Hi,
Fyi we merged this gn tool prebuilt version update
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22od%252Fgn-update-1901%22+(sta…
Essentially more recent sources were used to build the x86 host version (as the tool hasn't been updated since 2018), and this aligns to the version used on aarch64 host.
'make format' uses gn to format .gn build files, and as a consequence new formatting rules apply with the new tool version.
The side effect is that changes already submitted in the hafnium dashboards would have to be rebased, and run make format again to pass the CI.
Regards,
Olivier.
Hi,
Currently each patch submission automatically starts two jenkins jobs for cloning, building, running tests and static checks.
The longest of the two jobs can run for 30mn - 1h depending on server load.
A 10 patches stack queues as many of such jobs and it can be a long process to get all votes with a significant load applied to the servers.
Along with this the Allow-CI+1 label can be used by maintainers to re-trigger a job either because it failed, or the results/logs were flushed.
Per discussion with various stakeholders we come to a conclusion it would be preferable to only use the Allow-CI label and discard the automatic trigger for each and every patch.
Similarly to TF-A, a change submitted by a developer requires a maintainer to apply the Allow-CI+1 label to build and run tests.
For a large patch stack, the expectation is at least the top patch must pass the CI run before merging, but not necessarily all intermediate patches.
It's the maintainer discretion to apply the label at different places in the patch stack to get intermediate results as required.
I intend to submit a change shortly to adopt this new policy.
Let me know if any concern.
Regards,
Olivier.
Hello, expert
Firstly, thanks for your answer some time ago. That's useful to our project.We combined the Hafnium (run at S-EL2) and the optee (run at S-EL1), then modified the configuration to adapt to our own environment. Now we can start the os normally.
Now we want to optimize a technical point, which is to load and run hafnium over 34G of free address space. This requires hafnium to support 64-bit load-address.
I tried to modify the configuration in BUILD.gn as follows:
origin_address = "0x880000000"
And I encountered the build error:
FAILED: secure_aem_v8a_fvp_clang/hafnium.elf ld.lld -pie --gc-sections --defsym=ORIGIN_ADDRESS=0x880000000 -O2 --icf=all --fatal-warnings --color-diagnostics -T /home/yuye/hafnium/Hafnium/build/image/image.ld -o secure_aem_v8a_fvp_clang/hafnium.elf --start-group @secure_aem_v8a_fvp_clang/hafnium.elf.rsp --end-group ld.lld: error: secure_aem_v8a_fvp_clang/obj/src/arch/aarch64/entry.entry.o:(.init.entry+0xC8): relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 out of range: 36507222016 is not in [-2147483648, 4294967295]; references ORIGIN_ADDRESS >>> defined in -defsym:1 ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

In this case, it seems that the new address causes some relative addressing to reach too far. Is there any solutions or supports for this issue currently in the community?

Mei, Jianqiang.
Hi,
> Currently we bypass smmu and has finished boot process, later we will discuss whether there is a scenario for using smmu in the project.
That's great news!
> Yes, we use it on the server and need to support LPA.
Just as a matter of clarifying, Hafnium treats FEAT_LPA by restricting the physical address space to 48 bits:
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/hafnium.git/tree/src/arch/aarch64/m…
The reason is that with FEAT_LPA, only the 16KB/64KB translation granules are supported, and Hafnium only supports the 4KB translation granule.
It means the normal world shall not attempt providing physical addresses (e.g. in memory sharing operations to the SPMC) where the PA uses an address size greater than 48 bits.
Is this a reasonable assumption when integrating in your system?
Secondly we were reported a slight issue when applying this restriction by Jens @ Linaro.
I appreciate the change below might be submitted shortly for upstream.
https://github.com/jenswi-linaro/hafnium/commit/659c79d5eacf32e8f5fcb1a6403…

Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
Thank you very much for your reply and suggestion.
Currently we bypass smmu and has finished boot process, later we will discuss whether there is a scenario for using smmu in the project.
Other question are you relying on FEAT_LPA/FEAT_LPA2?
---Yes, we use it on the server and need to support LPA.

No, as observed here:
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/hafnium.git/tree/src/arch/aarch64/a…
But this is an interesting input to us, as we've validated the driver with a low STEs count and this only required a linear table.
So this is an improvement we may think about.

Alright.
Before going further, do you confirm you have use cases requiring this SMMU driver/component?
In particular do you have devices upstream to this SMMU generating transactions through a secure stream ID?
e.g. this can be an SPI peripheral only accessible from the secure world?
What I mean here is there is no point in including the driver (and consuming a lot of resources) if there is no use case to fulfill eventually?
If there are, then yes, we can go ahead and find solutions to enable such use cases.
For the sake of experiment, did you attempt increasing the number of heap pages beyond 262144?
I don't have a clear idea of the memory requirements for your platform. In the reference code, the default is 180 heap pages, but I assume this can increase a lot depending on the memory size, secure partitions S2 mappings etc.
Other question are you relying on FEAT_LPA/FEAT_LPA2?

