Hi all,
I have 3 patches on review (/2149<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2149/>, /2148<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2148/>, /2147<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2147/>) that will change the interface between MCUBoot and the runtime SW. Currently the bootloader passes the measured boot status data
to the attestation service through a shared memory area as individual claims (in TLV format). With these changes the boot status data will be encoded to CBOR format at build time
and will be added to the image manifest during the image signing process. The bootloader will share this data the same way as before (as a new type of TLV), however the attestation
service will have to handle this data differently as it's already CBOR encoded.
This can cause the attestation tests to fail if an older MCUBoot image has been used with a newer build of the secure image or vice versa. To address this issuse / provide backward
compatibility the new 'ATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE' variable will be introduced in the build system (in one of the above patches) to be able to get back the old behavior. For this the
'ATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE' variable has to be set to "INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS" in the CMake configuration step:
"cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DPROJ_CONFIG=../configs/ConfigRegression.cmake -DTARGET_PLATFORM=AN521 -DCOMPILER=GNUARM
-DATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE=INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS ../"
The old behavior will be retained for a while, however we have an intention to remove it entirely from the code in the future.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'd also welcome any feedback on the reviews.
Best regards,
David Vincze
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the suggestion and the clarifications provided to Ken.
During the course of the mail thread, you raised a design principle issue as well as implementation details, and I'll try to address the design principle question later as that is an important topic, but first allow me to touch on one implementation detail for this specific feature:
While convenient in GCC, weak symbols are not defined by the C99 standard and their use and syntax is therefore compiler-specific, which is not good from a portability point of view and may cause difficulties with different toolchains. In my opinion a preprocessor-based solution e.g. in the switch-case of the generic SVC handler would be more portable. Could you check the feasibility of that approach? The default expansion could be empty for platforms that do not implement platform-specific SVC handlers, and an arbitrary list of additional case statements for SVC numbers implemented by the platform code for your platform.
Please let us know your thoughts,
Miklos

I agree with the approach you suggest.
I planned to put the non-weak implementation in the same directory as spm_hal.c and target_cfg.c, etc. I’ll name the file “platform_svc_hal.c“ to reflect the common/platform_svc.c it is related to.

I think I’ve already provided the changes I propose. The ‘default’ case will be for the SVC handler to invoke the provided weak defined function as shown. If a non-weak version of the function exists during the link process, the non-weak implementation will be invoked instead.
My intent is to provide a proprietary non-weak implementation of “custom_ipc_svc_handlers()”.

Ken,
If I understand the proposal, I’m afraid the latency and overhead associated with every peripheral register access (read or write) would be completely unacceptable for our requirements.

Hi Alan,
The secure service is allowed to access some peripherals they want (introduce them in the manifest file), which means if you want to access a I2C device you can just (ALL CODE HERE IS PSEUDO CODE AND IS NOT REAL):
I2c_write (I2C_ADDR, SLAVE_ADDR, value);
While:
I2c_write(addr, value) { *host_reg_slave_addr = addr; *host_reg_slave_data = value; *host_reg_control_go = 1; }
The reason of providing the SVC interface is because the APP RoT Service may want to access some registers but they could not because those registers may be set as privileged.
The secure service needs to handle the hardware driver in their own domain instead of putting all drivers into core.
So the in the handler there would be permission checking:
case SVC_ACCESS_RESOUCE:
If (spm_check_address_ownership(addr, CURRENT_SP))
ret = do_access(addr, data, sz, flags);
And the IIC_WRITE was implemented as:
I2c_write(addr, value) { *host_reg_slave_addr = addr; *host_reg_slave_data = value; *host_reg_control_go = 1; }
Now turned into:
I2c_write(addr, value) { SVC_ACCESS(host_reg_slave_addr, addr, flag), SVC_ACCESS(host_reg_slave_data, value, flag), SVC_ACCESS(host_reg_control_go, 1, flag)}
But if you are saying that, there are some even more complex logics for example some I2C devices can be accessed under privileged only while all the rest can be accessed freely, yes, the interface I proposed is limited. In this case you can introduce the customized logic into core with some new SVC.
If the previous line is your case, please go on with the modification in the first mail, the modification looks okay, and let's discuss base on the patches.
Thanks.

Ken,
There are certain resources that can only be interrogated in secure privilege mode on our platform. Nonetheless, unprivileged SP code (ie level 2) will need to be informed of content available in those privileged resources. As TFM has claimed ownership of the SVC handler, I need to extend that SVC handler to provide the functionality our SP services require.

