Re: [TF-M] Simplify RTOS / TF-M interface (single thread execution)

by David Wang (Arm Technology China)

The current RTOS integration with TZ API support is to make it generic. You can use "empty" implementation for these API if you don't use multiple secure context (SFC or IPC model) and have no multiple NS client IDs requirements. Besides that, the users can leverage TZ API for some other purposes, e.g. policy control for which NS task can access which secure partitions and etc. But that's quite use case specific. Just FYI.

Re: [TF-M] Create another branch for feature development

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi, Hi, I agree, the CI shall not dictate how we use the version control system. It shall adapt. Regarding your suggestions, I think the main problem is we are mixing stuff, this time quality with version control. Before we make decisions we shall understand where we are. The current quality policy is that we only make releases for communication purposes. To give a clean interface for tf-m users and to allow planning their work. Releases allow them to execute their tf-m integration process less frequently. Only for each release or specific releases and not for each commit. The current quality policy identifies a single quality level only, and says any patch we publish is "golden quality", it matches the highest quality standard we can achieve (with sane constraints). Also to make our life easy we decided to use the master branch to hold these patches. At the same time we use the master branch for development. Any change we make is made against master. This means each pull request and thus each review targets master. For review purposes the best is to have a chain of small modifications, otherwise the review content becomes too large to follow. The TF-A "branching strategy" tries to address this issue by introducing an integration branch used for development. This allows master to be more release specific. I suggest to take the following approach (details to be discussed): - introduce more quality levels i.e.: - none: content of a topic branch, or content pushed to review. - bronze: content passed code review and patch specific testing. - silver: content passed a more though daily testing. - gold: a release. A pack of source-code, feature state document (release notes), reviewed documentation (user manual, reference manual), test evidence, documentation of test efforts to allow repeatability. The version control system can be used to store content, and to provide identification info (i.e. tagging), but most likely the release will need other kind of storage to be used (i.e. documentation). - platina: reaching extra quality level trough passing PSA or some FUSA qualification. Or we may simply use extra release for this. Naming the quality levels allows us to have a cleaner definition of what can be expected at a specific level (set of quality measures, i.e. static analysis, code review, test configuration). It would also allow us cleaner communication and to find how we use the version system for quality purposes. I also expect this discussion to help defining how the version system is used for development purposes. The current state works ok, but is a sort of naturally grown. We might have reached the point when more pragmatic approach may be needed. /George -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Minos Galanakis via TF-M Sent: 13 December 2019 12:23 To: Edison Ai (Arm Technology China) via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org>; Soby Mathew <Soby.Mathew(a)arm.com> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] Create another branch for feature development Hi all. My personal comments on this. I would like to point out that the CI is a tool, not the core project. I do not believe we should be changing our development strategy based on what the tool is doing.

If I were to suggest some changes for stability purposes, I would start smaller: * Update documentation to instruct users to check out from release tags, warning then that master is constantly changing. * Adjust the CI to detect an Allow-CI flag from every branch. That way developers can test any patch from any feature branch. The logic for that is already present in the code, but requires Gerrit to be configured accordingly. * Add an undo process.

Re: [TF-M] Simplify RTOS / TF-M interface (single thread execution)

by Reinhard Keil

Ken, Thanks for your reply. Let me summarize what I have understood: TF-M SFC mode: * Allows only one thread at the time to call secure services. * When secure services are called recursively (multiple threads) TF-M goes into 'panic' state. This should not happen with proper mutex locks. * TZ RTOS Context Management interface is only required when "Client Oriented Policy" is used. I have updated the diagram to reflect what I have understood. Obviously the SVC would be only executed when the call into "secure" is from Thread mode. Is my understanding correct? (diagram is also under: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T615) - I just realized that you made a similar picture). [cid:image003.jpg@01D5B197.BE352670] The initial question can be then refined to: * TZ RTOS Context management is only needed when "Client Oriented Policy" is used. * When and why is "Client Oriented Policy" a requirement on v8-M systems? * Is there a way to disable ""Client Oriented Policy" in the current TF-M Core? * This applies for both the TF-M firmware itself and the related test suite. * What happens worst case when an RTOS does not implement TZ RTOS Context Management?

Re: [TF-M] Simplify RTOS / TF-M interface (single thread execution)

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Reinhard, Guess this diagram for a long time ago design since the latest version there is no need for NS SVC. (Check diagram attached in the ticket). I think the existing library model implementation is almost the one you described, just some points: - We use a secure SVC in SPM for sanitization input/output buffers. - We do secure partition maintenance in SPM (forward call, maintain state). The TZ API implementation under SFC is for the purpose that some services have bound the client with policies so they need to know which client is calling. It can be skipped if there is no such client-orient policy. And one thing to mention, even we propose to use locks in RTOS for locking the interface, there would be a chance that some RTOS has a limitation on these lock APIs, or someone just acts as an attacker who skips the necessary locking operations, then we need to provide some detection in the secure side as countermeasures, and this part needs to be documented to remind users that, please make sure there is only one ongoing secure call or a panic is generated. Then it would be RTOS' choice to decide if they want to avoid this panic by locking. /Ken -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Reinhard Keil via TF-M Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2019 11:22 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Simplify RTOS / TF-M interface (single thread execution) As the picture got lost, I did create also https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T615 This contains the picture Reinhard IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

MPU issues, was Re: Regression test issues with IAR port

by Thomas Törnblom

Next issue. For some reason the secure image runs into a MemManage exception fairly early in the irq test of the ConfigRegressionIPCTfmLevel2 config and I have not yet been able to figure out why. It happens in the psa_wait() call in: --- int32_t tfm_irq_test_1_init(void) { tfm_enable_irq(SPM_CORE_IRQ_TEST_1_SIGNAL_TIMER_0_IRQ); #ifdef TFM_PSA_API psa_signal_t signals = 0; while (1) { signals = psa_wait(PSA_WAIT_ANY, PSA_BLOCK); --- The exact point of the exception is the SVC call in: --- __attribute__((naked, section("SFN"))) psa_signal_t psa_wait(psa_signal_t signal_mask, uint32_t timeout) { __ASM volatile("SVC %0 \n" "BX LR \n" : : "I" (TFM_SVC_PSA_WAIT)); } --- The cause is IACCVIOL, "The processor attempted an instruction fetch from a location that does not permit execution." The stack frame indicates that it happened on the SVC instruction, but I as far as I can see none of the MPU regions maps the address so I assumed it should be allowed as it should be handled by the background map, which should allow secure access. If I don't enable the mpu (just skipping the enable call) then all tests run without problems. I have tried to compare it with an image built with ARMCLANG, and I don't see anything obviously different. The regions are roughly the same, all regions with fixed addresses are the same, the enable bits are the same and the SVC handler is not mapped to any MPU region there either. I wish there were an MPU status register that would tell exactly what region was causing the exception. The odd thing is that there is an SVC call in the tfm_enable_irq() call prior to the psa_wait() call, and that works. This is on a Musca A by the way.

