by Antonio De Angelis

Hi all, Mbed TLS 3.6.0-LTS has been recently released and we are in the process of upgrading the supported version of TF-M as well. I have prepared three patches (for tests, extras and the main repo) available here for review that need to be merged by the time the release freeze happens (likely this week at some point). From this patch onwards, TF-M will align completely to the PSA Crypto headers shipped by the Mbed TLS project, hopefully solving the issues we have had in the past around header mismatches when both Mbed TLS and TF-M Crypto are integrated into the same environment. For this reason the TF-M project will just hold a copy of the headers (in the interface/include/psa and interface/include/mbedtls directories) and won't accept any contribution to them. Please find the patches available for review under the following Gerrit topic: topic:"mbedtls_3_6_0_alignment" · Gerrit Code Review (trustedfirmware.org)<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22mbedtls_3_6_0_alignment%22> Thanks, Antonio

Re: Use of auto-generation approach for mbedtls/mbed-crypto driver psa_crypto_driver_wrappers..h file

by Ruchika Gupta

+ tf-m mailing list From: Ruchika Gupta Sent: Friday, April 5, 2024 4:14 PM To: tf-m <"tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-m"@lists.trustedfirmware.org>; mbed-tls(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org; security-wg(a)lists.zephyrproject.org Subject: Use of auto-generation approach for mbedtls/mbed-crypto driver psa_crypto_driver_wrappers..h file Hi All, Apologies for the long email. I am adding all the 3 projects (TF-M, mbedTLS and Zephyr) to the mail chain because the issues I discuss below are inter-connected and affect all the three projects. From mbedtls 3.5.0 version, the mbedtls project has migrated to auto-generated psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h file. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/psa-driver-exampl… https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/proposed/psa-driv… On TF-M, mbed-crypto, there are 2 patches for the drivers given below which are still hardcoding their changes and not following the above approach. 1. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_TFM_BUILTIN_KEY_LOADER (0001-Add-TF-M-Builtin-Key-Loader-driver-entry-points.patch) 2. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_CC3XX (0005-Hardcode-CC3XX-entry-points.patch) We at NXP, have migrated our psa crypto wrappers to the above approach using auto-generation. We want to maintain same code base for mbedtls for our SDK's, TFM mbed-crypto as well as align mbedTLS fork in Zephyr. We are increasingly finding it difficult to migrate to newer versions of mbedtls because of hardcoding of above drivers. The problem is specially on the Zephyr front, where in the mbedTLS fork in zephyr these patches from tfm are applied by default. I have queries for all the 3 projects listed below : TF-M --> Can you please let us know what are the plans to migrate these 2 drivers in tfm to the auto-generation approach. If these patches can be migrated to make changes in jinja files rather than hardcoding in psa_crypto_driver_wrappers , things would be much easier to integrate. Is somebody already working on it ? Are you open to accept patches for this change ? mbedTLS --> What is the long term strategy from mbedTLS on this auto-generation ? We still have a lot of hard-coding in .jinja file rather than using drivers.json. Would mbedTLS/new PSA crypto repository start accepting patches for psa wrappers from platforms ? Can the patches which TF-M project maintains be merged in the mbedTLS ? Zephyr --> On Zephyr front, what are the plans to align to this auto-generation approach ? Regards, Ruchika

MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE vs MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi All, I apologize for this probably trivial question, but I cannot find out if and why I should use MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE or MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH. Are there any real advantages of move with SCRATCH other than that it requires less flash? - that is, min just one extra sector for all the images vs min one sector per image? Move without scratch seems to provide a better wear balance but still almost all the examples I come across use move with scratch. What am I missing? Kind regards, Tomasz

TF-M Tech forum time update proposal

by Anton Komlev

Hi, Following the forum session today I am sending this separate email asking for your feedback. The recent forums on the East time zone slot are getting quite low attendance, so I am wondering if it still valuable or we want to reschedule it. The potential options I can think of: 1. Keep the current schedule and change nothing. 2. Drop the East time zone slot and leave West time zone slot only for monthly meetings. 3. Reschedule slots for bi-weekly forums on West time zone. 4. Other ideas? Thanks, and please share your opinion in this email thread, Anton

NS Client ID mapping for Hybrid Platform

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi All, As part of the work we are doing for Hybrid Platforms we prepared a patch that makes changes how the Non-Secure Client IDs are handled. When TF-M is run in Hybrid Platform configuration, It has multiple NS agents active the same time. Each of the NS clients (either running in the NSPE the same v8M CPU as SPM, or on the other end of a Mailbox) can have their own way to assign NS Client IDs to clients. To prevent NS clients impersonate other NS clients that are accessing secure services through a different agent, the patch introduces Client ID mapping. For each NS agent partition a range of valid Client IDs is defined in the manifest yaml file. The SPM checks boot time that the ranges don't overlap. The NS agent partitions must make sure that they map incoming client ID's in a way that the output Client ID is always in the range of valid IDs for that NS agent. If an NS agent has multiple mailboxes, it is possible to assign separate ranges for those mailboxes (the range is associated with the Mailbox IRQ in the manifest yaml). Please find the patch here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/26947 Any questions or comments are welcome! Best Regards, Mate

Nordic nRF9160 bootloader gets stuck because of undefined function

by Boeckmann, Lena

Hi folks, I tried running a minimal example on the nRF9160dk. In `boot_hal_bl2.c` the following code is executed: #ifdef FLASH_DEV_NAME result = FLASH_DEV_NAME.Uninitialize(); if (result != ARM_DRIVER_OK) { while(1) {} } #endif /* FLASH_DEV_NAME */ For the Nordic boards `Uninitialize` is not implemented (see `Driver_Flash.c`): ARM_DRIVER_FLASH Driver_FLASH0 = { .GetVersion = NULL, .GetCapabilities = ARM_Flash_GetCapabilities, .Initialize = ARM_Flash_Initialize, .Uninitialize = NULL, .PowerControl = NULL, .ReadData = ARM_Flash_ReadData, .ProgramData = ARM_Flash_ProgramData, .EraseSector = ARM_Flash_EraseSector, .EraseChip = NULL, .GetStatus = NULL, .GetInfo = ARM_Flash_GetInfo }; This leads to a non-zero value being stored in `result` and my program ends up getting stuck in the while loop. Is it possible to fix that? Kind regards, Lena

Re: Scheduling bug

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi Ken, I tested with 2.0.0 release. There are my conclusions. tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code set result (for psa_wait, ...) by using SP stored in sp member of context_ctrl_t structure. It means that before calling tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code TF-M should update SP for thread (partition). thrd_next update result by calling tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code, if query_state_cb (pointing to query_state implemented by backend_ipc.c) returns THRD_STATE_RET_VAL_AVAIL. For all partition except active (interrupted by PendSV) context (values in context_ctrl_t) is correct. But context is invalid for active partition, because it is updated by PendSV after exit from ipc_schedule and thrd_next. As result call for psa_wait would fail if some secure IRQ will update signals_asserted after tfm_spm_partition_psa_wait and before PendSV will call thrd_next. SLIH interrupt can assert such signal (call to backend_assert_signal) in spm_handle_interrupt. I made a simple fix: diff --git a/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c b/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c index 3a968a3..c8b0742 100644 --- a/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c +++ b/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c @@ -454,9 +454,14 @@ /* Protect concurrent access to current thread/component and thread status */ CRITICAL_SECTION_ENTER(cs); - pth_next = thrd_next(); p_curr_ctx = (struct context_ctrl_t *)(CURRENT_THREAD->p_context_ctrl); + /* Update SP for current thread, so tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code can use up to date + * value of stack context to return value via R0.*/ + p_curr_ctx->sp = __get_PSP() - sizeof(struct tfm_additional_context_t); + + pth_next = thrd_next(); + AAPCS_DUAL_U32_SET(ctx_ctrls, (uint32_t)p_curr_ctx, (uint32_t)p_curr_ctx); p_part_curr = GET_CURRENT_COMPONENT(); Regards, Roman.

