Re: Inquiry on Overriding ITS Parameters in TF-M via Zephyr

by Jain, Saurabh

Hi Anton Thank you for your response. Let me break it down a bit. 1. We have several subsystems running on the non-secure side that require certain sensitive metadata to be stored in ITS. 2. Default values of ITS parameters are insufficient. 3. While building the Zephyr app with TF-M, NS-side (during build) passes these overriding values to CMake, which adds the specified preprocessor definitions to the compiler flags of TF-M, ensuring they are available during compilation. 4. Zephyr already has the harness for this flow. This entire flow currently doesn’t work if we don’t explicitly use these preprocessors in TF-M CMake files. Using a custom profile is not feasible for us because the overriding values are provided by the NS side based on their specific needs. Additionally, even when we attempt to provide these parameters through the command line while building only TF-M (without NS-side), we encounter the same warning: "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project." This warning indicates that these parameters are not being utilized in the CMake scripts (which make sense). I guess the question would be is there a way to override these parameters from command-line, while being platform agnostic? If not, is there any specific reason we chose not to, other than this approach could potentially override the platform specific configuration, like you suggested? We would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to properly handle this scenario. If needed, we can discuss this further in the next TF-M Tech forum, like you suggested. Regards Saurabh On 1/24/25, 12:47 PM, "Anton Komlev via TF-M" <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> wrote: Hi Saurabh, If I understand you correctly, you're looking to modify the ITS_MAX_ASSET definition, which is a build-time option and cannot be changed post S-side build. Could you please explain your scenario for wanting to update it from the NS-side? You're correct that a platform can redefine certain options which is intended behavior, allowing platforms to either override or verify these settings. For more details, you can refer to the TF-M configuration priorities here: https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/index.html… <https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/index.html…>. The highest priority is the command line, which can override options even those defined in platforms. We should proceed cautiously with this approach, as there might be reasons why platforms alter the default configuration. A recommended alternative is to create a custom profile and place all your options there, though some platforms might still overwrite them as expected. We can discuss this further in the next TF-M Tech forum if you wish.

Slow PSA Protected Storage (PS) API write operations

by Ylinen, Juha

Hi Everyone, During our investigation into the slow write operations of the PSA Protected Storage (PS) API, we identified that numerous (>10) flash erase calls occur when executing psa_ps_set() or psa_ps_remove(). A significant portion of these erase calls is linked to the rollback protection mechanism, specifically for updating Non-Volatile (NV) counters. A potential improvement we are considering is to differentiate rollback protection requirements based on the type of flash memory being used. * For systems utilizing internal flash, we suggest possibility to disable rollback protection when encryption is enabled. This improves speed of write and remove operations and reduces the flash wear. * Rollback protection should be enabled when protected storage is located in external flash to ensure data integrity and security Currently, there is a Kconfig option, CONFIG_TFM_PS_ROLLBACK_PROTECTION, to disable rollback protection. However, a build-time check requires that PS encryption is also disabled, as referenced here: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… To better align rollback protection with the type of flash memory, there is the possibility of updating the macro rule. This could involve either removing the existing rollback protection check or adding a new rule based on the flash type, enforcing rollback protection only for external flash. While introducing a Kconfig option for the flash memory type is a potential solution, it raises concerns about reduced security in cases of misconfiguration. Your insights on how to address this would be invaluable. Thank you in advance for your input! Best regards, Juha Ylinen

[RFC] Add a RPC callback to identify mailbox IRQ source

by David Hu

Hi all, When TF-M RPC callbacks were introduced to support multi-core mailbox handling, typically only a single mailbox interrupt source was available on a multi-core system. Therefore, in the initial design, RPC callback handle_req(void) doesn't pass any information of mailbox interrupt source to platform mailbox drivers. Recently, some platforms, such as RSE based ones, consists of multiple mailbox interrupt sources. I notice that those platforms fetch and parse mailbox messages in their mailbox IRQ handlers. It can take quite a long time in IRQ handlers and doesn't get full benefits from Second-Level Interrupt Handling. Due to the limitation of RPC callback handle_req(void), those platforms are unable to move mailbox message handling to threaded NS Agent Mailbox SP context. I'd propose to add a new RPC callback handle_req_irq_src(irq_src) to pass mailbox interrupt source information to platform drivers. With this information, platform drivers can identify the source and select the corresponding handler to fetch, parse and dispatch mailbox messages in NS Agent Mailbox SP context, instead of in IRQ handlers. If platform owners are all satisfied with this new RPC callback, I also wonder if it can replace the existing handle_req() in future, assumed no backward compatible issues are raised. Please can you review the patches: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/34317/1? Any comment is welcome. Thank you. Best regards, David Hu