TF-M Technical Forum call - 19th December

by Anton Komlev

Hello, To continuing our open discussion, started a week ago let me propose the 2nd session and create this mail thread to discuss related topics. 1. The time slot. Looking on participants' distribution [Asia:6, Europe:20, US East:1, US Cent:1, US West:4, Total:32] I see the majority is in Europe. The Asian region could be more presented giving a more comfortable time. Having this in mind, I would propose to have the 2nd session on Dec 19 at 7:00 UTC time. This compromise gives US West coast a chance to join at 23:00 (Dec 18!). Here is the summary: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2019&month=… Please share your thoughts and alternatives. The related question: shall we fix the time or rotating? You can play with the time slot here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=19&month=12&yea… 2. Agenda as a proposal - The interrupts' topic was followed by email and looks like closed. Are there remaining points for discussion? - TF-M and Amazon FreeRTOS integration update - Cryptocell integration - ? Best regards, Anton Komlev

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Secure Interrupt handling - RE: TF-M technical Forum slides and recording

by DeMars, Alan

Ken, Task scheduling (context switching) in our RTOS is always performed in thread mode, even when asynchronous pre-emption occurs resulting from an ISR readying a higher priority task. All kernel-managed interrupts are routed to a common interrupt dispatcher that, just prior to returning from an interrupt, will invoke the task scheduler when it determines that there are no more interrupts pending and there is scheduling work to do. In that case, an artificial interrupt context is created so that thread mode can be "returned to" from handler mode. The task scheduler is then invoked in thread mode from the stack of the pre-empted task. Regarding secure interrupts, our use cases only employ secure interrupts as a consequence of a psa_call() initiating a process that completes when an interrupt goes off sometime later. Rather than spin-waiting for the interrupt-completion signal, or parking in a WFI, we simply return from the psa_call() with a special return code indicating that the process has started and that the calling thread will be notified of completion by the secure callback mechanism I described at the conference in Lyon. The calling thread then pends on a semaphore. When the secure interrupt goes off later on, a dedicated non-secure interrupt is triggered that ultimately ends up posting the semaphore that the NS thread is pended on. Upon returning from the pend, the NS thread then re-enters the SP (using psa_call()) to complete the transaction.

I want to use this thread to follow up on the topic 'secure interrupt' given in the 1st tech forum. That is a prologue of the scheduler and interrupt designs. And I do see there are some use cases that I did not focus on, so I want to collect more user scenarios first, and then try to enhance the drafting design (will be published after I updated it base on your inputs). About the secure interrupt usage: - A secure interrupt would be introduced by a secure service call in general; is there any scenarios that there would be an interval secure interrupt since secure service want to do something? For example, a secure timer triggers to let secure service has the chance to do things in the background (not for an ongoing secure call from NSPE) after a period of time? And the question about the system Alan mentioned, just want to confirm if it is a pure thread mode scheduling system? How does the system handle interrupts?

Hi all, I submit a patch set to extract the duplicated identical template files dummy_xxx.c from targets and put them under platform/ext/common/template folder. The purpose is to collect a common template of booting/attestation example for platforms and each platform doesn't need to keep a copy under its folder anymore. Since it is a general change related to all platforms using template files, I'd like to ask for review here. Any comments would be appreciated. Please check the patch details in https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22template_plat_files%22+(statu… The background is described in https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T539.

Re: [TF-M] Create another branch for feature development

Hi Gyorgy, Thanks to point it out. I agree with you that it will be better if we can align these two projects in this. I had a quick check the branches from TF-A: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/. There are three branches in TF-A: - "integration" branch, should be used for new features. - "master" branch, which is behind of "integration" branch. But I am nor sure what is the strategy to update it. - "topics/epic_beta0_spmd", I thinks it should like a feature branch for big feature. @Soby Mathew Could you help to share more information about it? Thanks very much. Hi David W, Thanks for your comments. For your first comment, I will say yes. Sorry to give the CI problem as a reason. For your second comment, I think we can use " git merge <commit-id>" to merge up to a special commit of dev to the master branch. In this, we do not need to freeze the patch merging. Maybe other methods to do it. Sorry, I am not a git expert, please correct me if it is wrong. I agree with you that we need to think clearly about it.

Thanks for raising that. A few comments: >> * Reduce the risk to broke the master branch directly especial when the CI cannot work rightly. This reason of creating dev branch seems like a workaround as CI is not stable. >> * We can use the "master" branch only for release, and in this, we do not need to freeze the patch merging when preparing the release. If we don’t have the feature branches you proposed, then the problem seems to be the same. It's because dev branch is acting as the master branch and the release(master) branch get "git fast-forward" to a point of dev branch when doing the release. Then we still can't stop merging the unnecessary patches in the release unless we do manual rebase which is not what we wanted. For feature branches, I think it's a good idea but we need to make a process/policy about how/when to create the branches, who maintain the branches and the timing of merging this feature. This could align with the roadmap and release plan, e.g. next release will include a few features/bugfixes which are in corresponding branches. Just share my thoughts.

The main point does not break a stable branch, it could be the "master" branch or "release" branch. Your suggest is good for it will not conflict with our current patches(upstream to the master branch). But the users may be more like to fetch code from the master branch for a stable version.

