Hello Olivier, What are your thoughts on keeping Cactus alive for verifying FF-A tests on pre-8.4 Tegra platforms? -Varun -----Original Message----- From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Varun Wadekar via TF-A Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 2:27 PM To: Olivier Deprez <Olivier.Deprez(a)arm.com>; Matteo Carlini <Matteo.Carlini(a)arm.com> Cc: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-A] cactus and ivy on Tegra194 External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hi, >> [OD] The scenario we have in TF-A for pre-Armv8.4, is booting OP-TEE as the SPMC (or in other words a colocated SP+SPMC)., but that's a bare SPMD/SPMC boot case without exercising full fledged FF-A (only few direct message exchanges at the moment). [VW] I think it makes sense to keep cactus alive for pre-8.4 in tfa-tests repo. Using cactus would help us verify the initial boot expectations without having to port OP-TEE.

Looks like Ivy is still getting built in the tree and the fixes I have made are for the UART console driver - so can still be pushed upstream. [OD] It is built although it has no usage in any of TF-A CI test AFAIK. It is still using the former SPCI Alpha SPRT which is now deprecated. I should have mentioned earlier - Tegra194 is based off Arm v8.2. So, we cannot run Hafnium on that platform. The intent is to test the SPMD/SPMC and FF-A interface, before Hafnium comes along. So, the question is, can you please post instructions for pre-8.4 platforms? [OD] The scenario we have in TF-A for pre-Armv8.4, is booting OP-TEE as the SPMC (or in other words a colocated SP+SPMC)., but that's a bare SPMD/SPMC boot case without exercising full fledged FF-A (only few direct message exchanges at the moment). There is another OSS team you may interact with for the pre-Armv8.4 + FF-A story. @Matteo may provide pointers? The dual-cactus use case is interesting. Can we try that on pre-8.4 platforms too? [OD] Cactus was re-purposed only for being used as S-EL1 partitions on top of SPMC/Hafnium. So unfortunately no, you cannot immediately re-use this without S-EL2. There is no plan to let Cactus run at secure physical FF-A instance, although maybe that may work with some adaptation. The dual cactus case, is about instantiating two SPs (or VMs...) on top of Hafnium in the secure side. This is eventually the same binary payload run in two different sandboxes (differentiated by their FF-A id), to which direct message request can be emitted from TFTF to the corresponding FF-A id. -Varun -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Deprez <Olivier.Deprez(a)arm.com> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 1:36 AM To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org; Varun Wadekar <vwadekar(a)nvidia.com> Subject: Re: cactus and ivy on Tegra194 External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hi Varun, Please consider Ivy (and Quark) payloads are remnant from older SPCI specs and must be considered deprecated. We did not clean this in deep to remove the related test code but AFAIK it's just not used anywhere in the test suites (although it may still be built). We may have a plan to upgrade this later when working on S-EL0 partitions on top of Hafnium, but that's not an immediate priority. Considering Cactus, that's the bare-metal S-EL1 payload you can use in place of a real TOS on top of Hafnium. The intent is to test FF-A ABIs unitarily at secure virtual FF-A instance. TFTF at EL2 exercises the ABI at non-secure physical FF-A instance to communicate with the secure endpoint. See below the build commands we use for FVP. Hopefully this should help porting to your platform. Notice it needs as well building the SPMC (aka Hafnium in the secure side), which only supports FVP at this moment (and Rpi, qemu...) It's not described here but I can guide you through this as well. I think you can just use a dummy BL32 payload for now, at least to test the build/integration.

Re: [TF-A] Erroneous speculative AT workaround

Hi All As per discussion over mailing list, we implemented workaround for AT speculative behaviour.

Maybe it's worth documenting this somewhere? Hi Will, Good point, this effectively means every EL2 software must implement the fix similar to KVM for this workaround to be effective (or else EL3 should also be audited to not to have any executable AT instruction). This needs to be communicated. Since this is crossing TF-A boundary and need wider communication, I can initiate some internal discussion on how to communicate this properly.

Re: [TF-A] Linker error on integration branch for FVP with ENABLE_PIE

by Lauren Wehrmeister

Hi, I also came across this issue as I'm trying to create test configurations for compiling BL31/TSP/BL2_AT_EL3 as PIEs, the fix suggested by Alexei worked for BL2_AT_EL3, but it did not work for TSP. I am getting the same error message as Raghu: "./build/fvp/debug/bl31/platform_mp_stack.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object". Any suggestions? Thanks, Lauren

Hi Raghu, On the toolchain question you would normally use CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- as recommended here: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/initial-… However this does not seem to be the root cause of the problem you report.

Re: [TF-A] cactus and ivy on Tegra194

by Olivier Deprez

Hi Varun, Please consider Ivy (and Quark) payloads are remnant from older SPCI specs and must be considered deprecated. We did not clean this in deep to remove the related test code but AFAIK it's just not used anywhere in the test suites (although it may still be built). We may have a plan to upgrade this later when working on S-EL0 partitions on top of Hafnium, but that's not an immediate priority. Considering Cactus, that's the bare-metal S-EL1 payload you can use in place of a real TOS on top of Hafnium. The intent is to test FF-A ABIs unitarily at secure virtual FF-A instance. TFTF at EL2 exercises the ABI at non-secure physical FF-A instance to communicate with the secure endpoint. See below the build commands we use for FVP. Hopefully this should help porting to your platform. Notice it needs as well building the SPMC (aka Hafnium in the secure side), which only supports FVP at this moment (and Rpi, qemu...) It's not described here but I can guide you through this as well. I think you can just use a dummy BL32 payload for now, at least to test the build/integration. If TFTF and TF-A reside in the same top level dir: TFTF: this builds TFTF and cactus secure partitions make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=fvp TESTS=spm -j8 TF-A: this uses TFTF, and assembles two cactus secure partitions within the FIP make \ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- \ SPD=spmd \ CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS=1 \ ARM_ARCH_MINOR=4 \ BL33=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/tftf.bin \ BL32=<path-to-secure-hafnium-bin>/hafnium.bin \ SP_LAYOUT_FILE=../tf-a-tests/build/fvp/debug/sp_layout.json \ PLAT=fvp \ all fip The tool last FIP tool entries are the two cactus instances: B4B5671E-4A90-4FE1-B81F-FB13DAE1DACB: offset=0x47DA3, size=0xC168, cmdline="--blob" D1582309-F023-47B9-827C-4464F5578FC8: offset=0x53F0B, size=0xC168, cmdline="--blob" Regards, Olivier. ________________________________________ From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Varun Wadekar via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 27 July 2020 06:46 To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: [TF-A] cactus and ivy on Tegra194 Hello, In order to test the SPM dispatcher from TF-A, we plan to enable ‘cactus’ and ‘ivy’ on Tegra194 platforms.

Can someone please help me with the steps to generate the final FIP package with all the payloads – TF-A, Cactus, Ivy? Thanks.
