[PATCH v2] Documentation: Extend the real-time hardware bits with some firmware bits

by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

I have been reviewing how OP‑TEE is implemented and how secure‑world invocations behave. The goal was to determine whether an OP‑TEE call can delay the Linux side and introduce latency depending on the time spent in the secure world. Similar latency effects are already known for EFI runtime services, but this was not documented. To mitigate the impact, EFI runtime invocations can be restricted to specific CPUs so that real‑time workloads on other CPUs remain unaffected. This mechanism, however, is only described in the commit that introduced it. This change adds a firmware section that documents these behaviours explicitly. It highlights cases where firmware can delay the kernel, information that may be unfamiliar to some users and surprising-or concerning-to others.

Added a link to the TF-A/OP-TEE documentation. The main difference is that in contrast to my initial belief, OP-TEE can disable normal-world's interrupts and it is not guaranteed that normal world can always preempt the secure world.

Instead of accessing an RTC chip through an I2C host +controller, the kernel may query the firmware for the current time, and the +firmware then accesses the RTC behind the scenes. + +Firmware can also intercept kernel execution by providing services that +temporarily take control of the system. One example is memory scrubbing, where +the firmware periodically pauses the kernel, reads back portions of system +memory, and then returns control. During this time, the kernel is effectively +interrupted. +In contrast, some systems provide hardware-based memory scrubbing, which +operates independently of firmware or software. See +Documentation/edac/scrub.rst for details. + +If the kernel is intercepted for longer periods then these periods can be made +visible with the hardware latency detector. See +Documentation/trace/hwlat_detector.rst. + +The kernel can also be intercepted in response to specific events, such as +overheating. In this case, the firmware may throttle the CPU or shut it down +immediately to prevent hardware damage. + +Unless the firmware is well documented, it should be thoroughly tested to +uncover any unexpected behaviour. + +EFI +~~~~ + +EFI provides runtime services that act as a communication interface between the +firmware and the operating system. One such service is reading and writing EFI +variables, which are used, for example, to determine the boot source. + +Invoking a runtime service may require the architecture to disable kernel +preemption or interrupts during the call. This means the duration of a service +invocation directly affects the system’s observable latency. There is also +nothing that prevents a service call from disabling interrupts internally while +it runs. + +For these reasons, EFI runtime services are disabled by default on a PREEMPT_RT +kernel. They can still be enabled at boot time or via a Kconfig option if +required. +The native EFI runtime service implementation (where both the EFI service and +the kernel are either 32-bit or 64-bit executables) uses a wrapper mechanism +that invokes the service through a dedicated workqueue. This workqueue is named +efi_runtime, and it can be restricted to a housekeeping CPU using the +``/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/efi_runtime/cpumask`` sysfs file. Assigning it +to a housekeeping CPU ensures that potentially long service invocations do not +impact the real-time workload which is restricted to other CPUs. + +It must also be verified that the runtime services behave as expected. Some +implementations on the x86 architecture pause all other CPUs while one CPU +performs the service call. In such cases, the interruption affects all CPUs, +and restricting the workqueue to a single CPU provides no benefit. + +OP-TEE (ARM) +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Execution flows from the normal world (Linux) into the secure world (OP-TEE) +through the secure monitor at EL3. The transition is initiated by the `smc` +(Secure Monitor Call) opcode or the `hvc` (Hypervisor Call) opcode together +with a function identifier. The calling convention defines two types of calls: +**yielding calls** and **fast calls**: + +- A **yielding call** unmasks interrupts before handling the requested service, + allowing normal world interrupts to occur. +- A **fast call** handles the requested service atomically, without allowing + interrupts from either the normal world or the secure world. + +In addition, the secure world (EL3 and OP-TEE) can receive interrupts routed to +the secure world. While a secure world interrupt is being serviced, +normal world interrupts are masked and cannot preempt the operation. + +The transition from normal world to secure monitor to OP-TEE and back introduces +additional latency due to world switching and context save/restore. This +overhead is typically a few microseconds and usually remains within the noise +floor. + +It is worth noting that the normal world cannot mask secure interrupts, while +the secure world can mask normal-world interrupts during execution. How OP-TEE +affects real-time workloads depends on whether secure interrupts are enabled +and which OP-TEE services are invoked. + +A practical concern is any fast call that runs longer than expected, for +example a function that occasionally performs a long-running cryptographic +computation. Another example that may block in an unexpected way are OP-TEE +drivers that issue RPC requests. An OP-TEE service in the secure world (RPMB +for instance) may need to issue a request back to the normal world (the Linux +driver) in order to complete the operation. While Linux remains preemptible, +the thread that issued the request stays blocked until the RPC completes and +the secure function call returns. + +The TF-A project provides documentation on interrupt management: +https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/design/interrupt-framework-design.html#interrupt-management-framework + +The OP-TEE project provides documentation on how interrupts are handled: +https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/core.html#interrupt-handling -- 2.53.0

