I am adding all the 3 projects (TF-M, mbedTLS and Zephyr) to the mail chain because the issues I discuss below are inter-connected and affect all the three projects. From mbedtls 3.5.0 version, the mbedtls project has migrated to auto-generated psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h file. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/psa-driver-exampl… https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/proposed/psa-driv… On TF-M, mbed-crypto, there are 2 patches for the drivers given below which are still hardcoding their changes and not following the above approach. 1. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_TFM_BUILTIN_KEY_LOADER (0001-Add-TF-M-Builtin-Key-Loader-driver-entry-points.patch) 2. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_CC3XX (0005-Hardcode-CC3XX-entry-points.patch) We at NXP, have migrated our psa crypto wrappers to the above approach using auto-generation. We want to maintain same code base for mbedtls for our SDK's, TFM mbed-crypto as well as align mbedTLS fork in Zephyr. We are increasingly finding it difficult to migrate to newer versions of mbedtls because of hardcoding of above drivers. The problem is specially on the Zephyr front, where in the mbedTLS fork in zephyr these patches from tfm are applied by default. I have queries for all the 3 projects listed below : TF-M --> Can you please let us know what are the plans to migrate these 2 drivers in tfm to the auto-generation approach. If these patches can be migrated to make changes in jinja files rather than hardcoding in psa_crypto_driver_wrappers , things would be much easier to integrate. Is somebody already working on it ? Are you open to accept patches for this change ? mbedTLS --> What is the long term strategy from mbedTLS on this auto-generation ? We still have a lot of hard-coding in .jinja file rather than using drivers.json. Would mbedTLS/new PSA crypto repository start accepting patches for psa wrappers from platforms ? Can the patches which TF-M project maintains be merged in the mbedTLS ? Zephyr --> On Zephyr front, what are the plans to align to this auto-generation approach ? Regards, Ruchika

MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE vs MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi All, I apologize for this probably trivial question, but I cannot find out if and why I should use MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE or MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH. Are there any real advantages of move with SCRATCH other than that it requires less flash? - that is, min just one extra sector for all the images vs min one sector per image? Move without scratch seems to provide a better wear balance but still almost all the examples I come across use move with scratch. What am I missing? Kind regards, Tomasz

TF-M Tech forum time update proposal

by Anton Komlev

Hi, Following the forum session today I am sending this separate email asking for your feedback. The recent forums on the East time zone slot are getting quite low attendance, so I am wondering if it still valuable or we want to reschedule it. The potential options I can think of: 1. Keep the current schedule and change nothing. 2. Drop the East time zone slot and leave West time zone slot only for monthly meetings. 3. Reschedule slots for bi-weekly forums on West time zone. 4. Other ideas? Thanks, and please share your opinion in this email thread, Anton

NS Client ID mapping for Hybrid Platform

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi All, As part of the work we are doing for Hybrid Platforms we prepared a patch that makes changes how the Non-Secure Client IDs are handled. When TF-M is run in Hybrid Platform configuration, It has multiple NS agents active the same time. Each of the NS clients (either running in the NSPE the same v8M CPU as SPM, or on the other end of a Mailbox) can have their own way to assign NS Client IDs to clients. To prevent NS clients impersonate other NS clients that are accessing secure services through a different agent, the patch introduces Client ID mapping. For each NS agent partition a range of valid Client IDs is defined in the manifest yaml file. The SPM checks boot time that the ranges don't overlap. The NS agent partitions must make sure that they map incoming client ID's in a way that the output Client ID is always in the range of valid IDs for that NS agent. If an NS agent has multiple mailboxes, it is possible to assign separate ranges for those mailboxes (the range is associated with the Mailbox IRQ in the manifest yaml). Please find the patch here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/26947 Any questions or comments are welcome! Best Regards, Mate

Nordic nRF9160 bootloader gets stuck because of undefined function

by Boeckmann, Lena

Hi folks, I tried running a minimal example on the nRF9160dk. In `boot_hal_bl2.c` the following code is executed: #ifdef FLASH_DEV_NAME result = FLASH_DEV_NAME.Uninitialize(); if (result != ARM_DRIVER_OK) { while(1) {} } #endif /* FLASH_DEV_NAME */ For the Nordic boards `Uninitialize` is not implemented (see `Driver_Flash.c`): ARM_DRIVER_FLASH Driver_FLASH0 = { .GetVersion = NULL, .GetCapabilities = ARM_Flash_GetCapabilities, .Initialize = ARM_Flash_Initialize, .Uninitialize = NULL, .PowerControl = NULL, .ReadData = ARM_Flash_ReadData, .ProgramData = ARM_Flash_ProgramData, .EraseSector = ARM_Flash_EraseSector, .EraseChip = NULL, .GetStatus = NULL, .GetInfo = ARM_Flash_GetInfo }; This leads to a non-zero value being stored in `result` and my program ends up getting stuck in the while loop. Is it possible to fix that? Kind regards, Lena

