Re: [TF-M] Possible race condition in IRQ_TEST_SCENARIO_4?

by Thomas Törnblom

Turns out the issue was with the timer interrupt routine clobbering a register when compiled with no optimization. I have a workaround, but I’m also working with the compiler developers on what the proper behavior is.

Re: [TF-M] Changes to OS wrapper

by Vikas Katariya

Hi all, Thanks for the e-mail. I would like to highlight a few issues with the current API implementation. * It isn't good for OS which relies on manual memory management, the current API doesn't give an opportunity to free any resources which were in use. * The os-wrapper handle must be different from the actual underlying OS handle on a manually-memory-managed system in order to allow the resources to be freed which are not managed by the OS. So a change in the API implementation is required to address the above issues. * Use `os_wrapper_current_thread_suspend()` and `os_wrapper_thread_terminate(handle)` API, ensuring we suspend and terminate safely, enabling it to free allocated resources. * Remove `os_wrapper_get_handle()` to make sure we differentiate between OS wrapper handle and OS handle. The os-wrapper knows more about the resources being managed than the OS itself. It is supposed to return an OS Wrapper handle than OS handle because implementations can't always create an OS-wrapper handle from an OS handle. Comments towards the arguments: * If we go with `os_wrapper_thread_exit()` to exit a child, then OS can allocate that resource to another purpose instantly and if we were to pass that handle to `os_wrapper_thread_delete(handle)`, we still risk corruption. * If we go with `os_wrapper_thread_exit()` suspending the thread Or `os_wrapper_thread_delete(handle)` performing a NOP, it changes the semantics of what API intends to do and is not a natural way of moving forward. Also, it may confuse developers by making exit suspend instead of exit, or delete not delete anything. * If we go with `os_wrapper_thread_exit()` performing a NOP and `os_wrapper_thread_delete(handle)` performing a termination of the thread, there are few things to consider here: * It changes the semantics again for exit, but on some OS if the thread has finished its operations it will either exit or suspend itself as there is nothing to execute further. * If the thread exits then os_wrapper_thread_delete(handle) will result in error. * If we add a wrapper variable that captures info on if the thread has been exited to check deletion is safe or not, there few things to consider here: * Adds an additional maintainability burden. * Tracking if a thread has been exited or not adds a cost in RAM that would not be needed if the API had a good shape. Seeing as we all develop for embedded devices here, we should be very careful with RAM use. * It can't figure out its identification because the OS-wrapper handle is not passed in `os_wrapper_thread_exit()`. Differentiating between the right handle is required to ensure we track the right thread information. Depreciating the old API will ensure the following: * Future applications are portable to any OS that needs manual memory management. * It forces out-of-tree applications using the wrappers to know they need to make a change in order to be portable to operating systems that require manual memory management. * The in-tree applications will be refactored as part of this API change. Further, if there is a matter of handling deprecation of API, then I would like to know how that can be achieved in TF-M?

This gives the most flexibility and makes the API best withstand future challenges. Sometimes this is not possible. An example for this is the TRIM functionality of SSD storage, where the file-system must give extra information to the storage. In this case the extension of the API is driven by the implementation and thus implementation details. This is risky as different implementations may have conflicting needs, and sometimes the API cannot fulfill both. If your case, a possible solution is to implement the os_theread_delete() and an empty function. If that is not possible, then a wrapper can be added where a variable captures info on if the thread has been exited, and thus if deletion is safe or not. If it is, then os_thread_delete() can exit without doing anything. The call sequence of suspend and the delete is specific to the OS you are using or to the way you use it. Do you think does here a strong reason exist to go for an API extension driven by the implementation? I don't have all details, but as far as I understand the specific cases you described I don't see an imminent need for the API change. /George From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m-bounces@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> On Behalf Of Vikas Katariya via TF-M Sent: 06 February 2020 08:47 To: Jamie Fox <Jamie.Fox(a)arm.com<mailto:Jamie.Fox@arm.com>>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com<mailto:nd@arm.com>> Subject: Re: [TF-M] Changes to OS wrapper Hi Jamie, Thanks for getting back.

