Backwards compatibility of Protected Storage implementation (TF-M 1.8.1 -> 2.1.1)

by Miika Karanki

Hi, I am working on an update from TF-M 1.8.1 to TF-M 2.1.1 on a board that uses encrypted Protected Storage. The board used is stm32 b_u585i_iot02a, NSPE side using Zephyr OS. I want to support field updates as well for devices already having Protected Storage objects created from NSPE. In my case, Protected Storage is created and used by TF-M 1.8.1, and I want it to remain functional after upgrading to TF-M 2.1.1. PS_CRYPTO_AEAD_ALG is set to (default) PSA_ALG_GCM. I have faced two issues with the uplift: 1. It seems commit ffd13c3 ( https://github.com/TrustedFirmware-M/trusted-firmware-m/commit/ffd13c31d5e6…) has changed the layout how Protected Storage objects are stored into flash. With TF-M 2.1.1 and old PS data, PS init fails (or gets recreated if PS_CREATE_FLASH_LAYOUT, which I don't want since then all the existing objects would get erased). If I revert the commit (and https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… as not to have conflicts), then the PS initialization can pass and objects are decrypted successfully. I have not been able to understand this thoroughly, but at least change in `union ps_crypto_t` struct member order is changing padding (sizeof 48 -> 40), and that in turn seems to shift at least additional data by 8 bytes via `#define PS_NON_AUTH_OBJ_TABLE_SIZE sizeof(union ps_crypto_t)`. Is this compatibility issue "a bug" in 2.1.1 or expected by design? 2. PS objects in 1.8.1 were storing client id to the object table entry to implement access control (?). With 1.8.1, the client id that got stored was -1. With 2.1.1, likely due to the Mailbox NS Agent Design Update ( https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/design_docs/dual-cpu/mailbox_ns…), non-secure requests to get an object seems to pass client ID -0x3c000000 to the Protected Storage implementation. That is, client id -1 seems to be transformed to `client_id_limit`. Due to this, `psa_ps_get_info()` fails to get an object that has been previously made with 1.8.1 FW. I am able to get reading of old stored objects working by changing `client_id_limit` from value -0x3c000000 to -1 which changes to use 1-to-1 mapping when using client_id=-1. But I am unsure if this change causes some unwanted side effects. Is this the correct way to gain backwards compatibility? And if it is, would it make sense to pick https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… into 2.1.x branch and add a configuration flag for the 1-to-1 mapping support without code change for backwards compatibility? Thanks, Miika

tf-m-tests for Floating point unit

by Zhang, Hao

Hi TF-M Maintainers, I am trying to build tf-m regression tests with fpu tests on for an521 and musca_s1 (I manually enable allow fpu tests for musca_s1) from Zephyr's west build. I did that by 1. set(CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_FP ON) in config.cmake 2. set(TEST_NS_FPU ON) in tfm_test_config.cmake But both build fails with ~/zephyr-sdk-0.16.4/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: secure_fw/partitions/partitions/service_5/libtfm_app_rot_partition_fpu_service.a(tfm_fpu_service_test.o): in function `fpu_service_check_fp_register': ~/work/zephyrproject_adi/modules/tee/tf-m/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/test/secure_fw/suites/fpu/service/tfm_fpu_service_test.c:48: undefined reference to `dump_fp_callee' ~/zephyr-sdk-0.16.4/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: ~/work/zephyrproject_adi/modules/tee/tf-m/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/test/secure_fw/suites/fpu/service/tfm_fpu_service_test.c:39: undefined reference to `dump_fp_callee' ~/zephyr-sdk-0.16.4/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: ~/work/zephyrproject_adi/modules/tee/tf-m/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/test/secure_fw/suites/fpu/service/tfm_fpu_service_test.c:42: undefined reference to `populate_callee_fp_regs' ~/zephyr-sdk-0.16.4/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld: secure_fw/partitions/partitions/service_5/libtfm_app_rot_partition_fpu_service.a(tfm_fpu_service_test.o): in function `fpu_service_check_fp_register_after_ns_inturrept': ~/work/zephyrproject_adi/modules/tee/tf-m/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/test/secure_fw/suites/fpu/service/tfm_fpu_service_test.c:92: undefined reference to `fp_func_jump_template'. I modified line 16-19 of https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/tf-m-tests/blob/a1a178d8c1f3c75763511… to below target_sources(tfm_app_rot_partition_fpu_service PRIVATE tfm_fpu_service_test.c ../fpu_tests_common.c ) Then, it starts building successfully. Is there anything particular I am missing. Thank you! My tf-m tests version is 502ea90105ee18f20c78f710e2ba2ded0fc0756e (Merge pull request #11 from tomi-font/update_2.1.1)for https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/tf-m-tests. Best regards, Hao