Hybrid Platform NSPE (Solution.2)

by Nicola Mazzucato

Hi All, I pushed for initial testing and review a series of patches to support the Scheduling-NSPE Hybrid Platform Solution (aka Solution-2). A "Hybrid Platform" is an extension of the MULTICORE case where applications also run in the NS-side of the core that hosts TF-M SPE. Patches can be found at this gerrit topic (hybrid-plat-nspe): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22hybrid-plat-nspe%22. All the patches are Request-For-Comments (RFC) and the community is welcome to provide feedback on such changes/proposal. The "Hybrid Platform" support coming to TF-M has been discussed a few times in the past and slides and recordings are available in the technical forum past events: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-m-technical-forum/. This presented solution follows the main ideas presented in the past. However, since the last presentations, some adjustments have been done, in particular around: - naming: we won't use numbers for solutions, like Sol.1, 2 etc, but instead we name them: _SPE, _NSPE etc, to make immediately clear the use-case. - "simple first" approach: we aim to provide a "simple" solution in the attempt to provide an initial reference and keep the core code readable, compact and testable. If there are significant use-cases to be included, please share your feedback and we'll find a best solution. Kindly expect some changes on these proposed patches above while I rebase, perform some other tests and need to refactor some portions. Expected timeline for Hybrid Platform Solution: - SPE-support: already merged into mainline - NSPE-support (this series above), merge within two months (end of Feb-25), provided that there will be no disruptive changes - BALANCED-support: a new set will be available around the middle of 2025 (subject to change). Many thanks in advance and happy New Year.

FPU S16-S31 registers

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, We found the problem with FPU S16-S31 registers if FPU is enabled and compiler uses S16-S31 FPU registers on CM33 non-secure code with TZ agent. SPM doesn't save/restore S16-S31 registers properly nor by PendSV neither by FLIH SVC handler. I created a patch for this problem: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/34202 The second problem I found is related to lazy stacking. It's possible that float point context will be stacked by MCU when FLIH is switching to/from background thread after a new boundary is applied. As result it's possible that the non-privileged code will no have access to PSP stack of suspended partition because a new MPU settings are applied. Please review a patch for this problem: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/34203 Regards, Roman.

Re: Backwards compatibility of Protected Storage implementation (TF-M 1.8.1 -> 2.1.1)

by FLOC'H Tanguy

Hello, We are facing the same compatibility break issues, during a TF-M 1.7.0 -> 2.1.0 migration. - About the problem [1] (commit ffd13c3) Is there any plan to implement a mechanism, to migrate old Protected Storage objects, to the new format? - About the problem [2] (client id). There is also a compatibility break, on keys stored in Internal Trusted Storage (ITS). A key generated from NS, with TF-M 1.7.0, can not be read anymore after TF-M 2.1.0 migration (psa_key_attributes returns PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE). Changing client_id_limit from value -0x3c000000 to -1 makes old keys available. Is there a cleaner option, to support backward compatibility with keys created with client id = -1? Best regards, T.

