RMM Performance Optimization in Multi-NUMA Architecture

by wuweinan＠huawei.com

Hi, In a multi-NUMA architecture, the RMM firmware is loaded to a memory of a numa. When the confidential virtual machine triggers VM_Exit, inst cache miss exists in running of code of the RMM, and an instruction needs to be fetched from the DRAM to the instruction cache. If the vCPU and RMM firmware memory do not belong to the same NUMA node, the instruction fetch delay is longer and the performance is poorer. I would like to ask if there is an optimization plan for this problem?

Tech Forum : Discuss RME GPT block fusing

by Soby Mathew

Hi, We would like to propose the following topic for discussion at the Tech Forum tomorrow. * RME Granule Protection Table (GPT) block fusing The GPT L1 entries needs to be fused to avoid TLB shattering for RME enabled CPUs. We will talk about the different prototype approaches tried in TF-A (EL3 firmware) and issues with each approach. We have a patch in review in which implements the “brute force” fusing algorithm. We explain our reasoning for picking this approach and possible future enhancements which may resolve some of the issues anticipated. Also the fine- grained locking scheme implemented for GPT manipulation will also be discussed. The patch in review is here : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/26674. For design details of the GPT Library, please refer here : https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/granule-prote… .

Realm Initial Measurement calculation

by Peter Sawicki

Hi, I wonder if there is or there is a plan to develop a dedicated tool that allows a realm developer to calculate Realm Initial Measurements (RIMs) for realms(?) As you know, the remote attestation mechanism requires a verifier to be provisioned with reference values. In this case, a realm verifier should have access to the initial reference measurement (RIM) of a realm that is intended to be run on a remote Arm CCA platform. The algorithm that measures the initial state of realms (RIM) is higly sensitive to the content of a realm memory and the order of RMI operations. This means that not only the content of populated realm memory matters but also the implementation of the host components (e.g. kvm, kvmtool/qemu). For example, in the reference implementation of https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/kvmtool-cca, the layout of memory and the content of DTB highly depend on the provided options (DTB is generated in run-time). Unfortunatelly, the content of DTB also depends on the linking order of object files (the order of DTB generation is imposed by __attribute__((constructor)) that is used to register devices). This complicates development of a separate tool for caclulating RIM, as the tool would have to emulate all quirks of the kvmtool. One of the solution of retrieving Realm Initial Measurements seems to be running the whole firmware/software (e.g. kvmtool/Linux host/TF-RMM) stack on the FVP emulator and gathering the RIM directly from the TF-RMM. This would require a realm developer to have access to the whole firmware/software stack and the emulator of the CCA platform. This might not always be an option. The other solution would require the implementation of a dedicated tool. For instance, a sensible approach could be to extend the functionality of kvmtool, which can be run on an ordinary Linux machine. Is Arm going to develop a dedicated tool(-s) for calculating RIMs? What is the recommended way of retrieving/calculating RIMs for realms? Kind regards, Piotr

RMM Coverage report available on GitHub

by Javier Almansa Sobrino

Hello all, We have added a GitHub workflow to RMM which allows the former to build and run the unittests along with their corresponding coverage report and upload such report in .html format to GitHub. The workflow is automatically triggered when new pushes are done to the main branch. In order to access to the coverage report, you can either * click on the green check symbol next to the latest commit, from there to "details" on the "Coverage on unittests for RMM" action on the pop up window and once in the action page, click on "Summary" on the left side menu. The report will appear in the "Artifacts" section as a .zip file with the name "coverage-results" or * On the TF-RMM repo main page, click on "Actions" and then click on the "Coverage on unittests for RMM" action corresponding to the latest commit. You can then access to the report as explained on the previous bullet. Please keep in mind that reports older than 90 days will be automatically deleted.