Olivier.

Subject: 回复：run hafnium as spmc at s-el2
Hello，expert
I do intend to use OP-TEE as SEL1 payload / secure partition with hafnium running on SEL2 and run linux in the normal world.
In my environment，when TF-A and Hafnium boot, only a single primary core runs. After the os starts, the secondary core is booted by bl31.
Now, I have some other questions ：
1）When entering hafnium to initialize gic, I get the following error (the first two lines are my debug prints) :
populate_redist_base_addrs:375,typer_reg:844425014019047,current_rdist_frame:2e200000
populate_redist_base_addrs:375,typer_reg:0,current_rdist_frame:2e220000
ERROR: Data abort: pc=0xff20558c, esr=0x96000007, ec=0x25, far=0x2e240008
The gic appears to be missing the corresponding page table configuration.
Hafnium runs on s-el2, and according to the arm specification, it has a set of page tables for itself and only does stage 1 translation.
So how to configure the page table for hafnium to include the address space where the gic resides?
[OD] Are you using the Base FVP platform?
The SPMC run address suggests this might be an Infra/Neoverse platform?
Did you take care of creating a new platform, or update the FVP defaults for the GICD/GICR system addresses?
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/project/reference.git/tree/BUILD.gn…
2）Is smmu necessary for hanfium to run as SPMC, how much running memory does hafnium need？
And how to specify the address space where its running memory resides?
[OD] This depends first if your platform implements an SMMU and it supports secure S2 translation (from >=SMMUv3.2).
Second condition is if you need to protect VMs from a peripheral upstream from this SMMU.
If not, you can omit the SMMU driver by removing the iommu property:
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/project/reference.git/tree/BUILD.gn…
3）When TF-A and Hafnium boot, only a single primary core runs. How to configure the cpu core to boot the hafnium?
[OD] When the platform resets and starts, a single core is up (aka the primary core) and TF-A boots on this core through BL1/BL2/BL31 stages.
From there BL31 launches BL32/Hafnium on the same core.
There is no configurability from a SW perspective. It is up to the platform itself to tie onto which core the system boots.
If running on a model, that *may* be controlled by a model parameter.
In addition, there are multiple cores at runtime. How does hanfium switch cores to switch the corresponding secure partions?
How does core switching relate to vCPU switching？
[OD] Hafnium is controlled by a normal world driver e.g. the linux upstream FF-A driver: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drive… and a TEE driver e.g. OP-TEE driver https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drive…
The primary scheduler is linux' and Hafnium is not performing scheduling decisions.
As an example, a direct request on CPU1 emitted from the normal world through an SMC, is processed by the SPMC and delivered to the SP(OP-TEE) on vCPU1.
Thank you very much～

Hi Mei Jianqiang,

Can you tell a bit more on your setup, if possible, do you intend to use OP-TEE as SEL1 payload / secure partition?
Are you running linux in the normal world?

> What do the two parts of load_address mean respectively? Any details on other configurations in the dts file?
In the TF-A tree plat/arm/board/fvp/fdts/fvp_spmc_optee_sp_manifest.dts is a sample device tree consumed by Hafnium/SPMC to describe the system properties and declare secure partitions.
Please refer to https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/secure-partit…
The load_address field specifies the location at which the SPMC finds a 'partition package'. It consists of a partition's DT blob and a partition image.
https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/secure-partit…
In this sample 0x0 is the high 32b part of the physical address and 0xFF200000 the lower 32 bits.
> 2) If only one core is available during the startup of hafnium, how to configure it?

I don't believe you should do change directly in this file, but rather provide the system topology through the TF-A command line by using FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER/FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT/FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU
The device tree should describe cpus as they exist when the system is booted at run-time.
When TF-A and Hafnium boot, only a single primary core runs anyways so is this really what you intend to do?
Regards,
Olivier.

Subject: run hafnium as spmc at s-el2
Hello expert,
I'm a developer at Alibaba Cloud, and I'm having some problems using hafnium.
In my environment, hafnium is running as spmc in s-el2, and my question is as follows:
1) In the spmc_optee_sp_manifest.dts file, there is an attribute load_address = <0x0 0xFF200000>.
What do the two parts of load_address mean respectively? Any details on other configurations in the dts file?
2) If only one core is available during the startup of hafnium, how to configure it?
In this case, when I set CPUS_PER_CLUSTER 1 in fvp-defs.dtsi file of ATF reference code, the building error is: Duplicate node name /cpus/cpu@20000. Why?
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much~

Hello,
We get the following error in the non-secure terminal in the QEMU, while booting the normal world with hafnium(SPMC) at S-EL2 and SP at S-EL1.
NOTICE: Trapped access to system register write: op0=1, op1=0, crn=7, crm=14, op2=2, rt=11.
NOTICE: Injecting Unknown Reason exception into VM 0x8001.
Above system register found as DC CISW.
It found that this happened with the recent hafnium change "feat(interrupts): preferred managed exit signal"
Thanks.
