Is there a problem pushing patches currently, or is there something I've missed? I was able to push a patch on Friday, but today I get errors just trying to push after a rebase with no changes: --- PS C:\Users\thomasto\Projects\tf-m1\trusted-firmware-m> git push ssh://review.trustedfirmware.org:29418/trusted-firmware-m.git HEAD:refs/for/master Enumerating objects: 22731, done.

Re: [TF-M] build error

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi, Can you please run the build with "cmake -build ./ -- install VERBOSE=1". This will show compiler command lines which could help. Based on the fact your assembler is complaining not understanding assembly instructions generated by the C compiler, I suspect your compiler is not supported. For "arm-none-eabi-cc -v" I get the following output: ....... gcc version 6.3.1 20170215 (release) [ARM/embedded-6-branch revision 245512] (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 6-2017-q1-update) (Note I removed some not so interesting lines.) As you can see, the version string includes the release name of "6-2017-q1-update". All gcc binaries built by arm shall have this. Please double check what compiler you are using. The last bullet point in the blue "notes" section here: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… has the link to the download site and also names the releases you can use. /George From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Shawn Shan via TF-M Sent: 04 June 2020 10:21 To: Quach, Brian <brian(a)ti.com>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] build error Hi Brian, I would like to correct my last Email: * CMSIS_5 version should be v5.5.0. * Mbedtls is not required anymore.

Re: [TF-M] TF-M PSA key management

by Soby Mathew

Hi Brian, The struct you have mentioned is part of the implementation defined `psa_key_attributes_t` data structure. The key algorithm and policy are accessed via appropriate get/set API's (like psa_set_key_algorithm/ psa_get_key_algorithm). Hence these fields are not meant to be directly accessed by the clients but are an implementation detail of crypto Service. The only reason the 2 algorithm fields exists now is because the mbedcrypto defined the structure that way. I have a patch in flight which cleans up the client view of the psa_key_attributes_t such that only fields required by client are defined. The patch is available for review here : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/4217 Regarding psa_open_key() and psa_close_key(), TF-M tries to implement PSA Crypto 1.0 Beta 3 version of the spec whereas the APIs are removed in 1.0 version. Currently mbedcrypto does not support 1.0 version fully yet. Once 1.0 is supported mbedcrypto, then TF-M will also make the migrate the APIs to 1.0. This is expected to happen during Q3 timeframe.

Re: [TF-M] Changes required to enable Zephyr integration as External_Project

Hi, There was a plan to include the new build system into TFM v1.1 but looking onto change size and interdependencies with other ongoing changes like code restructuring, the delivery of new CMake in TFM v1.1 is optional.

Re: [TF-M] DSP instructions and FPU use

by Joseph Yiu

Hi Ken, Soby, In additional to FPCCR_S.TS, You should also set FPCCR_S.CLRONRET and FPCCR_S.CLRONRETS. FPCCR_S.CLRONRET ensures that FPU register contents are cleared when return from a Secure exception to the Non-secure world, and FPCCR_S.CLRONRETS ensures that the Non-secure world cannot change the FPCCR_S.CLRONRET setting.

Eventhough the hardware is performing the stacking, the policy chosen (lazy stacking/stack always) affects interrupt latency which should be considered for the design for FPU usage in TF-M.

While booting we clear FPCA since we are not using FP under handler mode, we don't want FP get involved during initialization and need extra clean up job. But if a thread uses FP the FPCA is set to 1 automatically, and if exceptions are happening the FP context stacked automatically by hardware - the secure scheduler just keep the EXC_RETURN which contains FP context and finally recover it back. Which means if you enabled hardware FP unintentional it can work, the only place a problem may occur should be the non-secure preempting secure execution case. I think the only thing we are missing now is we did not set FPCCR_S.TS = 1 since we did not realize that user would enable FP in secure world. This would cause the FP register may contain secure information while Non-secure preempting secure execution. Need to go through the settings and double-check. So at least before we finish the estimation I think FPCCR_S.TS should be set to ensure the security. Andrej, have you set this bit while you are using hardware FP?

The easiest way would be to enable FP context stacking for every context switch but it would impact every context switch irrespective of whether FP unit is used in that context or not . I guess this is the approach taken by Andrej ? . The Lazy Floating point state preservation would be better for performance but it would have additional complexity in managing the contexts. Just blue sky thinking here: There could be a middle ground wherein some partitions are allowed to use FP while others are not because they don't really need to. The ones allowed to use FP will need to cater for the additional stack requirement to save FP context. The actual save of the context can be done either on context switch to the partition or lazily. This approach could give the benefit of both performance and memory savings but it requires some analysis and design to be done in TF-M.

During bootup, we cleared the CONTROL.FPCA, and if you access hardware float point in a partition thread should work because it would re-invoke the FPCA bit and make everything work as usual.

About FPU, it seems there is no way to use the hardware floating-point support instead of the software support (see "-msoft-float" flag in CommonConfig.cmake file). Is there a reason for that? Maybe some performance reasons? About DSP, in CompilerGNUARMxy.cmake files, architecture definition is preferred to CPU type and, in my case, "-march=armv8-m.main" flags is chosen (without +dsp option). The solution I found is to only define ARM_CPU_TYPE (and not ARM_CPU_ARCHITECTURE) to use "-mcpu=cortex-m33" flag instead of "-march=armv8-m.main". So I can use DSP instructions. However, I am not sure if this is the best solution. Maybe an option could be added to allow or not the use of DSP instructions? Thank you in advance for the answer, Best regards, Cindy

Hi, Thank you very much for the changes to the image signing script - those look like great QOL improvements. WRT Ninja and externalproject support, there is currently an ongoing effort to improve the TF-M build system by rewriting it to use more modern and streamlined cmake. I haven't tested it as an externalproject yet, but am pretty confident that it should now work "out of the box". When it gets to the stage that it can be submitted to trustedfirmware.org as a patch I'll try to reply to this so you can test that.

Re: [TF-M] DSP instructions and FPU use

by Soby Mathew

Hi Ken, I agree that FPCCR_S.TS (in addition to other setting for FP) should be set if FPU needs to be used in secure world. The FPCCR.LSPEN allows saving the context lazily which was what I was referring to previously. Eventhough the hardware is performing the stacking, the policy chosen (lazy stacking/stack always) affects interrupt latency which should be considered for the design for FPU usage in TF-M. Best Regards Soby Mathew From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Ken Liu via TF-M Sent: 01 June 2020 15:55 To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] DSP instructions and FPU use Hi Soby & Andrej, The FP context is managed by hardware automatically in M-profile architecture. While booting we clear FPCA since we are not using FP under handler mode, we don't want FP get involved during initialization and need extra clean up job. But if a thread uses FP the FPCA is set to 1 automatically, and if exceptions are happening the FP context stacked automatically by hardware - the secure scheduler just keep the EXC_RETURN which contains FP context and finally recover it back. Which means if you enabled hardware FP unintentional it can work, the only place a problem may occur should be the non-secure preempting secure execution case. I think the only thing we are missing now is we did not set FPCCR_S.TS = 1 since we did not realize that user would enable FP in secure world. This would cause the FP register may contain secure information while Non-secure preempting secure execution. Need to go through the settings and double-check. So at least before we finish the estimation I think FPCCR_S.TS should be set to ensure the security. Andrej, have you set this bit while you are using hardware FP?

Hi, As the first commit of 'source_structure' document is merged, here is the first patch to follow the document: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/4315 The patch looks big, even it just adjusts the content inside 'secure_fw'. To make the related sources can pass the building, some files out of the 'secure_fw' need to be changed. The goal of merging is ASAP so that we won't block upcoming features. Please provide the feedback about potential USAGE problem you may meet. As the patch is big, it won't be applicable to make THIS patch perfect to meet all the requirements defined in the document, a series of upcoming patches would come as amending. Also if there are suggestions about the structure document, please write to the mailing list and put discussion in this task: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T751 The rendered structure document: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/252/artifact/bui… BR /Ken

Correction - MMIO region is not sharable between partitions

by Ken Liu

Hi, In the tech forum I mentioned a potential way of sharing MMIO regions - this is not correct. Double checked the PSA FF and it is defined explicitly in the spec page 43: "A Secure Partition always has exclusive access to an MMIO region. Secure Partitions are not allowed to share MMIO regions with other Secure Partitions and MMIO regions are not allowed to overlap." Sorry for the confusion. BR /Ken

Re: [TF-M] [Compiler related] Unify necessary and minimal set compiler definitions for SPM

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi Ken, One of the most well working part of CMSIS is the compiler abstraction layer: * It does wat is needed. * Most functionality can not be coded in a different way (i.e. intrinsics). * It became a de-facto standard and most compilers support it. What are the benefits driving re-implementation? /George From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Ken Liu via TF-M Sent: 27 May 2020 02:39 To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] [Compiler related] Unify necessary and minimal set compiler definitions for SPM Hi Jamie, At the current stage: * The CMSIS headers dependency has been moved into HAL, the SPM native code would not rely on specific system provided definitions. * These usages are quite TF-M specific and small so there is less significance to upstream back, we can revisit if need to do this after extended the header content - but this extending is out of original design expectation.