SME support in RMM

by Arunachalam Ganapathy

Hi All, Please review the patch-set that adds the functionality in RMM to manage Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) context. If the CPU supports SME and if Realm accesses FPU/SVE functionality then NS SME state is saved to allow Realm to use FPU/SVE register state. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22rmm_sme%22+(status:open%20OR%… Brief summary of changes made in different components: RMM: - Introduces SIMD context and exports APIs to the runtime component of RMM to initialize, save, restore, and switch SIMD context. - Adds SME support in RMM to manage NS SME context. Supports SVE+SME config and SME only config. - Handles SVE hint bit passed in RMI SMCs - Handles SME exceptions from Realms https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22rmm_sme%22+(status:open%20OR%… TF-A: - Enables FEAT_SME for RMM - Passes SMCCCv1.3 SVE hint bit in SMC function ID to RMM tf-a-tests: - There are changes in common lib routines for sve, sme so that testcases running in NS-EL2, S-EL1, R-EL1 can use these helper routines. - Adds helper routines to read, write, compare FPU and SVE Z, P, FFR registers - Adds SMCCCv1.3 SVE hint bit support in TFTF framework - Enables SME/SME2 during arch init - Adds SME helper routines and extends SVE lib routines to support streaming SVE mode. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22rmm_sme%22+(status:open%20OR%… Thanks, Arun

Breaking dependency between 'run-coverage' and 'run-unittests' build rules

by Javier Almansa Sobrino

Hello all, We currently have a patch under review [1] which will break the existing dependency between 'run-converage' and 'run-unittests' rules in the RMM build system. This means that once the patch is merged, 'run-coverage' will not build and run RMM unittests. If ran in isolation, it will generate an empty coverage report by default. This allows to get coverage analysis for especific tests rather than for all the unittests, which makes the process of writting unittests for new modules easier as we can have a picture of the current coverage for such modules without being tainted by the rest of the unittests. Please note that in order to run coverage analysis on the whole existing set of unittests (as done previously by 'run-coverage') we need to invoke 'run-unittests' before. The patch, which is currently open for discussion and review, includes instructions on how to run 'run-coverage' to get different types of analysis. Thanks, Javier [1]: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/+/23039 IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Plan for RME support in QEMU

by Jean-Philippe Brucker

Hello, QEMU 8.1 added support for FEAT_RME. It is experimental, enabled with '-cpu max,x-rme=on', and requires fixes that will be available in QEMU 8.2. I'm working on adding support to TF-A and TF-RMM. I just submitted some TF-A patches for review (topic qemu-rme) that enable the feature for the virt platform, and intend to send the necessary changes for TF-RMM within a week or so. Without RMM, the Test Realm Payload is included into the FIP for light testing. After the TF-A and TF-RMM changes, I'd like to add support for the SBSA platform as well, which should be a relatively small change once the common QEMU support is merged. Thanks, Jean --- Building TF-A for QEMU with RME support: make -j CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=qemu DEBUG=1 RMM=path/to/rmm/build/Debug/rmm.img ENABLE_RME=1 BL33=path/to/QEMU_EFI.fd QEMU_USE_GIC_DRIVER=QEMU_GICV3 all fip dd if=tf-a/build/qemu/debug/bl1.bin of=flash.bin bs=4096 conv=notrunc dd if=tf-a//build/qemu/debug/fip.bin of=flash.bin seek=64 bs=4096 conv=notrunc Running QEMU, for example: qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu max,x-rme=on,sme=off -m 3G -smp 8 -M virt,gic-version=3,virtualization=on,secure=on,acpi=off -bios flash.bin -kernel linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image -initrd path/to/initrd -append console=ttyAMA0 -nographic ...

Changes needed on the FVP command line to enable FEAT_LPA2

by Javier Almansa Sobrino

Hi all, We are introducing support for FEAT_LPA2 into TF-RMM (patches are available here<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22lpa2-support%22+(status:open%…>). Once the patches are merged, FEAT_LPA2 will be a mandatory feature for TF-RMM to work. This means that FVP will need to enable this feature when running. To do so, the following changes are needed on the command line: - -C cluster0.PA_SIZE=48 + -C cluster0.PA_SIZE=52 + -C cluster0.has_large_va=2 + -c cluster0.has_52bit_address_with_4k=2 This needs to be applied to all the clusters on the model. In addition to that, "arch_version" on the model needs to be set to "8.7" or higher. The changes can be applied at any point from now as at the moment TF-RMM is able to work with and without FEAT_LPA2. Once the patches are merged, though, TF-RMM will fail during boot if FEAT_LPA2 is not available. Thank you very much.