FPU use with TF-M

by Jain, Saurabh

Hi We’re developing a platform using TF-M and would like to get some clarity on using FPU on Secure and Non-Secure side. The idea is to let NS application decide if it wants to use FPU. Currently, we are enabling CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_FP which means we’re setting CPACR.CP10, CPACR.CP11 and enabling NSACR.CP10, NSACR.CP11. With this configuration: 1. Is it okay if SE perform some FP operation which would set CONTROL.FPCA and return to NSE (CPACR_NS.CP10 and CPACR_NS.CP11 are not set) while CONTROL.FPCA is still set? 2. With the above configuration, if NSE wants to use FPU, it simply needs to enable CPACR_NS.CP10 and CPACR_NS.CP11. Is this correct? 3. If SE doesn’t require FPU, we could simply enable CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_CP10CP11 (CONFIG_TFM_ENABLE_FP is OFF) and NS app would still be able access FPU after enabling CPACR_NS bits? 4. There is a hard requirement for the -mfloat-abi to be consistent for S, NS and all the static libraries used? Thank you in advance! Best Saurabh Jain

TF-M Small Profile with Initial Attestation - Related Query

by Srinivasan, Jayashree

Hello, I have been trying to test the initial attestation feature using the regression build for a platform that we are developing. TF-M small profile has been configured, which enables symmetric key-based attestation. On running the regression tests, the TFM_NS_ATTEST_TEST_2001 testcase fails. On further debugging, I found that the static buffer that mbedtls uses for its allocation is not sufficient ( CRYPTO_ENGINE_BUF_SIZE = 0x400 in small profile). When I increase the buffer size to 0x500, the testcase passes. Therefore, I wanted to know if this change needs to be adopted upstream or if I might be overlooking something on my end. Any leads in this regard would be helpful. Thanks, Jayashree

ARM PPC Driver invocation

by Michael Khoyilar

Hi Team, Thanks for you helps. This this time I want to know how does PPC functions will be called from application to set a possible feature? The question is how PPC functions are exposed to outside world? I know we have a common ARM API in under platform/ext/driver/Driver_PPC.h I am mapping my PPCs to this API, however wondering how they might be called that refer to my specific PPCs ? I am not using the ARM naming for my PPCs drivers, for example not using the name Driver_AHB_PPCEXP0 (using the name Driver_APB_PPCBASE0). Thank you again. Michael

Query on Storing OTP-Provisioned Values in ITS during Service Initialization

by Jain, Saurabh

Hello We have some platform-specific values provisioned in OTP that we need to retrieve and store in ITS (with encryption enabled) during initialization. We could do something similar to template file crypto_nv_seed.c, where the tfm_plat_crypto_provision_entropy_seed function is invoked from tfm_crypto_engine_init within secure_fw/partitions/crypto/crypto_init.c. However, we have a few questions: 1. Adding something similar in tfm_its_init won’t work as psa_its_* would again call into ITS via SPM which could be a problem? Also there is no hook in its_init to add platform specific routines as well? Is this correct? 2. Since crypto_init.c is part of secure_fw/, we’re uncertain about adding new platform-specific routines directly in tfm_crypto_engine_init. If this is not advisable, could you suggest an ideal place for implementing this functionality? 3. Regarding the SFN model, our understanding is that SPM initializes all partitions (and their respective services) before transitioning control to the NS side. Could you confirm if this is correct? We want to make sure that the provisioned values are stored in ITS before receiving request from NS client. Thank you for your guidance! Saurabh