Re: [TF-M] Pre-provisioned keys

by Tamas Ban

Hi Brian, The pre-provisioned keys are highly platform dependent. TF-M just provide an API to access them, but currently we have no standard/general solution to storing them. There was question a few weeks ago related to same topic. I just copied Shebu's past answer here: "Provisioning was added as a future roadmap item in anticipation of a PSA Provisioning Specification. The Specification (Factory or application specific) hasn't happened so far. There is no active work ongoing in TF-M around provisioning. TF-M using provisioned keys in CC-312 on MuscaB1 platform is available as an example. See details here<https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu…> under CC312 heading. In TrustedFirmware TSC, provisioning has been a discussion topic sometime back. Search for provisioning in the minutes below. https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/rfc_tfm.md is an RFC that Kevin prepared during those discussions for TF-M devices to use certificate chain.

Simplify the veneers of library model

by Mingyang Sun

Hi all, In the current implementation, every secure function has an associated veneer function. Therefore, there are so many veneer functions in ‘tfm_veneers.c’, which have a similar prototype. This would lead to: * Waste of the veneer and secure function size – these APIs have a similar prototype, and they have unified NS dispatcher already. * More secure functions lead to more veneers and potential re-configuration of the non-secure callable area. This patch tries to unify the service entry so that: * Similar function codes do not need to be duplicated. * Keeping almost the same performance. This is also an experiment patch to start the journey to the SFN model Andrew proposed. Let’s see the feedbacks and decide what to do in the next step. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/4115 Please do feedback, especially the library model users – please check what kinds of the inconvenience it brings so that we can discuss the correct shape. Here are some details in the patch: Prototype of the unified veneer function: psa_status_t tfm_sfc_call(uint32_t ctrl, psa_invec *in_vec, psa_outvec *out_vec); where: the uint32_t type parameter ‘ctrl’ is a pack of parameters - psa invec length, psa outvec length, and function identifier. [8 bits for inlen][8 bits for outlen][16 bits for function identifier] This is to avoid the condition that 5 parameters will cause re-wrapping of parameters. Time cost and code size measurement: github-tracking Use the unified veneer cost of a veneer call is 1264 cost of an interrupt is 941 veneer used 832B, region size 832B, 100% cost of a veneer call is 1274 cost of an interrupt is 941 veneer used 64B, region size 832B, 7.69% Thanks, Mingyang

[RFC] Compiler-specific configurations and architecture registers

by Summer Qin

Hi, Even the ongoing HAL design abstracts all platform-specific operations, there are still some operations that need to be performed directly in TF-M, such as architecture-related operations. These operations are common for all platforms, such as: * generic assembler code for AAPCS based context management. * assign attributes to specific functions. These operations rely on compiler and architecture much instead of the platform. So, define a CORE-specific compiler configuration header file would be a straight requirement. With these unified headers, writing the architecture-specific code would be much safer because it won't involve hardcode compiler related changes. The minimal set of mandatory architecture registers is also planned to be defined. Here send out a mail to collect for the feedbacks - is it worthy of doing this to decouple the architecture from the platform, or we can just re-use the platform provided headers? Any comments are welcome:) Best Regards, Summer

Proposal to add sub-folders to collect documents under design_documents folder

by David Hu

Hi all, I'd like to propose to add sub-folders under docs/design_documents to collect the documents on the same topic. Currently, there are already 21 documents in total under docs/design_documents and the number may grow rapidly. It can be more clear if we can organize the documents on the same topic into a dedicated sub-folder under docs/design_documents. Please help review the patch set https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22design-doc-subdir%22+(status:… if the proposal sound interesting. I move dual-cpu and TF-M Profiles related documents to their dedicated folder respectively in the patches. Any comment is welcome! In current patches, the html pages are still put in the same level during Sphinx build. It is because design documents are grouped by document status, instead of document hierarchy. The html pages can be further organized as well if we switch to group html according to folder structures. Best regards, Hu Ziji

[RFC] [Source Structure] Design document is availiable.

by Ken Liu

Hi, There is an upcoming source structure adjustment for TF-M. The basic idea is to make the structure simple and easy to be understood by users. The significant change would be a long term goal so no worry. In the beginning, there would be changes in core and platform to align with HAL changes. Please help to put comments on the design documents - after aligned, this document would be a user guide document to describe the source structure of TF-M.

TF-M repository restructure

by Anton Komlev

Hello, Let me announce the changes in TF-M project repository structure. To allow project grow up in a more organized way the existing codebase will be split on multiple repositories and placed under TF-M folder. This is the similar structure as all other projects have in git.trustedfirmware.org<https://git.trustedfirmware.org>. This weekend TF-M git repository will be moved from https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git to https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git The original URL will be supported for some time (as a link to the new one) giving time for adjustment. Current plan is to keep the redirection for 6 months but let me know please, if it makes any conflict and another depreciation period is better. Best regards, Anton Komlev

Re: [TF-M] Boot seed in TFM Attestation tests

Hi Andrej, The value of boot_seed is compared against a hard coded value. This behaviour can be turned off in test/suites/attestation/attest_token_test_values.h.

Re: [TF-M] Query on persistent keys Crypto API

by Soby Mathew

Hi Kevin > Presumably this positions the merged change request around 1.0 beta 3, just to know where we stand with the API documentation versus implementation in TF-M? Yes, you are right, the Crypto service as implemented in TF-M positions it very close to 1.0 beta 3 API specification. There is still some unimplemented functionality and some differences in error code with respect to the Beta3 specification as reported by the compliance test suite here : https://github.com/ARM-software/psa-arch-tests/blob/master/api-tests/docs/t… > Presumably this migration to ID based accesses (versus handles) is still a work in progress, with a goal of perhaps being complete for 1.1? Yes, TF-M depends on mbedcrypto to provide the necessary functionality.

Re: [TF-M] TF-M Technical Forum call - May 14

by Andrew Thoelke

Hi, Following on from the presentation and discussion on Ken's "Default Handles" proposal on 30 April, we have made some updates following the feedback and further implementation consideration. I (or Ken if he attends) can present an update on the proposal. I also mentioned last time that there is some missing context for this proposal. We are working on an update for PSA-FF-M v1.1 that will provide an enhancement of the v1.0 'IPC model' for secure services, and also a 'Secure Function model' which is similar to the 'library model' of TF-M today. The objective is a single architecture that enables secure service developers to select the framework features required for the complexity of the service; and the framework implementation to be optimised for simple systems. On Thursday, I would like to present an introduction to this PSA-FF-M v1.1 roadmap, and outline the steps that we think are required.

TFM 1.0 integration merged into upcoming Zephyr 2.3

by Kevin Townsend

Hi, Just as a FYI, TF-M 1.0 support was merged into Zephyr RTOS this week, meaning that it will be included by default in Zephyr starting with the upcoming 2.3 release. Zephyr is used on the non-secure side, and TF-M is used on the secure side, with the TF-M build happening as part of the normal Zephyr build process, meaning no knowledge of TF-M internals is required to get started. It's also worth highlighting QEMU integration with Zephyr+TF-M. Using the MPS2 AN521 target, you can run application from the command-line with QEMU, meaning that you can create test applications that use the PSA APIs with no HW required, or perform certain application tests purely in SW. As an example, the following sample was run with a clean install of Zephyr, showing QEMU output and demonstrating how to use the initial attestation, crypo and secure storage services: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/master/samples/tfm_integr… $ mkdir zephyrtfm && cd zephyrtfm $ west init $ west update $ west build -p -b mps2_an521_nonsecure zephyr/samples/tfm_integration/psa_level_1/ -t run [INF] Starting bootloader [INF] Swap type: none [INF] Swap type: none [INF] Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x80000 [INF] Jumping to the first image slot [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing!

