Re: [TF-M] [RFC] Code restructure of core/spm

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi, The first patch for moving header files is ready at: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1561 Comments are welcome. I had thought to push patches together but looks like it would block other patches for a while to show a neat merged list, so I would push them one by one. Will keep you update when incoming patches are ready.

Linker file changes for multi-core

by Christopher Brand

Please take a look at the patches I've put together to the linker files for multi-core. The fundamental issue that necessitates this change is that the ARMv6/v7 MPU is quite constrained in terms of configuration - the size has to be an exact power of 2, and the base address has to be aligned to the size. This means that we need to group data together in memory so that we can minimize the gaps that we have to introduce to meet the MPU* requirements. To that end, I've grouped all the privileged data together and grouped all the unprivileged data together, and introduced a new #define, S_DATA_UNPRIV_START, that (optionally, in multi-core only) allows the start address of the unprivileged secure data to be specified. This then enables configuring a single MPU region to cover all the unprivileged secure data. Note that only data sections are affected - code is left alone (mostly because the PSoC6 platform has so little Flash that we can't afford any padding at all). https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1731 groups the privileged data separate from the unprivileged https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1732 adds support for S_DATA_UNPRIV_START Thanks, Chris * In this email I've said "MPU". Technically it's the "SMPU (System Memory Protection Unit) on PSoC6, but that has the same limitations as the ARMv6 MPU.

Build system changes for dual core platforms

by Andrei Narkevitch

Hi, Please review the proposed build system changes. Intention of those is to lay groundwork for building TFM for dual core platforms (aka twincpu). The main problem of the existing build system is that it assumes that both tfm_s and tfm_ns run on the same core. In dual core systems secure and non-secure code runs on two independent cores. Each CPU core can be different in terms of architecture, configuration etc, and this adds the requirement of separating out secure and non-secure builds.. The patches basically do the following: * Introduce TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY, that distinguish single core and multicore builds. * Split secure and non-secure builds and build both in single building execution. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1747 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1748 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1749 Thanks, Andrei This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries.

Re: [TF-M] tfm_core_irq_signals array

by Miklos Balint

Hi Thomas, The first variable in a tfm_core_irq_signal_data_t structure is a partition_id. ID 0 is reserved and cannot be a valid entry in this array so it could, in theory, be checked for terminating the loop. I would argue, however, that having a compile time constant loop count variable is better from a performance and optimization point of view. If loop count is const 0 an optimizing compiler can eliminate the loop altogether while if the iteration count depends on the value of an entry in the array, it would be more unlikely to eliminate the unused loop. The key metrics that TF-M is currently measured against are memory footprint and to a lesser degree latency, and having the extra element in the array and the extra iteration in the loop are both sub-optimal in this respect. I do understand the need, however, to keep the constructs standard C and eliminate deviations. Those can lead to build errors or worse: unexpected runtime behaviour with a simple change in a compiler version or similar, so having a clean, standard, predictable code is essential. So thank you for your effort and yes, until and unless we find a more optimal way to get around this problem, please do introduce the proposed change, taking into possible consideration my first comment on helping the compiler detect the unused code.

Re: [TF-M] gcc linker script help

by Miklos Balint

Hi Chris, Please note that the master branch does support level 2 isolation, so the grouping of sections according to trust domains is already present both for gcc and armclang there. I suggest to refer to that implementation and work from that instead of re-doing it from scratch to avoid unnecessary bifurcation of linker scripts and scatter files for the two platform types. Isolation level 2 readiness was a non-trivial piece of work executed in Q2 so I'd hope that effort can be reused in the twincpu branch.

Debugger setup for MPS2+ AN521

by Kevin Townsend

tl;dr: unable to connect to MPS2+ AN521 with JLink and perform a soft reset to halt at NSPE init, and debug an init issue. Connect via SWD fails, connect via JTAG seems OK, but soft reset requests consistently fail, preventing meaningful debug/trace of the code. Looking for advice on known-good debug setup with GDB and Linux. Full explanation follows: I'm currently working on an application with the following setup: - TF-M (latest) running in the secure processing environment - Zephyr running in the NSPE - PSA FF APIs to communicate between PEs I've run into a HW problem with the UART peripheral that I need to debug, but using a J-Link has been problematic, and I was curious if anyone else has had any success with GDB or JLinkExe and the MPS2+. To debug, I currently do the following: - Copy a valid TF-M + Zephyr and BL2 image to the MPS2+ - Physically reset the MPS2+ (AN521) - Wait for the image to start up (based on serial output) - Connect the debugger - Attempt to reset I get the following output at connect (entering the 'connect' command at the J-Link prompt): NOTE: I've been unable to get SWD to work, and had to fall back to JTAG for the interface. ---------------------------------------- $ JLinkExe -device Cortex-M33 -if jtag -speed auto SEGGER J-Link Commander V6.44i (Compiled May 17 2019 17:38:03) DLL version V6.44i, compiled May 17 2019 17:37:52 Connecting to J-Link via USB...O.K.

Re: [TF-M] independent device driver model working along side SPM

by Miklos Balint

Hi Manoj, Please elaborate on the problem you are seeing and the steps you want to take so we can consider if it's something TF-M is in the process of addressing or if it is out of scope. On first read I feel there's a contradiction: The point of having TF-M - or any secure "supervising entity" - in the system is that it has awareness of the goings-on in the system, understands the states of parallel contexts that are supported by the hardware, to control its security aspects. Having a device driver "not plugged in TF-M" would, on the face of it, defeat the purpose of TF-M as a management entity, and the device driver would need not only to handle its own threat vectors, but any potential collisions with TF-M's understanding and control of the system state, making it, in effect, part of the management entity. So rather than the driver being not plugged in, I guess what we need to work out is how TF-M can be extended to cover the type of use case you are working on, without compromising the holistic security model that TF-M implements - but there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
