PSA arch tests with new PSA crypoto headers build issues

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I am trying to build psa-arch-tests for the latest master but I am getting these king of build errors: error: unknown type name 'psa_key_handle_t'; did you mean 'psa_handle_t'? 23 | static psa_key_handle_t public_key_handle; From what I can tell – psa arch tests have not yet been adapted to new PSA crypto headers. Am I correct? When can we expect this change to be available?

Build error for PSE84

by Chris.Brand＠infineon.com

Hi, I recently started seeing a build error for PSE84. "git bisect" tells me that it was introduced in c2fc818e. The error is from cmake, complaining about a circular dependency. The error message itself is extremely long, so I've attached it as a separate file. Chris

TF-M transition to TF-PSACrypto

by Anton Komlev

Hi everyone, We are happy to announce that TF-M has transitioned to a standalone PSA Crypto component (TF-PSACrypto), a major milestone in the project’s development. TF-PSACrypto provides a reference PSACrypto implementation that is separated from the MbedTLS project. There are a few known issues, including platform support, which we expect to address before the next TF-M release. Thanks to everyone involved in the development, review and testing, especially the PSA Crypto team for releasing TF-PSACrypto and David Vincze for adapting TF-M to it. As always, we welcome feedback from the community. Best regards, Anton

Race condition in SPM scheduler lock logic

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have found a bug in SPM scheduler lock logic – this bug is extremely hard to reproduce as it requires precise conditions and timings, but here is the description of the bug scenario: 1. Partition A calls psa_wait to wait for a signal (this signal is going to be asserted by FLIH IRQ later) 2. Currently signal is not asserted, no other partition is runnable, thus SPM marks this signal as being awaited and then schedules idle_thread 3. idle_thread calls psa_wait to poll SPM * psa_wait calls tfm_arch_thread_fn_call * tfm_arch_thread_fn_call calls backend_abi_entering_spm * backend_abi_entering_spm calls arch_acquire_sched_lock * arch_acquire_sched_lock sets scheduler_lock = SCHEDULER_LOCKED * psa_wait (called by idle_partition) is being processed up to the point of backend_abi_leaving_spm * backend_abi_leaving_spm calls arch_release_sched_lock * here is where very sneaky the bug happens * arch_release_sched_lock executes following assembly instructions i. "ldr r1, =scheduler_lock \n" "ldr r0, [r1, #0] \n" ii. At this point r0 holds scheduler_lock is = SCHEDULER_LOCKED iii. After these instructions are executed FLIH interrupt arrives * FLIH handler asserts signal (which should unblock execution of the Partition A) * spm_handle_interrupt calls backend_assert_signal * backend_assert_signal does if (p_pt->signals_asserted & p_pt->signals_waiting) and returns STATUS_NEED_SCHEDULE * spm_handle_interrupt calls arch_attempt_schedule * arch_attempt_schedule checks value of scheduler_lock (which is SCHEDULER_LOCKED) and sets scheduler_lock= SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED * Interrupt returns iv. Execution continues, now scheduler_lock is = SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED But the next line of code in arch_release_sched_lock is "movs r2, #"M2S(SCHEDULER_UNLOCKED)" \n"/* Unlock scheduler */ This effectively overwrites scheduler_lock from SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED to SCHEDULER_UNLOCKED This means that following SRM scheduling logic will not trigger PendSV and just return to idle_partition – effectively resulting in a hang of a system. Looks like the solution is to wrap lock logic in critical section. But may be there is other things that can be done to better fix this issue. Let me know if there are other details that may be helpful to fix this bug.

IAR build seems to be broken

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all I see that https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/44534 added tfm_s_build_flags for all the compilers except IAR After version update - in our CI we see: Fatal error[Ms007]: could not open file "libtfm_s_build_flags.a" Is this intentional change or IAR file was just missed and the change should also be added for IAR?

Upstreaming of MISRA fixes

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi, In our local copy of TFM we are running Coverity tools which performs MISRA, CERT-C and CODING static analysis checks on TFM codebase (I will refer to this as MISRA fixes for simplicity). During our development we did a bunch of fixes for the violations (not all rules but still significant number of changes). Most of these changes are small (e.g. U/UL postfixes, fixed width types usage, header file fixes etc…). When we do version updates or generally port code between upstream and local copy of TFM we have to deal with merge conflicts in these lines effected by MISRA fixes. To avoid these issues we would like to push these fixes upstream. There are quite a few changes and having everything in one patch will really simplify our work as we would not have to divide the changes. We would like to know whether creating one bigger patch with all the changes would be acceptable for the review?

[RD-V3 / rdv3r1] Question regarding Firmware Update Service support

by 박진국

Hello everyone, I am inquiring about the Firmware Update (FWU) service configuration on the *rdv3r1* (Neoverse RD-V3) platform. While building TF-M for the rdv3r1 target, I noticed that the *TFM Firmware Update Partition* is missing from the Secure Partitions list, even though I enabled the relevant CMake flags. Upon investigation, it seems that the build system is using the platform-specific manifest list located at: /tf-m/platform/ext/target/arm/rse/neoverse_rd/common/manifest/tfm_manifest_list.yaml Instead of the generic tf-m/tools/tfm_manifest_list.yaml. The issue is that the platform-specific manifest list appears to lack the definition for the FWU partition. Consequently, the files under generated/secure_fw/partitions/firmware_update/auto_generated are not being generated. Could you please clarify if the Firmware Update Service is currently not supported on the Neoverse RD environment? Or is there a specific configuration required to enable it? Thank you. Best regards, *JK Park*

Re: Handling the SAM partial write

by 김륜현

It seems that something issue occurs in mailing system. Anyway, i checked Amjad's answer in "Re: TF-M Digest, Vol 87, Issue 11".  Also, i checked M-AXI that can issue 64bit transaction for normal memory in Cortex-M55 TRM. As you mentioned, the core performs 32bit write-back and actual write to SRAM is performed as 64bit transaction using the cache and M-AXI between the 32bit core and the SRAM. But, another issue remains  Crypto Cell-312 internal DMA has hardware fixed 32bit data width. It raise partial write event when doing decryption to provisioning data. Example for this issue can be founded in validate_and_unpack_encrypted_bundle()(a)bl1_provisioning.c. To transfer decrypted output to SRAM, it uses internal DMA in CC312. Should i apply any way to workaround such as no using CC312 DMA or modifying bus width in our situation? Best Regards RH Kim ----- 원본 메시지 ----- 보낸 사람: 김륜현 <winxp4333(a)adtek.co.kr> 받는 사람: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org 날짜: 2026-01-09 14:40:45 제목: Handling the SAM partial write Hi all, I'm developing the RSE Firmware based on rdv3r1. I have a concern about the SAM(Security Alarm Manager). Refering to TRM and codes, for the handling SRAM partial write to sets a correct ECC value, it read of 64 bits from the captured address(SAM.VMPWCAn) and write the value back to memory at the captured address. After that, it clears the SAM captured address register and SAM event. In that scheme, for the 32bit architecture CM55, what correct it everytime seems very overhead and burden if using a SRAM area as data region like stack, heap. Because 32bit access frequently occurs in 32bit architecture. Should we avoid using SRAM as data region even though i have found the cases of using SRAM as data region like? Best Regards RH Kim