We hope this will make TF-M, and all the hard work that has gone into it, far more accessible to a wider range of people, with HW no longer being an immediate limitation to trying it out.

Remove 'INDIVIDUAL_SW_COMPONENTS' support from attestation

by Tamas Ban

Hi, I let you notify that 'INDIVIDUAL_SW_COMPONENTS' support is planned to be removed from attestation service and bootloader. What is this? * Boootloader and SPE can exchange data through shared memory. This is needed to provide the boot status info to attestation service. The boot status info is included in the SW_COMPONENT claim in the attestation token. * Until now two types of data encoding was supported during this data sharing: * All boot status data item is passed as a single TLV entry: -DATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE=INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS * Boot status is already encoded to CBOR format at build time. Bootloader only updates a few field in it, and pass the CBOR object to SPE. Then attestation service just include this already CBOR formatted object to the token, without the need to applying further encoding. -DATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE=CBOR_ENCODED_CLAIMS The 'INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS' format is marked as deprecated feature for a while in the code base. Now the plan is to remove it and rely fully on the 'CBOR_ENCODED_CLAIMS' format. The build system support for this is present in TF-M for a long, and recently it was upstream to original MCUBoot 'imgtool' script as well. Next MCUBoot release (v1.6) will contain it. If you has any objection, because your project is using the 'INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS' format then please let us know! BR, Tamas

Re: [TF-M] LPC55S69 support merged into master

by Thomas Törnblom

Hi Kevin, Are there any plans to add ARMCLANG as a build environment for this? If so, then I can add an IAR port as well. Going from ARMCLANG to IAR is much easier than to go from GNUARM to IAR. I have access to one of these boards so will be able to run regression tests as well.

Improve library model secure function entry points

by David Hu

Hi all, I uploaded a patch (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/4009) to simplify/improve the entry points of secure functions in Library model. In current Library model implementation, each secure function includes the same inline entry point tfm_core_partition_request(). Actually, only the NS client check is required to be inline. The duplicated entry points cost much code size. Thus this patch extracts NS client check and make it as a simple inline function tfm_core_is_ns_client(). tfm_core_partition_request() becomes a normal function called by each secure function. Some quantitative results of code size optimization (about 3KB) are shown below: Profile Small (ConfigDefaultProfileS) is based on https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22symmetric-attest%22+(status:o… ConfigDefault + Armclang 6.10 + Release + AN521 Code RO-data RW-data ZI-data Current impl 129778 8994 272 50108 Improved 126294 8994 272 50108 ConfigDefaultProfileS + Armclang 6.10 + Release + AN521 Code RO-data RW-data ZI-data Current impl 55886 3274 200 31664 Improved 52930 3274 200 31664 Best regards, Hu Ziji

Re: [TF-M] REGION_DECLARE macros

by Sherry Zhang

Hi Thomas, OK, the problem is caused by that the names of region related symbols that IRA compiler generate are different with those of ARMCLANG. The work around below do can solve the problem. BTW the work around seems not to be a general one. I think another way to solve the problem is adding a macro like SYMBOL_NAME_BASE(region) which is a wrapper of the REGION_NAME on different compilers.

I ran into a lot of these during the IAR port and as I said they don't work with the IAR linker. I work around this in CommonConfig.cmake by this define: --- embedded_set_target_compile_flags(TARGET ${tgt} LANGUAGE C FLAGS ${COMMON_COMPILE_FLAGS} "-DImage$$= " "-DLoad$$LR$$= " "-D$$ZI$$Base=$$Base" "-D$$ZI$$Limit=$$Limit" "-D$$RO$$Base=$$Base" "-D$$RO$$Limit=$$Limit" "-D$$RW$$Base=$$Base" "-D$$RW$$Limit=$$Limit" "-D_DATA$$RW$$Base=_DATA$$Base" "-D_DATA$$RW$$Limit=_DATA$$Limit" "-D_DATA$$ZI$$Base=_DATA$$Base" "-D_DATA$$ZI$$Limit=_DATA$$Limit" "-D_STACK$$ZI$$Base=_STACK$$Base" "-D_STACK$$ZI$$Limit=_STACK$$Limit" --- i.e. I replace $$ZI$$Base with $$Base, Image$$ and Load$$LR are removed entirely, and so on. To make this work I need to split the symbol up into its components, which is done with the REGION macros. So the symbol "Image$$ARM_LIB_STACK_MSP$$ZI$$Base" turns into "ARM_LIB_STACK_MSP$$Base", which is what we use for IAR. For ARMCLANG and GNUARM the macros generate the original symbol.

Re: [TF-M] Questions on TFM_NS_CLIENT_IDENTIFICATION

by David Wang

Hi Reinhard, Add more from user's perspective: The non-secure client id can be used to identify different "clients" from non-secure side. The example from tf-m existing secure service is the storage. Different client id can access different storage space. Therefore, the storage is "isolation" among the clients. The users can create the custom secure service and leverage different client ids (let's say non-secure client id here) to identify different non-secure "callers": * The meaning of identifying different non-secure callers depends on the user case of the secure service. For example, different storage spaces, different access permissions, etc. * In RTOS, different non-secure client ids are managed via TZ_APIs (https://www.keil.com/pack/doc/CMSIS/Core/html/group__context__trustzone__fu…) if they're enabled. * The mapping between non-secure applications and the TZ secure contexts (stand for different client ids in tfm) is managed by NS RTOS kernel. When the ns applications get updated, then the mapping should also be maintained by RTOS kernel. Hope this helps.

by Ken Liu

Hi Anton, I would like to give a brief introduction for a mechanism which would improve the coding efficiency and performance for RoT Service API by avoiding 'psa_connect'/'psa_close'.

Documentation for platform interfaces

by Reinhard Keil

Is there somewhere a high-level documentation for the platform interfaces that are here: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/platform/includ… What are the dependencies of the services to the platform files? For example, when is nv_counters used? Reinhard

Re: [TF-M] PSA Crypto failure with addition of persistent keys

by David Hu

Hi Raymond, Sorry for the trouble. Sorry that I cannot find a Crypto test case with index 250. Could you please share more details and error logs of this test case? Best regards, Hu Ziji From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Raymond Ngun via TF-M Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 10:26 AM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org; Jamie Fox <Jamie.Fox(a)arm.com> Subject: [TF-M] PSA Crypto failure with addition of persistent keys Hi Jamie, With the addition of persistent key support, we have seen the PSA Crypto test hang at test 250. Although we originally saw this with PSoC64, I was able to reproduce this problem on a Musca-B1. Can you please have a look please? Note that the behavior is not always the same. I have 2x Musca-B1 boards and they both failed the first time I ran the PSA Crypto test suite. However, they both did not freeze on a 2nd run. Possibly a stack issue such that the behavior is dependent on what is in stack. Thank you, Ray This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries.

Re: [TF-M] [RFC] The veneer usage under library model

by Ken Liu

Looks no more feedbacks. We will start creating it and call for review when finished. Issue created for collecting comments: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T720 Thanks. /Ken From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Ken Liu via TF-M Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 4:32 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] [RFC] The veneer usage under library model (Ken Liu) Hi Reinhard, Thanks for your feedback, and let's see if others would give more comments. Will broadcast the implementation after it is created. Before that we need to know if some users (especially those developing secure partitions under library model) got comments on this. Also, I think this update could help the first point in your list. /Ken From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m-bounces@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> On Behalf Of Reinhard Keil via TF-M Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 2:57 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com<mailto:nd@arm.com>> Subject: [TF-M] [RFC] The veneer usage under library model (Ken Liu) Ken, This is the answer to "What do you think about this update?" When external TF-M APIs do not change, there should be no user impact. As the veneer is just an internal implementation of parameter passing, changing the veneer implementation would be just fine. I made some suggestions here https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/tf-m/2020-March/000805.html I would be happy to review your implementation in case that you have doubts.

