About arm_validate_ns_entrypoint in arm_pm.c

by Ming Huang

Hi, arm_validate_ns_entrypoint() in plat/arm/common/arm_pm.c check ARM_NS_DRAM1_BASE and ARM_NS_DRAM2_BASE only, for some platform there are include more than two non-secure dram areas. It will bring dependencies between TF-A and physical memory space which can get from uefi atfer memory initialization, if arm_validate_ns_entrypoint() include the entire physical memory space. In my mind, the kernel should guarantee the validity of entry point. So why this check is need? Thanks, Ming

imx8mm-evk does not boot kernel 5.16 with mainline TF-A

by Fabio Estevam

Hi, I am running U-Boot 2022.01 on imx8mm-evk. If I build the NXP vendor-based TF-A (imx_5.4.47_2.2.0) I am able to boot kernel 5.16 just fine. However, if I use the upstream TF-A (v2.5 or v2.6), the kernel fails to boot most of the attempts. Peng, Jacky, Could you please try booting kernel 5.16 + U-Boot 2022.01 built with TF-A v2.6? What is missing in upstream TF-A to be able to boot kernel 5.16? Thanks, Fabio Estevam

fw update & anti-rollback versioning

by Etienne CARRIERE

Dear all, (and may the new year be happy to you and your beloved) In the course of evaluating the FW update flows for systems with FIP images, we identified the following requirements: Req1: The FIP image, or the components in the FIP, must have a version field. Each version field will be compared against the anti-rollback counter of the platform that the FIP or its component is bound to. Req2: We must be able to increment the FIP version field (though a FIP image FW update) without affecting the anti-rollback counter value. The anti-rollback counter should be incremented only for security updates upon explicit request. Req3: The version field should be present even if the FIP does not contain image certificates. Currently the FIP carries a version field in the different certificates, the anti-rollback counters are updated every time the root certificate value increased. This is not flexible enough and does not allow trial/acceptance of updates. Can we open a discussion on how to enhance the version/anti-rollback counter update in TF-A? Best regards, Etienne Carriere ST Restricted

MISRA C compliance spreadsheet access permission

by Lim, Jit Loon

Hi TF-A committee, We are trying to access to the MISRA C spreadsheet mentioned over here. [cid:image001.jpg@01D806BE.A535F7C0] https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/file/download/lamajxif3w7c4mpjeoo5/PH… However, we are facing issue to open the spreadsheet and we are getting "Invalid Authorization". [cid:image002.jpg@01D806BE.A535F7C0] After we click on the "Continue", the website show Restricted File and we have no access permission. [cid:image003.jpg@01D806BE.A535F7C0] Thus, we would like to get your help to assist us on how to obtain the spreadsheet. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Best Regards JL Lim (Benjamin)

A problem about assert failed in TF-A

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I am running FVP with 2CPUs, Cactus SP (SEL1), Hafnium (SEL2) and KVM VHE. Sometimes I send the "FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ" smc call from KVM (I fill 0x8400006f in x0, then VMID and SP ID in x1, let x2 as 0). It says assert failed, like this: ASSERT: lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context_mgmt.c:651 BACKTRACE: START: assert 0: EL3: 0x4005cac 1: EL3: 0x400323c 2: EL3: 0x400620c 3: EL3: 0x400e180 4: EL3: 0x4005a94 BACKTRACE: END: assert After I check the bl31.dump, I notice that: when services/std_svc/spmd/spmd_main.c sends the FFA call (from NS to S) via "spmd_smc_forward(smc_fid, secure_origin,x1, x2, x3, x4, handle)", it will go to cm_el1_sysregs_context_restore(secure_state_out) and cm_el2_sysregs_context_restore(secure_state_out), then it will assert the cm_get_context(). it gets the NULL context, so assert failed. Before the problem appeared, I have modified many codes on a dirty TF-A v2.4 (commit hash is 0aa70f4c4c023ca58dea2d093d3c08c69b652113), Hafnium and TF-A-TESTS. I also mail with Hafnium MailList, they consider it can be a problem in EL3. Such assert is NOT ALWAYS failed. I mean, maybe when I run FVP and send "smc" now, it is failed. But when I shut down, run FVP, and send the same instruction with the same parameter again, it is OK. I want to know, what is the possible reasons for suddenly losing the secure context. Can you give me some advice on debugging? e.g., where should I check? Need I provide more info? Sincerely, Wang

How to change the address of region "RAM" in BL31?

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I want to add some big data structures in BL31 (e.g., create a large uint32_t array). Also, I reserve a secure memory space (assume it is 0xa000_0000 - 0xb000_0000) by configuring TZASC. Now, the BL31 says build/fvp/debug/bl31/bl31.elf section `.bss' will not fit in region `RAM' aarch64-none-elf-ld: BL31 image has exceeded its limit. aarch64-none-elf-ld: region `RAM' overflowed by 458752 bytes It looks like that the previous RAM cannot hold my big data structures. If I want to add my reserved region into RAM (so I may allocate these data into the reserved region), what should I do? Sincerely, Wang

Re: [TF-A] [TF-M] Tip on cloning TF-M on OS X Monterey

by Gyorgy Szing

Hi, Please allow me to add some more details. Also posting to the TF-A list, as all tf.org repositories are affected. The root cause of this issue is OpenSSH dropping support for SHA-1 RSA signatures with the 8.8 release, and thus any OS (or git client) coming with a recent version is affected. I.e. the newest git for windows is affected too, and so are “top notch” Linux distributions like Arch. For details see the “Potentially-incompatible changes” chapter here: https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html As the above page states “Incompatibility is more likely when connecting to older SSH implementations…”, and thus a server-side update would eliminate the problem. Till that happens the page above list multiple client-side workarounds. (It is possible to amend the ssh config in a way that fixes all repositories.) /George From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Kevin Townsend via TF-M Sent: December 15, 2021 13:06 To: Thomas Törnblom via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] Tip on cloning TF-M on OS X Monterey I recently switched to a new MBP that ships with OS X Monterey, and on both 12.0 and 12.1 (released this week) git clone seems to be broken when you're using HTTP rather than SSH: digital envelope routines:CRYPTO_internal:bad key length In order to clone TF-M, I had to make the following changes. 1. Add these details to $HOME/.ssh/config (microbuilder being my github username, associated with my TF-M account): Host trustedfirmware.org<http://trustedfirmware.org> User microbuilder Hostname review.trustedfirmware.org<http://review.trustedfirmware.org> Port 29418 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa IdentitiesOnly yes 2. Then try to clone with: $ git clone trustedfirmware.org:/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git This fails, however, since it tries to clone tf-m-tests.git, so: 3. Edit lib/ext/tf-m-tests/fetch_repo.cmake, changing: FetchContent_Declare(tfm_test_repo GIT_REPOSITORY trustedfirmware.org:TF-M/tf-m-tests.git # GIT_REPOSITORY https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git GIT_TAG ${TFM_TEST_REPO_VERSION} GIT_PROGRESS TRUE ) This let me at least clone TF-M until the issues with HTTP-based cloning are fixed. Hope this is useful to someone else working on OS X natively. Kevin