The wrapper was designed to be implemented on platforms that dynamically allocate memory or objects from a predefined OS memory pool. The current shape of the OS wrapper is not a good fit for work with operating systems that require manual memory management. For example, if the child thread created in ns_test_helpers.c does a simple os_wrapper_thread_exit(), this does not give any opportunity for manually-managed thread resources to be freed; this leads to a memory leak. Therefore os_wrapper_current_thread_suspend() and os_wrapper_thread_delete() are introduced to aid scenarios where manual memory management is required. The removal of os_wrapper_thread_exit() is warranted as it encourages applications to avoid memory leak scenarios by requiring applications to remember to call os_wrapper_thread_terminate(). If we were to keep os_wrapper_thread_exit() around, this would impose undue cognitive overhead on wrapper users by making os_wrapper_thread_exit() do something other than exit the current thread (on platforms requiring manual memory management); an os_wrapper_thread_exit() implementation could not actually exit a thread on a manual memory managed OS, as the thread must remain valid until clean up time, and exiting the thread would invalidate the OS's thread resource. * https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3299 These changes reflect to avoid memory leaks on operating systems that use manually managed dynamic memory allocation but not from static memory/objects pools, allowing them to free after usage. Remove "get_handle" because it's not possible to implement it efficiently on systems that require manual memory management. The os-wrapper handle must be different from the actual underlying OS handle on a manually-memory-managed system in order to allow the resources be freed which are not managed by the OS. For example: struct { os_handle; external_to_os_resource; }; The os-wrapper knows more about the resources being managed than the OS itself. It is supposed to return an OS Wrapper handle than OS handle, because implementations can't always create an os-wrapper handle from an OS handle. In this case the os-wrapper handle could be a pointer to this struct, but could not be just the os_handle directly. Further os_wrapper_current_thread_get_priority() is used to avoid confusion between the top and bottom layer handles, because the older implementation can refer to different object types when operating across multiple layers. * https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3347 - Improves test efficiency.

OS wrapper layers help to create Mutex, Semaphores, and Thread on RTOS. The wrapper is designed to use static allocation of memory/objects from predefined OS memory pool, which is not fully featured enough to allow dynamic memory allocation and freeing them after completion, if an RTOS requires that kind of implementation.

Linking issues with SFN section

by Thomas Törnblom

I would like to discuss the use of the SFN section for the secure image. During my port of tf-m to the IAR toolchain I ran into issues related to the SFN section. There are quite a few functions that are placed in the SFN section, which is then linked into the TFM_UNPRIV_CODE block. I don't know how armclang or gcc handles this, but the IAR compiler may generate .rodata initializers, which does not end up in the SFN section, predominantly the in_vec and out_vec structs with debug builds. I've had to manually add the .rodata sections from these object files (tfm_*_secure_api.o) to the TFM_UNPRIV_CODE in the tfm_common linker script in order to work around MemManage_Handler traps. I would like to suggest that the relevant files are added to the relevant block in the tfm_common.* linker script instead of using the SFN section. That way one can specify that both the .text (ro code) and .rodata (const) goes into the same block. Comments?

Re: [TF-M] PsoC64 build broken

by Christopher Brand

So the patch does the wrong thing anyway - it effectively changes the watermark assertion so that it won't trigger if the TFM_RAM_CODE area goes beyond the end of RAM. That's just broken, because TFM_RAM_CODE is, obviously, supposed to be in RAM. There may well be a problem here, but this is not the correct fix for it.

