- `bootloader_flash_execute_command_common`: whitelist the flash command
opcodes the REE actually uses; reject the rest
- `spi_flash_hal_* services`: a forged `host->driver` could hijack TEE
control flow since the HAL dispatches through it, so swap
`host->driver` to a TEE-rodata vtable around each HAL call
- Deny partition table and bootloader writes by default and permit
bootloader writes only when explicitly enabled via
`CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE_ALLOWED` option
- Protect the TEE-assigned interrupt pin configuration against REE
- Validate nested DS context pointers in start/finish_sign and bound
the result copy to the SoC max signature size
- Fix the stack usage in service dispatcher argument parsing
A typical scenario is: when XIP on PSRAM enabled, compiler optimization level is Os. Under certain binary layout, boot hangs and backtrace points to `esp_sleep_config_gpio_isolate`.
The root cause is that, during PSRAM initialization, it calls esp_gpio_reserve, which happens to place before the reported function. However, after call, there is no barrier before the clock adjustment in `mspi_timing_enter_low_speed_mode`. The clock gets changed when the cache is still fetching data, resulting in the corrupted data in the end of the cache line.
This commits add spi_flash_disable_cache as a barrier to make sure the cache transactions is finished before the clock switch.
The TLSF ROM patch code (rom_patch_tlsf.c, rom_patch_multi_heap.c),
their headers, and the per-target *.rom.heap.ld linker scripts are
semantically owned by the heap component, not esp_rom. Move them
accordingly:
- components/esp_rom/patches/esp_rom_tlsf.c
→ components/heap/rom_patches/rom_patch_tlsf.c
- components/esp_rom/patches/esp_rom_multi_heap.c
→ components/heap/rom_patches/rom_patch_multi_heap.c
- components/esp_rom/include/esp_rom_tlsf.h
→ components/heap/rom_patches/include/rom_patch_tlsf.h
- components/esp_rom/include/esp_rom_multi_heap.h
→ components/heap/rom_patches/include/rom_patch_multi_heap.h
- components/esp_rom/<target>/ld/<target>.rom.heap.ld (×8)
→ components/heap/port/<target>/ld/<target>.rom.heap.ld
Update heap/CMakeLists.txt to:
- use target_linker_script() directly for *.rom.heap.ld
- guard post-registration ROM patch setup with NOT BOOTLOADER_BUILD
- drop stale CONFIG_HEAP_TLSF_CHECK_PATCH symbol reference
- drop esp_rom_include_multi_heap_patch from TLSF_CHECK_PATCH guard
Remove the corresponding entries from esp_rom/CMakeLists.txt.
TEE secure-service handlers had two bugs letting REE bypass
pointer-region validation:
1. valid_addr = instead of valid_addr &= in AEAD encrypt/decrypt
and DS sign handlers, clobbering prior failed checks.
Impact: REE writes to TEE DRAM via DS signature output, or reads
TEE DRAM via AEAD output.
2. data->rsa_length dereferenced before data is validated in DS sign
and DS start_sign handlers.
Fix: use &= for subsequent checks, add early return after initial
data pointer check in DS handlers.
- Using PMA, the TEE IRAM is marked as R/X while TEE DRAM is marked as R/W.
Moving the internal memory secure service call table from DRAM to IRAM
makes it immutable.
- Fix intermittent TEE stack underflow test failures
- Fix out-of-bounds access Coverity report from the attestation
component
- Add appropriate checks and asserts for TEE flash memory regions'
sizes
This commit reorganizes SPI flash header files to better reflect their
visibility and intended usage:
1. Rename `esp_flash_port/` to `esp_flash_chips/`:
- Better reflects that these headers are for chip driver implementations
- All chip driver headers moved to `esp_flash_chips/` directory
- Added README.md explaining semi-public nature of these headers
2. Move internal headers to `esp_private/`:
- `esp_flash_internal.h` -> `esp_private/esp_flash_internal.h`
- `memspi_host_driver.h` -> `esp_private/memspi_host_driver.h`
3. Move chip driver related headers to `esp_flash_chips/`:
- `esp_private/esp_flash_types.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/esp_flash_types.h`
- `spi_flash/spi_flash_defs.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/spi_flash_defs.h`
- `spi_flash_override.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/spi_flash_override.h`
- All `spi_flash_chip_*.h` headers moved to `esp_flash_chips/`
4. Code improvements:
- Remove unused includes (e.g., `spi_flash_override.h` from `cache_utils.c`)
- Use public API `esp_flash_get_size()` instead of direct member access
- Add `esp_flash_is_quad_mode` to linker.lf for IRAM placement
5. Documentation updates:
- Add README.md in `esp_flash_chips/` explaining semi-public headers
- Update programming guide with warnings about internal headers
- Update both English and Chinese documentation
6. Update all references across the codebase:
- Update includes in `spi_flash` component
- Update `bootloader_support`, `app_update`, `esp_tee`, `espcoredump`
- Update example projects
Breaking changes:
- Headers moved to new locations require include path updates
- `custom_flash_driver` example temporarily disabled until external
components are updated
- Also fixed an issue where NewLib ROM APIs, when called from TEE, were
using the syscall table located in the REE SRAM. This could be abused
as an attack vector to invoke illegal functions from the TEE.
To prevent this, the syscall table is now switched to the TEE-specific
copy during every M-U mode transition.
Currently, REE SPI flash HAL operations are routed as service calls to TEE,
but the TEE implementation incorrectly uses ROM APIs instead of HAL APIs.
This leads to issues and is not the recommended approach.
- Previously, only the U-mode interrupt threshold was raised in REE critical sections,
leaving M-mode at the lowest level.
- As a result, when a service call transitioned to M-mode, all interrupts were still
allowed to fire, including those that should have been masked.
- Remove GPTIMER and TIMG related definitions from soc_caps_full.h files
- Move timer peripheral definitions to appropriate HAL layer files
- Update references across components to use proper HAL abstractions
- Consolidate timer group and GPTIMER capabilities organization
- Ensure consistent timer configuration across all ESP32 variants
This refactoring improves the separation of concerns between SOC
capabilities and HAL implementations for timer-related functionality.
- Ensure bound checks correctly handle all scenarios, including
when a requested operation's (SPI0/1) range fully contains the
TEE-protected region.
- Disable delegation of INTWDT timeout and Cache error interrupts as they reset
the device after the panic handler
- Fix incorrect setting in the edge interrupt acknowledgement API
- Avoid executing the service call dispatcher in the U-mode ecall,
rather execute `mret` to jump it
- Avoid `t1` register corruption when processing `ecall`
- Switch back to the bootloader stack from TEE stack after the
execution of the entire TEE initialization routine
