation should take care of the required behaviour for yielding vs atomic SMC. You also need to ensure it works as expected when EL3 interrupts are not enabled and when EHF is disabled.

Re: [TF-A] Build failure in OpenCI

by Joanna Farley

FYI we are trying to get the OpenCI to use a different label (Validation-Bot-Review) which is not part our of day to day workflow for patch approvals but standard plugins being used don't seem to support non standard labels so they are working on an alternative approach. Hopefully it will be fixed soon so we don't have to manually remove the OpenCI bot setting on the CR label.

Re: [TF-A] Query TSPD behavior with EHF

Hi Dan, I am not sure if this is mentioned anywhere in any documents but I think EHF handlers should be able to preempt all execution contexts at lower ELs and lower ELs should never be able to mask such interrupts. If the behavioral expectation is set the implementation can be fixed.

Query TSPD behavior with EHF

by Sandeep Tripathy

Hi, EHF activates the routing model for ‘INTR_TYPE_EL3’ CSS = 0 , TEL3 = 1 ie FIQ trapped to EL3 and not visible and not mask-able to lower ELs. Which means G0 interrupts (all EHF interrupts) expected to preempt any execution context. And secure state cannot mask such interrupts eg: critical error interrupts. Sort of NMI behavior. However from TSPD code I see ‘TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT’ enforces a slightly different behavior. G0 interrupt cannot preempt a fast smc handler in SPD. Except during yielding SMC ‘disable_intr_rm_local(INTR_TYPE_NS, SECURE);’ is in effect. Intention is to avoid NS interrupt preempt secure execution (Fast SMC). But I think that will also disable G0 interrupt as both NS interrupt and G0 interrupt are on FIQ. This is my understanding from the code please confirm if this is correct. Do we think it is not aligned with G0 interrupt preemption rule. Or do we treat Fast SMC at S_EL1/EL2 as non interruptible. I want to handle something similar in OP-TEED along with EHF depending on what is the expected behavior. Thanks Sandeep

ATF currently does not use proper printf format specifiers for fixed width types

by Scott Branden

Hello, ATF currently uses non-portable printf format specifiers for fixed width types defined in stdint.h In addition, ATF redefines types defined in gcc for stdint.h with its own custom types causing additional issues. This causes compilation issues when porting code to/from ATF. AND, generates coverity parse errors as int64_t and uint64_t are incorrectly defined in ATF vs. gcc for aarch64. The printf format specifiers in inttypes.h are to be used for the proper format specifiers. And, uint64_t/int64_t should be defined the same as in gcc. I tried fixing up all the instances of int64 printf format specifiers by introducing inttypes.h and redefined the stdint types correctly here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5437 We have checked the change into our local tree so that everything compiles and runs in our system. Please accept change upstream. Regards, Scott

(just to make sure: this is just early open thinking to understand what it would mean to build such a service on the Linaro side should there be tf.org LTSes). -Varun > > > -----Original Message----- > From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Matteo > Carlini via TF-A > Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2020 4:25 AM > To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org > Subject: Re: [TF-A] ATF LTS version > > External email: Use caution opening links or attachments > > > Hi Francois, > > > I'd be happy to know more about what you see as TFA LTS: exact scope, > number of versions, duration, operational commitments (zero-day...). > > Do you have other firmware LTS needs? > > Agree.