Re: [TF-M] TF-M NS regression tests - linker issue

by Devaraj Ranganna

Hi Ken, I’d prefer that TF-M keep exporting the pre-compiled archive for regression tests. The rational behind that is less files to be added/maintained by NS RTOS. Considering this, I think quick and easy way to solve this is for NS RTOS to implement ` tfm_log_printf ` using the print method available. This way no changes are needed in TF-M. I thought about platform-specific shim layer, like adding a new print function “ns_log_printf” to the OS wrapper (app/os_wrapper_cmsis_rtos_v2.c) and use that for NS regression tests. I believe it’s not worth the effort and also it will add another layer of indirection. To summarise, we’ll implement `tfm_log_printf ` in Mbed OS which should resolve the linker issue. Thanks, Dev From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Ken Liu via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Reply to: Ken Liu <Ken.Liu(a)arm.com> Date: Wednesday, 5 February 2020 at 04:50 To: "tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org" <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] TF-M NS regression tests - linker issue Hi Devaraj, Thanks for the clarification. Looks like this issue is caused by the way the building system integrates the test package with NS RTOS - if source-level integration is applied then the modification is not a problem and this should be the better way - even if we recover the 'printf' implementation, for those RTOS who has no printf, it would be another issue. I think the possible solutions can be: * If we keep using the pre-compiled archive, then some platform-specific shim layer needs to be available to provide platform-specific functions. * If we changed to source-level integration then things would be easier. * A quick way is as you requested, recover back to 'printf'. For the 3rd point, there are some pre-actions to be done: * Make sure the compiler optimization function is limited for easier the implementation of these stdio functions. There is a leading patch for this: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3217 * Define the HAL functions for output so that the printf implementation is not CMSIS specific. May I ask how you fix this issue? /Ken ________________________________ From: Devaraj Ranganna <Devaraj.Ranganna(a)arm.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 11:16 PM To: Ken Liu <Ken.Liu(a)arm.com>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] TF-M NS regression tests - linker issue Hi Ken, Currently, TF-M build process creates an pre-compiled archive of NS tests and exports it. But the implementation of `tfm_log_printf` is not exported. This causes a linker issue when NS tests archive is linked with NS RTOS, which is the reason why subject of this mail contains `linker issue`. Having said that, exporting `tfm_log_printf` won’t solve the problem because `tfm_log_printf` assumes availability of CMSIS driver framework. Also the latest suggestion on the ticket https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T664 `And I think if you forward the TEST_LOG to your OS printf implementation then everything would be fine?` won’t help because of pre-compiled archive. It looks like only possible solution for NS RTOS is to implement ` tfm_log_printf `. Please do recommend if you have any other ideas.

After replacing printf with tfm_log_printf, the TF-M regression tests are now no longer portable enough to run in an OS environment. Many OSes already have a way to print, usually via a printf function, and the TF-M regression tests probably should use this. It's important that TF-M regression tests remain portable and capable of running in an OS environment so that system integrators can be confident that TF-M is working as intended post-integration. I’ve already created a ticket for this https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T664 Response from Ken in the ticket: Hi Jamie, The background for this changing is, the ARMCLANG printf involves \_\_stdout' into the image and this conflicts with some CMSIS functionalities. (CMSIS team reported that __stdout would affect the mutex init in ARMCLANG). That is the reason why I skipped the default printf. I think for an RTOS, the toolchain provided printf sometimes come with unknown symbols and causes unexpected behaviour, as the discussion in list/channel, most people are trying to avoid toolchain printf and use some lightweight output. And for the test, it should use wrapped TEST_LOG(), instead of calling printf itself, since some RTOS do not provide a std 'printf' function. Is there any discussion thread about this issue?

Re: [TF-M] PSA Test Suite - Attestation test

by Andrej Butok

Hi Tamas > Could you tell what was the values of these compile time switches in your test? For the previous TFM, we have used INCLUDE_TEST_CODE_AND_KEY_ID. For the current TFM it was renamed to INCLUDE_TEST_CODE. Other parameters are new, so I have tried different combinations of these parameters, but the PSA Test-Suite Attestation is still failed. > Further do you implemented the boot data sharing between bootloader and runtime firmware? It's used the TFM template code without change from tfm\platform\ext\common\template > Do you sign SPE and NPSE images together or they are signed separately? We do not use the secondary bootloader so far, so image is not signed. As the Attestation Regression tests are passed. It's good to know what combination of parameters have to be used to generate the same token as it was generated by the older TFM and accepted by the PSA Test Suite (last commit on master branch). Or the PSA Test Suite is obsolete.
