trustedfirmware git and gerrit slowness

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, You must have noticed slowness or breakages with review.trustedfirmware.org or git.trustedfirmware.org during the week. There are high and lows of network bandwidth usage affecting server availability. The issue is being investigated but not yet 100% root caused. Apologies for the frustration and inconvenience that this is causing. Rest assured the team is on board to resolve this unfortunate situation. Regards, Olivier.

Upcoming merge notification for RMM EL0 app support

by Soby Mathew

Hi Everyone As discussed in TF-A Tech Forum in January, RMM is introducing EL0 app support which is deprivileging parts of RMM to run at EL0. This is done mainly for security but it also enables other capabilities as discussed in the presentation : https://github.com/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/wiki/TFA-Tech-Forum-Presentations The patch stack can be accessed here : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/+/36886/1 . This is complex functionality touching many parts of RMM. The merge is likely to affect outstanding patches as they would have merge conflict on rebase. We have identified further enhancements and hardening which can be done to improve the security and performance of the EL0 app framework . These will be taken up after the merge. We are hoping to merge this patch stack early next week so that any issues identified can be fixed up prior to TF-A v2.13 release planned for next month. The design document is still undergoing review and will be progressed after the merge of functionality. Best Regards Soby Mathew

Firmware-A v2.12 release follow up - shrinkwrap

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, As a follow up to the Firmware-A v2.12 release [1], we are pleased to share the shrinkwrap tool [2] configurations have been updated to consume latest firmware/upstream ingredients using following tags: TF-A: v2.12.0 TF-a-tests: v2.12.0 Hafnium: v2.12.0 TF-RMM: tf-rmm-v0.6.0 CCA EDK2: 3223_arm_cca_rmm_v1.0_rel0_v3 linux: cca-full/v5+v7 kvmtool: cca/v3 An additional merge request is in queue for kvm-unit-tests update to cca/rmm-v1.0-rel0 tag. Shrinkwrap is a convenient tool for building a fully integrated Arm CCA SW stack running on the Base AEM FVP platform. In particular this is the tool of choice for RMM development to reproduce a 3 or 4 worlds RME based environment. Regards, Olivier.

Addition of mbedTLS as a submodule dependency to TF-A-Tests

by Soby Mathew

Hi Everyone, In order to facilitate development for Device Assignment tests for RME-DA, we have added MbedTLS repo as a submodule dependency to tf-a-tests. The merge commit can be found here : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/tf-a-tests/+/3e72cd… The patch is done in such a way that existing build of TF-A-Tests or Test run is not affected due to the additional dependency. Only tests which depend on MbedTLS will be affected in that they will either be skipped or fail at runtime due to the missing dependency. Also, the change allows to use the config `MBEDTLS_DIR` to point to a MbedTLS directory outside the tf-a-tests source tree. This aligns with the TF-A mechanism for MbedTLS dependancy in case the submodule mechanism is not preferred. We expect existing CI and testing infrastructure to be unaffected by this change. Please let us know if you have any comments. Best Regards Soby Mathew

Submodule update during build phase of the project

by Soby Mathew

Hi Everyone We are planning to change how TF-RMM clones and updates the submodule dependencies. The usual practice is to specify the `recursive` option to git clone of the project. This works well when the submodules themselves do not have dependencies. For some dependent repositories like libspdm, there are further dependencies like openssl, cmocka which are not used in the RMM context. Hence specifying the specifying the `recursive` option is not the ideal solution especially when RMM is deployed in Continuous integration solutions. The above issue was worked around in RMM by fetching libspdm within the build context but this was also not ideal as it kept the libspdm outside the git submodules framework and the git fetch was done every time the project was rebuilt. To solve this, we are proposing to move the management of the submodules into the build system and away from the user. Specifically, during configuration phase of the project, cmake will issue `git submodule update --init --depth 1`. This means that the user will not be responsible for syncing the submodules anymore and the build system will take of this. This also ties in with the patching method of the build system as a particular SHA can be ensured before the patch is applied. The patch can be found here : https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/+/33512 Any rebase of the project which updates the submodules will now be transparently applied without the user having to update the submodules manually. We think that we will have more dependent submodules for TF-RMM in the future and it is better to script this within the build system. This change should not break any of the existing CI systems as it is backward compatible, but it may become a little inefficient if the `recursive` option is specified as there will be unnecessary git repositories fetched. Please let us know if any comments. Best Regards Soby Mathew

problem about tf-rmm latest version

by 王海旺

hello tf-rmm group, Recently I'm learning ARM CCA.But I have trouble running the latest version TF-RMM.It failed at runtime/ core/ init.c/ in func rmm_arch_init.When try to do write_hcrx_el2 action it paniced.So it looks like the FVP doesn't have the hcrx_el2 register.I'm using the FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA_11.27_19. It's the latest version in the arm's offical website.The tf-rmm-v0.5.0 works fine.So I'm wondering how do you test latest version TF-RMM.It would be appreciated if you could reply. Best, Wang.

by Olivier Deprez

+ other MLs ________________________________ From: Olivier Deprez Sent: 30 October 2024 11:41 To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: TF-A Tech Forum regular call Dear TF-A ML members, As mentioned in https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-a-technical-forum/, trustedfirmware.org hosts regular technical calls on Thursdays. It mentions TF-A although in practise a number of Cortex-A projects beyond TF-A were discussed (refer to prior recordings on this page). Unfortunately this slot hasn't been very active recently. By this email I'm kindly emphasizing this forum is open to the community (and beyond trustedfirmware.org members) and you are welcome to propose topics. Presentations/slides are not strictly necessary, and we can also host informal discussions or session of questions. If you think of a topic, please reach to me and I'll be happy to accommodate. Thanks for your contributions in advance! Regards, Olivier.