Hi Bohdan, Can you share us the version you are working on? Looks like the patch is based on a previous version of TFM, and this issue is resolved in the latest code base. The reason to do such abstraction is just because of such similar issues - the logic was coupled tightly because of synching the partition status, thread status and context update which caused maintenance confusion and effort. And we refactored this part to decouple the logic: SPM: Add STATUS_NEED_SCHEDULE to manage scheduler (21054) * Gerrit Code Review (trustedfirmware.org)<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/21054> Hope this helps, thanks. /Ken From: Bohdan.Hunko--- via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> Sent: Monday, November 6, 2023 10:01 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] Scheduling bug Hi There seem to be scheduling bug we have found in SPM. This bug is related to handling of interrupts that arrives during SVC call and assert signed for partition. Steps to reproduce: 1. Call psa_wait() from partition (e.g. mailbox partition) 2. During execution of SVC handler generate Interrupt that asserts signal of that partition (e.g. mailbox partition signal ) (adding long delay in SVC handler or adding breakpoint in SVC handler helps to easier reproduce this ) 3. Following sequence happens: * Mailbox IRQ has lower priority than SVC thus SVC is not preempted. * SVC sees that mailbox partition is blocked (as it is waiting for signal and no signals are pending) * SVC triggers pendSV i. Mailbox IRQ and pendSV are both pending * Mailbox IRQ has higher priority than pendSV thus Mailbox IRQ is executed * Mailbox IRQ calls spm_handle_interrupt i. Signal is asserted thus spm_handle_interrupt in thrd_next calls query_state_cb which returns THRD_STATE_RET_VAL_AVAIL and thus tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code is called ii. tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code sets return code using OLD value of partition PSP (as it was never updated, as it is updated in PendSV) * Mailbox IRQ return, pendsv is started and it runs mailbox partition i. Mailbox partition has 0 as signal because return value was written to wrong location is stack Patch I have attached to the mail solves this problem for us BUT it seems more like a workaround than a proper fix( Anyways it would be nice to have this problem review by SPM experts and have proper fix (maybe we have other places with same problem...)

SPM thread and FLIH

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, It seems that on v2.0 there is a problem with FLIH handling during execution of SPM thread. 1. A partition #1 is running with unprivileged attribute (CONTROL.nPRIV = 1). 2. It requests PSA API (for example psa_call). 3. psa_call is serviced via SVC. prepare_to_thread_mode_spm schedules handling of psa_call in SPM thread mode (by prepare_to_thread_mode_spm). 4. prepare_to_thread_mode_spm saves CONTROL to saved_control. Than set CONTROL.nPRIV = 0 (privileged for SPM thread). 5. Exit from SVC starts execution of tfm_spm_client_psa_call in SPM thread (privileged). 6. SPM thread is interrupted by FLIH IRQ. 7. FLIH IRQ handler calls spm_handle_interrupt. 8. spm_handle_interrupt switches boundary to prepare environment for FLIH handler (partition #2) and schedules execution of FLIH handler. 9. FLIH handler is executed. 10. tfm_flih_return_to_isr is called on exit from FLIH handler. It restores boundary of partition #1 and set CONTROL.nPRIV = 1. Than returns to FLIH IRQ handler. 11. FLIH IRQ handler exit to SPM thread that has been interrupted on step #6. 12. SPM thread have no enough permissions, because it's running with CONTROL.nPRIV equal to 1 (unprivileged). So, processing environment is unprivileged and tfm_spm_client_psa_call fails on accessing restricted resource. Does my understanding correct? If yes it means that we should fix exit from FLIH to SPM thread. Regards, Roman.

ITS encryption

by Quach, Brian

Hi, It appears that ITS encryption would be required for PSA Certified Level 3. I'm seeing that this would required a platform specific HAL implementation. Is there some reason PSA Crypto APIs were not used like they were for attestation? Encryption in ITS ================= The ITS can optionally be configured to encrypt the internal trusted storage data. To support encryption in ITS the target platform must provide an implementation of the APIs defined in ``platform/include/tfm_hal_its_encryption.h``:: enum tfm_hal_status_t tfm_hal_its_aead_generate_nonce(uint8_t *nonce, const size_t nonce_size); enum tfm_hal_status_t tfm_hal_its_aead_encrypt( struct tfm_hal_its_auth_crypt_ctx *ctx, const uint8_t *plaintext, const size_t plaintext_size, uint8_t *ciphertext, const size_t ciphertext_size, uint8_t *tag, const size_t tag_size); enum tfm_hal_status_t tfm_hal_its_aead_decrypt( struct tfm_hal_its_auth_crypt_ctx *ctx, const uint8_t *ciphertext, const size_t ciphertext_size, uint8_t *tag, const size_t tag_size, uint8_t *plaintext, const size_t plaintext_size); Regards, Brian Quach SimpleLink MCU Texas Instruments Inc. 12500 TI Blvd, MS F-4000 Dallas, TX 75243 214-479-4076

Build without re-downloading packages?

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi All, Since ST platform seems to be supported only passively, I try to adapt tf-m for the new ST U5Axx and U5Gxx MPUs with 4MB flash on my own. It does not come easy since some things are hardcoded and new HAL version is required while breaking HAL changes have been introduced, but this is not the reason why I make this post. Is there any easy way, I mean, some cmake switch, which would allow for a full rebuild without redownloading the required packages? Since clean rebuild from scratch takes time and I need to do it frequently while my Internet connection currently is not super-fast and stable such option would be the most helpful. Kind regards, Tomasz

Can primary and secondary images size change in opposite directions? (2)

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi Anton, I think now I finally understand what I what to achieve with TF-M and it may not be achievable. I was hoping for the TF-M to be able to be able to manage both SPE and NSPE partition containing my LocalLoader using two slots of variable size placed in non-continuous memory. The PRIMARY LocalLoader slot has fixed start while the SECONDARY LocalLoader slot has fixed end, but byte order in secondary blocks can be reversed so bootloader always knows where to start - that is, at the end of flash memory where the header starts going backwards. My MainApp remains managed by LocalLoader using Secure FW services, not by TF-M/MCUboot directly. I am afraid that the above scenario is currently not achievable with TF-M because: - LocalLoader secondary slot must have a fixed start location - The memory area that Primary/Secondary slots occupy has to be continuous - Secondary slot reverse byte order is not supported - although probably fairly easy to implement. Is my understanding correct?

Re: Can primary and secondary images size change in opposite directions?

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi Anton I think what I really was uncertain about was whether sizes and locations of my LocalLoader "slots" have to be hardcoded somewhere so they cannot change, but it looks like it is not the case. As you pointed out, my LocalLoader app can just use TF-M crypto service to decrypt MainApp firmware update and then decompress it on its own. Ofc, out-of-the-box TF-M decryption-decompression (same time) service would be helpful, but there are no standard ones I am aware of and by no means lack of it is any show stopper. Kind regards, Tomasz Btw, I apologize for multiple posts, I thought those exceeding 80k would be just discarded.