Re: [TF-M] Will TFM crypto service suppot national encryption algorithm in the future?

by Shebu Varghese Kuriakose

Hi Matt, TF-M plans to continue using Mbedcrypto in the crypto service. Mbed Crypto implements the PSA Crypto APIs and is also now part of trustedfirmware.org community project alongside TF-M. However, it is possible with some effort for a platform using TF-M to use another crypto library in the TF-M crypto service. Of course the library will need to support PSA Crypto APIs to be PSA compliant. There is support for ARIA, Camellia in Mbed TLS. There has already been a PR for SM4 support sometime back - https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/1165. SM2/SM3 algorithm support can be contributed to MbedTLS project (Mbed Crypto is now merged to Mbed TLS project). The maintainers will have to review and integrate the contribution as their bandwidth permits while finding time to review several contributions that the project is receiving. I am adding psa-crypto mailing list which is used for Mbedcrypto/PSA Crypto discussions. Regards, Shebu From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Matt via TF-M Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2020 8:24 AM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: [TF-M] Will TFM crypto service suppot national encryption algorithm in the future? Hi All TFM experts, TFM crypto service is based on mbedcrypto and there is no national encryption algorithm support in current mbedcrypto implementation. The Chinese market has a strong demand for national encryption algorithms, such as SM2/SM3/SM4, will TFM crypto service change to other crypto implementation to support the national encryption algorithm in the future?

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

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hi all, Thanks to all who have commented on this proposal so far. I've edited the original document to try and incorporate all feedback gathered so far (through the TSC meeting, this email thread and the TF-A tech call). Please have another look and flag anything I might have missed: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… The major changes are: == Removed concept of self-review == This is proving too controversial, several people do not want to allow self-review. Roles of maintainer and code owner are still cumulative but cannot be both exercised for the same patch. The exact method of dealing with review bottleneck is still to be decided. In addition to the current proposal of increasing the maintainers pool, the most popular alternatives mentioned so far are: - Set a minimum wait time for feedback before a patch can be merged without any further delay. - Mandate distinct reviewers for a patch. == Enhanced the section "Patch contribution Guidelines" == Mentioned that patches should be small, on-topic, with comprehensive commit messages. == Added a note about how to deal with disagreement == If reviewers cannot find a common ground, the proposal is to call out a 3rd-party maintainer. == Removed "out-of-date" platform state == Squashed it into "limited support" to reduce the number of states. == Removed "orphan" state from platform support life cycle == This concept is orthogonal to the level of functionality. Added a note in the "Code Owner" section instead. == Per-project guidelines as a complementary document == Added a list of things that it would typically cover. == Added requirement on fully supported platforms to document the features they support == == Added todo mentioning that the proposal might cover branching strategies in the future == The full diff may be seen here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/phriction/diff/73/?l=4&r=5 This proposal is still open for discussion at this stage and further feedback is most welcome!

by David Hu

Hi all, Hope you all well! Profile Small (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3598) includes symmetric key algorithm based Initial Attestation, as its Initial Attestation feature. I propose a design of symmetric key algorithm based Initial Attestation in TF-M, to complete the Profile Small feature list. Could you please take a look the design document at https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3898/? Any feedback is welcome! I also upload a PoC of symmetric key algorithm based Initial Attestation in TF-M. Please check the patch set at https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22symmetric-attest%22+(status:o….

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

by Shreve, Erik

I see the discussion of today's tech forum agenda has begun ahead of time. :) Individual public key operations can take ms even when accelerated with HW. Further, the HW accelerators operate as math coprocessors with a series of math operations stitched together by SW. No doubt existing models in TF-M have the benefit of simplicity for the secure code analysis. However, their simplicity complicates the scheduling of the non-trusted code. The qualifier in this statement "No impact to time deterministic execution on the NS side unless two threads call secure services" is the issue. I believe we need a middle ground to drive additional adoption.

Re: [TF-M] Using tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key(), TFM key-storage?

by Jamie Fox

Hi Andrej, Key derivation should be deterministic - given the same input parameters, tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key() should always derive the same key. Each platform needs to implement tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key() to use a key derivation function (KDF) to derive keys from the hardware unique key (HUK) that is kept in some one time programmable (OTP) memory on the chip. Depending on the platform, the key derivation might be done with a crypto accelerator, or it might be done with a software implementation of a KDF if no accelerator is available. You can use the Musca-B1 implementation as an example (https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/platform/ext/ta…), which uses CryptoCell-312 to derive keys from the HUK. Other Arm platforms only have dummy implementations of this function. In general, users of this API will keep their derived keys in volatile memory and redo the key derivation on each boot, as the cost of key derivation is low. Kind regards, Jamie From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Andrej Butok via TF-M Sent: 09 April 2020 11:49 To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: [TF-M] Using tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key(), TFM key-storage? Hello, Could you clarify: 1) Must the tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key() function to return the same key per each call (as it's done now), or it may return randomized key (per each call) derived from HUK? 2) If tfm_plat_get_huk_derived_key() may return a different key per call, the generated key must be stored in persistent storage. Is this key persistent storage already implemented (using the default parameters) for example in ITS, or the key-storage must be implemented additionally? It looks like the current TFM key storage is placed in RAM, or I have missed something? Thank you, Andrej Butok

Re: [TF-M] [RFC] The veneer usage under library model (Ken Liu)

Hi Reinhard, Thanks for your feedback, and let's see if others would give more comments. Will broadcast the implementation after it is created. Before that we need to know if some users (especially those developing secure partitions under library model) got comments on this. Also, I think this update could help the first point in your list. /Ken From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Reinhard Keil via TF-M Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 2:57 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: [TF-M] [RFC] The veneer usage under library model (Ken Liu) Ken, This is the answer to "What do you think about this update?"

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

by Ken Liu

Hi Erik, Could you share us more design details such as the slides you presented in Tech Forum, the progress and so on? We want to see more details (the more the better I think) and then we could discuss more precisely. Also, if this design has been prototyped, try to collect some data would be much helpful. Thanks. /Ken From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Reinhard Keil via TF-M Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 2:51 PM To: Shreve, Erik <e-shreve(a)ti.com>; DeMars, Alan <ademars(a)ti.com> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal Erik, I believe we should measure timing behaviour and document it first before come to conclusions. Personally I have not reviewed the IPC mode. I was just reviewing the SFN (aka Library mode) and measured the current implementation (actually it was a RC3+patches version). My result and assessment is here https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/tf-m/2020-March/000805.html - it has as expected for v1 "room for improvement". Did you do similar tests with the IPC model already? Do you have timing measurements of the HW crypto accelerator operations? From the STM32L5 data sheet we are getting 410 cycles as the maximum time of an AES 256-byte key decrypt operation (most operations seems to take less than 100 cycles). The fact that crypto is time consuming is not new for system designers that use a single core processor. As said the solution in today's applications is: * Crypto is in "Normal" priority * Time critical execution is "High" priority - this threads can preempt execution of "Normal" priority threads. Have a happy Easter time and stay healty!

