Python script to generate tf-m dependencies in JSON format

by Devaraj Ranganna

Hi, Currently tf-m dependencies are only listed in documentation file (docs/user_guides/tfm_build_instruction.rst) and there is no option to programmatically retrieve it. In order to integrate tf-m into non-secure side RTOSes, it is very essential to be able build tf-m automatically without manual intervention (may be as part of CI). The tf-m CI build system uses fixed values for dependencies and it is the responsibility of developers who update the dependencies to update the documentation and the CI build system. If non-secure side RTOSes use fix values for tf-m dependencies then either build or regression tests may fail when tf-m updates dependencies. In order avoid this issue, I’m proposing the following * Use a reStructuredText grid table to define dependencies * Python script to produce a json file in the root directory when invoked as standalone script or to return a json string when imported into another python script I’ve created a patch set (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2333) with above changes. I’d appreciate your inputs/feedback on this proposal. This will also ensure that dependencies are captured in one place (docs/user_guides/tfm_build_instruction.rst). Additionally, have another python script as “post-checkout” git hook which can parse dependencies in JSON format and clone them automatically when tf-m repository is cloned or when switching from master to feature branch and vice versa.

Re: [TF-M] New tool requirement in TF-M

Hi Kumar, there are some internal discussions on how "build system provisioning" and dependency handling can be enhanced.

New tool requirement in TF-M

by David Vincze

Hi All, We will merge this patch (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2147/) to TF-M during the day. It adds the cbor 1.0.0 Python package to the list of tools that are required to build TF-M. Once it is merged, this package has to be installed in the build environment, otherwise the builds will fail. The cbor package can be installed with the following command: pip3 install --user cbor (or manually after downloading the package from here: https://pypi.org/project/cbor/). Regards, David Vincze

Modifying the bootloader - runtime sw interface

by David Vincze

Hi all, I have 3 patches on review (/2149<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2149/>, /2148<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2148/>, /2147<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/#/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2147/>) that will change the interface between MCUBoot and the runtime SW. Currently the bootloader passes the measured boot status data to the attestation service through a shared memory area as individual claims (in TLV format). With these changes the boot status data will be encoded to CBOR format at build time and will be added to the image manifest during the image signing process. The bootloader will share this data the same way as before (as a new type of TLV), however the attestation service will have to handle this data differently as it's already CBOR encoded. This can cause the attestation tests to fail if an older MCUBoot image has been used with a newer build of the secure image or vice versa. To address this issuse / provide backward compatibility the new 'ATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE' variable will be introduced in the build system (in one of the above patches) to be able to get back the old behavior. For this the 'ATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE' variable has to be set to "INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS" in the CMake configuration step: "cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DPROJ_CONFIG=../configs/ConfigRegression.cmake -DTARGET_PLATFORM=AN521 -DCOMPILER=GNUARM -DATTEST_BOOT_INTERFACE=INDIVIDUAL_CLAIMS ../" The old behavior will be retained for a while, however we have an intention to remove it entirely from the code in the future. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'd also welcome any feedback on the reviews. Best regards, David Vincze

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Re: augmenting the SVC_Handler_IPC() to support custom services

by Miklos Balint

Hi Alan, Thanks for the suggestion and the clarifications provided to Ken. During the course of the mail thread, you raised a design principle issue as well as implementation details, and I'll try to address the design principle question later as that is an important topic, but first allow me to touch on one implementation detail for this specific feature: While convenient in GCC, weak symbols are not defined by the C99 standard and their use and syntax is therefore compiler-specific, which is not good from a portability point of view and may cause difficulties with different toolchains. In my opinion a preprocessor-based solution e.g. in the switch-case of the generic SVC handler would be more portable. Could you check the feasibility of that approach? The default expansion could be empty for platforms that do not implement platform-specific SVC handlers, and an arbitrary list of additional case statements for SVC numbers implemented by the platform code for your platform.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Re: augmenting the SVC_Handler_IPC() to support custom services

by DeMars, Alan

I think I’ve already provided the changes I propose. The ‘default’ case will be for the SVC handler to invoke the provided weak defined function as shown. If a non-weak version of the function exists during the link process, the non-weak implementation will be invoked instead. My intent is to provide a proprietary non-weak implementation of “custom_ipc_svc_handlers()”.

Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Re: augmenting the SVC_Handler_IPC() to support custom services

Ken, If I understand the proposal, I’m afraid the latency and overhead associated with every peripheral register access (read or write) would be completely unacceptable for our requirements.
