Partitions without manifest files are not linked correctly in L3

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

In isolation level 3 partitions code/data in linker script are gathered together and aligned using information from manifest files. Currently there are 2 partitions that are not using manifest files, and instead have hand written load_info.c files. These partitions are: NS agent trust zone and idle partition. When partition does not have manifest file then its code/data is not gathered together (as there is no manifest to provide needed information). This results in partition code/data being linked directly to SPM. Also code/data may be not correctly aligned (if platform requires special alignment for PSA/APP RoT partitions). For example if platform define custom TFM_LINKER_PSA_ROT_LINKER_DATA_ALIGNMENT, NS agent TZ and idle partitions stacks will not be aligned properly. This is a problem because resulting alignment is not sufficient for the platform, which means that functions that apply protections fail. I see several solutions to this problem: 1. Add alignment to stack of these special partitions. Both the start and the size of the stack should be aligned to satisfy alignment requirements. This is fairly easy fix with small amount of changes. The problem is that code/data of these partitions will still be located in SPM code/data sections which is not ideal solution. I would say this is bare minimum solution, just to make things work. 2. Better solution might be to move these special partitions to now use manifest files. The problem I see is that these partition use special priorities values which are not supported by manifest tool. Also NS Agent TZ uses special PID = 0, which I believe is also not supported by manifest tool. I think this is more time consuming fix but overall this should result in better and easier to understand code. Would be glad to hear a feedback on this topic.

tfm_hal_memory_symbols

by Chris.Brand＠infineon.com

Hi, I'm looking at https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git/commit/?id=df87… which added tfm_hal_memory_symbols.{c|h}, containing tfm_hal_sp_meta_start and tfm_hal_sp_meta_end. The former is used in backend_ipc.c, while the latter is unused. The commit message says "this is the first example of using defined symbols to get memory info" but that commit is over two years old now and there doesn't seem to be a second example. Is there still a plan to move in this direction? If so, can somebody outline what that involves? Thanks, Chris Brand Cypress Semiconductor (Canada), Inc.

Trusted Firmware-M Technical Overview document

by Joseph Yiu

Hi all, With a lot of helps from the TF-M team, I have prepared a Trusted Firmware-M Technical Overview document, available here: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/blog/TF-M-TechOverview/ In addition to various general concepts about Trusted Firmware-M, this document also introduces several new features in TF-M v1.7. Thanks to the TF-M team for their helps in preparing this document! :-) Regards, Joseph

Default implementation of tfm_ns_interface_dispatch()

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, While working on TFM TZ related stuff I have noticed that TFM docs/integration_guide/index.rst states that * On Armv8-M TrustZone based platforms, NS OS shall implement interface API ``tfm_ns_interface_dispatch()`` to integrate with TF-M implementation of PSA APIs. But currently neither CMSIS RToS nor FreeRToS implements this function, also there is no default implementation for bare metal case. So currently it is user responsibility to implement this function. Also currently for TFM tests it is implemented in test repository (<tf-m-tests repo>/ app/tfm_ns_interface.c). I think this is bad user experience because each user have to implement this function. I think TFM should provide implementation of this function for most common use cases (for example, CMSIS RToS, AWS FreeRToS, bare metal, ...). Files with implementation should be installed during build process. Default implementations will cover most of use cases and will fit for majority of the users. This way TFM will be more user friendly. What are your thoughts on this topic? Will TFM accept such a patch? Regards, Bohdan Hunko Cypress Semiconductor Ukraine Engineer CSUKR CSS ICW SW FW Mobile: +38099 50 19 714 Bohdan.Hunko(a)infineon.com<mailto:Bohdan.Hunko@infineon.com>

Fw: Re: GCC build error of PSA Arch test with TF-M V1.6.0 and TF-M V1.7.0

by Edward Yang

Hi all, Thanks for your helpful advice, yes, the build error caused by Ubuntu own GCC compiler. I just relink the gcc to GCC 4.8.5 instead of GCC 5.2 (both GCC versions are installed in my Ubuntu environment), then build succeed. Best Regards, Poppy Wu ��ƫƫ Macronix Microelectronics (Suzhou) Co.,Ltd "Bohdan.Hunko--- via TF-M" <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> 2023/02/10 04:58 Please respond to Bohdan.Hunko(a)infineon.com To <Anton.Komlev(a)arm.com>, <David.Hu(a)arm.com>, <Summer.Qin(a)arm.com>, <edwardyang(a)mxic.com.cn>, <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> cc Antonio.DeAngelis(a)arm.com, Ken.Liu(a)arm.com, Kevin.Peng(a)arm.com, nd(a)arm.com Subject [TF-M] Re: GCC build error of PSA Arch test with TF-M V1.6.0 and TF-M V1.7.0 Hi all, I think I know what the problem is. I believe it is related to the problem I have reported earlier in mailing thread https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.… Problem occurs during built of psa_generate_database target. The same was reported by me in the mailing thread. The only difference is that I used Windows. So I have investigated the problem and found the solution, hope it will help you. Turns out PSA arch tests use native platform compiler (e.g. GCC for windows) to compile some generated files and then these compiled files are used in the rest of the build using compiler for arm platform. <psa-arch-tests>/api-tests/CMakeLists.txt adds External project (ExternalProject_Add()) which generates the device database that is needed for the rest of the build. As I said psa_generate_database built invokes native compiler, so call to cc1 is not the call to gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.3.1/cc1, it is a call to linux native cc1 compiler (to compile given .c file to be executed on Linux) I have installed llvm-mingw and added its bin folder to PATH and this fixed the problem. I think GCC (or other native compilers) will also work. Looks like ARM TF-M team has native compiler installed on their working machines so arch tests build works right away. So my suggestion is to install linuz native cc1 compiler and add it to the PATH Please let me know if this fixed the problem.

I am not sure about the specific solution for this, can only suggest to: 1. Make sure that cc1 is part of your toolchain installation 2. PATH is set correctly You can also check if this happens with the default build (i.e. not with PSA Arch tests). In case this is specific to PSA Arch test build, suggest to check with them directly.

SPM source and internal function changes

by Ken Liu

Hello, There would be some changes to SPM sources and functions in these two months. The intention is to provide more abstraction and size optimization for SPM. Some details are: - Create dedicated sources for specific functionality, which could be selected by the configuration system. This could make out an efficient configuration result for easier integration. - Reduce the interfaces exposed between external and internal modules. Such as using only signals to connect thread and ffm logic. There are some ongoing patches for reference: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/19263 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/19073 You can find more related patches from these two above. Comments or contributions are warmly welcome! BR /Ken