Getting basics working - how to? (ST B-U585I-IOT02A, STM32U5A9/U5G9 )

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hello All, I read the entire TF-M documentation, but I still do not quite understand how to get started with ST B-U585I-IOT02A, although my ultimate target is STM32U5A9/U5G9 MCU (4 MB of flash, 2.5/3.0 MB SRAM). 1. Based on Getting Started <https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.ht ml> section I managed to compile TF-M solution, but I do not know how to properly flash the board using e.g. pyOCD or OpenOCD. How do I flash bl2.bin, tfm_(n)s.bin and tfm_(n)s_signed.bin? The only method I found was described here <https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.ht ml#run-an521-regression-sample> and it relied on Arm Development Studio, a product which after 30-day evaluation must be purchased. 2. How do I update my NS application once the device is initially provisioned? I think this, although excellent TF-M documentation, is probably aimed at those who already are familiar with TF-M and could be supplemented with some "TF-M for dummies" section, better explaining basic concepts and the purpose all the TF-M services. Anyway, my goal is to implement as simple as it gets, yet secure firmware update. Firmware has to be signed and encrypted, ideally compressed as well. Firmware must be easily upgradable by non-technical users so USB stick with firmware file on it is the method of choice. What I envision is this process: 1. user inserts USB stick 2. device enters firmware update mode - probably performed by a separate, small and updatable "USB Loader" app, optionally using basic 1bit graphics, progress bar etc. - low flash & SRAM footprint. 3. "USB Loader" loads, verifies and decrypts new firmware using TF-M APIs and compresses it (if it was not compressed) when storing it in the internal SRAM. Compression may be required since internal SRAM on STM32U5A9/U5G9 (2.3/3.0 MB) is smaller than the flash size (4 MB). 4. Once the entire new firmware is loaded into internal SRAM, "USB Loader" decompresses it block-by-block and flashes flash, I suppose, again using TF-M APIs. Does the above process make sense? It is possible to implement it with TF-M? One potential challenge I can see is that, practically speaking, my "USB Loader" must use Microsoft FileX, USBX and, in consequence, ThreadX because probably only this way I can get USB-C and exFAT partitions support in a reasonable amount of time. TF-M docs do not list Microsoft ThreadX as a supported RTOS. Kind regards, Tomasz Jastrzębski

STM32 target provisioning difficulties

by tomasz jastrzebski.net

After successful compilation I tried to provision B-U585I-IOT02A board following the steps described here: STM32U5 provisioning<https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/platform/stm/common/stm3…>. Process did not succeed due to the errors described below. What am I missing? postbuild.sh results in: Thomas@AMDMINIATX MINGW64 /c/Temp/tf-m/trusted-firmware-m/platform/ext/target/stm/common/scripts (main) $ ./postbuild.sh ./postbuild.sh: line 22: /c/Temp/tf-m/trusted-firmware-m/platform/ext/target/stm/common/scripts/preprocess.sh: No such file or directory preprocess bl2 file ./postbuild.sh: line 36: preprocess: command not found C:\Python312\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Temp\\tf-m\\trusted-firmware-m\\platform\\ext\\target\\stm\\common\\scripts\\scripts\\stm_tool.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory postbuild.sh failed There are 3 versions of preprocess.sh script, it is compiler specific. TFM_UPDATE.sh has some syntax errors which reveal themselves under GitBash Thomas@AMDMINIATX MINGW64 /c/Temp/tf-m/trusted-firmware-m/platform/ext/target/stm/common/scripts (main) $ ./TFM_UPDATE.sh TFM UPDATE started ./TFM_UPDATE.sh: line 52: [: ==: unary operator expected ./TFM_UPDATE.sh: line 56: [: ==: unary operator expected ./TFM_UPDATE.sh: line 59: [: ==: unary operator expected These are easy to fix. Eg. if [ $encrypted == "0x1" ]; then -> if [ "$encrypted" == "0x1" ]; then It looks postbuild.sh and TFM_UPDATE.sh take two additional parameters which are not documented. regression.sh takes one undocumented parameter.

Can primary and secondary images have clearly different sizes?

Hi All, I'm considering a scenario where users will be able to manually update device firmware from USB pen drive. For this reason, my Main App does not need a secondary copy kept in case update failed. If update fails, user can simply make another attempt a using different media or a different image. However, what needs to be protected against failed update is the Local Loader (LL) - updatable app reading files from pen drive, which updates the Main App. As new versions get developed and functionality is added (e.g. NTFS support), Local Loader (LL) may grow in size, hence the latest version may be clearly larger than the previous one. The same time I would like to be able to use all the remaining flash space for the Main App. All the above dictates the flash layout depictured below. LL1 size may be clearly different than LL2, Local Loader update may result in the Main App update, but that is OK. Does TF-M support the described scenario? Flexibility is the key. Can primary and secondary Local Loader (LL) images have clearly different sizes?

Pre-encryption image compression (re-posting as a new topic)

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hello All, Does the current TF-M version support image compression before image is encrypted? Needless to say, compression after the image has been encrypted would not yield reasonable compression ratio. I am showing that *.bin files, even built with MinSizeRel option, zip-compress with minimum 50% compression ratio so probably this would make sense. Tested with STM32U5 target and GCC. "PSA Certified Firmware Update API <https://arm-software.github.io/psa-api/fwu/1.0/overview/architecture.html#m anifest> " document in sections 3.1 and 3.2 provides for image compression.

Memory Footprint Table generation

by Ruchika Gupta

Hi, With every TFM release, I see that there is a memory footprint table<https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/2.0.0.html#refe…> which is made available for the AN521 platform. Are there any scripts available to run on the map file/other binaries to generate this table ? I would like to use the same for our platform and do some analysis. Further question- Why is there a tie up between the large profile with TFM isolation level 3 ? Is it a certification requirement ? Regards, Ruchika

Re: Are MCUs without internal flash not supported by TF-M?

by Antonio De Angelis

Hi Torsten, you can have a look at the design document for ITS which describes encryption in ITS for a generic introduction: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/tfm/design_docs… A platform supports ITS_ENCRYPTION=ON if it provides an implementation of the HAL functions as follows: tfm_hal_its_aead_* For the exact list of Nordic platforms that support this option I suggest to have a look directly in the Nordic Connect SDK. Probably any platform based on the 5340 would be able to support this option, but there might be other platforms as well which you would be able to use through the SDK itself. Hope this helps.

Hi William, The requirement on the storage is for it to be isolated, either physically or cryptographically, as you can read from the PSA security model [1]. TF-M initially supported only the isolated model in ITS (i.e. for internal flashes) but more recently it was added support for encrypted ITS, which I believe it can be used on one of the Nordic platforms already.

Arm v8 FPU questions

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have been working with FPU lately and I have a few questions regarding this topic: Looks like there are 4 use cases of FPU usage: FPU is used in Use case number SPE NSPE 1 - - 2 - + 3 + - 4 + + From https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/integration_guide/tfm_fpu_suppo… my understanding is following: 1. If SPE and NSPE both does not use SPU (use case 1) then they both must be compiler with fp=soft? 2. consistent FP ABI types between SPE and NSPE must be used. So even if only one of SPE or NSPE (use cases 2 and 3) does not use FPU they both still must be compiler with fp=hard Also if both SPE and NSPE use PFU then they both must be compiler with fp=hard 3. Even if FPU is not used by NSPE, NSPE still MUST enable CP10 an CP11? - Is this correct? Is it possible to enable FPU for SPE but don't enable CP10 and CP11 in NSPE? So basically if either SPE or NSPE or both of them need to use FPU then both of them need to enable CP10 and CP11 and be compiled with fp=hard Is my understanding correct? Inline comments are welcome. 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>

How to disable all interrupts on ARM V8?

Hi all, From what I have seen, looks like __disable_irq() only disables non-secure interrupts when called from NSPE on ARM v8 arch. Am I correct? If so then how can I disable all interrupts (including secure interrupts) from NSPE? - We need this for critical section and other critical code.