Hotfix for GNUARM linker script

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi all, I uploaded a hotfix to fix a issue in GNUARM linker script. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2767 The XXX_ATTR_FN label is named as XXX_LD_ATTR_FN for Application RoT Secure Partitions in GNUARM linker script. Thus GNUARM cannot get the dedicated section address to place the XXX_ATTR_FN section defined in the source code. It may cause linking error and crash during running. Please help review the patch. Any comment is welcome and will speed up the fix. Thank you. Best regards, Hu Ziji

Re: [TF-M] Create another branch for feature development

Secure Interrupt handling - RE: TF-M technical Forum slides and recording

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Thank Bill for updating this. I want to use this thread to follow up on the topic 'secure interrupt' given in the 1st tech forum. That is a prologue of the scheduler and interrupt designs. And I do see there are some use cases that I did not focus on, so I want to collect more user scenarios first, and then try to enhance the drafting design (will be published after I updated it base on your inputs). About the secure interrupt usage: - A secure interrupt would be introduced by a secure service call in general; is there any scenarios that there would be an interval secure interrupt since secure service want to do something? For example, a secure timer triggers to let secure service has the chance to do things in the background (not for an ongoing secure call from NSPE) after a period of time? And the question about the system Alan mentioned, just want to confirm if it is a pure thread mode scheduling system? How does the system handle interrupts?

Adding Cypress PSoC64 platform support

by Christopher Brand

Hi, I recently pushed patches to add support for a platform based on Cypress' PSoC64 SoC to gerrit. Given that this is the first non-Arm platform to be posted, it seems worth drawing attention to. Comments very much appreciated. I do anticipate a few small updates to the patchset, even in the absence of comments. In particular, there are some documentation improvements to come. There are four patches in total, ending with https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2728 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2725/1 adds files to the platform/ext/cmsis directory, and so will affect/be affected by https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2578 Thanks, Chris This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries. If it has been received in error, please advise the sender and immediately delete this message.

Re: [TF-M] Regression test issues with IAR port

by Jamie Fox

Hi Thomas, Looks to me like the call to psa_ps_get() is retrieving the data set by psa_ps_set() in tfm_sst_test_1018_task_1(). This shouldn’t happen, because the two task functions are run in two different threads, which should have different client IDs. Can you check the client ID returned by tfm_core_get_caller_client_id() in tfm_sst_set_req() and tfm_sst_get_req() in each case? They should be different. Kind regards, Jamie From: Thomas Törnblom <thomas.tornblom(a)iar.com> Sent: 02 December 2019 22:50 To: Jamie Fox <Jamie.Fox(a)arm.com>; Minos Galanakis <Minos.Galanakis(a)arm.com> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] Regression test issues with IAR port Hi Jamie, From tfm_sst_test_1018_task_2(): --- ... uint8_t read_data[] = READ_DATA; status = psa_ps_get(uid, offset, data_len, read_data); if (status != PSA_PS_ERROR_UID_NOT_FOUND) { TEST_FAIL("Get should not succeed with invalid thread name"); return; } /* Check that read data has not been modified */ if (memcmp(read_data, READ_DATA, sizeof(read_data)) != 0) { TEST_FAIL("Read data should not have changed"); return; } ... --- The call to psa_ps_get() returns 0, which is a failure in this test. Out of curiosity I stopped right after this call and I notice that the read_data array had been clobbered and now starts with the string "THEQUICKBROWNFOX". This appears to happen in the following call chain: sst_object_read() -> sst_req_mngr_write_asset_data() -> memcpy() As there is a test that the data has not been clobbered after the return, I suspect that the two issues are related. sst_req_mngr_write_asset_data() uses a global variable p_data as the destination for the memcpy() call, and this variable gets set in the call chain tfm_core_sfn_request() -> tfm_sst_get_req() I see that the "info" argument in tfm_sst_test_1019_task_2() is also clobbered after the call to psa_ps_get().

Cheers, Thomas Den 2019-11-28 kl. 17:37, skrev Jamie Fox: Hi Thomas, We use prebuilt RTX binaries from the CMSIS_5 repo, which does make debugging RTX code more difficult. Before we go down that route, it's worth checking that the error isn't in TF-M I think. Just looking at the errors you are getting, the most likely explanation to me is that something has gone wrong with registering the mapping from RTX thread name to NS client ID. Your first failure is on line 936 of test/suites/sst/non_secure/psa_ps_ns_interface_testsuite.c for example, which checks that one thread cannot access the uid belonging to a different thread. This could happen, for example, if the two threads ended up with the same client_id due to some error in the mapping. The mapping is done by tfm_nspm_register_client_id() in interface/src/tfm_nspm_api.c, which is called by test_task_runner() in test/suites/sst/non_secure/ns_test_helpers.c at the start of the execution of each SST test thread. Could you check that tfm_nspm_register_client_id() is getting the correct client ID for each test thread? Also, it calls a function with the " __attribute__ ((naked))" attribute. As this is a compiler extension could there be some problem there?

X.509 Certificate Chain Support in TF-M

by Kevin Townsend

Hi, As part of some of our work on TF-M, specifically around attestation, device provisioning and firmware management, we've been reviewing some of what various companies are currently doing or requiring during the provisioning process (whether provisioning at the manufacturing phase, or provisioning devices into cloud or similar services post manufacturing). The common thread in almost all of these scenarios is the use of X.509 certification chains when working with the public key(s) held on the end device. At Linaro, we've been thinking through some of the benefits and tradeoffs of migrating from the current approach of exposing unsigned public keys for things like initial attestation and signing firmware, and what would be required to allow the signing of the attestation/firmware keys on devices, and generating new keys such as provisioning a device onto an Amazon/Google/Microsoft cloud service which would require creating a new private key held in secure storage, and storing the signed certificate chain associated with that new private key for on-demand retrieval. - Some of the initial thinking and imagined benefits of migrating to X.509 certificate chains are described here: https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/rfc_tfm.md - Some general notes on X.509 certificates are available here: https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/README.md - And here are two scripts showing how to create 2 and 3 level certificate chains, just as a proof of concept to better understand how this might work with something like TF-M: - https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/2lev_cert_cr… - https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/3lev_cert_cr… Specifically, they key missing aspects to enable the use of standard X.509 certificates are: - Update mcuboot to understand a certificate chain -- rather than the raw public key -- when verifying firmware images - Generating PKSC#10 (RFC2986) certificate signing requests on the secure side, using a securely held private key during the request generation process - Generate new private keys and store them in secure storage for non-attestation uses like cloud services, and retrieve the associated and signed cert chains for that key on demand A proposal of how this might work in the real world is shown here, with the TF-M secure code requrements in the 'opt' box of the sequence diagram: https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/rfc_tfm.md#c… We don't have a full TF-M proof of concept ready yet, but wanted to put the idea on the table of migrating to X.509 certificate chains while we work on a proof of concept, and continue analysis of how provision at manufacturing and in the field (to cloud services, etc.) can be improved. Any feedback/concerns is welcome here or perhaps in the Github repo above until a specific change request can be prepared for TF-M. Best regards, Kevin Townsend