Didn't mean to send any other impression. Also, appreciate your feedback on the proposal. Elegance is in the eye of the beholder, but that said I think that the IPC model does have an elegance to it. However, its elegance imposes limitations that complicate the entirety of _some_ systems - leading to less overall elegance in _those_ systems. The IPC model isn't bad or inappropriate, it's a great solution. It just doesn't cover everything (what could?) Further, if a middle ground is needed but there exists no 'elegant' solution then a solution a bit less than elegant may be required. Also, no debate that the IPC model is not much different from when users are running mbedTLS only in a dedicated thread, but that is not how we see crypto used in our ecosystem. There are many industrial and automotive use cases where determinism is required. Further, both of these markets are seeing an uptick in security interest and even regulation pressure. And these markets don't like change. Change implies opening products back up to costly verification and validation activities and risk. I can't share particulars on this email list, but I can say that any system supporting multiple concurrent connections wherein different connections have different priority and at least some of those have deterministic response requirements will have difficulty adopting the IPC model. (Of course there are other ways to solve this such as increased clock rate or duplicated HW accelerators, but these impact die cost and can negatively impact power performance.) Keep in mind that not all connections are TLS connections over the internet where a few milliseconds would be noise. But based on your statement "Maybe there are other solutions that extending the RTOS kernel," I'm wondering if I've not communicated the idea well enough. The RTOS kernels would only be extended by the calling of tz_context APIs during task switching. This is something that is already occurring in the IPC model. (You mention that using the tz_context APIs is "tricky," can you elaborate more on this?) There is then a TF-M _to_ RTOS layer allowing secured code to signal semaphore and mutex usage to the RTOS. The RTOS kernel itself has no changes for this layer. Thus, I see the impact to the RTOS kernels as minimal. And since the RTOS retains the same control over when tasks run, there is minimal (if any) impact to application code. I think one of your concerns is adoption of TF-M and that it may be negatively impacted if difficult integration with each RTOS is required. Yes? If so, I am sharing your concern about adoption, but I think the bigger hindrance is not the RTOS integration but application level integration. After all there are far fewer RTOSes than applications in the world. Likely our different experiences are leading us to different conclusions here despite a shared concern. But providing a few well selected options can maximize adoption for effort. At the end of the Tech Forum meeting someone suggested a model like this could replace (or upgrade) the Library model. Regarding HW run times, the specifics really are in cycle counts if we want to compare them with the cost of task switching. Many ECC (and certainly RSA/DSA/DH) math operations take much longer (millions of cycles) than the time to switch a task. Finally, regarding minimal viable product (MVP), I understand the purpose of an MVP to either be a platform to gain feedback toward a product launch or a minimum product that is useful to early adopters. Either way, it seems that with the release of TF-M 1.0 this has been achieved. So then the next steps are to incorporate feedback and grow the market of the product. Growing the market use of TF-M is what I seek to do with the proposal. Again, appreciate the discussion. Erik Shreve, PSEM Software Security Engineer & Architect (CMCU Platform Development) From: Reinhard Keil [mailto:Reinhard.Keil@arm.com] Sent: Friday, April 03, 2020 7:26 AM To: Shreve, Erik; DeMars, Alan Cc: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>; nd Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal Erik, Alan, Sorry I had not enough time to participate the whole meeting yesterday and I therefore kicked-off some discussion before. It's really great to see your engagement here. Let me summarize: TF-M should work with many different RTOSes as the various CSPs currently have preferences (Azure=ThreadX, AWS=FreeRTOS, etc.). To make it easy to work with this diverse eco-system we should aim for simplicity of TF-M/RTOS interaction. Also tz_context slows down overall thread switching and is tricky to use. I agree with you that we will need a middle ground. You say: "No impact to time deterministic execution on the NS side unless two threads call secure services" is the issue. However I cannot see today an elegant solution. My question is: what use-cases do you see where two different threads need to call secure services. Is in such use-cases timing a critical factor? Alan raised "In a real world use case we are faced with, the process kicked off by the secure service may take a long time (ie several ms)". This is correct, but makes it really sense to schedule CPU execution. HW accelerator math operations take some ~1usec; thread scheduling is not economic. IMHO: It is not different from today's implementation where i.e. mbedTLS is running in a thread. For time critical applications you would solve that problem with thread priorities where: * Crypto is in "Normal" priority * Time critical execution is "High" priority I believe we should focus first on a minimum viable product and then analyze the real-world problems that come with it. Maybe there are other solutions that extending the RTOS kernel. Have a good weekend.

[RFC] The veneer usage under library model

by Ken Liu

Hi, There are veneer prototypes in 'tfm_veneers.h', with different function name but the same parameters. These veneers are for the library model. I think these veneers can be combined into one and use a parameter 'type' to dispatch to the actual functions. What do you think about this update? Would this change impact your development much? Please provide your comments. Thanks. /Ken

But that is why I suggested that the project's feature list be versioned. The platform's supported feature list document would reference the version of the project feature list used. Platform maintainers then don' t have to continuously update the document. But it will be clear how long it has been since they did update and thus what information may be missing. Versioning the feature list document is also why I mentioned that the project version number may want to adopt a version number scheme where feature changes are represented by a certain part of the version number. For example Semantic Versioning 2.0.0: https://semver.org/. Hope that clarifies the intent? For implementation of this I'm imagining each project could create a supported_feature_list.rst file and each platform would copy that file into their platform doc folder and fill it in. I'm not saying that approach would be required at tf.org level, just sharing to further illustrate. > > That said, perhaps the implementation details for a project would not warrant such a document per platform? My primary concern around this is misuse/misconfiguration. If a platform doesn't support a feature or configuration it may not be obvious to a user unless an error is generated at build or run-time. OK, I think I get the idea now, thanks for the explanations. This looks reasonable to me. The idea of keeping a project's feature list being mirrored and filled in per platform sounds like something we would want to enforce at the tf.org level IMO. At the same time, this could also be handled at the build system level as you pointed out, or more precisely by the configuration manager. I am thinking about the Linux kernel, where support for a particular feature is handled (and documented) through the KConfig system. This might be a more scalable approach. And it doesn't prevent us from also auto-generating some feature list out of the Kconfig files for making this information more accessible to users. > My secondary concern is being able to consistently track tickets/bugs with features. Thus, I'm recommending that the features on that list be used with the ticket/issue system by feature name. This would allow users to find all bugs for Feature X on Platform Y in Project Z. > Related to that, when I mentioned "tags." I wasn't thinking of Git tags, but "labels" in the ticket/issue tracking system(s). Different systems work differently for labeling/categorizing issues, but the goal is to provide a consistent way (per project) to find issues related to a feature on a platform. > > If requiring a feature list it is too much at the tf.org level then I'll be satisfied to push for that kind of documentation in the projects or platforms I'm involved in if/as appropriate.

Patches to remove fixed NS region numbers

by Jamie Fox

Hi all, I am proposing some patches to move away from using fixed NS region numbers defined by TF-M core, to having platform-defined SAU region numbering. The motivation for the change is to give platforms more flexibility when configuring the isolation hardware, and in particular, to make it possible to use tools like CMSIS-Zone to generate the isolation hardware configuration. There are a couple of patches: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3484 -- Removes the memory permission check API from TF-M, which was the only user of the fixed region numbers. This API is no longer required because the SPM does all necessary memory permission checks before control reaches the secure partition. The patch removes uses of this API from the Attestation service, the platform service and the tests. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3485 -- Removes the fixed region numbers and refactors all platforms to no longer use them. Reviews appreciated. Kind regards, Jamie

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

Is pre-emption while in secure mode supported? If so, NS RTOS may have to be modified to handle switching from a thread who's PC and SP are in secure domain.

It saves some "git archeology" effort to try and dig this information afterwards. Also, when someone starts looking at a project, I would expect this to be one of the first thing they look up, they would want to know in which shape the project is for the particular platform they are interested in. That's almost as important in my eyes as a "getting started" guide.

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

by Shreve, Erik

Sandrine, Really glad to see this being pulled together. A couple of areas of feedback around the Platform Support Life Cycle. As previously mentioned there are two orthogonal concerns captured in the current life cycle: Support and Functionality. I'd like to see these split out. For functionality, chip vendors may not have a business case for supporting all features on a given platform but they may provide full support for the features they have chosen to include. A simple example would be supporting PSA FF Isolation Level 1 only due to lack of HW isolation support needed to achieve Isolation Level 2 or greater. Also, I'd like to see a stronger standard put forth for platform documentation. If a platform is "supported," I believe the documentation should be complete and accurate. A lack of complete and clear documentation leaves open a wide door for misuse/misconfiguration which could result in a vulnerable system. Here is a more concrete proposal: Functional Support: Each project shall provide a standard feature or functionality list. Each platform shall include in its documentation a copy of this list with the supported functionality marked as supported. The platform documentation may reference a ticket if support is planned but not yet present. The platform documentation shall explicitly state if a feature or function has no plans for support. The feature/functionality list shall be versioned, with the version tied to the release version(s) of the project. In this way, it will be clear if a platform was last officially updated for version X but the project is currently at version Y > X. Note: projects will need to adopt (if they have not already) a version scheme that distinguishes between feature updates and bug fixes. Each project and platform shall use tags or similar functionality on tickets to associate tickets to features/functionality and platforms. If the names of tags can't match the name of the feature or platform exactly then a mapping shall be provided in the appropriate document(s). Life Cycle State Fully Supported There is (at least) one active code owner for this platform. All supported features build and either all tests pass or failures are associated with tracked known issues. Other (not associated to a test) Known Issues are tracked Documentation is up to date Note: Projects should document standards on how "active" code ownership is measured and further document standards on how code owners are warned about impending life cycle state changes. Orphan There is no active code owner All supported features build and either all tests pass or failures are associated with tracked known issues. Other (not associated to a test) Known Issues may not have been maintained (as there is no active code owner) Documentation status is unclear since there is no active code owner. There has been no change to the feature/functionality list in the project since the platform was last "Fully Supported" Out of date Same as orphan, but either: there have been changes to the feature/functionality list, or there are failing tests without tracked tickets, or there are known documentation issues. Deprecated Same as Out of Date, but the build is broken. Platform may be removed from the project codebase in the future.