connection-based MMIOVEC

by Quach, Brian

Hi, I am trying to use connection-based (instead of SFN) Crypto service with MMIOVEC, but I noticed that iovec_status is not automatically cleared so the second psa_call causes a TFM panic due to detection of a previously mapped IOVEC. FF spec says: [cid:image001.png@01DB3B6B.1D4E93F0] In tfm_crypto_call_srv(), I see the output vecs are unmapped but not the input vectors. Should the inputs be unmapped here as well? (psa_attest_get_token also does not unmap input vecs) status = tfm_crypto_init_iovecs(msg, in_vec, in_len, out_vec, out_len); if (status != PSA_SUCCESS) { return status; } tfm_crypto_set_caller_id(msg->client_id); /* Call the dispatcher to the functions that implement the PSA Crypto API */ status = tfm_crypto_api_dispatcher(in_vec, in_len, out_vec, out_len); #if PSA_FRAMEWORK_HAS_MM_IOVEC == 1 for (i = 0; i < out_len; i++) { if (out_vec[i].base != NULL) { psa_unmap_outvec(msg->handle, i, out_vec[i].len); } } #else /* Write into the IPC framework outputs from the scratch */ for (i = 0; i < out_len; i++) { psa_write(msg->handle, i, out_vec[i].base, out_vec[i].len); } Currently, to clear the connection's iovec_status, I have to call psa_close() after every psa_call() and reconnect with psa_connect() before the next psa_call() which adds overhead. Is this behavior of not automatically clearing iovec_status for connection-based services by design? As an alternative to calling psa_unmap_invecs(), I was wondering if spm_get_connection()/spm_get_idle_connection() could be modified with the following workaround to avoid needing to close/connect: #if CONFIG_TFM_CONNECTION_BASED_SERVICE_API == 1 connection = handle_to_connection(handle); if (!connection) { return PSA_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_ERROR; } if (spm_validate_connection(connection) != PSA_SUCCESS) { return PSA_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_ERROR; } /* WORKAROUND */ #if PSA_FRAMEWORK_HAS_MM_IOVEC connection->iovec_status &= 0xFFFF0000; // Clear status of input vecs #endif /* Validate the caller id in the connection handle equals client_id. */ if (connection->msg.client_id != client_id) { return PSA_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_ERROR; } /* * It is a PROGRAMMER ERROR if the connection is currently * handling a request. */ if (connection->status != TFM_HANDLE_STATUS_IDLE) { return PSA_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_ERROR; } if (!(connection->service)) { /* FixMe: Need to implement a mechanism to resolve this failure. */ return PSA_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_ERROR; } #else Regards, Brian Quach SimpleLink MCU Texas Instruments Inc. 12500 TI Blvd, MS F-4000 Dallas, TX 75243 214-479-4076

Re: Backwards compatibility of Protected Storage implementation (TF-M 1.8.1 -> 2.1.1)

by Miika Karanki

Hi Anton and Chris, Thank you for your replies. I have TFM_NS_MANAGE_NSID set to off. That does not prevent client_id translation to happen. `tfm_nspm_get_current_client_id` seems to do translation unconditionally here: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git…. But as said, setting client_id_limit in code to -1 helps. Maybe there could be additional configuration #define whether to do translation when TFM_NS_MANAGE_NSID is off. Transition approach to convert the old PS data format to new one on the flash when reading data in new format fails sounds reasonable assuming there's no security problems involved in retrying to read the objects using the old format after a failure. Probably not. It anyways sounds better than supporting the old one "forever". At least to me, being able to do that transition would require a bit of learning what exactly was the old and what is the new layout. If there's some material in addition to source code, I'd be happy to check that. -Miika ke 27.11.2024 klo 23.01 Chris.Brand--- via TF-M ( tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org) kirjoitti: > Hi Miika, > > > > Unfortunately there have been a couple of changes to the way that PS data > is stored in flash.

Backwards compatibility of Protected Storage implementation (TF-M 1.8.1 -> 2.1.1)

by Miika Karanki

Hi, I am working on an update from TF-M 1.8.1 to TF-M 2.1.1 on a board that uses encrypted Protected Storage. The board used is stm32 b_u585i_iot02a, NSPE side using Zephyr OS. I want to support field updates as well for devices already having Protected Storage objects created from NSPE. In my case, Protected Storage is created and used by TF-M 1.8.1, and I want it to remain functional after upgrading to TF-M 2.1.1. PS_CRYPTO_AEAD_ALG is set to (default) PSA_ALG_GCM. I have faced two issues with the uplift: 1. It seems commit ffd13c3 ( https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-M/trusted-firmware-m/commit/ffd13c31d5e6…) has changed the layout how Protected Storage objects are stored into flash. With TF-M 2.1.1 and old PS data, PS init fails (or gets recreated if PS_CREATE_FLASH_LAYOUT, which I don't want since then all the existing objects would get erased). If I revert the commit (and https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… as not to have conflicts), then the PS initialization can pass and objects are decrypted successfully. I have not been able to understand this thoroughly, but at least change in `union ps_crypto_t` struct member order is changing padding (sizeof 48 -> 40), and that in turn seems to shift at least additional data by 8 bytes via `#define PS_NON_AUTH_OBJ_TABLE_SIZE sizeof(union ps_crypto_t)`. Is this compatibility issue "a bug" in 2.1.1 or expected by design? 2. PS objects in 1.8.1 were storing client id to the object table entry to implement access control (?). With 1.8.1, the client id that got stored was -1. With 2.1.1, likely due to the Mailbox NS Agent Design Update ( https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/design_docs/dual-cpu/mailbox_ns…), non-secure requests to get an object seems to pass client ID -0x3c000000 to the Protected Storage implementation. That is, client id -1 seems to be transformed to `client_id_limit`. Due to this, `psa_ps_get_info()` fails to get an object that has been previously made with 1.8.1 FW. I am able to get reading of old stored objects working by changing `client_id_limit` from value -0x3c000000 to -1 which changes to use 1-to-1 mapping when using client_id=-1. But I am unsure if this change causes some unwanted side effects. Is this the correct way to gain backwards compatibility? And if it is, would it make sense to pick https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… into 2.1.x branch and add a configuration flag for the 1-to-1 mapping support without code change for backwards compatibility?

