Hi Antonio,

 

Thanks for the suggestion – I have tried it and it works for us.

 

I have created a patch for this issue along side with few other IAR related fixes – see https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22iar-compatibility%22

So I got access to a IAR manual and the issue is in fact that with our recent refactoring the IAR FIH_LABEL uses the “::” instead of a single “:” . That will make it a public symbol and will lead to clashes. We are going to discuss internally to double check if that was done intentionally and provide a patch early next week.

 

Thanks,

Antonio

Subject: [TF-M] Re: IAR + FIH issue

So just to clarify, you might need to explicitly make the symbol local, so the macro would have to be modified to have something like:

 

“FIH_LABEL_ …” to “LOCAL FIH_LABEL_ ...\n FIH_LABEL_ ...”

 

Given that the label itself is computed attaching line and cnt, it looks like quite ugly eventually…

 

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi Bohdan,

 

I don’t have access to a IAR compiler, it seems it might require to change this line:

 

https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/refs/heads/main/lib/fih/inc/fih.h#109

 

To prefix “FIH_LABEL …" with "LOCAL FIH_LABEL …"

 

Can you give it a try if possible and let me know?

 

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

 

We have this commit in our tee, but it does not solve the issue I described.

 

FYI – that commit is helpful as it solves other compile issues, but not the one I reported.

Subject: [TF-M] IAR + FIH issue

Hi all,

 

I am trying to build TFM with IAR with TFM_FIH_PROFILE=HIGH and I am facing the issue with the FIH labels.

 

I see following errors:

[ 98%] Linking C executable ../bin/tfm_s.axf

Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1"; in

          "main.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)"

Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_START_46_1"; in

          "main.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)"

Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_35_0"; in

          "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and

          "platform_svc_handler.o(libtfm_spm.a)"

Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_START_35_0"; in

          "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and

          "platform_svc_handler.o(libtfm_spm.a)"

 

I did some investigations and I believe I know the root cause:

            Looks like __COUNTER__ for IAR is unique only for a translation unit (.c file) – thus when 2 files have FIH call in same line with the same number of FIH calls before – it creates a label which overlaps with labels in other file.

 

For example tfm_hal_platform.c in our case has first FIH CALL in line 46 (which creates label FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1) but main.c in our code also has first FIH CALL in line 46 which also results in FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1 label.

 

 

The question is – how can we solve this issue? Any ideas I can try?

Bohdan Hunko
