Subject: Re: [TF-M] irq handling in library mode
Hi Edison,
Thanks for your reply.
In file tfm_secure_irq_handling.rst, we can know every SP have a continuous irq related stack as follows,
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
...
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
And this stack pointer is saved in the field ctx_stack_ptr of structure spm_partition_runtime_data_t for each partition.
If partition A is interrupted for the first time by a lower priority interrupt, as current code shown bellow, the interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t will be pushed at the beginning of the irq stack.
void tfm_spm_partition_push_interrupted_ctx(uint32_t partition_idx)
{
struct spm_partition_runtime_data_t *runtime_data =
&g_spm_partition_db.partitions[partition_idx].runtime_data;
struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t *stack_frame =
(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t *)runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr;
stack_frame->partition_state = runtime_data->partition_state;
}
Now the stack is show as below,
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t (used)
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
...
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
But the stack pointer is not moved upper after pushing interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t, so the ctx_stack_ptr is still point to the beginning of the stack.
At this time,if a higher priority interrupt of partition A is coming, partition A becomes handler partition, so the structure handler_ctx_stack_frame_t should be pushed in
the stack of partition A, as current code shown below,
void tfm_spm_partition_push_handler_ctx(uint32_t partition_idx)
{
struct spm_partition_runtime_data_t *runtime_data =
&g_spm_partition_db.partitions[partition_idx].runtime_data;
struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *stack_frame =
(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *)
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr;
stack_frame->partition_state = runtime_data->partition_state;
stack_frame->caller_partition_idx = runtime_data->caller_partition_idx;
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr +=
sizeof(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t) / sizeof(uint32_t);
}
As it shown above, the content of handler_ctx_stack_frame_t will be overlapped with already pushed content of interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t.
My question is exactly about the above scenario.
If the stack pointer is also moved upper after pushing the interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t, handler_ctx_stack_frame_t will be pushed at different location in the stack as follows,
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t (used)
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t (used)
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
...
|
|
handler_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
|
interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t
|
Please read the file tfm_secure_irq_handling.rst again , and help to check about this question.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your email.
Let me try to answer your question because of the designer of the TF-M interrupt handling is on leave now.
First, you are right about this: “If the interrupted partition is the same as the handler partition, interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t and handler_ctx_stack_frame_t should be pushed at different location.”
Let’s start from an example, there are 3 SPs with different interrupt priority, SP1 < SP2 < SP3. And there is one scenario like this:
SP1 is running, SP2 interrupt SP1. Current, the interrupted partition is SP1, and the handler partition is SP2.
As the below code show in tfm_spm_partition_push_handler_ctx(), the stack pointer will be moved upper as below:
|
SP2 stack pointer -à
|
|
|
|
Caller_partition_indx(handler)
|
|
|
Partition_sate(handler)
|
SP2 starts to run, and it is interrupted by SP3. Current, the interrupted partition is SP2, and the handler partition is SP3.
As the code shown in tfm_spm_partition_push_interrupted_ctx(), it uses the current stack member directly without moving its pointer.
|
SP2 stack pointer -à
|
Partition_state(interrupted)
|
|
|
Caller_partition_indx(handler)
|
|
|
Partition_sate(handler)
|
And after SP2 is interrupted by SP3, its partition status will be changed to “SPM_PARTITION_STATE_SUSPENDED”. So that this partition will not be interrupted by others anymore unless it comes back to running state. Which means it does not need more stack anymore.
We can consider that after one SP is interrupted by others, there is no more stack is needed for it before it comes back to running status.
So I think it should be ok in the current design for the interrupt in the library model.
I am not sure if this can solve your confuse. Please feel free to give feedback. We can discuss more about it.
Thanks,
Edison

