Hi all, Two changes that have underwent multiple rounds of review and test were accidentally merged instead of being pushed for review and final approval. I was at fault, apologies for that. Additional tests of the changes flagged up no regression. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions, Thanks and regards Miklos

Re: [TF-M] Trusted boot - rollback protection

by David Brown

On Mon, Mar 11, 2019 at 01:43:19PM +0000, Tamas Ban via TF-M wrote: >Please see the following link for a design proposal on anti-rollback protection in trusted boot: > >https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_m/design/trusted_boot/rollback_p… Somewhat related, as I've been working through a prototype implementation of SUIT, the SUIT manifest also wants what they call a "sequence number", which is a monotonically increasing number associated with each version. They've kind of decided they don't want to have to do anything like semantic version parsing as part of the firmware upgrade. I think this sequence number serves the same purpose as this security counter (except that the sequence number is required to increase with each software relase). One of the goals of the MCUboot community is to make sure that however the SUIT manifest is implemented, it must be semantically the same as the existing TLV-format manifest. An easy solution is to just treat the existing version as a 32-bit number (ignoring the build-id, which I think is supposed to be the case, anyway). As far as the possibility of re-using the same security counter value, I don't think that is something that should be done. In general, it isn't possible to know where security bugs will be found in an image. If we always increase the security counter value, someone still running the immediately following image will be prevented from rolling back to the version with the security flaw, whereas if we reused the values, it might be necessary to try to force them to upgrade to a new version that has the counter increased. Also, I think it is important to clarify that the security counter is not required for anti-rollback, it only protects the anti-rollback implementation from a specific threat: something that is able to replace the primary firmware image outside of the control of the bootloader. The cost is that implementing a security counter generally requires specific hardware just for that purpose. An entirely software anti-rollback protects against other threats, including the common case of using the ordinary firmware upgrade process. David

Re: [TF-M] TFM and FreeRTOS

by Andrej Butok

Hello, So, the RTX was replaced by FreeRTOS (regression and psa-tests passed). Required changes: 1) Use CMSIS-FreeRTOS adapter from: https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS-FreeRTOS 2) Do not call os_wrapper_join_thread()/osThreadJoin() and do not use osThreadJoinable flag. It is not supported by FreeRTOS 3) Add missing osThreadExit(). 4) Add osDelay(1) to tfm_sst_run_test(), as FreeRTOS free some allocated resources only in the idle task. 5) Disable TFM_NS_CLIENT_IDENTIFICATION to avoid SVC conflict. 5) Other minor changes. Proposals for general TFM code: 1) Delete os_wrapper_join_thread()/osThreadJoin() as it is optional. It works without it and not supported by all RTOSes. 2) Add missing osThreadExit() to test_task_runner(). 3) Do not call each SST test in separate task, or to allow switching to idle task after each SST test. 4) Find other TFM_NS_CLIENT_IDENTIFICATION mechanism, which will not use SVC.

That means that secure services cannot differentiate between various non-secure threads, i.e. they would all be provided the same access policies when requesting secure services. This is in line with PSA Firmware Framework. As described in chapter 3.3.3 of PSA FF 1.0 beta Release 0, "In implementations where NSPE client_id values are provided by the SPM, the same negative client_id must be used for all connections." Note that according to that specification each connection and message would still have their own unique handles - see chapter 3.3.4. Note also that this does not impact the client ID assignments for secure partitions, so any service would be able to identify if it was called by a non-secure entity or a secure one, and if a secure one, then which one. Let me know if you need further assistance in this matter.

We may try to limit FreeRTOS to the case when it starts and runs only in non-secure world and its tasks will call secure world only via PSA/TFM API.

If I misunderstood your question, please ignore the following. In my very own opinion, FreeRTOS has a different concept of how to manage secure stack/context from TF-M does. FreeRTOS prefers to allocate and manage a dedicated secure stack/context for each non-secure task requiring secure service. In its implementation, each time when it does context switch, it invokes SVCalls to also switch the secure stack/context for the next non-secure task. FreeRTOS implements several own APIs to accomplish those functionalities. By contrast, TF-M as a trusted firmware, naturally, manages all the secure resource by its own. Therefore, there is no such dedicated stack in secure world mapping to each non-secure task. Currently, TF-M implements CMSIS RTOS thread context management APIs to execute some management work between non-secure world and secure world, on Armv8-M core. Hope it can hlep you.