Problems with integrating TF-M with RIOT OS

by Boeckmann, Lena

Hi everyone! I am currently integrating TF-M with an IoT OS (RIOT OS) and I have a few problems. I managed to build and link a secure TF-M binary and a non-secure RIOT binary and I can run some application code (print "hello world", turn LEDs on and off, etc) on the nRF9160dk. I can also use the crypto API and call psa_crypto_init. Now I have tried a few things and each of them leads to different problems, some of which I will describe in this mail hoping that someone can help me with this. I have done some debugging and have some ideas on what could be wrong, but I don't really understand how to fix the issues and don't really know how to proceed with either of them. Formatted Prints Somehow formatted prints are ignored. Calls to printf without formatting default to the stdio puts implementation and are printed without issues. Calls to printf with formatting use the implementation in tfm_sp_log_raw.c and are just ignored. They crashed at first, but I could fix that (RIOT has different implementations of the SVC ISR and I used the wrong one). Now they don't crash anymore, but are also not printed (no error output, application keeps running). Since this function is part of the secure firmware, my guess is that there's a problem with it being called from the NS world. But that should result in a SecureFault, shouldn't it? Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? Secure memset called from NS image When calling psa_generate_key, the first step is a struct initialization: struct tfm_crypto_pack_iovec iov = { .function_id = TFM_CRYPTO_GENERATE_KEY_SID, }; This runs into a SecureFault. It turns out that during struct initialization, memset is called to zeroize the structure. This uses the memset implemented in secure_fw/shared/crt_memset.c and accesses secure RAM (between addresses 0x20015000 and 0x20016000). I found a workaround by moving the start address of NS RAM from 0x20016000 to 0x20020000. Memset now still accesses RAM before NS RAM, but does not run into a SecureFault anymore. This works for now, but I would like to find an actual fix for this. This only occurs when building with RIOT. When building the TF-M NS image and running crypto tests, memset accesses NS RAM, though I don't know if the same implementation is used. Unfortunately I don't get any debug symbols there. Could it be that a different memset implementation should be linked? Can I change it somehow? Can someone tell me which one is linked in the TF-M NS image? Crypto partition is NULL When using the workaround described above, calling psa_generate_key runs into tfm_core_panic. The stack trace here is: psa_call (tfm_psa_call.c) tfm_psa_call_pack (backend_sfn.c) tfm_spm_client_psa_call (psa_call_api.c) tfm_spm_is_ns_caller (spm_ipc.c) The problem is in tfm_spm_is_ns_caller, where struct partition_t *partition = GET_CURRENT_COMPONENT(); gets a NULL pointer. So somehow there is no crypto partition available. Of course I have enabled the crypto partition in config_base.cmake, as well as protected storage and internal trusted storage. I checked with a debugger and found out that during start up, multiple partitions are initialized and added to the global component list (stored in backend_sfn.c). Can I somehow check what types of partitions are initialized? Did anyone have a similar issue before or has any idea why the partition could be missing? Did I miss any extra steps I need to take? I know these are pretty much unrelated issues, but they are persistent and I am at a loss at how to fix them. I will take any hints and ideas, including pointers to where I can find relevant information in the docs (those have not been very helpful in these cases, but maybe I've overlooked something).

Weird behavior of Clang linker

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, Our platform uses 4KBs alignment in linker files (as this is the requirement of our protection HW). For this reasons I have introduced tfm_s_linker_alignments.h. Everything works fine with GCC but we have a problem with Clang. The problem is that Clang requires LR_CODE to have same alignment as other sections inside of it. Following are the steps to reproduce the issue: 1. Set TFM_LINKER_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT to 0x1000 in tfm_s_linker_alignments.h 2. Build AN521 with following command line cmake -S . -B build_an521 -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/mps2/an521 -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./toolchain_ARMCLANG.cmake Expected result: Everything works fine Actual result: Error: L6244E: Load region LR_CODE address (0x10080400) not aligned on a 4096 byte boundary. This error is weird because there is no explicit alignment assigned to LR_CODE region. Would appreciate a help on this as it is a blocking issue for us.

This is an ABI change between token issuer and consumer. The breaking effect would be manifest in unaccepted IAT tokens by the verifier. On-device side I see these options to make the transition: - A build-time option could be introduced which determines which range of key numbers to use. The default value would be the new range. To not let new users pick up the old values accidentally. Existing users can notice the incompatibility issue during the integration test and adjust their build command accordingly. However, the old range would be announced as deprecated in the next TF-M release, then will be removed in the next release after. - Immediate switch over to the new range, without supporting the old range anymore. On the verification service side, an SW update can handle the transition and might be accepting both ranges for a while. I assume the verification service can be updated more easily than remote devices therefore better to handle the compatibility issue there. - Keeping the support for both ranges for the long term and letting users choose by build time. Please share your thoughts on: - Are you aware that the attestation service is used in deployed devices where this transition can cause incompatibility? - From the above list which option would you vote to support the transition?

FIH volatile structure and stack usage

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, I found that using FIH medium/high profile with gcc generates code that uses stack extensively. It happens because fih_int structure is marked as volatile. Is there any reason why structure itself is marked as volatile? Why it's not enough to make val and msk volatile members of fih_int structure? Best regards, Roman.

Redundant checks in FWU code

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, In config/check_config.cmake there is a following code: tfm_invalid_config((MCUBOOT_UPGRADE_STRATEGY STREQUAL " DIRECT_XIP " OR MCUBOOT_UPGRADE_STRATEGY STREQUAL "RAM_LOAD") AND TFM_PARTITION_FIRMWARE_UPDATE) So looks like FWU is not supported when DIRECT_XIP or RAM_LOAD upgrade strategies are used. But then in FWU code I see a lot of checks for DIRECT_XIP or RAM_LOAD, for example in fwu_bootloader_get_image_info: #if !defined(MCUBOOT_DIRECT_XIP) && !defined(MCUBOOT_RAM_LOAD) && \ !defined(MCUBOOT_OVERWRITE_ONLY) What is the point of these checks if it is impossible to compile FWU code with DIRECT_XIP Because of check in config/check_config.cmake?

[RFC] Bump minimum CMake version required

by David Hu

Hi all, The current minimum CMake version specified in TF-M is 3.15. It is quite out-of-date. I’d like to propose to increase minimum CMake version to 3.21. CMake 3.21 can bring in some benefits, compared to CMake 3.15 * NEW behavior of several CMake policies, such as CMP0123 for Armclang. * After build split, TF-M secure build installs several build scripts. When NS build includes those build scripts, `CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_FILE/DIR` can make it easier to handle source code paths. CMake 3.21 was released 2 years ago. It should be stable enough now. May I know if you have any feedback or different opinions? Thank you. Best regards, Hu Ziji

Reduce dependency of NS Mailbox structure on non-secure configurations

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, I faced the problem that mailbox configuration of secure image differs from one provided for non-secure. It's because I'm using a split-build but a little bit different that is prepared for v2.0. I think we can minimize dependencies and unexpected impacts between different images when common data structures will have less customization. Currently we have three options that can change mailbox structures: 1. NUM_MAILBOX_QUEUE_SLOT - number of mailbox slots 2. TFM_MULTI_CORE_NS_OS_MAILBOX_THREAD - defines which NS client implementation is selected. 3. TFM_MULTI_CORE_TEST - specify whether NS multi-core test suite is built. There is requirement that NUM_MAILBOX_QUEUE_SLOT must be set to 1 if NS bare metal environment is used. But this limitation is excessive. Because it's important that secure side is not using slots that are not used by non-secure side. It can be possible to use NS bare metal client even if mailbox queue size is more than one, it's just the waste of resources in such case. But it can bring a benefit that it's possible to build secure image with default settings (aka 4 mailbox slots) and there is no need to rebuild it if there will be decision to switch from RTOS to bare metal environment which can be useful for some end-user use cases. More flexible update will be to pass number of allocated slots from NS side to TF-M during initialization, it's just important to validate that number of slots doesn't not exceed maximum supported by design. TFM_MULTI_CORE_NS_OS_MAILBOX_THREAD is another problem, because mailbox_reply_t allocates data that are not shared but used by non-secure side only. Which means that it's important to decide which NS client implementation is going to be used when TF-M is built. I see two different solutions for this problem: 1. Use union to allocate space for both of them and let decide NS client implementation which on to use. Something like this: struct mailbox_reply_t { union { //#ifdef TFM_MULTI_CORE_NS_OS_MAILBOX_THREAD uint8_t *woken_flag; /* Indicate that owner task has been * or should be woken up, after the * reply is received. */ //#else bool is_woken; /* Indicate that owner task has been * or should be woken up, after the * reply is received. */ //#endif }; }; 1. Redesign mailbox by separating data that are used by NS client from data that are shared between cores. So, it will be much easier to update non-secure client without touching secure image. It looks like there is data needed for test suite only (nr_tx and nr_used_slots fields of ns_mailbox_queue_t) defined by TFM_MULTI_CORE_TEST. I think we can allocate it in test suite only, so there will be no need to allocate this data in shared structure and there will not be the case when location of is_full field of ns_mailbox_queue_t accessed by both cores have different location if TFM_MULTI_CORE_TEST configuration is not applied the same way for both secure and non-secure images.

