Hi Tamas, The guidelines look good. I would suggest distinguishing these rules between `original tfm created sources` and `3rd party` sources because tfm is now involving some 3rd party projects and we should keep their original taste as much as we could. /Ken -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Kumar Gala via TF-M Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 11:22 PM To: Kevin Townsend <kevin.townsend(a)linaro.org> Cc: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Coding guideline I’ve been curious if something like https://lgtm.com/ could be used to have checks for code guidelines. - k > On Nov 19, 2019, at 8:22 AM, Kevin Townsend via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: > > Hi Tamas, > > Just to add to the conversation, something that the Zephyr project > added to make enforcing the coding guidelines easier was a config file for uncrustify. > > https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/contribute/index.html#uncrustify > > The Zephyr config file itself can be seen here: > https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/master/.uncrustify.c > fg > > The advantage here is that most text editors can be configured to > automatically apply these rules and avoid common white space or other issues. > > I've generally found this very useful generating PRs and just ensuring > I didn't make any obvious errors when I commit files or changes. > > Best regards, > Kevin > > > On Mon, 18 Nov 2019 at 17:31, Tamas Ban via TF-M > <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I would like to open a conversation about TF-M coding guideline<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/docs/coding_gui…>.

CC312 (crypto HW accelerator) integration on Musca-B1

by Tamas Ban

Hi, Musca-B1 board is the target of PSA Level 2 certification. As part of this process we integrated the CC312 crypto HW accelerator with TF-M. The following major changes was done: * Replacement of mbedTLS library to mbed-crypto in MCUBoot. * Integration of CryptoCell-runtime-library to TF-M build system. * Default behaviour of Musca-B1 is unchanged, it use SW only crypto and relying only on mbed-crypto. HW accelerated crypto can be turned on with CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR=ON * When HW crypto acceleration is enabled then CryptoCell-runtime-library and CC312 HW perform the crypto operations instead of mbed-crypto (mbedTLS). The library provides an mbedTLS compliant API, therefore it requires minimal modification in the code base. * Creating a crypto key provisioning tool to program the TF-M related crypto keys to OTP memory (HUK, ROTPK, attest priv. key). Here we took a sort-cut and currently linked this tool to MCUBoot on demand. CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR_OTP_STATE=PROVISIONING * Porting of platform layer in Musca-B1 folder to rely on CC312 and OTP memory. CMake command line switch: -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR_OTP_STATE=ENABLED * Extends initial attestation API to provide a public API to retrieve the public part of the attestation key. The top of the patch-set: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2539/ We would like to review and merge the changes by 27th of November! Reviewers are welcome! Tamas Ban

Re: [TF-M] Coding guideline

by Kevin Townsend

Hi Tamas, Just to add to the conversation, something that the Zephyr project added to make enforcing the coding guidelines easier was a config file for uncrustify. https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/contribute/index.html#uncrustify The Zephyr config file itself can be seen here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/master/.uncrustify.cfg The advantage here is that most text editors can be configured to automatically apply these rules and avoid common white space or other issues. I've generally found this very useful generating PRs and just ensuring I didn't make any obvious errors when I commit files or changes.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] RE: secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode

by DeMars, Alan

I don't know that the SPE needs to be restored to its IDLE state prior to a thread pre-empting NS interrupt occurring. I just assumed that these 2 rules required it: a. All of the SPE interrupts must have higher priority than NSPE interrupts d. A NSPE interrupt is not allowed to preempt SPE ISR (I assumed that this rule applies to the SP while it is processing the ISR as well). Alan -----Original Message----- From: TF-M [mailto:tf-m-bounces@lists.trustedfirmware.org] On Behalf Of Edison Ai (Arm Technology China) via TF-M Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2019 12:58 AM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd Subject: Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] RE: secure interrupt handlng in IPC mode Hi Alan, I have one question, why the SPE needs restored to its IDLE state prior to a thread pre-empting NS interrupt occurring? About a secure interrupt is configured with a lower priority than pendsv, I do not think it is a good idea. The pendsv is used to trigger the scheduler to switch thread. The normal interrupt process should like this: Interrupt happen -> jump into related ISR -> do necessary process such as mask interrupt status, send even or signal to related SP. -> set pendsv to trigger scheduler -> jump out ISR -> scheduler to decide which thread to run. In these sequences, if there are many interrupts happen at the same time, and high priority interrupt will interrupt low priority interrupt. Each ISR will trigger pendsv. But only one pendsv hander function needs to be processed. If we set the pendsv with high priority. Each interrupt will trigger pendsv and the pendsv handler will be processed every time. It will be more complex and spend more CPU time. Sorry that I do not know what is your detail scenario, and it will be more clear and helpful if you can provide more information.

