OP-TEE sanity testsuite

The optee_test git contains the source code for the TEE sanity
testsuite in Linux using the ARM(R) TrustZone(R) technology.
It is distributed under the GPLv2 and BSD 2-clause open-source
licenses.
For a general overview of OP-TEE, please see the
Notice.md file.

HOWTO build the testsuite

Standard tests

xtest test suite comes with a standard test suite,
freely available. When installing OP-TEE through the
manifest,
the build
component provides the xtest target which builds optee_test.
It makes use of the following environment variables:
* CROSS_COMPILE_HOST: the cross compiler used to compile the
Non-Secure Client Application (host/xtest)
* CROSS_COMPILE_TA: the cross compiler used to compile the
Trusted Applications (ta)
* TA_DEV_KIT_DIR: the path to the Trusted Application Dev Kit.
It can be found in optee_os repository, once optee_os has been compiled.
* O: the output repository
* When the application is compiled in 32bits mode,
CFG_ARM32=y must be set.

Extended test (Global Platform tests)

Developers can purchase the
Global Platform Compliance Test suite.
This test suite comes with .xml files describing the tests and
the Trusted Applications.

Standard tests can be extended with the Global Platform test suite.
The user must only:
* Install the Global Platform xml files in $CFG_GP_PACKAGE_PATH
* Run make patch (or call make xtest-patch from the build repository)
before compiling xtest. This must be run a single time after the installation
of OP-TEE.

This will:
* Create new Trusted Applications, that can be found in ta/GP_xxx
* Create new tests in host/xtest, as for example xtest_9000.c
* Patches xtest_7000.c, adding new tests.

Then the tests must be compiled with CFG_GP_PACKAGE_PATH=<path>.

HOWTO run xtest

# all xtest
boot and execute on your target
$ modprobe optee_armtz
$ tee-supplicant &
$ xtest

# single xtest
boot and execute on your target
$ modprobe optee_armtz
$ tee-supplicant &
$ xtest <testnumber> (i.e.: xtest 1001)

# family xtest (i.e.: Family 1000)
boot and execute on your target
$ modprobe optee_armtz
$ tee-supplicant &
$ xtest _<family> (i.e.: xtest _1)

Compiler flags

To be able to see the full command when building you could build using following
flag:

$ make V=1

To state where build files are stored use the O flag.

$ make O=$HOME/foo

By default optee_test expects that optee_client is located at the same
folder level. However if you build optee_client in another location, then you
also would need to use (or export) the following flag:

$ make OPTEE_CLIENT_PATH=$HOME/my_new_location

Coding standards

In this project we are trying to adhere to the same coding convention as used in
the Linux kernel (see
CodingStyle). We achieve this by running
checkpatch from Linux kernel.
However there are a few exceptions that we had to make since the code also
follows GlobalPlatform standards. The exceptions are as follows:

  • CamelCase for GlobalPlatform types are allowed.
  • And we also exclude checking third party code that we might use in this
    project, such as LibTomCrypt, MPA, newlib (not in this particular git, but
    those are also part of the complete TEE solution). The reason for excluding
    and not fixing third party code is because we would probably deviate too much
    from upstream and therefore it would be hard to rebase against those projects
    later on (and we don't expect that it is easy to convince other software
    projects to change coding style).

checkpatch

Since checkpatch is licensed under the terms of GNU GPL License Version 2, we
cannot include this script directly into this project. Therefore we have
written the Makefile so you need to explicitly point to the script by exporting
an environment variable, namely CHECKPATCH. So, suppose that the source code for
the Linux kernel is at $HOME/devel/linux, then you have to export like follows:

$ export CHECKPATCH=$HOME/devel/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl

thereafter it should be possible to use one of the different checkpatch targets
in the Makefile. There are targets for checking all files, checking
against latest commit, against a certain base-commit etc. For the details, read
the Makefile.