What does the out of tree build currently support is that: The user uses the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py with the custom manifests to generate the customized files to a directory out of TF-M. And the TF-M build system uses the customized files rather than the pre-generated ones in the TF-M for building. The problem is that some of the source files include the generated headers using the relative path to where the source itself is. And the directory of the source file is always searched first. This makes it impossible to use the generated files outside TF-M even the custom output directory is added to searching list. So I suggest to put the generated files to a dedicated directory in TF-M. Then for the default build, add the directory and its subdirectories to the search list for headers. For out of tree build, use the specified directory and its subdirectories instead. Then there would only one header file with the same name in all the directories for searching headers. Any concerns, thoughts or suggestions?

Otherwise, the user is required to update the source tree’s tfm_manifest_list.yaml and tfm_generated_file_list.yaml files to build a custom SPE, with the generated files also ending up in the source tree. The files necessary to create a custom SPE should not be kept in the source tree. Nor should the generated content be inserted in the source tree.

TF-M Technical Forum call - 5th December

by Bill Fletcher

Hi all, As mentioned in the TF-M workshop in Lyon last month, we propose to kick off the TF-M Technical Forum meeting, starting on the 5th December. This is an open forum for anyone to participate and it is not restricted to TF members. It will operate under the guidance of the TF TSC. - Due to expected attendees from Asia, Europe and the Americas, the timeslot is challenging. We hope it's not too difficult for anyone - we can review after the first couple of meetings. - Initially we propose a bi-weekly call and then we'll change cadence depending on interest For more details of the call click on the Google Calendar image at https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-m-technical-forum/ Best regards -- [image: Linaro] <http://www.linaro.org/> *Bill Fletcher* | *Field Engineering* T: +44 7833 498336 <+44+7833+498336> bill.fletcher(a)linaro.org | Skype: billfletcher2020

TF-M RC3 release

by Tamas Ban

Hi, A new tag TF-Mv1.0-RC3 was created last Friday. The main change since RC2 is that it provides support for integrated Cryptocell-312 cryptographic hardware accelerator on MuscaB1e platform. This enables TF-M to make use of Cryptocell-312 (CC-312) for crypto acceleration during Secure boot and runtime. TF-M is also can use the provisioned HUK (Hardware Unique Key), Attestation key and RoTPK (Root of Trust Public Key) in Cryptocell's OTP memory. Tamas

Re: [TF-M] PSA Certification without PS?

by Shebu Varghese Kuriakose

Hi Andrej/Kevin, Pasting the ;Secure Storage' Security Function Requirement below from the PSA Certified Level2 Protection Profile* It doesn’t specifically mention Protected Storage and Internal Trusted Storage Service as a requirement. As long as the Target of Evaluation can prove that the confidentiality and integrity of assets in Secure Storage can be maintained, the requirement can be met. PSA defines Protected Storage (PS)** and Internal Trusted Storage (ITS)**. PS is meant to store larger data sets stored on external flash and ITS for device intimate data stored on chip flash storage. If the device doesn’t have an on chip flash storage, maybe it is still possible to just use PS implementation using external flash to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the secret assets on the platform. @Marcus Streets<mailto:Marcus.Streets@arm.com> – Could you please share your thought on this >>> 5.3 F.SECURE_STORAGE The TOE protects the confidentiality and integrity of assets in a secure storage. The secure storage is bound to the platform. Only the TOE can retrieve and modify assets from this secure storage. This security function mitigates T.STORAGE by preventing direct and unprotected access to assets. >>> Regards, Shebu * https://www.psacertified.org/app/uploads/2019/02/JSADEN002-PSA_Certified_Le… ** https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/pdf/PlatformSecurityArchitecture/Im… -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Andrej Butok via TF-M Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2019 7:50 AM To: Kevin Peng (Arm Technology China) <Kevin.Peng(a)arm.com> Cc: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] PSA Certification without PS?

Thinking to move this static defined svc codes into an array-based function table. The pros are, the svc code set for different configurations is configurable, we don't need any #ifdef inside the svc numbers but rely on the configuration provided svc headers, and these headers are used inside configuration logic. And the overall svcall logic does not need to know the exact number definition but just do a f[num].func() call. The cons... I think the only thing is table may be out of date and cause a potential problem? or some function has only <4 parameter but we have to define a f(a0,a1,a2,a3) type function and fill extra parameter as zeros? This won't improve the execution efficiency if the svc numbers are continuous since compiler uses 'TBB' to create a mapping table while processing switch/case, so we can skip this point while talking pros. Welcome to comment or propose patches for this.

Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies?

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi, Build environment provisioning (and dependency management) is a larger topic and sub-modules can only solve a small part of it. There is definitely room for improvement in this area, but as far as I can see sub-modules are a sub optimal answer. Some of the issues which came to my mind: 1. The user experience of sub-modules is sometimes quirky. For example it is a headache if you have to switch between branches where one of the branches does not have a specific sub-module. 2. With sub-modules you can not have complex dependencies. I.e.: when one platform needs a dependency and another not, or you need two version of a dependency, or a different version for two platforms. 3. It is easy to see on what the repo having the sub-module depends, but the other direction is not. It is hard to see what is using a module. 4. The validness of tests are limited if you use source code. Longer term it would be nice to allow using tested binaries of tf-m dependencies and sub-modules can not handle this need. 5. Flexibility. If we use sub-modules, then the version control and the dependency handling "layers" get bounded. For tf-m developers this might not be an issue but for integrators it can be. Can you please explain the problem you see a bit more? Zephyr is using cmake and you could use the External_project or the FetchContent module to get all needed dependencies. Also nothing really stops you to use sub-modules in the Zephyr repo to get tf-m and all it's dependencies. /George -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Kevin Townsend via TF-M Sent: 26 November 2019 19:23 To: Kumar Gala <kumar.gala(a)linaro.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies? Hi, I'm reviving an old thread (sorry, probably bad form), but we're running into this issue again now with Zephyr (and probably with FreeRTOS later) where we need to produce a TF-M 'module' got Zephyr that we can include in the zephyr github repo. With the current approach for TF-M, we will have to produce 5 forks of the 5 projects/dependencies, which seems superfluous versus a single 'master' TF-M repo with the four dependencies as sub-modules, and I can't see why technically this would be more of a challenge for end-users (you can even init the submodules at the same time you clone the parent TF-M repo so it's actually LESS work), and means a single repo where all of the dependency versions can change over time in sync with the various releases. I may be missing or misunderstanding an obvious technical drawback made earlier, but I haven't understand why submodules are less desirable than 1+4 independent repos both for TF-M and any projects on the RTOS side depending on it?