So in the current design a secure partition might decide to handle a service call signal (if there is any) instead of an IRQ signal, and that would be against our intention.

Commonly accepted default documentation layout

by Minos Galanakis

Hi With our documentation growing, and more people contributing to it, it is quite essential to start a discussion on some basic commonly accepted rules about the format of choice. Restructured text allows you to achieve similar looking results using multiple approaches, but this makes it harder for tools like Sphinx to render properly, since the rendering template can be applied on per project basis, not on a per file basis. I took the liberty of investigating the existing documentation, and mostly looking for top level headers which can be done by using either #################### This is a top-level header #################### # Reference docs: # design_documents/tfm_its_service.rst # design_documents/secure_boot_hw_key_integration.rst # Reference docs: # user_guides/tfm_secure_boot.rst # user_guides/tfm_user_guide.rst or ==================== This is a top level header ==================== # Reference docs: # design_documents/tfm_its_service.rst # design_documents/secure_boot_hw_key_integration.rst Since we are looking for the path of least resistance, I would like to propose that we follow the format the majority of document uses.This is the format used in `user_guides/tfm_user_guide.rst<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/plain/docs/user_guid…>` . When writing a document and coming across a requirement that has not been defined yet, we should be aiming for compliance with official Python guidelines<https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#style-guide> which is the most commonly used notation. The following rules should be considered: 1. H1 document title headers should be expressed by # with over-line (rows on top and bottom) of the text 2. Only ONE H1 header should allowed per document, ideally placed on top of the page. 3. H2 headers should be expressed by * with over-line 4. H2 header's text should be UNIQUE in per document basis 5. H3 headers should be expressed by a row of '=' 6. H4 headers should be expressed by a row of '-' 7. H3 and H4 headers have no limitation about naming. They can have similar names on the same document, if they have different parents. 8. H5 headers should be expressed by a row of '^' 9. H5 headers will be rendered in document body but not in menus on the navigation bar. 10. Do not go deeper than 5 level of heading 11. When writing guide, which are expected to be able to be readable by command line tools, it would be best practice to add long complicated tables, and UML diagrams in the bottom of the page and using internal references(auto-label). See the current version of the `/user_guides/tfm_sw_requirement.rst<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/trusted-firmware-m.git/plain/docs/user_guid…>` and the proposed patch<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2456> Please let me know if you have any questions/objection or proposals or new rules you would like to be considered.

The svcall switch-case vs function table

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi, I am trying to look at into the svcall logics and found if we keep using the switch/case would make it hard to abstract this logic for different configurations. Thinking to move this static defined svc codes into an array-based function table. The pros are, the svc code set for different configurations is configurable, we don't need any #ifdef inside the svc numbers but rely on the configuration provided svc headers, and these headers are used inside configuration logic. And the overall svcall logic does not need to know the exact number definition but just do a f[num].func() call. The cons... I think the only thing is table may be out of date and cause a potential problem? or some function has only <4 parameter but we have to define a f(a0,a1,a2,a3) type function and fill extra parameter as zeros? This won't improve the execution efficiency if the svc numbers are continuous since compiler uses 'TBB' to create a mapping table while processing switch/case, so we can skip this point while talking pros. Welcome to comment or propose patches for this. Thanks. /Ken
