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 ...

Questions about memory encryption in FVP & TF-A

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I find that the latest Arm A-profile manual (DDI0487_J_a) mention several registers/instructions related to memory encryption (e.g., MECID-related registers). So can I ask two questions about it? 1. Is the FVP (I use the Base RevC AEM) support Memory Encryption Context (MEC) and Memory Protection Engine (MPE)? They are critical to memory encryption. If no, do we have some solutions to simulate them and verify memory encryption? 2. Does current TF-A support managing MPE, or other hardware related to memory encryption? Besides that, one problem for curiosity (only related to FVP). 3. I find some PCI-E device can use hardware encryption (example, NVIDIA H100 GPU). Can we attach this device to FVP's PCI-E port? Assume it has already connected to my Host PC via PCI-E. Sincerely, WANG Chenxu

New TrustedFirmware Discord Server

by Don Harbin

Hi All, Note you may have received another instance of this note but when I attempted to send to all TF ML's simultaneously it seemed to fail, so sending to each one at a time. Sorry about that. :/ We've created a Discord Server for real time chats/sharing. This solution comes at no cost to the project, is set up with channels for each project, includes a #general channel, and supports direct 1-1 chats between members, all with the goal of improving collaboration between trustedfirmware.org developers. We encourage all to join! :) Instructions for joining can be found on the TF.org FAQ page <https://www.trustedfirmware.org/faq/>. See you all there and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Don Harbin TrustedFirmware Community Manager don.harbin(a)linaro.org

MISRA-C violation for unused functions in Trusted Firmware-A(TFA) code

by nithing1999＠gmail.com

It is observed that several unused functions are present in Trusted Firmware-A code, is it possible to mask those unused functions or leave them as it is to fix MISRA-C Violations? If these functions are not appearing in symbol table, then no need to take actions on violations reported in these functions? Please suggest.