Coding guideline

by Tamas Ban

Hi, I would like to open a conversation about TF-M coding guideline<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/docs/coding_gui…>. I have these proposals: * Change the rule of the 80 character column width: * Max 80 characters length. * Column length is max 80 character in first place, but there are exceptions when length could be MAX 120 character: * Degrades code understandability: short, obscured variable names; awkward line breaks * Maximum 1% of the lines can exceed 80 charter length. * Might remove this rule, because in many cases we are not complaint with it. For example PSA Crypto API: o Order function parameters so that input params are before output params. o https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/interface/inclu… I'm interested in your opinions! Other rules also can be revisited! Tamas

Would you please check the details below and share your opinions? Any suggestion or feedback will be very helpful. In current platform folder structure, all the targets are listed together at the same level under `target` folder. Platform |-- ext |-- . |-- target_xxx.cmake |-- . |-- target_zzz.cmake |-- target |-- mps2 |-- musca_a |-- . A drawback is that, there are many duplicated files in those targets folders. It may become difficult to maintain the target support when targets, platforms, drivers and features continue growing. - A platform may have a series of variants. If each variant target folder has to contain a copy of platform drivers or library, it is difficult to align and maintain the duplicated drivers. - All targets belonging to the same platform contain the duplicated common operation files or configurations, such as HUK, NV counter and platform configurations. A small change has to be applied to multiple identical files. To solve the duplicated files management issue, I'd propose to insert partner folders under `target` and move the targets under the partner folder. The proposed structure looks like the following: Z` The ideas behind the proposal: - It is more close to the platform support structure in popular RTOSs. It can be more convenient for partners to port platform support to TF-M from existing projects. - Common drivers and operations implementations can be gathered into partner/platform specific folder. Thus each partner/platform folder doesn't have to hold a duplicated copy. - It is easier for partners to fully organize and maintain their platform folders with full permission. More layers can be added under a specific partner folder, such as diverse platforms. - Put the target specific cmake config file back into the target folder. It can make the `platform` folder much more clear.

Re: [TF-M] Including board-specific libraries in TF-M

by Tamas Ban

Hi Kevin, Currently there is no established pattern how to link a library to secure code on platform level. Currently only services and crypto libraries are built as libraries but not platform code. I think the suggested solution (put a `target_link_libraries` entry in that platform/ext/*.cmake file) is feasible, because the platform level cmake files are included by the secure_fw/CMakeList.txt (through CommonConfig.cmake) and in this way the library will be linked to secure code. We have similar solution in case of CC312 library integration: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2526/6/platform… Tamas -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Kevin Townsend via TF-M Sent: 25 November 2019 16:47 To: Thomas Törnblom via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] Including board-specific libraries in TF-M Hi, While working on upstreaming support for a new MCU in TF-M, I've bumped into a requirement to link against an external library that's required for the device init sequence. I may (or may not) be able to remove this dependency, but is there currently a cross-platform mechanism to link .a files (etc.) during the build process at the platform/ext/*.cmake level? It's possible to put something together for this one target ('target_link_libraries'???), but I was wondering if I'm missing an instance where this is handled at a higher level, similar to how the RTX library is handled in the same makefiles: if (DEFINED CMSIS_5_DIR) # Not all projects define CMSIS_5_DIR, only the ones that use it. set(RTX_LIB_PATH "${CMSIS_5_DIR}/CMSIS/RTOS2/RTX/Library/GCC/libRTX_V8MMN.a") endif() Best regards, Kevin -- TF-M mailing list TF-M(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/tf-m

Including board-specific libraries in TF-M

by Kevin Townsend

Hi, While working on upstreaming support for a new MCU in TF-M, I've bumped into a requirement to link against an external library that's required for the device init sequence. I may (or may not) be able to remove this dependency, but is there currently a cross-platform mechanism to link .a files (etc.) during the build process at the platform/ext/*.cmake level? It's possible to put something together for this one target ('target_link_libraries'???), but I was wondering if I'm missing an instance where this is handled at a higher level, similar to how the RTX library is handled in the same makefiles: if (DEFINED CMSIS_5_DIR) # Not all projects define CMSIS_5_DIR, only the ones that use it. set(RTX_LIB_PATH "${CMSIS_5_DIR}/CMSIS/RTOS2/RTX/Library/GCC/libRTX_V8MMN.a") endif() Best regards, Kevin

Re: [TF-M] Python script to generate tf-m dependencies in JSON format

by Devaraj Ranganna

Hi, Thanks for your inputs. The original intention of the script was to not to modify the origin of the information i.e rst file as Minos quoted and also to avoid duplication of information. Considering all the new information, I think we should try to separate build and post-build dependencies (ex: srec_cat). This separation will allow us to handle all the build dependencies using "cmake" and then we can explore the possible option on how to handle post-build dependencies. @Minos, I believe all sw dependencies defined in https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… are already validated in cmake. Adding other library dependencies into it will make it complete. This way we don’t need mention library dependency in document anymore and still achieve single source of information. @George, I think first 3 question can be answered if we decide to go ahead with handling build dependencies with cmake.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] RE: secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode

by Adrian Shaw

Page 43 of the PSA Firmware Framework states the following: 1. Even when using these techniques, the latency involved in scheduling a Secure Partition to handle interrupts might not be acceptable for certain types of peripheral. The SPM can implement its own independent device driver model, which provides improved response latency, however, this comes at the cost of portability and security. The SPM’s independent device driver model is not within the scope of this specification. So you are allowed (if you want to implement it in an SP).

