Hi all,
I'd like to introduce a code size analyse tool to you. The tool is developed to help optimize TF-M code size by gathering the data from map file and output friendly.
These python scripts can
- Get a database to implement data tables from ARMCLANG or GNUARM map file.
- Supply an UI for developers to scan sorted information of sections, libraries, object files, functions and data.
- Help analyse the biggest or smallest targets in certain image. It can also help search functions or data to locate their address and detail information.
- Diff two databases to see the code size increment or decrement between two different build results.
The patch is: [tf-m-tools]<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/tf-m-tools/+/12665>, it also contains the document for users.
Hope this tool can help you measure code size in the daily work. Please let me know if anything can be improved. I'd like to merge this tool this Friday if no critical comment.
Best Regards
Jianliang Shen
Here is what I could find on Zephyr:

Any thoughts from anybody on this topic.

Hi Suresh,
As you noted, the power management topic is not covered by TF-M, leaving it for a platform or project level handling. Would you like to discuss the topic on TF-M Tech Forum and check what community thinks about it?
Best regards,
Anton

Agree.

Unfortunately there is no standardization of power management interface for Cortex-M systems today.
And given that the low power implementation varies between different vendors significantly, trying to define a power control interface is going to be very challenging.
By the way, I noticed you reply to me only. Is that intentional or would you want to have this conversation on the email list?

Joseph

Subject: RE: Power management and TFM
HI Anton and Joseph,
Power management does have an impact on security flows and how it is done. This is a town down architecture/implementation starting with NSPE and down with expected behavior of SPE (secure boot, TFM context management, etc.), cold boot, warm boot, deep-sleep, hibernate and active modes.
On the Cortex-A, there is PSCI framework couple with ACPI. Not sure if there is a standardized framework and application note on how it can be done on Corte-M with or without Secure Enclave model.

Hi Suresh, Anton,
This is an interesting topic :-)
Armv8-M processors has some power management registers that can be restricted to Secure world access only.
System Control Register (SCR)
- Bit 2 SLEEPDEEP - 0 = Normal Sleep, 1 = Deep Sleep (this can also enable WIC feature). Access permission depends on SLEEPDEEPS.
- Bit 3 SLEEPDEEPS - 0 - NS privileged world can r/w to SLEEPDEEP, 1 - SLEEPDEEP is RAZ/WI to NS privileged world
(This is applicable to Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33, Cortex-M35P, Cortex-M55)
Cortex-M55 also has Implementation defined power model control registers (CPDLPSTATE, DPDLPSTATE)
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101273/0101/Cortex-M55-Processor-le…
If TrustZone is used (AIRCR.BFHFNMINS is 0), then these registers are Secure privileged access only.
So definitely Secure firmware should provide some APIs for Non-secure software for changing the power control settings. However, I would expect that power control APIs would likely to be at a higher level which also manage other system level power control functions (which, as Anton said, device specific). In such case having APIs for modifying SLEEPDEEP and power model control registers is not helpful (or might even end up with confusions - e.g. if a SW developer trying to use both low level and high level APIs at the same time).
Given that a Secure firmware can setup SLEEPDEEPS easily if it wants to allow/disallow access to SLEEPDEEP control, having an API for this might be overkill.
Access to Cortex-M55's power model control registers is more tricky. Would an 'optional' reference API for updating power model control registers (CPDLPSTATE, DPDLPSTATE) be considered?

Joseph

Hi Suresh,
The power management is out of scope of TF-M core or any PSA service. Such functionality is HW platform specific and may vary depending on HW or SW adaptation capabilities. If you concern about a specific use case, where TF-M support is expected - let's discuss it here.
Hope that helps,
Anton

Hi,
Wondering if anybody can throw some light on any ongoing efforts on power management on a system with TFM (deep sleep, etc).

Hello TFM owners,
I would like to report an issue for ARMv8-MAIN in TFM.
From GCC9, it may use FPU registers (S16~S31) to backup general purpose registers for better performance.
However, TFM’s library mode is not backup and restore FPU registers (S16~S31) base on EXC_RETURN.FType bit in tfm_core_sfn_request.
(Reference for LR.FType https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100235/0004/the-cortex-m33-processo… )
This may causes FPU registers (S16~S31) to be corrupted in tfm_core_sfn_request, if interrupt happens between two SVC call.
Here is an example to reproduce the issue:
1. Task A uses FPU S16 register to backup GPR R0
2. Task A calls psa_import_key() API
3. After the instruction “SVC %[SVC_REQ]” in tfm_core_sfn_request, the CONTROL.FPCA become “NOT active”
4. Enter FreeRTOS PendSV_Handler and schedule to others task.
* Originally, this should backup S16 due to CONTROL.FPCA is active and EXC_RETURN.FType should be 0.
* But, the EXC_RETURN.FType become 1 due to step3. So the S16 is not backup in stack and changed by others task.
1. Another task uses FPU S16 register (overwrite the value of S16 from Task A)
2. Enter FreeRTOS PendSV_Handler and schedule back to Task A
3. psa_import_key is finished and exit from TFM
4. Task A restore GPR R0 from FPU R16
5. Memory access violation in Task A due to incorrect value of GPR R0.
Stacking FPU s16-s31 in tfm_core_sfn_request can fix this problem. Please check the blue instructions. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank Chris made a couple of changes to move the mailbox mechanism from a kernel-coupled one into a partition-based one, which simplifies the programming model much.
And mailbox-related platforms (musca-b1 secure enclave and corstone 1000) may get affected after merged, please mentioned platform owners take a try on these patches. Another solution is we can merge them and then fix the problems found.
Will wait for one more week for the last patch (Patches no affecting platforms out of PSoC are merged already).
I think checkout this one should bring all related changes into local:
