Impact of the tf.org projects' maintenance process on TF-A

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello all, As the trustedfirmware.org project maintenance process [1] is now live, it would be good if we start adopting it in our development flow for TF-A. I would like to highlight the main changes that will have an impact on our day-to-day work on the project. 1. Patch submitters to explicit choose their reviewers ------------------------------------------------------ All patches should now have dedicated reviewers. The patch submitter is responsible for adding them in the reviewers field of their Gerrit review. Each patch should have 2 types of reviewers: - Code owners. - Maintainers. There needs to be 1 code owner per module modified by the patch as well as 1 maintainer. The maintainers and code owners are listed here: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/maintainers.html Ideally, we would have at least 2 code owners per module so that they can review each other's patches. Unfortunately we're not there yet (especially for platform ports) so we need a work around for patches submitted by the sole code owner of a module itself. In this scenario, I would like to suggest we leave it to the patch submitter to decide on a case by case basis whether they want to nominate someone to do the detailed technical review or skip it entirely. In any case, a maintainer will still need to review and approve the patch. If this proves not to be working well over time (either because it creates unnecessary review bottlenecks or lowers the code quality too much), we can revisit that in the future. If you've got patches in review right now, may I please request you to add reviewers accordingly? The sooner we start adopting this process the better, as it will allow us to see how this works in practice and come up with adjustments if need be. 2. Reviewers to provide feedback in a timely manner --------------------------------------------------- If someone asks you to do a review, please try to do it in a timely manner. There is no timeline guidelines set just yet for TF-A but I think a good rule of thumb would be to aim to provide feedback in a week's time. This does not mean that the review has to be completed in a week (complex patches might need a lot of discussion and/or rounds of review & rework), just that there's some progress and activity at least once per week. If for some reason, you know you won't be able to honour a review request, please say so on Gerrit ASAP so that the patch submitter can choose another reviewer. 3. What's next? --------------- In the coming weeks or months, we'd like to: - Extend the list of code owners. - Extend the list of maintainers. - Come up with TF-A specific contribution guidelines that complement the tf.org process [1]. We already have some here [2] but would like to expand them and possibly revisit some of them. Obviously, this will be a community effort, much like the tf.org process was, and all TF-A contributors will have a say in defining this so that we end up with something that works for everyone (as much as possible). Best regards, Sandrine [1] https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… [2] https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/process/contributing.html

Re: [TF-A] Proposal for Measured Boot Implementation

by Vivek Prasad

Hello Stuart, Alexei, Chiming-in here on Ampere's behalf... We analysed this proposal internally. And we see a number issues with this, some of which was already raised by Raghu in the previous threads. Here is a summary of the main issues that we see. * Only supporting mbedtls, and this is fixed config at compile time. * We propose that there should be a variable for the algorithm to be used, which can be setup at initialization time. * This solution relies on taking the hash directly from the digest as the measurement, instead of the computed hash. This is not safe, especially considering measured boot may use a different hash bank, so digest hash may not be correct/valid. * Only measuring the BL2 image, per the ARM SBSG we must be measuring and logging *all* images/boot phases * BL31 * BL32 (all secure partitions) * BL33 (UEFI or any other non-secure boot loader) * Once we ERET into BL33, the measure boot flow continues and is owned by that boot loader * Only see support for PCR0, any/all unsigned config data must be logged to PCR1. * Passing PCRs to non-secure software before logging is not compliant with TCG Static-Root-of-Trust Measurement (SRTM) requirements * It was discussed before in separate conversations… especially in systems where you are talked about two different signing domains where BL33 is a different trust/signing domain. * BL33 should only do hash-log-extend… there is no need for BL33 to be aware of the current PCR value (beyond what is provided in the boot event log). * Based on comments on the mail thread, there seem to be bad assumptions/expectations around TPM accessibility from non-secure world. * Expecting SPI/I2C TPMs to be directly accessed from non-secure world instead of abstracting hardware details via the TCG CRB interface (which has been already standardized as the defacto mechanism for ARM on past mobile, client, and server solutions). * CRB will "just work" for Aptio/EDK2/Linux/Windows/Hyper-V/VMWare * NOTE: This goes back to what is a “productizable” TPM solution. We want it to be turn-key solution for customers without having to support/develop proprietary drivers. -Vivek/Harb

Re: [TF-A] Need input on Errata implementation

Hi Raghu I guess this depends on what the errata workaround involves. Since this workaround applies bit setting on an out of context register, it was not expected to affect the EL3 execution performance (or the lower level EL because the bits are restored on return). Also it was thought that the act of searching through the list of compiled CPUs and checking if the workaround is applicable might be more detrimental than the unilateral application of the workaround for this case (assuming no extra barriers are added since the code path it is inserted in have them already later in the sequence). But I agree it is more elegant to have this coupled into CPU_OPS framework. I think Manish has some ideas for this.

Re: [TF-A] Project Maintenance Proposal for tf.org Projects

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, I've received very little feedback on version 2 of the proposal, which hints that we are reaching an agreement. Thus, I plan to finalize the proposal this week. This can then become part of our development flow for all trustedfirmware.org projects. Thanks again for all the inputs! Regards, Sandrine Bailleux