psa_call with NULL outvec causes a NULL pointer dereference

by Quach, Brian

Hi, Is it possible to call psa_call() with NULL outvecs with TF-M v2.0? I am using IPC model. This worked for me with TF-M v1.8 but now I see get a NULL pointer dereference with TF-M v2.0 when psa_reply() is called. Specifically, it happens inside update_caller_outvec_len(). It seems msg.out_size[i] is non-zero (due to a previous psa_call which had 3 outvecs). handle->caller_outvec[i].len causes a NULL pointer deference. void update_caller_outvec_len(struct connection_t *handle) { uint32_t i; for (i = 0; i < PSA_MAX_IOVEC; i++) { if (handle->msg.out_size[i] == 0) { continue; } SPM_ASSERT(handle->caller_outvec[i].base == handle->outvec_base[i]); handle->caller_outvec[i].len = handle->outvec_written[i]; } } spm_associate_call_params() does not clear msg.out_size[] so the previous contents remain. One potential fix is to add the highlighted code below to clear out_size[].

Partition log write UART without validation of permissions.

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, I noticed that partition log subsystem uses stdio_output_string through following chain of calls tfm_hal_output_sp_log => SVC TFM_SVC_OUTPUT_UNPRIV_STRING => tfm_hal_output_spm_log => stdio_output_string. SVC handler doesn't validate arguments, so it's allows APP RoT partitions to access PSA RoT memory via partition log subsystem. It seems that tfm_hal_memory_check must be called on SVC handler to validate permissions. Best Regards, Roman.

Redundant check on FWU_DEVICE_CONFIG_FILE

Deprecate Laird Connectivity platform

by Andersson, Joakim

The Laird Connectivity platform board BL5340 DVK no longer compiles in the main branch of TF-M after the split build feature was merged. The BL5340 DVK is a module that contains the nRF5340 SoC, because of this the platform is re-using the Nordic platform support files. This cross-reference is causing us, the maintainers of Nordic a lot of problems as making changes to the Nordic platform code can break the Laird Connectivity platform. We don't have this board either to run any tests and confirm any changes. Laird Connectivity has not contributed to the platform support for more than a year. Nordics strategy for maintaining support for TF-M is to have the base DK supported in TF-M for testing purposes, and then provide support for all other boards in our SDK through our board support configuration system. Removing the platform from TF-M will still mean that the BL5340 DVK board is supported in the nRF Connect SDK. To support the board in the Zephyr Project the following PR is needed: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/65823 Joakim Andersson Nordic Semiconductor

How can use Mailbox in TF-M on Dual-core System ?

by 진국 박

hello. I have ported corestone1000 plaform to tfm and am trying to use mhu to send and receive messages between secure enclave (SPE)core and host core(NSPE). (I want to use it for future encryption requests). Looking at the rss platform and corstone-1000 tfm code, the function for initializing and registering the mhu seems to be tfm_inter_core_comm_init. But I can't find the part that calls tfm_inter_core_comm_init. Can anyone tell me the procedure and a simple example of sending and receiving messages using MHU in a TFM environment? I've been looking through the TFM documentation, but I can't find it yet. Below is the tfm_inter_core_comm_init function to register the rpc of the spe in rss. I was wondering where the function below is called and used. int32_t tfm_inter_core_comm_init(void) { int int32_t ret; /* Register RPC callbacks */ ret = tfm_rpc_register_ops(&rpc_ops); if (ret != TFM_RPC_SUCCESS) { return ret; } /* Platform specific initialization */ ret = tfm_multi_core_hal_init(); if (ret != TFM_PLAT_ERR_SUCCESS) { tfm_rpc_unregister_ops(); return ret; } } return TFM_RPC_SUCCESS; } You are a newbie to TFM and are looking for help.

Flashing problems on B-U585I-IOT02A

by João Bento

Hello, I have recently trying to flash the B-U585I-IOT02A board by running the 3 scripts generated in the build folder, as I usually do with the STM32L552 board. However, I encountered some unexpected errors as I noticed that the secure and non-secure images were being written to external flash address spaces. I quickly noticed that this was happening because the "flash_layout.h" file defines the variable "EXTERNAL_FLASH". Additionally, the "image_macros_to_preprocess_bl2.c" set the image as encrypted by default with "RE_IMAGE_ENCRYPTED= 0X01", causing the "TFM_UPDATE.sh" script to write to the secondary slots. I found it quite strange because tf-m presented an off-the-shelf solution for the other board while for this board it assumes the use of an external flash. Nevertheless, I tried to work around these limitations by commenting the EXTERNAL_FLASH variable and assigning the "RE_IMAGE_ENCRYPTED= 0X00" similarly to the stm32l552. This led to the images being written to the primary slots defined in the flash layout, however, in runtime I encountered an error that states "Unable to find bootable image". Therefore, my question is: Do I need to make further adjustments, or is it possible that there's a configuration issue that is not compatible with the board? Best regards, João Bento

PSA_FRAMEWORK_HAS_MM_IOVEC

by Quach, Brian

Hi, I saw that PSA_FRAMEWORK_HAS_MM_IOVEC is not permitted for Isolation level 2-3 and transient copies of the input and output data into a 5KB scratch buffer are always made when making a PSA call. This makes sense as FF-Mv1.1 states: “In a system using isolation level 3, a Secure Partitions is not permitted to access another Secure Partition’s Private data. MM-IOVEC can provide a mechanism for one Secure Partition to access the other’s Private data.” But I think the requirements for isolation level 3 could be fulfilled by: If SP detects a Secure caller, it could make a transient copy of I/O data. If SP detects a Non-Secure caller, it could use MMIOVECs or a similar method to access NS memory directly to avoid overhead and limitations of copying the I/O data. Is this logical/ correct? With this approach, an attacker may tamper NS input data while the RoT service is processing those data but rules of isolation level 3 are maintained.

Various issues in successfully using GDB to debug secure apps on Musca S1 connected over USB DAPLink to a Linux host