ufs: rpmb: make RPMB usable with OP-TEE key derivation

by Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz

This series makes UFS RPMB work out of the box with an OP-TEE that implements the standard eMMC RPMB key-derivation flow, without requiring any fundamental changes on the OP-TEE side. RPMB provides an authenticated, replay-protected storage area whose security relies on a secret authentication key. In our setup that key is never exposed to the kernel: OP-TEE derives it in the secure world from its hardware-unique key and a device identifier (dev_id) that the RPMB core hands down. OP-TEE's implementation targets eMMC, where dev_id is the 16-byte eMMC CID, and both the fixed length and the raw-CID layout are baked into its key derivation. Two things stand in the way of reusing that same, unmodified OP-TEE flow for UFS RPMB: 1. On a cold boot the very first frame sent to the RPMB well-known LU comes back with a power-on UNIT ATTENTION (ASC 0x29), which the SCSI core reports rather than retries. RPMB has no earlier guaranteed access that could clear the condition first, so RPMB fails on every power cycle. Patch 1 asks the SCSI core to retry the power-on UNIT ATTENTION on the RPMB WLUN. 2. The UFS RPMB id is "<device_id>-R<region>", which is variable length and longer than 16 bytes. Passing it verbatim would tie the derived key to a length OP-TEE does not expect and diverge from the fixed eMMC CID ABI. Patch 2 hashes it into a fixed 16-byte dev_id with blake2s, keeping the key stable and unique per region while matching the eMMC CID layout OP-TEE relies on. The hash algorithm and input string are thus part of the key-derivation ABI and must stay stable. With both patches, UFS RPMB is functional from the first access after a cold boot and derives keys through the existing eMMC-style OP-TEE flow, (requires minimal OP-TEE changes).

[PATCH 0/6] Add TEE based client driver for UEFI Secure Application

by Harshal Dev

On Qualcomm SoC based platforms, UEFI stores EFI variables within the Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) which is only accessible by the Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment (QTEE). For Qualcomm platforms without emulated RPMB support, specifically platforms where RPMB is not located within SPI-NOR storage and instead located on UFS/EMMC storage, non-volatile EFI variables can only be set via a callback request from the UEFI Secure Application to the RPMB service running in user-space (within the QTEE supplicant [1]). Unlike the QCOM-TEE driver, the QSEECOM driver (used by the current QSEECOM based uefisecapp) does not support callback requests. And on certain Qualcomm platforms such as the RB3Gen2, attempts to access the QSEECOM interface fail due to lack of support within Qualcomm TEE. On these platforms, a TEE based uefisecapp client driver is required to: 1. Access cached & volatile EFI variables stored in uefisecapp's memory. 2. Ensure persistence of non-volatile EFI variables via writes through the RPMB service hosted in the QTEE supplicant. This series introduces such a uefisecapp TEE client driver for the aforementioned Qualcomm platforms which installs efi-var operations _if_ the QCOMTEE driver registers support for an object-IPC based uefisecapp service on the TEE bus during its probe. Only new QTEE firmware versions available at [2] provide this support. Thus, QCOMTEE now maintains a static list of always-available object-IPC based secure services exposed by QTEE. These services are implemented either within the QTEE kernel or within a pre-loaded Trusted Application (TA) usually loaded by the bootloader. The uefisecapp TA is an example of a preloaded TA loaded by UEFI. A static list is required since QTEE does not yet expose any way to dynamically query and enumerate the services exposed by it. To facilitate object-IPC interactions from the kernel-space, this series also introduces a tee_client_object_invoke_func() to allow invocation of TEE objects similar to the existing tee_client_invoke_func() API exported by the TEE subsystem which allows invocation of TEE functions. Some suporting changes are also introduced to track and handle operations for TEE contexts opened from the kernel-space in the back-end QCOM-TEE driver along with associated changes in user-space libqcomtee via Pull Request [3]. Finally and as previously mentioned, access to the object-IPC based uefisecapp service is restricted on older QTEE firmware versions. A new QTEE firmware release must be picked up from QArtifactory [2] for all upstream supported Qualcomm SoCs to enable access to uefisecapp service via the TEE client driver. This patch series has been validated on Kodiak RB3Gen2 platform with UFS storage by attempting to read/write EFI variables via the efivar tool [4] after mounting the efivarfs filesystem. See [5] for an example. Merge Strategy: This patch series could either be taken from the OP-TEE tree or the QCOM soc tree. I would prefer it to be picked by the OP-TEE tree since all except the uefisecapp TEE client driver patch in this series make changes relevant to the TEE subsystem. It would be great if the QCOM soc tree maintainers can Ack the uefisecapp driver patch.