Re: Scheduling bug

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi Ken, I tested with 2.0.0 release. There are my conclusions. tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code set result (for psa_wait, ...) by using SP stored in sp member of context_ctrl_t structure. It means that before calling tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code TF-M should update SP for thread (partition). thrd_next update result by calling tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code, if query_state_cb (pointing to query_state implemented by backend_ipc.c) returns THRD_STATE_RET_VAL_AVAIL. For all partition except active (interrupted by PendSV) context (values in context_ctrl_t) is correct. But context is invalid for active partition, because it is updated by PendSV after exit from ipc_schedule and thrd_next. As result call for psa_wait would fail if some secure IRQ will update signals_asserted after tfm_spm_partition_psa_wait and before PendSV will call thrd_next. SLIH interrupt can assert such signal (call to backend_assert_signal) in spm_handle_interrupt. I made a simple fix: diff --git a/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c b/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c index 3a968a3..c8b0742 100644 --- a/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c +++ b/secure_fw/spm/core/backend_ipc.c @@ -454,9 +454,14 @@ /* Protect concurrent access to current thread/component and thread status */ CRITICAL_SECTION_ENTER(cs); - pth_next = thrd_next(); p_curr_ctx = (struct context_ctrl_t *)(CURRENT_THREAD->p_context_ctrl); + /* Update SP for current thread, so tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code can use up to date + * value of stack context to return value via R0.*/ + p_curr_ctx->sp = __get_PSP() - sizeof(struct tfm_additional_context_t); + + pth_next = thrd_next(); + AAPCS_DUAL_U32_SET(ctx_ctrls, (uint32_t)p_curr_ctx, (uint32_t)p_curr_ctx); p_part_curr = GET_CURRENT_COMPONENT(); Regards, Roman.

Hi Bohdan, Can you share us the version you are working on? Looks like the patch is based on a previous version of TFM, and this issue is resolved in the latest code base. The reason to do such abstraction is just because of such similar issues - the logic was coupled tightly because of synching the partition status, thread status and context update which caused maintenance confusion and effort. And we refactored this part to decouple the logic: SPM: Add STATUS_NEED_SCHEDULE to manage scheduler (21054) * Gerrit Code Review (trustedfirmware.org)<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/21054> Hope this helps, thanks. /Ken From: Bohdan.Hunko--- via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> Sent: Monday, November 6, 2023 10:01 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] Scheduling bug Hi There seem to be scheduling bug we have found in SPM. This bug is related to handling of interrupts that arrives during SVC call and assert signed for partition. Steps to reproduce: 1. Call psa_wait() from partition (e.g. mailbox partition) 2. During execution of SVC handler generate Interrupt that asserts signal of that partition (e.g. mailbox partition signal ) (adding long delay in SVC handler or adding breakpoint in SVC handler helps to easier reproduce this ) 3. Following sequence happens: * Mailbox IRQ has lower priority than SVC thus SVC is not preempted. * SVC sees that mailbox partition is blocked (as it is waiting for signal and no signals are pending) * SVC triggers pendSV i. Mailbox IRQ and pendSV are both pending * Mailbox IRQ has higher priority than pendSV thus Mailbox IRQ is executed * Mailbox IRQ calls spm_handle_interrupt i. Signal is asserted thus spm_handle_interrupt in thrd_next calls query_state_cb which returns THRD_STATE_RET_VAL_AVAIL and thus tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code is called ii. tfm_arch_set_context_ret_code sets return code using OLD value of partition PSP (as it was never updated, as it is updated in PendSV) * Mailbox IRQ return, pendsv is started and it runs mailbox partition i. Mailbox partition has 0 as signal because return value was written to wrong location is stack Patch I have attached to the mail solves this problem for us BUT it seems more like a workaround than a proper fix( Anyways it would be nice to have this problem review by SPM experts and have proper fix (maybe we have other places with same problem...)

SPM thread and FLIH

by Roman.Mazurak＠infineon.com

Hi all, It seems that on v2.0 there is a problem with FLIH handling during execution of SPM thread. 1. A partition #1 is running with unprivileged attribute (CONTROL.nPRIV = 1). 2. It requests PSA API (for example psa_call). 3. psa_call is serviced via SVC. prepare_to_thread_mode_spm schedules handling of psa_call in SPM thread mode (by prepare_to_thread_mode_spm). 4. prepare_to_thread_mode_spm saves CONTROL to saved_control. Than set CONTROL.nPRIV = 0 (privileged for SPM thread). 5. Exit from SVC starts execution of tfm_spm_client_psa_call in SPM thread (privileged). 6. SPM thread is interrupted by FLIH IRQ. 7. FLIH IRQ handler calls spm_handle_interrupt. 8. spm_handle_interrupt switches boundary to prepare environment for FLIH handler (partition #2) and schedules execution of FLIH handler. 9. FLIH handler is executed. 10. tfm_flih_return_to_isr is called on exit from FLIH handler. It restores boundary of partition #1 and set CONTROL.nPRIV = 1. Than returns to FLIH IRQ handler. 11. FLIH IRQ handler exit to SPM thread that has been interrupted on step #6. 12. SPM thread have no enough permissions, because it's running with CONTROL.nPRIV equal to 1 (unprivileged). So, processing environment is unprivileged and tfm_spm_client_psa_call fails on accessing restricted resource. Does my understanding correct? If yes it means that we should fix exit from FLIH to SPM thread. Regards, Roman.