by Arun D

Now sure where exactly this belongs, but I already posted question abut the Musca S1 earlier, and this seems relevant. ARM support essentially seem to tell me that they cannot support GDB and they are not certain of DAPLink, and recommend ULINKPLUS debugger with ARM IDE. So wanted to get a sense from anyone who has attempted to use this. In the following I describe the steps to obtain a base line, then provide description in what way GDB / DAPLink seems to misbehave. To get a base line: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - I build 'samples/hello_world' app using Zephyr 'v3.4.0'. Copy the 'build/zephyr/zephyr.hex' file to '/media/user/MUSCA_S1' directory when the board is USB. Connect a terminal emulator to the UART exposed by USB DAPLink, e.g. 'picocom -b 115200 -y n /dev/ttyACM0'. I can see on the console the followinbg *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.4.0 *** Hello World! musca_s1 If I press the reset button, the app restarts as well. This is as expected. I note that this is entirely running as in secure mode, that it does not use TF-M. - Next I start 'pyocd-gdbserver'. Then start a GDB session using the 'zephyr.elf' file, 'target remote localhost:3333' to connect it to the gdbserver. It connects ok. So I put a breakpoint at "main", do a 'monitor reset halt', and then continue. The breakpoint at 'main' is hit, I can obtain the backtrace to see it is correct as expected. So my setup seems good. Next I attempt to test a non-secure app with TF-M. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Build the app using Zephyr build env 'west build -b v2m_musca_s1_ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_psa_test/ -DCONFIG_TFM_PSA_TEST_CRYPTO=y'. Copy 'build/zephyr/tfm_merged.hex' to '/media/user/MUSCA_S1'. Connect a terminal emulator, picocom, to the console, and hit the PBON (power on) button. I see the following output as expected on the console: Musca-S1 Dual Firmware Version 1.9 [WRN] This device was provisioned with dummy keys. This device is NOT SECURE [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing! Booting TF-M 79a6115d3 [INF][Crypto] Initialising HW accelerator... complete. *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.4.0 *** ***** PSA Architecture Test Suite - Version 1.4 ***** Running.. Crypto Suite ****************************************** TEST: 201 | DESCRIPTION: Testing crypto key management APIs | UT: psa_crypto_init [Info] Executing tests from non-secure This is as expected. However, if I press the reset button the board does not appear to reset - this is unexpected. Has anyone seen a different behavior? Is the specific board that I have is misbehaving? - Now I start PyOCD GDB server, start GDB and successfully connect it to the GDB server. The target is halted where it was executing, e.g. Remote debugging using localhost:3333 CC_HalWaitInterruptRND (data=data@entry=1024) at /home/zephyr/zephyrproject/modules/tee/tf-m/trusted-firmware-m/lib/ext/cryptocell-312-runtime/host/src/hal/cc3x/cc_hal.c:107 107 irr = CC_HAL_READ_REGISTER(CC_REG_OFFSET(HOST_RGF, HOST_IRR)); (gdb) This is as expected. - Next I put a breakpoint at 'sprt_main', then issue a 'monitor reset halt', then issue a 'continue', The breakpoint is is NOT hit. I see a blue LED blink at perhaps 4 times per second. This is unexpected. Has anyone seen this behave correctly? Do I have a board that is misbehaving?

Building TF-M for ARM reference SoC/boards MPS2/MPS3 and Musca S1

by capablegh＠gmail.com

Hello. The ARM MPS2/MPS3 have Cortex M33 two processor configuration. I am building TF-M under the Zephyr OS setup. From the build it appears that the secure (TF-M) and non-secure (Zephyr OS and app) are bound and executed on separate CPUs. Assuming that two CPUs are used, in the build, is there a way to force using same one CPU for TF-M and Zephyr/app, while disabling the second CPU? Thanks.

Increasing the flash partition for the Secure Firmware in TF-M for MPS2-AN521 board emulated using Qemu

by Gowri Ramshankar

Problem: ARoT app is too large, that the image build fails. Error: /home/gramshan/zephyr-sdk-0.16.1/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: bin/tfm_s.axf section `.ER_UNPRIV_CODE' will not fit in region `FLASH' /home/gramshan/zephyr-sdk-0.16.1/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: region `FLASH' overflowed by 114956 bytes Memory region Used Size Region Size %age Used FLASH: 572684 B 447 KB 125.11% RAM: 54556 B 1 MB 5.20% To overcome this issue, I changed the flash_layout header file (https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m/blob/master/platfo…) such that the secure side size is (FLASH_S_PARTITION_SIZE) 700+KB from the 512KB default for the MPS2 AN521 app, and correspondingly update the non-secure side FLASH_NS_PARTITION_SIZEto be 300KB. This builds the tfm_merged.hex file, But fails it to boot the app. So, I do not use your ARoT, but just built as non-secure app - the 'hello_world' Zephyr app that prints a one line hello_world on the console, but using the modified partition layout. This too fails to boot, in that the "hello world" is not printed. I debugged this to find that it is BL2 that is failing. I see that the Panic occurs during the image swapping operation, this is because the image to be filled in the primary slot is identified as invalid and the secure boot stops. The TF-M thinks some firmware upgrade is happening, the integrity check fails and panics, thus inducing a Fault Injection Hardening defense. Now I am stuck with this issue and I do not know how to proceed further, any help on how to change the flash partition sizes in a clean manner would be appreciated.

Scheduling bug

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi There seem to be scheduling bug we have found in SPM. This bug is related to handling of interrupts that arrives during SVC call and assert signed for partition. Steps to reproduce: 1. Call psa_wait() from partition (e.g. mailbox partition) 2. During execution of SVC handler generate Interrupt that asserts signal of that partition (e.g. mailbox partition signal ) (adding long delay in SVC handler or adding breakpoint in SVC handler helps to easier reproduce this ) 3. Following sequence happens: * Mailbox IRQ has lower priority than SVC thus SVC is not preempted. * SVC sees that mailbox partition is blocked (as it is waiting for signal and no signals are pending) * SVC triggers pendSV i. Mailbox IRQ and pendSV are both pending * Mailbox IRQ has higher priority than pendSV thus Mailbox IRQ is executed * Mailbox IRQ calls spm_handle_interrupt i. Signal is asserted thus spm_handle_interrupt in thrd_next calls query_state_cb which returns THRD_STATE_RET_VAL_AVAIL and thus tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code is called ii. tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code sets return code using OLD value of partition PSP (as it was never updated, as it is updated in PendSV) * Mailbox IRQ return, pendsv is started and it runs mailbox partition i. Mailbox partition has 0 as signal because return value was written to wrong location is stack Patch I have attached to the mail solves this problem for us BUT it seems more like a workaround than a proper fix( Anyways it would be nice to have this problem review by SPM experts and have proper fix (maybe we have other places with same problem...)

Merging build split feature branch back to main branch

by David Hu

Hi, I’d like to give you a heads-up that build split feature branch will be merged back to main branch very soon this week. Trusted-firmware-m build split branch: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/?h=feature… Tf-m-tests build split branch: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git/tree/?h=feature-build-s… Build split feature improves how NS side integrate with TF-M SPE and therefore build commands are changed for building regression tests and PSA arch tests. Could you please refer to https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/23898 for updated commands/configuration to integrate NS side and port platforms after build split? If anything is broken after build split, please let us know. It would be also appreciated if you could contribute to build split. 😊 Any feedback or comment is welcome. Best regards, Hu Ziji

How is Secure Enclave configured?

by Sunguk Bin

I have a few questions regarding RSS and Secure Enclave to see what's required and considered for SoC design to leverage RSS and why we nee to use RSS & TF-M 1. What is the difference between RSS and Secure Enclave? - Is RSS the same as Secure Enclave? - Or is it referring to any subsystem providing runtime crypto service regardless of whether it's a Secure Enclave or not? Question below is assuming RSS is a Secure Enclave...... 2. What enables TF-M to operate as a Secure Enclave? - To operate as a Secure Enclave, HW support is mandatory? a) If so, we must use a Secure Enclave IP such as cryptoisland(CI-300P-C)? b) Or can we construct a Secure Enclave with some other IPs(LCM, KMU, CryptoCell) metioned RSS doc? (by using TF-M without secure enclave IP) It feels vague whether this can be called a Secure Enclave... https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/platform/arm/rss/rss_key_manage… - If HW support is not mandatory, I wonder how TF-M can operate as a Secure Enclave. - The article below seems to say that TF-M can provide Secure Enclave functionality without HW support. or I may misunderstand. https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.2.0/tfm/technical_re…

Non-secure client id management

by Chris.Brand＠infineon.com

Hi, Reading through https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/integration_guide/non-secure_cl… I'm wondering why so much of the work is done in the secure world. Ultimately, the secure world relies on the non-secure world to tell it the client_id, directly or indirectly. Is there a good reason for the NCSE part to reside in the secure world, rather than the non-secure? Particularly as the document states that the non-secure RTOS may have a built-in "Secure Context Manager", there may well be redundancy between that and NCSE that could be eliminated if the NCSE was in the NSPE. And the less code there is in the secure world, the less scope for vulnerabilities. If client_ids themselves were passed from the NS to the S world, it would probably be very easy to use that same interface on the NS core in a dual core system, too. Chris

Bool cast is wrong in Corestone cmake file

Hi, Seems like following code $<$<BOOL:TFM_PARTITION_PLATFORM>:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/services/src/tfm_platform_system.c> In platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt is wrong because it uses TFM_PARTITION_PLATFORM but should use ${ TFM_PARTITION_PLATFORM } If so then maybe platform maintainers can fix this.

