LPC55S69 : cmse_nonsecure_entry privileges

EugeneHiihtaja — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 08:29:32 GMT

Hello !

I have FreeRTOS tasks on non secure side what running with user privileges.

Sometimes the should use cmse_nonsecure_entry calls to secure side and it is not so clear with what privilege this call appears on secure side.

I think call with user privilege on nonsecure side should be with user privilege on secure side as well.

Or some escalation of privileges can happens or can be done ?

Regards,

Eugene

Hi soledad‌ !

It is non clear set anywhere. But let's assume MPU configured on secure side and some code/data privileged and some are not.

Does privilege on nonsecure side call have effect for privileges protection on secure side ?

Or any call via NSC ares are privileged automatically ?

Regards,

Eugene

I think you can do something like:

#include <arm_cmse.h> void __attribute__((cmse_nonsecure_entry)) entry_func(int val) {   int state = cmse_nonsecure_caller();    if (state)   { // called from non-secure     // do non-secure work     ...   } else   { // called from within secure     // do secure work     ...   } }

Hi !

I mean if NS side call CMSE functions with user or privileged rights.

I can't call NS printf from rtos task with user privileges.

So what is caller rights for call function via NSC ?

Should caller on NS side be privileged or nonprivileged is also OK ?

Eugene
