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

Re: [TF-A] SP manifest: avoid manual updates to "entrypoint-offset"

by raghu.ncstate＠icloud.com

>> Our initial ask was to only bump the SP image entrypoint past the DTB boundary while generating SP.pkg using sptool. IIUC, the issue you brought up is for passing the manifest base address to the SP at runtime. I think these two are independent issues. Please advise. [RK] Agree here. Passing information through the manifest to the SP is orthogonal to the main problem at hand where we are assuming that the size of manifest cannot be > 4K and the entrypoint offset is always at 0x100. -Raghu -----Original Message----- From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Varun Wadekar via TF-A Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2021 7:35 AM To: Olivier Deprez <Olivier.Deprez(a)arm.com>; tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: Raghupathy Krishnamurthy <raghupathyk(a)nvidia.com>; Nicolas Benech <nbenech(a)nvidia.com> Subject: Re: [TF-A] SP manifest: avoid manual updates to "entrypoint-offset" Hi Olivier, >> [OD] The two questions are which entity is loading boot data (can be a DT blob) that is to be consumed by the SP? And how is the address for boot data conveyed to the SP? The SP manifest is made for the SPMC consumption. I guess it's ok to conflate DT information required by the SP into the SP manifest. It means the bootloader loads both the SP manifest and the SP boot data in a single "SP package". In current implementation the SP has no standard way to know where the DT blob is loaded in its own memory range. We have experimental patches around the FF-A boot protocol which may help. [VW] You are right - bootloader loads SP.pkg (header+manifest+image) into memory. Can you please help me understand what "SP boot data" contains? For passing the SP manifest pointer to the SP we should ask for ideas from the community. Some ideas to get the discussion started: 1. SPMC creates a mapping for the manifest in the SP's virtual address space. SP issues a SVC call to get the virtual address from the SPMC 2. 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. SPMC reads this entry and maps the manifest at that virtual address during boot. >> [OD] If the assumptions (implementation defined) are that the SP boot data fits into the SP manifest, and that the SP finds this data at a fixed address (e.g. offset 0 in the SP package) then yes it can be a way to go. [VW] Our initial ask was to only bump the SP image entrypoint past the DTB boundary while generating SP.pkg using sptool. IIUC, the issue you brought up is for passing the manifest base address to the SP at runtime. I think these two are independent issues.

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. But in our experimental setup we plan to work on some assumptions e.g. assume the manifest blob to always be present at a certain address. [OD] The two questions are which entity is loading boot data (can be a DT blob) that is to be consumed by the SP? And how is the address for boot data conveyed to the SP? The SP manifest is made for the SPMC consumption. I guess it's ok to conflate DT information required by the SP into the SP manifest. It means the bootloader loads both the SP manifest and the SP boot data in a single "SP package". In current implementation the SP has no standard way to know where the DT blob is loaded in its own memory range. We have experimental patches around the FF-A boot protocol which may help. >> [OD] I think review link is mysteriously broken and the review lost. But Joao can provide the new link if necessary.

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.
