commit 1005bccd7a4a ("crypto: caam - enable instantiation of all RNG4 state
handles") introduces a control when incrementing ent_delay which contains
the following comment above it:

/*
 * If either SH were instantiated by somebody else
 * (e.g. u-boot) then it is assumed that the entropy
 * parameters are properly set and thus the function
 * setting these (kick_trng(...)) is skipped.
 * Also, if a handle was instantiated, do not change
 * the TRNG parameters.
 */

This is a problem observed when sec_init() has been run in u-boot and
and TrustZone is enabled. We can fix this by instantiating all rng state
handles in u-boot but, on the Kernel side we should ensure that this
non-terminating path is dealt with.

Fixes: 1005bccd7a4a ("crypto: caam - enable instantiation of all RNG4 state
handles")

If both RNG state handles are initialized before kernel runs, then
instantiate_rng() should be a no-op and return 0, which is enough to exit the
loop: while ((ret == -EAGAIN) && (ent_delay < RTSDCTL_ENT_DLY_MAX))

If the loop cannot exit based on value of "ret" != -EAGAIN, then it means
caam_probe() will eventually fail due to ret == -EAGAIN:
	if (ret) {
		dev_err(dev, "failed to instantiate RNG");
		goto caam_remove;
	}

Please provide more details, so that the root cause is found and fixed.
For e.g. what is the value of RDSTA (RNG DRNG Status register @0x6C0):
-before & after u-boot initializes RNG
-as seen by kernel during caam_probe()
Also provide related error messages displayed during boot.

Thanks,

For me it's an endless loop applying the first two

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/866462/

but not this one

I think the problem lies in the instantiate_rng() function. If the
driver is unable to acquire DEC0 it'll return -ENODEV. This should
terminate the while loop in the probe function. However, the return
value is never checked and is instead overwritten with -EAGAIN, causing
the endless loop.

This problem only occurs if u-boot instantiates only one of the state
handles (ent_delay doesn't get incremented) and the kernel runs in non-
secure mode (DEC0 can't get acquired). Instantiating all state handles
in u-boot therefore fixes this problem. In addition, the return value
in instantiate_rng() should be handled correctly by including

if (ret)
	break;

right after "ret = run_descriptor_deco0(ctrldev, desc, &status);".

Lukas

Indeed, the error path is incorrect and should be fixed as you mentioned.
I will send a patch replacing this one.
Note that this fixes only the error path, meaning caam_probe() won't go into an
endless loop and instead will return -ENODEV, due to being unable to acquire
control of DECO0.

There are still a few hurdles to cross for CAAM to work in a TZ environment.

For e.g. could you please check / confirm whether DECO0MIDR (DECO0 MID registers
@0xA0, @0xA4) are set such that Linux kernel is allowed to r/w DECO0-related
registers?

Thanks,
Horia

On my board DECO0 MID ms is set to 0x8001, which I believe (going by
the structure of the other MID registers, since some of the bits are
only marked as reserved) is a MID of 1 (A7 cores) in secure mode.
Changing this to 0x9 for a MID of 1 in non-secure mode still fails the
DEC0 acquisition step in the probe call.

So unfortunately I am not sure what / if other steps are required to
use the CAAM in non-secure mode. Running a quick test with openssl
speed (using CAAM with cryptodev), it at least seems to be working.

Thanks,
Lukas