FPU use with TF-M

by Jain, Saurabh

Hi We’re developing a platform using TF-M and would like to get some clarity on using FPU on Secure and Non-Secure side. The idea is to let NS application decide if it wants to use FPU. Currently, we are enabling CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_FP which means we’re setting CPACR.CP10, CPACR.CP11 and enabling NSACR.CP10, NSACR.CP11. With this configuration: 1. Is it okay if SE perform some FP operation which would set CONTROL.FPCA and return to NSE (CPACR_NS.CP10 and CPACR_NS.CP11 are not set) while CONTROL.FPCA is still set? 2. With the above configuration, if NSE wants to use FPU, it simply needs to enable CPACR_NS.CP10 and CPACR_NS.CP11. Is this correct? 3. If SE doesn’t require FPU, we could simply enable CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_CP10CP11 (CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_FP is OFF) and NS app would still be able access FPU after enabling CPACR_NS bits? 4. There is a hard requirement for the -mfloat-abi to be consistent for S, NS and all the static libraries used? Thank you in advance! Best Saurabh Jain

TF-M Small Profile with Initial Attestation - Related Query

by Srinivasan, Jayashree

Hello, I have been trying to test the initial attestation feature using the regression build for a platform that we are developing. TF-M small profile has been configured, which enables symmetric key-based attestation. On running the regression tests, the TFM_NS_ATTEST_TEST_2001 testcase fails. On further debugging, I found that the static buffer that mbedtls uses for its allocation is not sufficient ( CRYPTO_ENGINE_BUF_SIZE = 0x400 in small profile). When I increase the buffer size to 0x500, the testcase passes. Therefore, I wanted to know if this change needs to be adopted upstream or if I might be overlooking something on my end. Any leads in this regard would be helpful. Thanks, Jayashree

ARM PPC Driver invocation

by Michael Khoyilar

Hi Team, Thanks for you helps. This this time I want to know how does PPC functions will be called from application to set a possible feature? The question is how PPC functions are exposed to outside world? I know we have a common ARM API in under platform/ext/driver/Driver_PPC.h I am mapping my PPCs to this API, however wondering how they might be called that refer to my specific PPCs ? I am not using the ARM naming for my PPCs drivers, for example not using the name Driver_AHB_PPCEXP0 (using the name Driver_APB_PPCBASE0). Thank you again. Michael

Query on Storing OTP-Provisioned Values in ITS during Service Initialization

by Jain, Saurabh

Hello We have some platform-specific values provisioned in OTP that we need to retrieve and store in ITS (with encryption enabled) during initialization. We could do something similar to template file crypto_nv_seed.c, where the tfm_plat_crypto_provision_entropy_seed function is invoked from tfm_crypto_engine_init within secure_fw/partitions/crypto/crypto_init.c. However, we have a few questions: 1. Adding something similar in tfm_its_init won’t work as psa_its_* would again call into ITS via SPM which could be a problem? Also there is no hook in its_init to add platform specific routines as well? Is this correct? 2. Since crypto_init.c is part of secure_fw/, we’re uncertain about adding new platform-specific routines directly in tfm_crypto_engine_init. If this is not advisable, could you suggest an ideal place for implementing this functionality? 3. Regarding the SFN model, our understanding is that SPM initializes all partitions (and their respective services) before transitioning control to the NS side. Could you confirm if this is correct? We want to make sure that the provisioned values are stored in ITS before receiving request from NS client. Thank you for your guidance! Saurabh

ITS Encryption

by Jain, Saurabh

Hi All I am quite new to TF-M and would like some insight into the query below. I appreciate any help you can provide. We're adding encryption support for ITS and for nonce requirement, we're thinking of accessing TRNG which is part of the crypto partition. Now, we're aware of the possible cyclic dependency issue with the IPC model but since we're using the SFN model, will it be okay to access crypto service(TRNG) from ITS? In other words, would cyclic dependency be a concern in SFN model provided there are no limitations on hardware? Thanks in advance. Saurabh
