Re: [TF-M] PSA Certification without PS?

by Shebu Varghese Kuriakose

Hi Andrej/Kevin, Pasting the ;Secure Storage' Security Function Requirement below from the PSA Certified Level2 Protection Profile* It doesn’t specifically mention Protected Storage and Internal Trusted Storage Service as a requirement. As long as the Target of Evaluation can prove that the confidentiality and integrity of assets in Secure Storage can be maintained, the requirement can be met. PSA defines Protected Storage (PS)** and Internal Trusted Storage (ITS)**. PS is meant to store larger data sets stored on external flash and ITS for device intimate data stored on chip flash storage. If the device doesn’t have an on chip flash storage, maybe it is still possible to just use PS implementation using external flash to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the secret assets on the platform. @Marcus Streets<mailto:Marcus.Streets@arm.com> – Could you please share your thought on this >>> 5.3 F.SECURE_STORAGE The TOE protects the confidentiality and integrity of assets in a secure storage. The secure storage is bound to the platform. Only the TOE can retrieve and modify assets from this secure storage. This security function mitigates T.STORAGE by preventing direct and unprotected access to assets. >>> Regards, Shebu * https://www.psacertified.org/app/uploads/2019/02/JSADEN002-PSA_Certified_Le… ** https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/pdf/PlatformSecurityArchitecture/Im… -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Andrej Butok via TF-M Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2019 7:50 AM To: Kevin Peng (Arm Technology China) <Kevin.Peng(a)arm.com> Cc: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] PSA Certification without PS?

Re: [TF-M] The svcall switch-case vs function table

by Anton Komlev

Hi Ken, all, Right, let's see the binary size of a prototype. Regarding TBB instruction, It's applied at the stage of binary generation, after source parsing and references resolution so it is irrelevant to the problem of dead references, I have mentioned.

About code size, two points: - We saved code size for switch/case usage: switch(num) {case1:case2:} -> func_tbl[num].func(); - The compiler uses 'TBB' instruction, which is a function table already. So I think it should be okay; we can verify the code size after the prototype is available.

It creates unconditional reference to a function and blocks that function from removal during code size optimization. TF-M is quite sensitive to binary image size and we should be very careful to avoid its increase. This is a general comment on functions table, irrelevant to the patch, where I have no knowledge yet to comment.

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 -- TF-M mailing list TF-M(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/tf-m -- TF-M mailing list TF-M(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/tf-m

Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies?

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi, Build environment provisioning (and dependency management) is a larger topic and sub-modules can only solve a small part of it. There is definitely room for improvement in this area, but as far as I can see sub-modules are a sub optimal answer. Some of the issues which came to my mind: 1. The user experience of sub-modules is sometimes quirky. For example it is a headache if you have to switch between branches where one of the branches does not have a specific sub-module. 2. With sub-modules you can not have complex dependencies. I.e.: when one platform needs a dependency and another not, or you need two version of a dependency, or a different version for two platforms. 3. It is easy to see on what the repo having the sub-module depends, but the other direction is not. It is hard to see what is using a module. 4. The validness of tests are limited if you use source code. Longer term it would be nice to allow using tested binaries of tf-m dependencies and sub-modules can not handle this need. 5. Flexibility. If we use sub-modules, then the version control and the dependency handling "layers" get bounded. For tf-m developers this might not be an issue but for integrators it can be. Can you please explain the problem you see a bit more? Zephyr is using cmake and you could use the External_project or the FetchContent module to get all needed dependencies. Also nothing really stops you to use sub-modules in the Zephyr repo to get tf-m and all it's dependencies. /George -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Kevin Townsend via TF-M Sent: 26 November 2019 19:23 To: Kumar Gala <kumar.gala(a)linaro.org> Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com>; tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies? Hi, I'm reviving an old thread (sorry, probably bad form), but we're running into this issue again now with Zephyr (and probably with FreeRTOS later) where we need to produce a TF-M 'module' got Zephyr that we can include in the zephyr github repo. With the current approach for TF-M, we will have to produce 5 forks of the 5 projects/dependencies, which seems superfluous versus a single 'master' TF-M repo with the four dependencies as sub-modules, and I can't see why technically this would be more of a challenge for end-users (you can even init the submodules at the same time you clone the parent TF-M repo so it's actually LESS work), and means a single repo where all of the dependency versions can change over time in sync with the various releases.

Adding another common layer for all the partners sounds similar to Andrej's proposal. In my very own opinion, currently CMSIS can cover the general arch features. The general multi-core mailbox code is kept in TF-M Core. But I won't be surprised if additional common features should be extracted and kept under platform folder. Apparently, we need more partners/platforms on TF-M to specify the requirements. I'd suggest that we can discuss the additional common part as another topic in a separated email thread.

Perhaps, I would also add another common layer in platform/ext/target to keep platform code that can be reused by other partners in their platforms - for the multicore mailbox code, for example. Thanks, Andrei -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of David Hu (Arm Technology China) via TF-M Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 7:20 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: [TF-M] [RFC] Re-organize the TF-M platform folder structure Hi all, I'd like to propose to adjust the platform folder structure. Would you please check the details below and share your opinions? Any suggestion or feedback will be very helpful. In current platform folder structure, all the targets are listed together at the same level under `target` folder. Platform |-- ext |-- . |-- target_xxx.cmake |-- . |-- target_zzz.cmake |-- target |-- mps2 |-- musca_a |-- . A drawback is that, there are many duplicated files in those targets folders. It may become difficult to maintain the target support when targets, platforms, drivers and features continue growing. - A platform may have a series of variants. If each variant target folder has to contain a copy of platform drivers or library, it is difficult to align and maintain the duplicated drivers. - All targets belonging to the same platform contain the duplicated common operation files or configurations, such as HUK, NV counter and platform configurations. A small change has to be applied to multiple identical files. To solve the duplicated files management issue, I'd propose to insert partner folders under `target` and move the targets under the partner folder. The proposed structure looks like the following: Z` The ideas behind the proposal: - It is more close to the platform support structure in popular RTOSs. It can be more convenient for partners to port platform support to TF-M from existing projects. - Common drivers and operations implementations can be gathered into partner/platform specific folder. Thus each partner/platform folder doesn't have to hold a duplicated copy. - It is easier for partners to fully organize and maintain their platform folders with full permission. More layers can be added under a specific partner folder, such as diverse platforms. - Put the target specific cmake config file back into the target folder. It can make the `platform` folder much more clear.