The maintenance proposal looks great ! I have some feedback on specific portions: 1. maintainer/owner/author patches. " Note that roles can be cumulative, in particular the same individual can be both a code owner and a maintainer. In such a scenario, the individual would be able to self-merge a patch solely affecting his module, having the authority to approve it from both a code owner and maintainer's point of view.": I'm always leery of people self-approving their patches. At a minimum, all self-patches should be published and a minimum wait time provided for feedback. Or preferably that another maintainer does the merge (it does not need to be mandated but should be suggested). 2. 'timely manner': This expectation should be more explicit - when the author can start requesting other maintainers to merge on assumption that silence == approval (or not). Such timeliness expectations are probably best set per project however. 3. The proposal does not address branching strategies. i.e. will there be separate maintainers for dev/master/stable branches? I don't think it needs to address it yet - keep it simpler for a start. But a todo saying something like "in the future this project maintenance proposal might be expanded to address multi-branch maintainership" would be good. 4. The platform lifecycle state machine has too many transitions. "Fully maintained" <-> "orphan" -> "out" seems sufficient to me. Thanks, Christian.

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

by Shreve, Erik

Ken, Thanks for the feedback! I agree that care will be needed in the design and implementation of the calls from S to NS. I hope to provide design details that minimize the risk by minimizing the RTOS specific layer. Unfortunately, I'm not clear on your feedback about the 'scheduler' and 'context-switch' terms. Let me expand on my proposal here a bit more. Perhaps this will clarify things or at least provide enough detail for you to provide more specific feedback. I'm sure you are aware that the PSA Firmware Framework provides for the scheduling of the secure partitions. I'm proposing (as an option, it is not a core feature of the proposal) that the SPM may be responsible for scheduling of Application Root of Trust services in this new model. Further, execution of PSA RoT services on behalf of Application RoT services may also fall under the SPM's scheduling. Thus, this part of the new model would fit with the PSA FF spec. This would thus mean that the NSPE RTOS is only scheduling NSPE Tasks and the associated PSA RoT service requests for those NSPE Tasks. However, supporting the "App RoT scheduling by SPM" in the model may complicate the implementation or at the very least the straightforward understanding of how the model works. The alternative, of course, is that the NSPE RTOS schedules the execution of the Application RoT services the same as it schedules the PSA RoT services. I think I prefer the latter, but I'm open to the former if the community has good reasons for it. One reason might be an expectation that PSA RoT services will be maintained by platform owners and platform owners can choose which models to support, but the community may want creators of Application RoT services to have the same experience regardless of the model implemented.

However, the current models do not minimize impact to scheduling on single core systems. The library model locks behind a single mutex the operations that previously existed independent of one another. The IPC model provides more flexibility. However, it still extends lock times beyond current implementations and it introduces an additional scheduler which removes determinism and forces system designers to rethink existing code. I'd like to know if there are any recorded plans for such a model (or something more similar to it than the three items above). If not, has it been discussed and actively rejected? If so why?

Project Maintenance Proposal for tf.org Projects

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello all, As the developers community at trustedfirmware.org is growing, there is an increasing need to have work processes that are clearly documented, feel smooth and scale well. We think that there is an opportunity to improve the way the trustedfirmware.org projects are managed today. That's why we are sharing a project maintenance proposal, focusing on the TF-A and TF-M projects initially. The aim of this document is to propose a set of rules, guidelines and processes to try and improve the way we work together as a community today. Note that this is an early draft at this stage. This is put up for further discussion within the trustedfirmware.org community. Nothing is set in stone yet and it is expected to go under change as feedback from the community is incorporated. Please find the initial proposal here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… Please provide any feedback you may have by replying to this email thread, keeping all 4 mailing lists in the recipients list. I will collate comments from the community and try to incorporate them in the document, keeping you updated on changes made between revisions. Regards, Sandrine

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

Hi Erik, Right, I had in mind the next forum on Apr 2, which is planned for US time zone. Invitations will be send soon having no more ideas or objection on the time slot. The forum format is open and quite unformal.

Re: [TF-M] Multi-threaded single-scheduler model proposal

Hi Erik, Thanks for proposing improvements to TF-M, cooperative scheduling namely. You hit the topic which was considered but postponed at some moment. Believe, it will be beneficial to all of us to discuss it online and share our views on potential improvement and possible side effects. Let me know, please, if you want to include this topic into next forum agenda?

Re: [TF-M] TF-M Technical Forum call - April 2

Hi Anton, As we will have moved to daylight saving time in US and Europe, it seems like 15.00 UTC could be a good compromise for this next session. Would result in 8.00 west coast/10.00 central/11.00 east/16.00 UK/17.00 Europe/23.00 China. So good times for US/Europe and still possible for China to join if anyone really wants to.

When I did the migration to the latest mbed-crypto tag, I faced the same issue. After couple of discussion within the team and mbedcrypto, this is the understanding I have. Currently mbedcrypto is configured to use NULL entropy. Hence this is the print message when building mbedcrypto : #warning "**** WARNING! MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY defined! " This means that mbedcrypto uses a software algorithm to generate randomness. It iterates this algorithm till it can generate enough randomness for the keypair generation and this is the reason for the delay. If the hardware has an entropy source which can be used for this random number generation, then I understand the performance will be much better. But this will need suitable configuration to be enabled from TF-M. I am not much familiar with hardware architecture of M-Class systems. One of the questions I have to the forum is, do we have such entropy sources on the hardware? Then it is worth scheduling some task to investigate how to abstract/use the entropy source.

I've run these tests on Musca-B1 and with GCC, key generation generally completes in 25s but an armclang build requires 2.5 minutes to complete. This is more pronounced on PSoC64 where we are building for armv6m. Here, the key generation can take up to 5.5 minutes and I've seen it take even longer - I assume this is due to values returned by rng.

FW: 2048-bit RSA Keypair generation is slow

by Tamas Ban

Hi, We did measurements on Musca-B1 with enabled CC312. We did 10 run with both compiler( armclang and gnuarm). RSA2048 key generation takes 10-35 sec. In average gnuarm seems a bit slower. I suspect the reason behind that random number still need to be tested that are they fit for rsa2048 generation (might are they primes?) and the testing algorithm is might faster with armclang. But for sure we have not seen any run which could take minutes.

psa-arch-tests console baud rate

by Thomas Törnblom

Triggered by Rays mail on slow RSA key pair generation, I built and tried to run the tests, but ran into a couple of issues: 1) I attempted to build it for the Musca A, but apparently that doesn't have enough RAM to run these tests 2) Switching to an MPS2+ with AN521 configuration I see that the baud rate on the UART appears wrong when running the tests. mcuboot produces correct messages at 115200 bps, as does the normal ConfigRegression* tests, but the ConfigPsaApiTest* appears to produce just garbage. Is there a setting I need to set to get any useful data on the terminal when running the ConfigPsaApiTests?

Re: [TF-M] Cooperative Scheduling Rules and CMSIS tz_context

by Shreve, Erik

Thanks, The library model seems to treat the entire SPE as a single resource as it appears to lock and only allow a single entry at a time: /* This is the "Big Lock" on the secure side, to guarantee single entry * to SPE */ extern int32_t tfm_secure_lock; Is this a limitation of the current implementation or is this the envisioned design for the library model? If the latter, is there a technical/security reason why only a single entry is allowed? Or is it that no use-case to allow multiple entry has been discussed. To back up a bit, we have use cases where I would like to see the NSPE RTOS make all the scheduling decisions and further have all the secure peripheral resources be managed individually with respect to blocking threads. The IPC model seems to be built around having a scheduler in the SPM and the library model seems to preclude the ability to manage secure peripherals individually.

