Hi list I have a proposal to make it easier to integrate TF-M into other existing projects, e.g. RTOSes such as Zephyr. I'm using Zephyr as an example, but I mean that it should apply to any external project that wants to integrate TF-M. I'm assuming the project wants to use the secure FW as is, so no change is needed there. However, in the NS FW we want to integrate the NS callable (PSA) API into native Zephyr applications, but the NS ("app") part of TF-M has some OS dependencies that interfere with this. My proposal is that the TF-M build system creates OS-independent NS libs that can be linked directly into the native Zephyr app. Ideally, the Zephyr build system should need to only do the following: - Call TF-M build system. - Retrieve S binaries (and optionally mcuboot binary). - Link NS lib(s) into project app. - Add include directories to NS callable API. Additionally, the RTOS will likely need to make an OS wrapper to support the OS functions needed. Please tell me your thoughts. I'm not an expert in Cmake and libs, so please also tell me if the above is infeasible in any way. I think making such integrations as simple as possible will be very beneficial, not just when doing the initial integration, but continuously, since changes in TF-M will eventually require tweaks in the integration. Best regards, Øyvind Rønningstad

Re: [TF-M] Changes to configure FPU at the architectural level in TF-M

by Ken Liu

Hi Robert, Thanks for the comment, just want to double check if the guidelines for vendors who providing platform sources to a secure software covers the recommendations here: https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/tf-m/2020-June/001007.html As far as we can see not all existing platforms set the registers required in the above recommendation (In Jamie's second patch), so we are trying to provide an architecture-abstraction. Meanwhile, we would notify the platform owner checking the platform-specific setting. After all platform vendor confirmed the setting of FPU we can leave this back to platform setting as you suggested - but secure firmware core logic still needs to check if platform set the FPU setting correctly. @Soby @Jamie, please update if I missed something.

Some vendors provide also tools that auto-generate the system file based on user configuration (ex: STM32CubeMX).

Re: [TF-M] CI Checkpatch

by Karl Zhang

Hi Chris, The CI job was trigged from https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/3521, you could find a list of all jobs and status of each job on Gerrit page that triggered by that job, job list example can be found at the end of this email. Another way is from the link you mentioned, that is a pipeline of how CI jobs start from one stage to another stage, if you click on the node of each stage, "Triggered Builds" will list the related job and you can check the details of it. The Open CI for TF-M is under development of Linaro, development plan and status can be found from https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/openci/ , it is not stable at this moment that we are continuously addressing on. There is no latest document for detail introduction of current Open CI yet. Open CI - developer.trustedfirmware.org<https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/openci/> Milestone Deliverables Target Completion Status; M1: Planning, Handover and Deployment SOW and project plan Hand over from OCE to Developer Services developer.trustedfirmware.org For the checkpatch job, it is a part of the static check stage, the error from this stage won't impact the final CI score, we need more investigation before active all static checks. The CI jobs were not able to trigger manually. There is a request to Linaro for the requirement that already working on, hope it can be deployed to the public Open CI soon.

[RFC] The code review guideline

by Ken Liu

Hi, We are creating one document to describe the code review guidelines: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/5372 The goal of this document is to introduce the source management level concepts to be followed while reviewing a code – which try to simplify the contribution (but burdens the reviewers? 😉). Difference to the `coding style`: * It focuses more on the source placement, interface definition and including, etc. As this document is keeping evolving in a period, the plan is we merge a simple version as start and adding more contents by new patches, so please give enough comments if you have, and don’t forget the concept: we want to make things rational and simple. Thanks. /Ken

psa_key_id_t type mismatch --- HardFault

by Alamy Liu

Dear all, While I was working on the PSoC64 platform, I hit the *psa_key_id_t* type mismatch problem. The patch - *98ab441e096f *enables *MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER* Which in terms to use the *psa_key_id_t* *structure* (psa_key_file_id_t) in <mbed-crypto/mbedtls>/include/psa/*crypto_platform.h* Interestingly, psa_key_id_t is also defined in <tf-m>/interface/include/psa/ *crypto_types.h*, as a uint32_t. So, I do the following testing I could compile the master HEAD no problem *66ee5c8861* (HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Tools: update iat-verifier README and samples I assume the psa_key_id_t should be a *structure* (from mbed-crypto/mbedtls), I applied the patch below --- a/interface/include/psa/crypto_types.h +++ b/interface/include/psa/crypto_types.h @@ -211,6 +211,8 @@ typedef uint8_t psa_key_persistence_t; */ typedef uint32_t psa_key_location_t;+#if !defined(MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER)+#error Should not compile this /** Encoding of identifiers of persistent keys. * * - Applications may freely choose key identifiers in the range @@ -222,6 +224,7 @@ typedef uint32_t psa_key_location_t; */ typedef uint32_t psa_key_id_t; #define PSA_KEY_ID_INIT 0+#endif Then, I notice that there are still many files that use *uint32_t* psa_key_id_t in the TF-M source tree. a) It's good (lucky?) that TF-M seems to cut it cleanly so it doesn't run into problems (well, it happens on PSoC64, or I won't notice it). b) It's bad that psa_key_id_t in TF-M has two different types. I'm not going to argue what's correct/wrong. Maybe this kind of coding could be a feature in the future. I just go with it. But I found no information to define the boundary of the two types under the <tf-m>/docs/ directory. I would like to know where the boundary is, in TF-M. In other words, *Which part of the code should use the structure definition from mbedtls/mbed-crypto; which part of the code should use uint32_t ?* In my work, the problem happens when it passes psa_key_id_t as a parameter, the parent & child functions see it differently (HardFault, in my case, memory violation to other parameters). e.g.: func_a.c (structure), func_b.c (uint32_t). func_b.h ---- the type changes when it's included by func_a.c and/or func_b.c Regards, Alamy

Changes to configure FPU at the architectural level in TF-M

by Jamie Fox

Hi all, There is a change open for review that adds configuration of FPU-related registers to the architecture-abstraction layer in TF-M, and removes this same configuration from platform support files.

For Armv8-M, this also includes configuration to ensure that information is not leaked in FPU registers to NSPE when the SPE uses the FPU, and to permit the NSPE to access the FPU.
