Description

RTOS Thread Context Management for Armv8-M TrustZone.

The CMSIS-Core provides the file tz_context.h which defines an API to standardize the context memory system for real-time operating systems. For more information refer to RTOS Thread Context Management.

Function Documentation

TZ_AllocModuleContext_S()

TZ_MemoryId_t TZ_AllocModuleContext_S

(

TZ_ModuleId_t

module

)

Allocate context memory for calling secure software modules in TrustZone.

Allocates the secure memory regions for thread execution. The parameter module describes the set of secure functions that are called by the non-secure thread. Set module to zero if no secure calls are used/allowed. This leads to no secure memory to be assigned which results in zero being returned as memory id as well. This function should be called by an RTOS kernel at the start of a thread.

Parameters

[in]

module

A non-zero value identifies software modules called from non-secure mode. zero is used if no secure calls are used/allowed.

Returns

value != 0 id TrustZone memory slot identify

value 0 no memory available or internal error

TZ_FreeModuleContext_S()

uint32_t TZ_FreeModuleContext_S

(

TZ_MemoryId_t

id

)

Free context memory that was previously allocated with TZ_AllocModuleContext_S.

De-allocates the secure memory regions. The parameter id refers to a TrustZone memory slot that has been obtained with TZ_AllocModuleContext_S. This function should be called by an RTOS kernel at the termination of a thread.

Parameters

[in]

id

TrustZone memory slot identifier

Returns

execution status (1: success, 0: error)

TZ_InitContextSystem_S()

uint32_t TZ_InitContextSystem_S

(

void

)

Initialize secure context memory system.

Initializes the memory allocation management for the secure memory regions. As a minimum the secure thread mode stack will be provided.

Returns

execution status (1: success, 0: error)

TZ_LoadContext_S()

uint32_t TZ_LoadContext_S

(

TZ_MemoryId_t

id

)

Load secure context (called on RTOS thread context switch)

Prepare the secure context for execution so that a thread in the non-secure state can call secure library modules. The parameter id refers to a TrustZone memory slot that has been obtained with TZ_AllocModuleContext_S which might be zero if not used. This function should be called by an RTOS kernel at thread context switch before running a thread.

Parameters

[in]

id

TrustZone memory slot identifier

Returns

execution status (1: success, 0: error)

TZ_StoreContext_S()

uint32_t TZ_StoreContext_S

(

TZ_MemoryId_t

id

)

Store secure context (called on RTOS thread context switch)

Free the secure context that has been previously loaded with TZ_LoadContext_S. The parameter id refers to a TrustZone memory slot that has been obtained with TZ_AllocModuleContext_S which might be zero if not used. This function should be called by an RTOS kernel at thread context switch after running a thread.

Parameters

[in]

id

TrustZone memory slot identifier

Returns

execution status (1: success, 0: error)
