Re: Post-boot loading of OP-TEE

by 梅建强(禹夜)

Hi, experts, I have another two other questions about this issue. (1) What should I do if the current optee to load already exists or I want to update optee? The most straightforward way I could think of is to reclaim the memory currently used by optee, then reload the optee image and initialize it. (2) optee may use multiple cores. When and how to process the initialization of multiple cores? Do you have any solutions or ideas? Regards, Yuye. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 发件人：梅建强(禹夜) <meijianqiang.mjq(a)alibaba-inc.com> 发送时间：2023年3月11日(星期六) 21:44 收件人：Jens Wiklander <jens.wiklander(a)linaro.org>; tf-a <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org>; OP-TEE TrustedFirmware <op-tee(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> 抄　送：Dan Handley <Dan.Handley(a)arm.com>; Jeffrey Kardatzke <jkardatzke(a)google.com>; jwerner <jwerner(a)chromium.org>; raghu.ncstate <raghu.ncstate(a)icloud.com>; Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas(a)linaro.org> 主　题：Re: Post-boot loading of OP-TEE Hi, experts, If I want to apply the code to the S-EL2 framework (Hafnium as SPMC), What special processing should be added to spmd_handle_smc_load function or other function, such as context restore and save?

This has previously been discussed in this mail thread [2] about half a year ago. Ultimately, it was concluded that this should in principle be accepted upstream as a platform choice to allow this or not. There are concerns that what we have in upstream TF-A should serve as good examples, and trusting the normal world to verify secure world software might not meet that criterion. There are also concerns about adding signature verification to BL31 Leaving the secure world wide open until the Linux kernel has been able to successfully load and verify an OP-TEE binary seems very risky. Even if it's claimed that the normal world can be trusted at this point, we're still giving up a critical level of defense without a good reason. I've started to review [1], but it should not be accepted for merging without support and approval from other maintainers. I would like to explore other options in this mail thread. In [2] it was suggested that a remnant of bl2 could be kept to verify OP-TEE before starting to execute it. This could be taken one step further and load a limited OP-TEE at boot which later is updated live, almost like what's discussed in [3]. This should minimize the impact on TF-A and also leave OP-TEE in charge of accepting an update instead of a divided responsibility between the normal world and TF-A.

Errata framework proposal

by Boyan Karatotev

Hi all, As presented on this week's tech forum, I have recently been working on a framework to improve errata implementations, consolidate the disparate requirements around them, and make errata information available at runtime. This is related, but separate to the errata ABI which is being worked on by Sona. Patches are available for review [1] and feedback is welcome. This email is to host discussion around the proposal, especially things that came up during the tech forum. The team would like to merge this sometime in April, but the sooner it is accepted, the sooner we can start (and complete!) the migration.

About kdump hang issue in SDEI dispatch

by Ming Huang

Hi James & TF-A guys, When hest acpi table configure Hardware Error Notification type as Software Delegated Exception(0x0B) for RAS event, kernel RAS interacts with TF-A by SDEI mechanism. On the firmware first system, kernel was notified by TF-A sdei call. The calling flow like as below when fatal RAS error happens: TF-A notify kernel flow: sdei_dispatch_event() ehf_activate_priority() call sdei callback // callback registered by kerenl ehf_deactivate_priority() Kernel sdei callback: sdei_asm_handler() __sdei_handler() _sdei_handler() sdei_event_handler() ghes_sdei_critical_callback() ghes_in_nmi_queue_one_entry() /* if RAS error is fatal */ __ghes_panic() panic() If fatal RAS error occured, panic was called in sdei_asm_handle() without ehf_deactivate_priority executed, which lead interrupt masked. If interrupt masked, system would be halted in kdump flow like this: arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.3.auto: allocated 65536 entries for cmdq arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.3.auto: allocated 32768 entries for evtq arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.3.auto: allocated 65536 entries for priq arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.3.auto: SMMU currently enabled! Resetting... So interrupt should be restored before panic otherwise kdump will hang. In the process of sdei, a SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE(or SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE_AND_RESUME) call should be called before panic for a completed run of ehf_deactivate_priority(). The ehf_deactivate_priority() function restore pmr_el1 to original value(>0x80). The SDEI dispatch flow was broken if SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE was not be called. This will bring about two issue: 1 Kdump will hang for firmware reporting fatal RAS event by SDEI; (as explain above) 2 For NMI scene，TF-A enable a secure timer, the PPI 29 will trigger periodically. Kernel register a callback for hard lockup. The below code will not be called when panic in kernel callback: TF-A, services/std_svc/sdei/sdei_intr_mgmt.c sdei_intr_handler(): /* * We reach here when client completes the event. * * If the cause of dispatch originally interrupted the Secure world, * resume Secure. * * No need to save the Non-secure context ahead of a world switch: the * Non-secure context was fully saved before dispatch, and has been * returned to its pre-dispatch state. */ if (sec_state == SECURE) restore_and_resume_secure_context(); /* * The event was dispatched after receiving SDEI interrupt. With * the event handling completed, EOI the corresponding * interrupt. */ if ((map->ev_num != SDEI_EVENT_0) && !is_map_bound(map)) { ERROR("Invalid SDEI mapping: ev=%u\n", map->ev_num); panic(); } plat_ic_end_of_interrupt(intr_raw); How to fix above issues? I think the root cause is that kernel broken the SDEI dispatch flow, so kernel should modify to fix these issues. Thanks, Ming