Hi All,
I'm planning to change the way secure services are called in Library model.
The design proposal can be found here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2201/
Please note that the changes proposed by this document does not affect the PSA dev API, and does not affect IPC model.
Please share your opinion in gerrit comments
Thanks,
Mate
Hi,
This would test the interface for NS and S with the set, get and remove with maximum `SST_MAX_ASSET_SIZE` and different sizes for all platforms (including feature-twincpu targets in the near future).
It uses a common 4K buffer in total to assist with read and write of asset data.
We need to make sure we are able to perform this operation flawlessly on all the targets.
Patch Review Request:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2167https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2168
Thanks & Best Regards,
Vikas Katariya

Hi Thomas,
One way this can happen is if the QSPI driver is being executed in place from QSPI, so the device is never idle because instructions are being fetched from it.
On Musca-A, MCUboot is copied to Code SRAM before being executed to avoid this issue. There is some code in the Armclang/GCC scatter/startup files to support this. Is there something similar implemented for the IAR port?
Best wishes,
Jamie

I'm trying to bring up TF-M on the Musca A with IAR Embedded Workbench and I'm having issues in mcuboot where the boot hangs with the following
stack:
---
qspi_ip6514e_is_idle
qspi_ip6514e_set_spi_mode
set_spi_mode
mt25ql_config_mode
ARM_Flash_Initialize
main
[_call_main + 0xd]

Apparently the idle bit (31) in the qspi_cfg register (0x4010a000) never gets set so it loops there.
I have no programmers manual for the Cadence qspi ip6514e so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the issue might be.
Obviously something is different between the images built with armclang and gcc, which works properly, and the image I've built with IAR.
Ideas anyone?

and gcc, which works properly, and the image I've built with IAR.
Ideas anyone?

Subject: Design proposal for HW crypto key integration in TF-M secure boot
Hi all,
PSA Trusted Boot and Firmware Update specification requires the support of at least one immutable root of trust public key (ROTPK) for firmware verification. It is beneficial to be able to provision these keys during the factory life-cycle of the device independently from any software components. The current key handling solution in TF-M secure boot does not supports this key provisioning process. MCUBoot requires compile time built-in public key(s) for image verification.
The following design proposal addressing this issue:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1453/
Feel free to add any comments you want on the review!

Hi Thomas,
We tried to enable the "-pedantic-errors" flags and finished some fix. Some of them mentioned in your last
mail has been pushed, and updated at:
https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T475
The reason we do not enable it as default is that there some sources files from the external project, which
causes inconvenience to enable this.
Please help to review these patch to see if it is acceptable for the issue for now, after that we could find a
chance to merge it. And we can enable this flag internally and create more patches to fix the tf-m native source
in future.
Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
This is a very helpful suggestion. Since I am doing some cleanup these days, let me try this option and see how much we need to improve.
I have created an task for tracking this: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T475
And, do you have an error report could be share? You can attch the log in the task if you do have some.
Thanks.

Subject: [TF-M] Please enable -pedantic-errors for gcc builds
I'm now looking at compilation issues with our standards compliant compiler, and I run into one issue after another that are due to the use of non-standard C allowed by gcc and armclang.
Things like zero sized arrays, which are fairly easy to fix by making sure that they have at least one element, but there are other issues that may not be as easy to solve.
The latest issue is illegal pointer arithmetic on void * in the IPC code.

I suggest enabling "-pedantic-errors" for gcc, and also for clang, if it has a similar setting, to avoid having illegal C code creeping into tf-m.

This is a notification of a patch I pushed yesterday.
It consists of standard C source cleanup and initial toolchain support
for IAR Embedded Workbench.
The target is Musca A and I will provide further support for the psoc6
once the twincpu branch has been merged to master.
The Musca A port is not yet fully functional but debugging is in progress.
Thanks,

Hi Mate,
Thanks for the detailed explanation and confirmation that the SAU region number reference can be removed.
This will enable using CMSIS-Zone to configure also TF-M in an easy way.
I would appreciate if some can create a ticket to track progress.

Subject: Re: [TF-M] TF-M / CMSIS-Zone Alignment
Hi Robert,
The region IDs in 'tfm_ns_region_e' are used for two purposes in TF-M (just as you mention in your mail):
1. For configuring the SAU.
As far as I understood, with the CMSIS-Zone Utility it is possible to generate a 'tz_sau_nvic.c' file, which then can be added to the platform folder of a target in TF-M. The tfm_spm_hal_init_isolation_hw(...) hal function then can call the TZ_Config_SAU(...) function defined in 'tz_sau_nvic.c'. The TZ_Config_SAU(...) uses integer literals to address the different regions of the SAU, but that is OK for this purpose.
2. The tfm_core_memory_permission_check_handler(...) function The idea was that secure services would be able to query whether the caller NS client has access to a certain NS memory region.
Implementing this feature would require TF-M core to know whether a region returned by cmse_check_address_range is a Non-Secure memory or not. With the current output of the CMSIS-Zone Utility I don't see this is possible other than looking into the config of the SAU region and check the content of the RLAR register. (Although this would only reveal whether the region is S/NS, code/data differentiation should be done in a different way) However this feature never got implemented, and this is only supported in Library model. Also after removing isolation level 3 from Library model I think there is no point in keeping this function. So the reference to the SAU regions from this function can be removed.
So summarizing the above, I think there is no reason why CMSIS-Zone Utility could not be used in TF-M, and it seems that it could be integrated fairly easily.
Regards,
Mate