So I think there are 2 discussion here: 1. You had met unexpected behavior when a secure interrupt is configured with a lower priority than pendsv. As I understand, if you just move the pendsv in a higher priority, it should be ok. Just as I say in former mail that the pendsv handler will be processed every time, but it still can works. In this case, the 'd' point you list should not extend to SP. 2. You say that "the SP while it is processing the ISR". Do you mean you want to add a SP ISR? Right? please correct me if it is not. If so the current discussion should be if it is allowed to process ISR in SP: - If allow, "A NSPE interrupt is not allowed to preempt SPE ISR" could be understood as a NSPE interrupt is not allowed to preempt SP ISR. So I think this why you assume the SPE needs to be restored to the IDLE state. - If no. you assume will not reasonable. I think the answer should be NO. PSA FF gives us several APIs to process the interrupt: psa_wait, psa_get, psa_eoi based on the message in the IPC model. In this mechanism, ISR needs to send a signal to SP and let SP process data after scheduling. It is cleaner and security.

About a secure interrupt is configured with a lower priority than pendsv, I do not think it is a good idea. The pendsv is used to trigger the scheduler to switch thread. The normal interrupt process should like this: Interrupt happen -> jump into related ISR -> do necessary process such as mask interrupt status, send even or signal to related SP. -> set pendsv to trigger scheduler -> jump out ISR -> scheduler to decide which thread to run. In these sequences, if there are many interrupts happen at the same time, and high priority interrupt will interrupt low priority interrupt. Each ISR will trigger pendsv. But only one pendsv hander function needs to be processed. If we set the pendsv with high priority. Each interrupt will trigger pendsv and the pendsv handler will be processed every time. It will be more complex and spend more CPU time. Sorry that I do not know what is your detail scenario, and it will be more clear and helpful if you can provide more information.

Alan On Nov 13, 2019, at 5:08 AM, Mate Toth-Pal <Mate.Toth-Pal(a)arm.com> wrote: Hi Alan, That's a quite difficult question I think. At first look, it seems a to be a valid thinking that a secure partition that is handling an IRQ signal should be considered as an SPE ISR. However implementing this seems to be a nontrivial task. The code in the secure partitions is organised into a single thread, that executes a while loop, calls 'psa_wait()' in every iteration, and acts on the signals returned by it. The phenomenon we observed with your setup was the following: 1. When the Handler mode interrupt handler, that had lower priority than the PendSV reenabled interrupts after setting the signal, was interrupted by the PendSV handler. 2. PendSV handler scheduled the partition with the interrupt signal set, and did an exception return to thread mode. 3. The code of the Secure partition thread started executing, in Thread mode, but with the priority of the interrupt from the first point, as that interrupt handler was interrupted before it could do exception return to acknowledge the handling of the interrupt in the NVIC. 4. After the partition thread code called psa_wait again, the scheduler restored the context of the interrupt handler from the first point, that handler did an exception return, and everything is 'back to normal' Now, if I understand properly, your proposal is to make the conditions in point 3. to be mandatory for any scheduler implementation. To make this happen in TF-M, all the secure interrupts should have lower priority than the PendSV handler. This is necessary so that the above detailed behaviour is valid for all the interrupts. The problem with this is that the SPM has no control over which signal the code of the secure partition is going to execute. So in the current design a secure partition might decide to handle a service call signal (if there is any) instead of an IRQ signal, and that would be against our intention. We might be able to modify psa_wait to return only IRQ signals if there is any active, but that would be a violation of the PSA FF spec.

Add hooks for build artifacts custom post-processing

by Andrei Narkevitch

Hi All, I'd like to propose a small change that allows to implement custom build artifacts post processing. In our case, we need to convert tfm_s and tfm_ns binaries into a different file format and implement our custom signing. I expect that other partners eventually may have the same need for build customization. With this, user has an option to implement compiler_custom_post_build command in platform/ext/<platform>.cmake file, and put there all additional custom operations. If command is not implemented, it will be simply ignored. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2588 thanks Andrei This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries.

And the overall svcall logic does not need to know the exact number definition but just do a f[num].func() call. The cons... I think the only thing is table may be out of date and cause a potential problem? or some function has only <4 parameter but we have to define a f(a0,a1,a2,a3) type function and fill extra parameter as zeros? This won't improve the execution efficiency if the svc numbers are continuous since compiler uses 'TBB' to create a mapping table while processing switch/case, so we can skip this point while talking pros. Welcome to comment or propose patches for this. Thanks. /Ken -- TF-M mailing list TF-M(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/tf-m IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Re: out of tree build

by Kevin Peng (Arm Technology China)

Hi all, I'm having issues on supporting the out of tree build. So I'd like to propose some additional changes. What does the out of tree build currently support is that: The user uses the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py with the custom manifests to generate the customized files to a directory out of TF-M. And the TF-M build system uses the customized files rather than the pre-generated ones in the TF-M for building. The problem is that some of the source files include the generated headers using the relative path to where the source itself is. And the directory of the source file is always searched first. This makes it impossible to use the generated files outside TF-M even the custom output directory is added to searching list. So I suggest to put the generated files to a dedicated directory in TF-M. Then for the default build, add the directory and its subdirectories to the search list for headers. For out of tree build, use the specified directory and its subdirectories instead. Then there would only one header file with the same name in all the directories for searching headers. Any concerns, thoughts or suggestions?

Re: [TF-M] Coding guideline

by Abhishek Pandit

Hi Reinhard, We had a discussion in the TSC last week about coding standard. The general consensus was that there multiple possible standards that we can aim for but we need to decide our goal in order to decide the coding standard for the project. I believe Mark G is planning to look at the work ongoing in Zephyr project and provide some details to help us take the discussion forward for TF.org. The input below is helpful, we should take this into the unified effort for coding standard and tooling to enforce it.

Thus each partner/platform folder doesn't have to hold a duplicated copy. - It is easier for partners to fully organize and maintain their platform folders with full permission. More layers can be added under a specific partner folder, such as diverse platforms. - Put the target specific cmake config file back into the target folder. It can make the `platform` folder much more clear. Best regards, Hu Ziji

Re: [TF-M] Coding guideline

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Tamas, The guidelines look good.