I'll try to give an overview in the topic you are asking, hoping that it is going to answer most (hopefully all) questions. If there is anything left unanswered, please follow up. So currently TF-M supports two working model: IPC model, and Library model. Library model has no scheduling on the secure side, secure services are called like normal functions. The IPC model contains a simple scheduler. (IPC model is an implementation of the PSA Firmware Framework for M (PSA-FF-M): https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/pdf/PlatformSecurityArchitecture/Ar… ) In this model, all the secure partitions have a runtime context associated with them. They have a separate stack, and their runtime state is saved when they are not scheduled by the Secure scheduler. This means that the number of secure contexts is determined compile time. 'Cooperative Scheduling Rules' document is a proposal of how a Non-Secure and a Secure scheduler should work together, to efficiently handle secure and non-secure asynchronous events. Currently The Secure scheduler has no knowledge of the state of the NS scheduler, and vice-versa. There is a roadmap item 'Scheduler - Initial Support' (currently without deadline) at https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_m/planning/ which refers to this. The RTOS Thread Context Management API implementation had been added to TF-M, to support a feature called TF-M Non-Secure client identification. It is used by the /** * \brief Stores caller's client id in state context */ void tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler(const uint32_t svc_args[]); API that is available for the secure services. Through this API secure services can distinguish Non-Secure clients. TF-M manages a database of clients reported by the Non secure software (through the TZ_*APIs), and also tracks the ID of the currently active client. That client ID is returned by 'tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler' (in case the Secure Service was called from Non-Secure code) Please note that the 'tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler' API is only supported in Library model. The TZ_* APIs are implemented in the NSPM module: secure_fw/core/tfm_nspm_func.c. The IPC model's implementation of the NSPM module is empty: secure_fw/core/tfm_nspm_ipc.c The original idea behind the RTOS Thread Context Management API is that the Secure context creation (allocating stack, and other supporting data structures) and destruction is initiated from the Non-Secure code. The number of active secure contexts is decided by the NS code in run time (of course if there is no more resource, the context creation fails). On scheduling, the non-secure SW notifies the secure code, to activate the context for the thread to be scheduled. This results in setting the secure stack pointer to the desired context (hence the "prepare"). After the NS Scheduler returns to the thread, the Secure or the Non-Secure code continues execution, depending on whether Secure, or Non-Secure execution had been interrupted by the NS scheduling. Neither the single secure context design of the library model, and the above described design of the IPC model supports this approach, and that's why the semantics of the APIs in TF-M are different in TF-M.

Quick introduction: I work at Texas Instruments and I'm investigating TFM for use in some of our platforms here. I'm trying to understand the scheduling and task architecture for PSA and the TFM implementation and how that intersects with NS tasks. I found the following: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/Core/html/group__context__trustzone_… The existing TFM implementation doesn't seem to do much with the tz_context interface. It looks like it tracks which NS client is active, but I don't see where it uses that information to do anything. Am I missing something? I'd like to understand more about where TFM is going with the tz_context interface. Will there be a tz_context focused scheduler? I can imagine one where the SPM associates NS clients with running Secure Partitions and resumes execution of a running a Secure Partition when the NS RTOS indicates the NS client is "active." But it isn't clear to me if this is the direction or not. I note that the text for TZ_LoadContext_S says "**Prepare** the secure context for execution so that a thread in the non-secure state can call secure library modules." Preparing sounds different than immediate execution. Are there other documents I can read or source implementations I can reference to get more of a handle on this?

I'll try to give an overview in the topic you are asking, hoping that it is going to answer most (hopefully all) questions. If there is anything left unanswered, please follow up. So currently TF-M supports two working model: IPC model, and Library model. Library model has no scheduling on the secure side, secure services are called like normal functions. The IPC model contains a simple scheduler. (IPC model is an implementation of the PSA Firmware Framework for M (PSA-FF-M): https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/pdf/PlatformSecurityArchitecture/Ar… ) In this model, all the secure partitions have a runtime context associated with them. They have a separate stack, and their runtime state is saved when they are not scheduled by the Secure scheduler. This means that the number of secure contexts is determined compile time. 'Cooperative Scheduling Rules' document is a proposal of how a Non-Secure and a Secure scheduler should work together, to efficiently handle secure and non-secure asynchronous events. Currently The Secure scheduler has no knowledge of the state of the NS scheduler, and vice-versa. There is a roadmap item 'Scheduler - Initial Support' (currently without deadline) at https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_m/planning/ which refers to this. The RTOS Thread Context Management API implementation had been added to TF-M, to support a feature called TF-M Non-Secure client identification. It is used by the /** * \brief Stores caller's client id in state context */ void tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler(const uint32_t svc_args[]); API that is available for the secure services. Through this API secure services can distinguish Non-Secure clients. TF-M manages a database of clients reported by the Non secure software (through the TZ_*APIs), and also tracks the ID of the currently active client. That client ID is returned by 'tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler' (in case the Secure Service was called from Non-Secure code) Please note that the 'tfm_core_get_caller_client_id_handler' API is only supported in Library model. The TZ_* APIs are implemented in the NSPM module: secure_fw/core/tfm_nspm_func.c. The IPC model's implementation of the NSPM module is empty: secure_fw/core/tfm_nspm_ipc.c The original idea behind the RTOS Thread Context Management API is that the Secure context creation (allocating stack, and other supporting data structures) and destruction is initiated from the Non-Secure code. The number of active secure contexts is decided by the NS code in run time (of course if there is no more resource, the context creation fails). On scheduling, the non-secure SW notifies the secure code, to activate the context for the thread to be scheduled. This results in setting the secure stack pointer to the desired context (hence the "prepare"). After the NS Scheduler returns to the thread, the Secure or the Non-Secure code continues execution, depending on whether Secure, or Non-Secure execution had been interrupted by the NS scheduling. Neither the single secure context design of the library model, and the above described design of the IPC model supports this approach, and that's why the semantics of the APIs in TF-M are different in TF-M.

Re: [TF-M] NS DATA Linker file

Hi Andrej, You seem to be right. In the current platforms NS_DATA_SIZE is defined as either of the following: * #define NS_DATA_SIZE (TOTAL_RAM_SIZE - S_DATA_SIZE) * #define NS_DATA_SIZE (TOTAL_RAM_SIZE / 2) Which means NS_DATA_SIZE Is the maximum available RAM for the NS Software. So the maximum available size of the RW and ZI data is decreased by the amounts you enumerate in your mail.

Hi Tamas, I have noticed today, that the PSA test suite has done several merges to its master branch. Based the PSA test-suit readme, it has switched to newer versions of the PSA API.

In TF-M the inclusion of key-id was bind to ATTEST_INCLUDE_TEST_CODE_AND_KEY_ID, which was split to two compile time switch (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3147<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Freview.tr…>) ATTEST_INCLUDE_COSE_KEY_ID and ATTEST_ INCLUDE_TEST_CODE.

Hi, TF-M version information is carried by manifest data, which is appended to the image in a post build step (at image signing): * Image header: Contains image actual version: 1.0.0 * Image TLV (footer): Can contains a dependency TLV entry which refers to the dependent image by an ID and its minimum version. Dependency verification: * At boot time the bootloader checks whether the dependency would be satisfies after a software upgrade. If not then it deny the update. * https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/docs/user_guide… At runtime there is no API to get the image version or its capability.

TrustZone initialisation procedure

by Reinhard Keil

Abhishek, A few days, I posted the reasons why MPC/PPC should not be used for level 3 isolation. Did you had a chance to read that? MPC/PPC implement system wide isolation. IMHO, reprogramming it for level 3 isolation should be not considered as it creates various problems for the system designer. You did also ask, how to ensure that security is actually enabled, basically if security has been initalized. The best approach would be to check if the SAU->CTRL is correctly set; if not the system should shut down. Reinhard

Re: [TF-M] TrustZone initialisation procedure

by Reed Hinkel

We need to be cognizant of the target usage and user base. The vast majority of usage is v8m in which case the HAL can be simple and targeted for TrustZone. Based on what I have witnessed other than the changes required to support dual/multicore usage. Why not offer a HAL option for TrustZone and one for dual/multicore? All the best!

Recent patches

I have just pushed a simple one liner for tools/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py, which keeps the generated #include file names using unix style paths, even if the files were generated on windows. In the past I have manually fixed up the paths on the generated #include lines in some of the files, but got bored and fixed the script instead. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3605 I also pushed a major (80 files) fix last night that cleans up most of the warnings when building with the IAR toolkit, which for now has more warnings enabled than ARMCLANG and GNUARM. This should make it easier to enable "pedantic" mode with GNUARM as well. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3594 Thomas -- *Thomas Törnblom*, /Product Engineer/ IAR Systems AB Box 23051, Strandbodgatan 1 SE-750 23 Uppsala, SWEDEN Mobile: +46 76 180 17 80 Fax: +46 18 16 78 01 E-mail: thomas.tornblom(a)iar.com <mailto:thomas.tornblom@iar.com> Website: www.iar.com <http://www.iar.com> Twitter: www.twitter.com/iarsystems <http://www.twitter.com/iarsystems>