Hi All, We are pleased to announce the formal release of Trusted Firmware-A version 2.9 bundle of project deliverables. This includes Trusted Firmware-A, Trusted Firmware-A Tests, Hafnium and TF-A OpenCI Scripts/Jobs 2.9 releases involving the tagging of multiple repositories. Aligned but not yet part of the release is Trusted Firmware-A Realm Management Monitor v0.3.0. These went live on 23rd May 2023. I would like to thank all of the contributors for their excellent work and achievements since the last release. Thanks Joanna Notable Features of the Version 2.9 Release are as follows: TF-A/EL3 Root World * New Features: * Support for PSCI OS initiated mode * Architecture feature support for FEAT_TCR2, FEAT_GCS, FEAT_HCX, FEAT_SME2, FEAT_PIE/POR, FEAT_MPAM. * System registers access trap handler * Introduction to dynamic detection of features * Refactoring: * Context management * RAS extension exception handling and crash reporting. * Distinguish between BL2 as TF-A entry point or BL2 running at EL3 exception level. * General Support * CPU Support for Chaberton and Blackhawk for TC2023 * Eighteen (18) Errata Mitigations for Cortex X2/X3/A710/A510/A78/A78C and Neoverse N2/V1 family CPU’S * Errata Management Firmware Interface implementation supported for version 1.0 of the public specification TF-A Boot BL1/BL2 * New Feature/Support * Support for Trusted Boot rooted into RSS RoT on TC2022 platform. * Support for PSA attestation scheme with Measured Boot rooted into RSS on TC2022 platform * Migration to mbedTLS 3.x as the default cryptography library retaining backwards compatibility with mbedTLS 2.x * Improvements and hardening of Arm CCA boot and attestation support. * Hardening efforts in the X.509 certificate parser, including a security fix (TFV-10 CVE-2022-47630) Hafnium/SEL2 SPM * FF-A v1.2 ALP0 Specification Early Adoption Support * Implemented ppartition info get ABI using GP registers. * Group0 secure interrupt handling delegation. * Improved console log ABI. * FF-A v1.1 REL0 Specification Support * Interrupt handling (S-EL0 partition signalling, added action to Other-S-Int, allow a physical interrupt to be routed to a specified PE). * Memory sharing (structures updates supporting FF-A backwards compatibility, share/lend/donate memory to multiple borrowers, normal/secure fragmented memory sharing). * Power management (events relayed to the SPMC and removed limitations). * Indirect messaging (buffer synchronization and ownership transfer rules). * General Support * SPMC manifest to declare non-secure and secure system memory address ranges. * Hardened SP manifest memory regions boot time validation. * CI migration to LLVM/clang 15.0.6 * Removal of non-VHE build and test configurations. * Added EL3 SPMC test configurations using the Hafnium's CI infrastructure. TF-A Tests * New Test Support * Errata Management Firmware Interface testing * FF-A v1.1 feature testing * Realm Management Extension feature testing * New Architecture Specific feature testing related to v8.8 * 1 new platform port (RD-N2-Cfg3) TF-RMM/REL2 * New Feature/Support * Added support to create Realms which can make use of SVE, if present in hardware. * Refactor and improved the Stage 1 translation table library lib/xlat API to better fit RMM usage. * Add PMU support for Realms as described by RMM v1.0 Beta0 specification. * Support getting DRAM info from the Boot manifest dynamically at runtime. * RMM can now support the 2nd DDR bank on FVP * Define a unit test framework using CppUTest for RMM. * Added unit tests for granule, slot-buffer and Stage 1 translation table lib xlat. * Improvements to fake-host and unit tests framework. * Build improvements in RMM Platform Support * 1 new platform added, the Allwinner T507 SoC * 26 platforms updated from 14 providers * 17 different driver updates OpenCI * First release done solely relying on Trustedfirmware.org OpenCI Patch Statistics Across all Repositories * 1403 Patches merged since v2.8 November 2022 release Please refer to the TF-A [1], Hafnium [2] and TF-A Tests [3] changelogs for the complete summary of changes from the previous release.