CC312 (crypto HW accelerator) integration on Musca-B1

by Tamas Ban

Hi, Musca-B1 board is the target of PSA Level 2 certification. As part of this process we integrated the CC312 crypto HW accelerator with TF-M. The following major changes was done: * Replacement of mbedTLS library to mbed-crypto in MCUBoot. * Integration of CryptoCell-runtime-library to TF-M build system. * Default behaviour of Musca-B1 is unchanged, it use SW only crypto and relying only on mbed-crypto. HW accelerated crypto can be turned on with CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR=ON * When HW crypto acceleration is enabled then CryptoCell-runtime-library and CC312 HW perform the crypto operations instead of mbed-crypto (mbedTLS). The library provides an mbedTLS compliant API, therefore it requires minimal modification in the code base. * Creating a crypto key provisioning tool to program the TF-M related crypto keys to OTP memory (HUK, ROTPK, attest priv. key). Here we took a sort-cut and currently linked this tool to MCUBoot on demand. CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR_OTP_STATE=PROVISIONING * Porting of platform layer in Musca-B1 folder to rely on CC312 and OTP memory. CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR_OTP_STATE=ENABLED * Extends initial attestation API to provide a public API to retrieve the public part of the attestation key. The top of the patch-set: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2539/ We would like to review and merge the changes by 27th of November! Reviewers are welcome! Tamas Ban

Re: [TF-M] Coding guideline

by Kevin Townsend

Hi Tamas, Just to add to the conversation, something that the Zephyr project added to make enforcing the coding guidelines easier was a config file for uncrustify. https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/contribute/index.html#uncrustify The Zephyr config file itself can be seen here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/master/.uncrustify.cfg The advantage here is that most text editors can be configured to automatically apply these rules and avoid common white space or other issues. I've generally found this very useful generating PRs and just ensuring I didn't make any obvious errors when I commit files or changes.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] RE: secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode

by DeMars, Alan

I don't know that the SPE needs to be restored to its IDLE state prior to a thread pre-empting NS interrupt occurring. I just assumed that these 2 rules required it: a. All of the SPE interrupts must have higher priority than NSPE interrupts d. A NSPE interrupt is not allowed to preempt SPE ISR (I assumed that this rule applies to the SP while it is processing the ISR as well). Alan -----Original Message----- From: TF-M [mailto:tf-m-bounces@lists.trustedfirmware.org] On Behalf Of Edison Ai (Arm Technology China) via TF-M Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2019 12:58 AM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd Subject: Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] RE: secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode Hi Alan, I have one question, why the SPE needs restored to its IDLE state prior to a thread pre-empting NS interrupt occurring? About a secure interrupt is configured with a lower priority than pendsv, I do not think it is a good idea. The pendsv is used to trigger the scheduler to switch thread. The normal interrupt process should like this: Interrupt happen -> jump into related ISR -> do necessary process such as mask interrupt status, send even or signal to related SP. -> set pendsv to trigger scheduler -> jump out ISR -> scheduler to decide which thread to run. In these sequences, if there are many interrupts happen at the same time, and high priority interrupt will interrupt low priority interrupt. Each ISR will trigger pendsv. But only one pendsv hander function needs to be processed. If we set the pendsv with high priority. Each interrupt will trigger pendsv and the pendsv handler will be processed every time. It will be more complex and spend more CPU time. Sorry that I do not know what is your detail scenario, and it will be more clear and helpful if you can provide more information.

Commonly accepted default documentation layout

by Minos Galanakis

Hi With our documentation growing, and more people contributing to it, it is quite essential to start a discussion on some basic commonly accepted rules about the format of choice. Restructured text allows you to achieve similar looking results using multiple approaches, but this makes it harder for tools like Sphinx to render properly, since the rendering template can be applied on per project basis, not on a per file basis. I took the liberty of investigating the existing documentation, and mostly looking for top level headers which can be done by using either #################### This is a top-level header #################### # Reference docs: # design_documents/tfm_its_service.rst # design_documents/secure_boot_hw_key_integration.rst # Reference docs: # user_guides/tfm_secure_boot.rst # user_guides/tfm_user_guide.rst or ==================== This is a top level header ==================== # Reference docs: # design_documents/tfm_its_service.rst # design_documents/secure_boot_hw_key_integration.rst Since we are looking for the path of least resistance, I would like to propose that we follow the format the majority of document uses.This is the format used in `user_guides/tfm_user_guide.rst<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/plain/docs/user_guid…>` . When writing a document and coming across a requirement that has not been defined yet, we should be aiming for compliance with official Python guidelines<https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#style-guide> which is the most commonly used notation. The following rules should be considered: 1. H1 document title headers should be expressed by # with over-line (rows on top and bottom) of the text 2. Only ONE H1 header should allowed per document, ideally placed on top of the page. 3. H2 headers should be expressed by * with over-line 4. H2 header's text should be UNIQUE in per document basis 5. H3 headers should be expressed by a row of '=' 6. H4 headers should be expressed by a row of '-' 7. H3 and H4 headers have no limitation about naming. They can have similar names on the same document, if they have different parents. 8. H5 headers should be expressed by a row of '^' 9. H5 headers will be rendered in document body but not in menus on the navigation bar. 10. Do not go deeper than 5 level of heading 11. When writing guide, which are expected to be able to be readable by command line tools, it would be best practice to add long complicated tables, and UML diagrams in the bottom of the page and using internal references(auto-label). See the current version of the `/user_guides/tfm_sw_requirement.rst<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/plain/docs/user_guid…>` and the proposed patch<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2456> Please let me know if you have any questions/objection or proposals or new rules you would like to be considered.