Entry to TF-M

by Reinhard Keil

Hi, Today, I measured the call overhead on the function entry to TF-M is significant and will cause side effects for time deterministic MCU applications using the MDK debugger on STM32L5. Compiler: AC6.14 -oz (optimized for image size) TFM configuration: TFM_LVL=1, library mode, TFM_NS_CLIENT_IDENTIFICATION = OFF --- Execution time measurement: Function call of NS psa_open_key to corresponding secure function: NS: dispatch -> S: tfm_crypto_open_key 2135 cycles NS: dispatch -> S: psa_open_key 2536 cycles NS: psa_open_key -> S: psa_open_key 2825 cycles (this is with RTOS mutex overhead) tfm_core_sfn_request(const struct tfm_sfn_req_s *desc_ptr) { __ASM volatile( "PUSH {r4-r12, lr} \n" "SVC %[SVC_REQ] \n" <--- effectively disables interrupts for 1970 Cycles "MOV r4, #0 \n" On Musca (~48MHz) the overhead is 45us for a TF-M call. --- Code Size overhead: Each TFM function has the following flow: tfm_ns_interface_dispatch (this is a central function) #33 result = fn(arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3); -> calls each TF-M function with individual veneer tfm_core_partition_request (which is again central function) As function inlining is used, the each veneer requires 180 bytes. In my system there are 4 ITS and 46 Crypto functions; with the net result of ~10K code for just the veneer entries. Here are some suggestions: * Using a central entry point to TF-M could save ~10KB; I suggest a table driven approach (could be generated from "manifest" information). * In LVL1 isolation, why is it required to switch from NS: thread->S: handler->S: thread mode. Is it not possible to just call NS: thread-> S: thread? * Disabling NS interrupts for 1970 cycles will be problematic for many time critical applications that are ISR driven; some is caused by parameter checking: * current sequence: first check, then copied (which requires to disable interrupts); Better: First copy, then check could avoid ISR blocking. I hope this helps to improve TFM. Reinhard

memcpy variants

by Reinhard Keil

Just some minor observation: There are various variants of memory functions in tfm core * tfm_memory_utils.h defines a set of identical functions * tfm_core_utils.c/h has another set - functional equivalent with the C run-time library Why are these functions duplicated? It would be Ok if they address some additional security concerns (that I currently don't understand). But todays implementation just add complexity. Reinhard

TrustZone initialisation procedure

by Reinhard Keil

Hi Ken, Hi Jonatan, Here is how I see it: * PPC, MPC control system wide the access rights; DMA and other bus masters cannot bypass * SAU controls the access rights on the Processing Element * MPU controls the access rights within a execution domain (secure, non-secure) The setup for TF-M should be: * Isolation Level 1: static SAU, PPC, MPC setup * Isolation Level 2: adds static MPU setup (for privilege, non-privilege separation - could be reflected in PPC, MPC when it is supported by the device) * Isolation Level 3: dynamic MPU setup (depending on the service executed) Changing PPC, MPC setup dynamically does not make sense, as in most devices DMA could bypass TF-M. If this schema is acceptable, TF-M could always assume correct setup of Isolation level 1. A static #define could reflect that. If you think it should be different, please explain why a different schema would add further security to the overall system. Reinhard

So it is difficult to use the original TFM as a component, required for SDKs and CMSIS packs. For every combination of parameters is needed to create a separate project. As it is not possible, we have to choose one typical configuration. For example, if a user need to change from Isolation2&IPC to Isolation1&Lib, it is not enough to change configuration parameters, he/she must manually to add/delete source files in the project. The improvement request: - platform-independent TFM source-code file set must be fixed for any TFM project. - optional functionality must be covered by #ifdef - NOT by adding/deleting files. - allow to change configuration parameters using a user-config file (e.g. as it's done for mbedTLS/Cypto). All these has no conflict with CMAKE and brings no limits to TFM. Please, do not ignore it.

Re: [TF-M] PSA-Test Suite, 23 Crypto Tests failed

Hi Andrej, I will try to answer some of the questions. TF-M currently uses 3.0.1 tag of mbed-crypto and it has all the functions implemented in that version. We certainly need to be able to migrate to newer versions of mbed-crypto quicker and more easily. This is one of the things I will be looking into as part of the improving the crypto service implementation in TF-M. My current thoughts are that once mbed-crypto implements more of the other PSA crypto APIs, we could sync up TF-M to expose those APIs. > > They also need clarification about the PSA failed test: > > 1)ï¿½psa_asymmetric_encrypt does not have support for ECC keysï¿½ ï¿½ that's > true, the specification currently does not define any algorithm for > psa_asymmetric_encryptï¿½that uses ECC keys.

The problematic input can be seen here : https://github.com/ARM-software/psa-arch-tests/blob/master/api-tests/dev_ap… This is a mismatch between the test and the crypto implementation. PSA ACK test project had been notified. I will be following up with them. > > BTW: > > 1) ï¿½mbedCrypto does not use the PSA test suite for testing (they have > own tests).

Although syncing to every mbed-crypto release is too much of an overhead for TF-M and the current plan is to sync up once mbed-crypto has resolved a sizeable amount of unimplemented APIs. We are open to contributions in this regard. Currently, all of them are moving targets, the PSA ACK tests, TF-M, mbed-crypto and the PSA specification. The mbed-crypto is moving towards PSA 1.0 whereas the PSA-ACK tests are targeting PSA 1.0 Beta3. This creates some of the mismatches. Once the APIs have stabilized, it should be a matter of picking up the latest mbed-crypto tag and everything should work as expected.

Re: [TF-M] Call for a feedback on TF-M adaptation experience

Re: [TF-M] PSA-Test Suite, 23 Crypto Tests failed

by Andrej Butok

Hi, So, I have submitted the mbedCrypto issue https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/380 Several missed functions were implemented in the latest mbedCrypto. Please read the comment. They also need clarification about the PSA failed test: 1)"psa_asymmetric_encrypt does not have support for ECC keys" - that's true, the specification currently does not define any algorithm for psa_asymmetric_encrypt that uses ECC keys. What's the problem there? 2) For the incorrect key derivation error codes, what are the problematic inputs? 3) For "psa_generate_key generates incorrect key length for RSA", what are the problematic inputs? Could you clarify or this is the PSA-Test-Suite task? BTW: 1) mbedCrypto does not use the PSA test suite for testing (they have own tests). 2) PSA Test Suite does not inform mbedCrypto about found PSA issues. 3) TFM updates to the latest mbedCrypto have to be more often (ideally after each mbedCrypto release). 4) Better synchronization between the PSA Projects is needed.

Re: [TF-M] Call for a feedback on TF-M adaptation experience

by Kevin Townsend

Hi Anton, One particular difficulty I've encountered working with TF-M for the Zephyr certification demo app, and with the LPC55S69 port to upstream TF-M is the debugging experience with GDB and the dual execution environments. GDB can be quite powerful if you are familiar with it, but there is a definite learning curve, and the S and NS separation and the dual binary images (three with BL2) adds an additional degree of complexity. I think having a dedicated debugging tutorial around GDB would be very useful to people adopting TF-M and perhaps new to GDB, just to show how some basic debugging might happen, how to debug across the NS/S boundary, etc. For example, the '--tui' option for GDB may not be very well known, and it may be useful to highlight (see screenshots at the bottom of this issue: https://github.com/microbuilder/trusted-firmware-m/issues/1) Practical, step-by-step debugging documentation just seems like a good investment to help flatten this inevitable learning curve developing real-world solutions with TF-M?

Hi all, As Anton already announced during last TF-M Tech Forums, we have recently started a deep review initiative for the TF-M project, with main focus to improve User Experience and reduce Onboarding Effort. The team is currently focusing on the following topics: * Repository and Housekeeping * Development Environment * Build System * Source tree structure and Abstraction Layers * Coding Rules * Documentation * Continuous Integration * Testing We are fully aware of the vast area the topics above cover but, focusing on the basic principles mentioned above, we intend to conclude to implementable solutions. It is therefore of significant importance that your individual or team's onboarding experience is shared with us and this mailing list. Please share any feedback based on your experience using and/or enhancing TF-M.

TF-M (PSA-Level) Fuzzing Tool

by Gary Morrison

Hi TF-Mers! Sincere apologies for the short notice, but at the next TF-M Tech Forum (in a few hours from now!), I will do a short presentation on a TF-M Fuzzing Tool that I’ve been working on for 2-3 months. Currently, it’s just a prototype, and I’ve only tested SST functionality so far, but we’re hoping we can get it out into the open-source arena soon, and get a little more brain power into improving its capabilities. (Apologies also that it’ll be at 1AM my time, out here in Austin, so please bear with me if I sound a little groggy! 😊) Hope you can join us! -- Gary Morrison gary.morrison(a)arm.com Principal SW Engineer Arm, Inc.