Is 11.2-2022.02 the recommended compiler version? I saw TF-M v1.8 states: " GNU Arm compiler version *10-2020-q4-major* has an issue in CMSE support. The bug is reported in `here <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99157>`__. Select other GNU Arm compiler versions instead. GNU Arm compiler version greater and equal than *11.3.Rel1* has a linker issue in syscall. Select other GNU Arm compiler versions instead.

Build error with customized mbedcrypto configuration

by S Krishnan, Archanaa

Hello, I am trying to build TF-M v1.8 with a custom tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h . I mainly do not want to use a platform specific calloc /free calls, instead use standard free() and calloc(). If I disable MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_MEMORY and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C in tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h and attempt to build TF-M, I get the following error: /arm-none-eabi/lib/thumb/v8-m.main+fp/hard/libnosys.a(sbrk.o): in function `_sbrk': /data/jenkins/workspace/GNU-toolchain/arm-11/src/newlib-cygwin/libgloss/libnosys/sbrk.c:21: undefined reference to `end' I'm able to build mbedtls package with both MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_MEMORY and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled without any errors, the undefined reference error is only seen when building TF-M. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Regards, Archanaa

Rename TF-M branches master -> main

by Anton Komlev

Hello, Some time ago we planned to rename our master branch to main in all 6 repositories. There are multiple ways of doing that and I want to discuss with the community the best way suitable for all. I can see the following options: 1. rename master->main and use the main from one day. 2. Create the main for contribution with main->master sync. Make master R/O and delete it in 3 months. 3. Keep contributing to the master but syncing master->main. 4. Other way? I suggest option 2 but looking for better alternatives if any. Thanks, Anton

Mailbox agent API doc update - should be the final round

by Ken Liu

Hi everyone, The mailbox ns agent update document has the latest update to solidarize the API, here is the link for your review: Docs: Mailbox non-secure vectors processing (Ie4ec599c) * Gerrit Code Review (trustedfirmware.org)<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/22282> The agent-specific API should be good enough for now to handle different mailbox implementation cases, such as memory-based or non-memory-based. * Non-secure provided vectors can be referenced directly to avoid extra copy. * For non-memory-based schemes, the vectors have to be collected locally in NS Agent. We are also updating the code to validate the new API, may touch those platforms that are mailbox-related, please take care of the patches as well.

S/MIME email certificate usage in Mbed TLS library

by nagarajan.rak＠gmail.com

Our requirement is to send email securely from our embedded device running on STM32H7 processor. There's an SMTP client application (implemented using Mbed TLS library) running on this device, which will send emails to the recipient via custom/public email server such as smtp.gmail.com. We are planning to use S/MIME email certificate from the one of the Trusted CA, for encryption of the email message and authentication of the client/server. We learnt that each S/MIME email certificate support only one email address, but we will be having multiple devices running on the field and each device will have unique email address from which email will be sent. Getting S/MIME email certificate for device will not be feasible, is there any better way we can handle this scenario effectively. Your response to this problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nagaraj

Hybrid platforms discussion follow up.

by Anton Komlev

Hi, On the last tech forum (June 22) we started discussion on multicore hybrid platforms. By this mail I’d like to follow up and continue offline analyses on new use-cases and requirements for TF-M design update. The recorded session is available here: https://linaro-org.zoom.us/rec/share/yseF-mYwUTtHHPkQJQO6IEv72xCd0Lz1pQQecc…, Passcode: 5s=Npv=w and slides: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/docs/tech_forum_20230622_Hybrid_platforms.p… The current plan is to take time, think on the use-cases and map them on requirements. With more thought and materials, we will have another session about September time to define our needs in the support of new type of platform. Please share your thoughts in reply. Thanks, Anton

Design update: Choose ABI for partition interfaces by checking boundaries

by Xinyu Zhang

Hi, We are planning to update the mechanism on partition interface ABI selection in IPC model. In current Implementation, cross call ABI is chosen in Isolation Level 1, and SVC call ABI is chosen in Isolation Level 2&3. However, interfaces are actually the bridge between SPM and caller partitions. If one partition shares the same boundary with SPM, cross call ABI is the choice; while if one partition does not share the same boundary with SPM, a SVC ABI is the proper choice. But, a simple comparison between two boundary values cannot be used for checking if the two boundaries are the same one - these values might be encoded with bit fields and contains more info than memory regions. Hence the comparison should be done by who generated them - the isolation HAL implementation in platform sources. So here comes to the following design: 1. In HAL function tfm_hal_bind_boundary, encode p_ldinf into boundary value, so that there is no need to pass both p_ldinf and boundary value to switch boundary. 1. Implement a HAL function to compare boundaries and switch boundary if needed. tfm_hal_status_t tfm_hal_switch_boundary( uintptr_t target_boundary, uintptr _t current_boundary, uint32_t compare_only, /* 0: Switch boundary if they are different, 1: Only compare whether the boundaries are different and do not switch */ uint32_t* compare_result); /* Tell the caller whether the boundaries are different */ 1. Select correct type of ABI when processing metadata of partition based on boundary. void prv_process_metadata(struct partition_t *p_pt) { ... tfm_hal_switch_boundary(SPM_BOUNDARY, p_pt->boundary, 1, *compare_result); if (compare_result == 1) { p_rt_meta->psa_fns = &psa_api_svc; } else { p_rt_meta->psa_fns = &psa_api_cross; } ... } Please let us know if you have any suggestion. Thanks, Xinyu

Why client API is built with tfm_sprt target?

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, I'm wondering why client API is build with tfm_sprt target (Secure Partition Runtime Library)? Client API is used by non-secure clients and secure clients. It means that static library is built once, but used with two different images. And it's expected that such images can use different types of cores, compilation settings, etc... Probably it make sense to build this target in scope of psa_interface. Regards, Roman.

mbedtls_platform_setup/teardown in TF-M ?

by Rehan Malak

Dear TF-M developers, I am currently adapting a basic MbedTLS / PSA Crypto example such that it would run on the NS side with TF-M doing the crypto. At the end, this is very similar to this psa_sign_verify_message_test from the NS crypto test suite : https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git/tree/test/secure_fw/sui… But my build config of MbedTLS has MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT enabled because I have a custom mbedtls_platform_setup / mbedtls_platform_teardown. And I can't see any place in TF-M where mbedtls_platform_setup/mbedtls_platform_teardown are called : ? -> mbedtls_platform_setup ? -> mbedtls_platform_teardown At first, I tried to put this code into the psa_driver_wrapper_init/psa_driver_wrapper_free but I have a similar problem : tfm_crypto_engine_init -> psa_crypto_init -> psa_driver_wrapper_init ? -> mbedtls_psa_crypto_free -> psa_driver_wrapper_free Is there any cmake/Kconfig option or any C macros to hook TF-M initialization/shutdown with mbedtls_platform_setup/mbedtls_platform_teardown without patching TF-M ? If not, could mbedtls_platform_setup be called here ? https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/secure_fw/… or is there a nicer way of doing this ? (btw, I am currently experimenting on qemu mps2-an521) Thanks for any advice ! 🙂 Best regards, Rehan MALAK Intrinsic ID

Configuration order

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi Andrey, Patch 21339<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/21339> introduced changes of configuration order: 1. Platform configuration via TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE. 2. Project configuration via PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE 3. config_base.h It means that target can't change configuration that is expected to be changed by project. Example: 1. Platform must redefine ITS_STACK_SIZE to satisfy driver requirements. The good way for this is to set ITS_STACK_SIZE in config_tfm_target.h. 2. Project developer need to perform some additional debugging or profiling of the product, so the TF-M must be built with extra code that require additional stack size. It means that project developer need to #undef ITS_STACK_SIZE and then redefine it using #define ITS_STACK_SIZE. But this #undef/#define approach is not safe, because it's possible to calculate some other settings using configuration variable in config_tfm_target.h or perform additional configuration validation by config_tfm_target.h. It looks like the new changes created another bunch of problems for TF-M configuration. Regards, Roman.

