Actually the design doc propose to use a distinct security counter from image version (ih_ver in header). But in the most simple case this security counter can be derived from the image version, to have the exact same value (ignoring the build number). The image signature cover these continues blocks in memory: - image header - image - some part of TLV section (currently not covered, but due to multi image support it is planned to introduce a signed TLV section) Because these are contiguous regions in the memory it is not possible to place only the (header + TLV section) to the trusted memory but miss out the image itself (at least I cannot see how to solve) Tamas -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Michel JAOUEN via TF-M Sent: 08 April 2019 16:20 To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] Trusted boot - rollback protection For the platform without hardware for NV counter, but having trusted memory It is mentioned that the support is possible as follow : "an active image and related manifest data is stored in trusted memory then the included security counter cannot be compromised." the impact for this implementation in mcu-boot is limited to : * The test of the version (security counter is ih_ver from mcuboot header) * The placement of active image and related manifest data in a trusted memory.

Re: [TF-M] Platform: Create platform service for pin functions

by Miklos Balint

Michel, I agree there is a need for a more generic design pattern for such platform-specific features. I think that there should be a single entry point for any platform specific service request to the platform/ directory and each platform should/could list the specific features it supports. Then the specific function type would be encoded in an invec to the service request. But I think a more detailed design proposal is needed with enough room for discussion before committing to a new pattern, and I'd prefer to avoid introducing platform dependencies in the services/ folder. That folder should ideally just have an indirection across HAL to a platform-specific service request arbiter. Any opinions or should I produce a more detailed proposal to show what I mean?

Re: [TF-M] psa_invec type mismatch in tfm_psa_call_veneer?

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Both, The intention of doing this is for packing parameters while handling non-secure psa_call(). This function has five parameters, which means the 5th one needs to be put in NS stack. If we extract 5th parameter in veneer function we need to enable non-secure memory accessing for veneer and implement some assembler code there to fetch PSP_NS. To make it simple at first stage we just pack 'psa_invec' and 'psa_outvec' as two inputs of tfm_psa_call_veneer(); that why the two types are invec -- because they really are inputs. This part really causes confuse and need to be discussed if we need to implement more proper way for this.

Re: [TF-M] psa_invec type mismatch in tfm_psa_call_veneer?

by Antonio De Angelis

Hi Alan, I think you're right, the prototypes of these functions should be fixed. Moreover, I think psa_outvec *out_vecs should drop the const qualifier to match psa_call(...) prototypes, as it's an output parameter and needs to be non-const. I have raised https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T313 to keep track of this.

[RFC] Core: Set PendSV priority to lowest

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi, I have created a patch to set PenSV priority as lowest, which makes more sense that other high priority interrupts may preempt scheduling and affect the scheduling result. The issue is created here and you can find gerrit link in comment: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T310 Please publish your comments under this issue if you have. Thanks -Ken

Re: [TF-M] Trusted boot - rollback protection

by Michel JAOUEN

For the platform without hardware for NV counter, but having trusted memory It is mentioned that the support is possible as follow : "an active image and related manifest data is stored in trusted memory then the included security counter cannot be compromised." the impact for this implementation in mcu-boot is limited to : * The test of the version (security counter is ih_ver from mcuboot header) * The placement of active image and related manifest data in a trusted memory. Is my understanding correct ? As the placement of full image in a trusted memory is a constraint. Can we limit the information placed in a trusted memory to : * image header, * TLV sections. This seems sufficient to support anti roll back. Of course additional impact on mcu-boot must be planned but as multi image support is also targeted , the placement of all images in a trusted memory is likely to be unachievable for all configurations.