The svcall switch-case vs function table

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi, I am trying to look at into the svcall logics and found if we keep using the switch/case would make it hard to abstract this logic for different configurations. Thinking to move this static defined svc codes into an array-based function table. The pros are, the svc code set for different configurations is configurable, we don't need any #ifdef inside the svc numbers but rely on the configuration provided svc headers, and these headers are used inside configuration logic. And the overall svcall logic does not need to know the exact number definition but just do a f[num].func() call. The cons... I think the only thing is table may be out of date and cause a potential problem? or some function has only <4 parameter but we have to define a f(a0,a1,a2,a3) type function and fill extra parameter as zeros? This won't improve the execution efficiency if the svc numbers are continuous since compiler uses 'TBB' to create a mapping table while processing switch/case, so we can skip this point while talking pros. Welcome to comment or propose patches for this. Thanks. /Ken

Re: [TF-M] secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi Alan, That's a quite difficult question I think. At first look, it seems a to be a valid thinking that a secure partition that is handling an IRQ signal should be considered as an SPE ISR. However implementing this seems to be a nontrivial task. The code in the secure partitions is organised into a single thread, that executes a while loop, calls 'psa_wait()' in every iteration, and acts on the signals returned by it. The phenomenon we observed with your setup was the following: 1. When the Handler mode interrupt handler, that had lower priority than the PendSV reenabled interrupts after setting the signal, was interrupted by the PendSV handler. 2. PendSV handler scheduled the partition with the interrupt signal set, and did an exception return to thread mode. 3. The code of the Secure partition thread started executing, in Thread mode, but with the priority of the interrupt from the first point, as that interrupt handler was interrupted before it could do exception return to acknowledge the handling of the interrupt in the NVIC. 4. After the partition thread code called psa_wait again, the scheduler restored the context of the interrupt handler from the first point, that handler did an exception return, and everything is 'back to normal' Now, if I understand properly, your proposal is to make the conditions in point 3. to be mandatory for any scheduler implementation. To make this happen in TF-M, all the secure interrupts should have lower priority than the PendSV handler. This is necessary so that the above detailed behaviour is valid for all the interrupts. The problem with this is that the SPM has no control over which signal the code of the secure partition is going to execute. So in the current design a secure partition might decide to handle a service call signal (if there is any) instead of an IRQ signal, and that would be against our intention. We might be able to modify psa_wait to return only IRQ signals if there is any active, but that would be a violation of the PSA FF spec.

I've been doing some thinking about the unexpected behavior we saw when a secure interrupt is configured with a lower priority than pendsv. I think the below statements in the Cooperative Scheduling Rules discussion: a. All of the SPE interrupts must have higher priority than NSPE interrupts d. A NSPE interrupt is not allowed to preempt SPE ISR must extend to the priority level of the SP as it services the interrupt while in thread mode. Otherwise the problem that these rules are meant to avoid can arise: the SPE is not completely restored to its IDLE state prior to a thread pre-empting NS interrupt occurring. So, rather than the behavior we witnessed being unexpected, I think it may have to be enforced. Is this correct thinking?

Moving design documents from wiki into source folder with rst format

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi, There are some design documents created earlier is put at wiki. Since they are useful and going to be updated later, we need to move them into source folder with rst format. I have created an issue link for this: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T579 The list is here (from link: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_m/): Code Generation With Jinja2 (ongoing) Cooperative Scheduling Rules (ongoing) Inter-Processes Communication Non-secure Client Management (ongoing) Non-Secure Interrupt Handling (ongoing) Secure Partition Interrupt Handling (ongoing) Secure Storage Service Service IPC compatibility - Attestation Service IPC compatibility - SST Trusted Boot Trusted Firmware-m Isolation Level 2 Twin-cpu Uniform Secure Service Signature (ongoing) Some are picked up, the rest are welcome for picking up or comment! Please check the T579 for progress and provide comments in your interested topic - if you found there are some place needs to be updated in these 'old' docs, it is a good chance to update them during the moving. Thanks. /Ken

Re: [TF-M] extending common linker command file template

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi Alan, Currently the only way to have custom content in the platform linker config files is to create a platform specific template in the platform directory, and refer to that in the platform CMake file instead of the common one. Although this might not be the best solution, as keeping the platform specific files up to date with the common linker config files can be an extra work.

Re: [TF-M] irqs "source" field

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Alan, I think the "source" combines the usage of "number" and "name" since a tooling is needed eventually and tool can decide the assigned value is a number or name. Something like: /* Init Secure Partition - here is the pseudo code and does not exist in real sources */ p_irq_ctx = get_interrupt_ctx_by_source (p_manifest->source); /* Tool has converted the number or name into specified source index type */ init_interrupt(p_irq_ctx, THIS_SP); /* SP-IRQ binding is needed */ The 'source' here is just a keyword for tool searching in the platform resource descriptions and be converted into a program recognizable index so that runtime code could know the interrupt context and do something. The irq_number you proposed is direct which is good; but for the name, if we need to do extra operations instead of just know where the handler is, a looking up is still needed based on the irq name provided. That is just my opinion, you can try the email in FF spec for collecting feedbacks: arm.psa-feedback(a)arm.com BR /Ken -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of DeMars, Alan via TF-M Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2019 2:38 AM To: 'tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org' <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] irqs "source" field I think the PSA FF current definition of the "irqs" "source" attribute is needlessly opaque, confusing, and limiting.

Patches to share common code between TF-M ITS and SST services

by Jamie Fox

Hi all, The ITS and SST partitions in TF-M share a common implementation for the backend FS and flash layers, but currently this code is duplicated between the two partitions, increasing overall code size. To fix this, it was previously proposed to keep the common code in only the ITS partition, with SST making service requests to ITS to complete FS and flash operations. The patches to implement this are now available for review here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2425 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2426 The first patch refactors the FS and flash code in ITS to support multiple contexts, with multiple flash devices. The second refactors SST to make requests to ITS instead of calling the FS code directly, and modifies ITS to handle requests that originate from SST with SST's FS context and flash device. This is a fairly significant change to the architecture of the two services, so feedback would be particularly appreciated. Kind regards, Jamie

Re: [TF-M] Weak symbols

by Grosen, Mark

Before deciding and documenting this, could we review and decide on the overall project's applicable standards? I am guessing that "more strict requirements" might hint at things like MISRAC. I would rather see a general framework for how coding standards are either inherited or defined than one-off choices. There are other questionable coding practices in the current code base that would have trouble with MISRAC. That said, if we will adopt MISRAC, we can also adopt deviations and waivers that allow for (limited) uses of general violations. A well-documented, reviewed and approved deviation is normal practice in most projects trying to adhere to formal quality standards.

extending common linker command file template

by DeMars, Alan

We've had to add two memory regions and section placements to the "tfm_common_s.ld.template". Rather than polluting this "common" template, is there a way to extend the functionality so that platform-specific content can be included in the generated linker command file? Alan