ST support for secure peripheral partition

by Spinnler, Christian

Hi all, I am currently trying out TF-M together with Zephyr and therefore ported it to the Nucleo-U575ZI-Q evaluation board. I started to struggle when trying to implement an example for a custom Secure Partition (SP) which should access peripherals. I recognized, that the `target_cfg.*` throughout different vendors follow different design principles. E.g. for Nordic controllers an example is given with their nordic-sdk on how to implement peripheral access for a SP (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.0.0/nrf/samples/tfm/…). For ST devices I tried to transfer this, however, where unsuccessful so far as for the ST microcontrollers the peripheral definitions are missing, and things are just different. Is there any example for ST controllers on how to make specific peripherals only accessible through SPE? Is this currently supported for ST devices? And another question, as the Embedded Open Source Summit arises, is TF-M represented somewhere on conferences?

ARMCLANG protections bug

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, In GCC linker scripts ands of sections are aligned using following syntax: . = ALIGN(TFM_LINKER_XXX_ALIGNMENT); But in ARMClang TFM does not use similar approach, instead it creates Position tags sections like following: TFM_APP_CODE_START +0 ALIGN TFM_LINKER_APP_ROT_LINKER_CODE_ALIGNMENT EMPTY 0x0 { } TFM_APP_ROT_LINKER +0 ALIGN TFM_LINKER_APP_ROT_LINKER_CODE_ALIGNMENT { *tfm_app_rot_partition* (+RO-CODE, +RO-DATA) *libplatform_s* (TFM_*_APP-ROT_ATTR_FN) *.o (TFM_*_APP-ROT_ATTR_FN) } /* * This empty, zero long execution region is here to mark the end address * of APP RoT code. */ TFM_APP_CODE_END +0 ALIGN TFM_LINKER_APP_ROT_LINKER_CODE_ALIGNMENT EMPTY 0x0 { } I believe this is done because clang does not have syntaxes for aligning end of the section (please correct me if I am wrong). This approach results in bug in TFM_UNPRIV_CODE section protections, because TFM_UNPRIV_CODE Base and Limit are used directly and Limit is not aligned. For now this problem stayed undetected because present platforms does not validate region_limit when applying protections. I have created this patch<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/21169> , which adds validation of region_limit and ran Ci on it and I can see that CI failed in tests for Clang builds So I guess this is the problem that have to be fixed. I see following possible solutions: 1. Align and of TFM_UNPRIV_CODE section (but I guess clang does not support that) 2. Add position tags for _START and END Solution 1 will simpler as it will not require changed in platform code, but I guess clang syntaxes is limiting us here. So my question would be whether there is a plan to fix this issue ?

TFM Corstone1000 Cmake Error

by 박진국

Hi all. I am trying to port TFM using the corstone1000 platform. Previously, I was using the 1.7.0 version. TFM version was recently updated and I am trying to use the 1.8.0 version by downloading it from the site below. https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git As instructed by the site below ( https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/platform/arm/corstone1000/readm… ) I executed the command below. cmake -B build/ -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<tf-m-root>/toolchain_GNUARM. cmake -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/corstone1000 -DTEST_NS=OFF -DTEST_S=ON -DTEST_S_PS=OFF -DTEST_S_PLATFORM=OFF -DEXTRA_S_TEST_SUITE_PATH=platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/ci_regression_tests/ However, I got a cmake error as shown below. - Build type: Debug -- Host: Linux/x86_64 -- Target: Generic/arm -- Machine: template -- Host: Linux/x86_64 -- Target: Generic/arm -- Machine: template -- C_FLAGS : -mcpu=cortex-m0plus -Wall -Wextra CMake Error at platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt:144 (target_sources): Cannot specify sources for target "platform_bl1" which is not built by this project.

CMake Error at platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt:175 (target_include_directories): Cannot specify include directories for target "platform_bl1_interface" which is not built by this project. I think this is caused by the target for platform_bl1 not being specified, but I don't know how to fix it. I executed cmake using the same configuration as set in corstone1000's config.cmake. Can anyone tell me why I am getting the above error? Any advice would be very helpful. thanks you.

Previously, I was using the 1.7.0 version.  TFM version was recently updated and I am trying to use the 1.8.0 version by downloading it from the site below. https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git As instructed by the site below  (https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/platform/arm/corstone1000/readm…) I executed the command below. cmake -B build/ -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<tf-m-root>/toolchain_GNUARM. cmake -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/corstone1000 -DTEST_NS=OFF -DTEST_S=ON -DTEST_S_PS=OFF -DTEST_S_PLATFORM=OFF -DEXTRA_S_TEST_SUITE_PATH=platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/ci_regression_tests/ However, I got a cmake error as shown below. - Build type: Debug -- Host: Linux/x86_64 -- Target: Generic/arm -- Machine: template -- Host: Linux/x86_64 -- Target: Generic/arm -- Machine: template -- C_FLAGS : -mcpu=cortex-m0plus -Wall -Wextra CMake Error at platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt:144 (target_sources):   Cannot specify sources for target "platform_bl1" which is not built by this   project. CMake Error at platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt:168 (target_compile_definitions):   Cannot specify compile definitions for target "platform_bl1" which is not   built by this project. CMake Error at platform/ext/target/arm/corstone1000/CMakeLists.txt:175 (target_include_directories):   Cannot specify include directories for target "platform_bl1_interface"   which is not built by this project. I think this is caused by the target for platform_bl1 not being specified, but I don't know how to fix it. I executed cmake using the same configuration as set in corstone1000's config.cmake. Can anyone tell me why I am getting the above error? Any advice would be very helpful. thanks you.

Using bitwise or (|) / and (&) in Clang scatter file

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi For our platform we use some ,across which should set/clear bit 28 of an address (see code below). We do this for convenience reasons. #define IFX_S_ADDRESS_ALIAS(x) ((x) | 0x10000000) #define IFX_NS_ADDRESS_ALIAS(x) ((x) & ~0x10000000) Those macros are used in declaration of S_CODE_START macro. When expended in linker script (tfm_isolation_l3.o), the declaration of LR_CODE section looks as follows: LR_CODE (0x24000000 | 0x10000000) (0x4B000) { This code results in following error: tfm_isolation_l3.o", line 46 (column 21): Error: L6292E: Ignoring unknown attribute '|' specified for region LR_CODE. I tried experimenting with this and found out that when | is changed to or (see following code) then linker works fine: LR_CODE (0x24000000 or 0x10000000) (0x4B000) { Same problem is present when using bitwise and (&). But when using bitwise NOT (~0x...) everything works fine. Having to define our macros in different way brings some problems for our platform, so maybe someone knows how to solve this problem? Maybe there are compilation flags or something like that? Ideally we want | and & to work fine in linker script. Thanks!

Trying to debug TF-M across NS/S boundary

by Lena Boeckmann

Hi! I found the e-mail below from 2020 and this is exactly where I'm at right now: I have a Zephyr application with TF-M flashed on an nrf9160dk and managed to open a debugging session following the explanation here: https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/platform/nxp/lpcxpresso55s69/RE… (might be good to mention in the documentation that this also works on other platforms or have a general "Debug with GDB section"). So far I can either debug the secure image or or the non-secure image, but I would actually like to see the communication between the two. Is it even possible to debug across the boundary? I'm not very experienced in using GDB (except for the basics). Is there some kind of TF-M specific tutorial or explanation by now? Or is there anyone who can give me a hint on how to do this?