Subject: [TF-M] irq handling in library mode
Hi TFM experts,
I have a question about the code logic of irq handling in library mode, code blocks in spm_api_func.c are as follows:
void tfm_spm_partition_push_interrupted_ctx(uint32_t partition_idx)
{
struct spm_partition_runtime_data_t *runtime_data =
&g_spm_partition_db.partitions[partition_idx].runtime_data;
struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t *stack_frame =
(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t *)runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr;
stack_frame->partition_state = runtime_data->partition_state;
}
void tfm_spm_partition_push_handler_ctx(uint32_t partition_idx)
{
struct spm_partition_runtime_data_t *runtime_data =
&g_spm_partition_db.partitions[partition_idx].runtime_data;
struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *stack_frame =
(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *)
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr;
stack_frame->partition_state = runtime_data->partition_state;
stack_frame->caller_partition_idx = runtime_data->caller_partition_idx;
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr +=
sizeof(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t) / sizeof(uint32_t);
}
My question is why there is not the following such code logic at the end of function tfm_spm_partition_push_interrupted_ctx.
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr +=
sizeof(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t ) / sizeof(uint32_t);
If the interrupted partition is the same as the handler partition, interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t and handler_ctx_stack_frame_t should be pushed at different location.
And when pop the stack frame after handling irq, there is the following code logic in tfm_spm_partition_pop_handler_ctx
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr -=
sizeof(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t) / sizeof(uint32_t);
I think the same logic of changing ctx_stack_ptr should be added the begining of the function tfm_spm_partition_pop_interrupted_ctx like the above code logic in tfm_spm_partition_pop_handler_ctx.
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr -=
sizeof(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t ) / sizeof(uint32_t);
Please help to check.

Hi all,
The triggering behavior of the Trusted Firmware-M CI has been adjusted. Tests jobs will no longer trigger automatically. Instead when the patch submitter would like their code to be tested, they will need to assert the newly introduced `Allow-CI` Gerrit voting flag.

Because of New Year holidays, the next forum is planned on Jan 9, 2020.

To continuing our open discussion, started a week ago let me propose the 2nd session and create this mail thread to discuss related topics.
1. The time slot.
Looking on participants' distribution [Asia:6, Europe:20, US East:1, US Cent:1, US West:4, Total:32] I see the majority is in Europe. The Asian region could be more presented giving a more comfortable time. Having this in mind, I would propose to have the 2nd session on Dec 19 at 7:00 UTC time. This compromise gives US West coast a chance to join at 23:00 (Dec 18!). Here is the summary:

Please share your thoughts and alternatives. The related question: shall we fix the time or rotating?

void tfm_spm_partition_push_handler_ctx(uint32_t partition_idx)
{
struct spm_partition_runtime_data_t *runtime_data =
&g_spm_partition_db.partitions[partition_idx].runtime_data;
struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *stack_frame =
(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t *)
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr;
stack_frame->partition_state = runtime_data->partition_state;
stack_frame->caller_partition_idx = runtime_data->caller_partition_idx;
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr +=
sizeof(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t) / sizeof(uint32_t);
}
My question is why there is not the following such code logic at the end of function tfm_spm_partition_push_interrupted_ctx.
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr +=
sizeof(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t ) / sizeof(uint32_t);
If the interrupted partition is the same as the handler partition, interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t and handler_ctx_stack_frame_t should be pushed at different location.
And when pop the stack frame after handling irq, there is the following code logic in tfm_spm_partition_pop_handler_ctx
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr -=
sizeof(struct handler_ctx_stack_frame_t) / sizeof(uint32_t);
I think the same logic of changing ctx_stack_ptr should be added the begining of the function tfm_spm_partition_pop_interrupted_ctx like the above code logic in tfm_spm_partition_pop_handler_ctx.
runtime_data->ctx_stack_ptr -=
sizeof(struct interrupted_ctx_stack_frame_t ) / sizeof(uint32_t);
Please help to check.
Thanks,

Ken, thanks for the reply.
My take on that is that instead of adding overhead to ISR, ISR should be executed fast.
For ISRs we should publish clear guidelines that explain potential side effects of ISR execution.
These guidelines should advocate that ISR is kept short, and workload is off-loaded to thread execution.
How this is exactly done in secure side needs to be defined, as the RTOS (on non-secure side) might inconsistent and not be available.
What would be really good is to have typical ISR routines that execute in secure side. This would better allow us to judge what is really needed. I believe most of them are small anyway.