Hi Summer,
Thanks for looking into this.
Requesting a specific SAU region number for a specific memory region is an inconvenience for CMSIS-Zone. It introduces additional complexity for the user who would need to know and configure this and also for the tool to handle.
Normally the user just configures the memory region (address, size, access. security, privilege, ...) and leaves to the tool to assign a region and generate the SAU setup code.
Having the additional constrain (ex: NS_CODE needs to be assigned to RGN=0) is just another obstacle and source of error in user configuration of the memory layout for TF-M.
I would help if TF-M would remove the constrain on specific region number assignments.
Thanks,
Robert

I think the static defined region number would be much for easier for implementation:
First, we need to assign a Region Number together with RBAR and RLAR.
Then, we could use the Region Number to stand for the region that is configured by the RBAR and RLAR.
It is just like an ID for a block of the memory.
Dose it causes some inconvenience for CMSIS-Zone?

Hi all,
Sorry for frequent review requests of merging feature-twincpu back. To avoid making it more annoying, I combine three topics here.
Please check the details below.
1. NS part changes
NSPE mailbox, NS PSA client call interface in multi-core topology, mailbox initialization in NS App main().
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-ns%22+(status:o…
2. Multi-core memory access check
Multi-core specific memory access check since multi-core platform cannot rely on the memory check provided by CMSE.
A dedicated design document is uploaded, which has been reviewed and accepted on feature-twincpu branch
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-mem-check%22+(s…
3. Changes to linker script
Several changes to linker script to enable multi-core build:
Adjust secure data sections layout to save MPU region and memory resource on Armv6-M/Armv7-M
Add a RAM code section to support running code from RAM.
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-link-script%22+…
This should be the last review request/last merge step before pushing specific multi-core platform support, I promise, at least in Sept. 😊
Best regards,
Hu Ziji

Subject: [TF-M] Please review the changes to TF-M core/SPM and mailbox from feature-twincpu branch
Hi all,
Here is the forth step of merging feature-twincpu back to master branch. It includes the changes to TF-M core/SPM and SPE mailbox implementation.
Please help review the patches via https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-core-mailbox%22…
I planned to split those features into multiple topics but failed due to the dependencies between them.
They are the key part of multi-core communication, plus the NS mailbox part. I'd like to introduce the components a little bit below.
1. Common PSA client call handlers
Multi-core topology invokes PSA client call via mailbox, rather than by calling veneers. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2019/ extracts out common PSA client call handlers from existing svcalls. Single-Armv8-M and multi-core topology can implement their own PSA client call functions respectively and invoke the common PSA client call handlers.
2. Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
RPC layer sits between TF-M SPM and underlying SPE mailbox implementation. It decouples the actual mailbox implementations to TF-M SPM and defines several callbacks for underlying mailbox.
3. SPE mailbox
As the name implies, it implements the mailbox functionalities and RPC callbacks in SPE. It also defines mailbox HAL APIs for platforms.
The NSPE part mailbox will be uploaded later.
4. Generic multi-core functionalities
This part adds several TF-M core functions, with multi-core specific implementations, such as tfm_nspm_thread_entry () and tfm_psa_ipc_request_handler().

Hu Ziji

Subject: [TF-M] Please review Armv6-M/Armv7-M support patches
Hi all,
Could you please take a look at the following patch set to add Armv6-M/Armv7-M support?
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22twincpu-merge-arch%22+(status…
That patch set merges Armv6-M/Armv7-M support from feature-twincpu branch back to master branch. It is one step of the progress to merge feature-twincpu branch back to master branch.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Hu Ziji

Hi all,
The ITS design document has been on review for quite a while now, so I plan to merge it this week. If anyone still wants to make any comments, please do so soon here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1604
The ITS implementation is also open for review in this series of patches: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1730
Kind regards,
Jamie

Subject: [TF-M] TF-M Internal Trusted Storage service design proposal
Hi all,
As you may be aware, implementing the PSA Internal Trusted Storage (ITS) APIs is on the TF-M roadmap for this quarter (https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/tf_m/planning/). We plan to implement these APIs with a new TF-M Internal Trusted Storage service.
The design proposal for the new TF-M ITS service is now available for design review here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1604 . The design is currently in "draft" state, which means further refinements are to be expected, and feedback is welcome.
For more information about the PSA ITS APIs themselves, the PSA Storage API document may be downloaded from here: https://pages.arm.com/PSA-APIs
Kind regards,
Jamie
