When user space doesn't need the file + descriptor any more, it should be closed. When shared memory isn't needed + any longer it should be unmapped with munmap() to allow the reuse of + memory. + +- TEE_IOC_VERSION lets user space know which TEE this driver handles and + its capabilities. + +- TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION opens a new session to a Trusted Application. + +- TEE_IOC_INVOKE invokes a function in a Trusted Application. + +- TEE_IOC_CANCEL may cancel an ongoing TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION or TEE_IOC_INVOKE. + +- TEE_IOC_CLOSE_SESSION closes a session to a Trusted Application. + +There are two classes of clients, normal clients and supplicants. The latter is +a helper process for the TEE to access resources in Linux, for example file +system access. A normal client opens /dev/tee[0-9]* and a supplicant opens +/dev/teepriv[0-9]. + +Much of the communication between clients and the TEE is opaque to the +driver. The main job for the driver is to receive requests from the +clients, forward them to the TEE and send back the results. In the case of +supplicants the communication goes in the other direction, the TEE sends +requests to the supplicant which then sends back the result. + +The TEE kernel interface +======================== + +Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is +represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and +client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs. + +TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs: + +match(): + iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding + match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is + probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This + process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE + bus. + +uevent(): + notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on + TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers. + +TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it +is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation. + +Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs +listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h. + +TEE client driver example +------------------------- + +Suppose a TEE client driver needs to communicate with a Trusted Application +having UUID: ``ac6a4085-0e82-4c33-bf98-8eb8e118b6c2``, so driver registration +snippet would look like:: + + static const struct tee_client_device_id client_id_table[] = { + {UUID_INIT(0xac6a4085, 0x0e82, 0x4c33, + 0xbf, 0x98, 0x8e, 0xb8, 0xe1, 0x18, 0xb6, 0xc2)}, + {} + }; + + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, client_id_table); + + static struct tee_client_driver client_driver = { + .id_table = client_id_table, + .driver = { + .name = DRIVER_NAME, + .bus = &tee_bus_type, + .probe = client_probe, + .remove = client_remove, + }, + }; + + static int __init client_init(void) + { + return driver_register(&client_driver.driver); + } + + static void __exit client_exit(void) + { + driver_unregister(&client_driver.driver); + } + + module_init(client_init); + module_exit(client_exit); + +OP-TEE driver +============= + +The OP-TEE driver handles OP-TEE [1] based TEEs. Currently it is only the ARM +TrustZone based OP-TEE solution that is supported. + +Lowest level of communication with OP-TEE builds on ARM SMC Calling +Convention (SMCCC) [2], which is the foundation for OP-TEE's SMC interface +[3] used internally by the driver. Stacked on top of that is OP-TEE Message +Protocol [4]. + +OP-TEE SMC interface provides the basic functions required by SMCCC and some +additional functions specific for OP-TEE. The most interesting functions are: + +- OPTEE_SMC_FUNCID_CALLS_UID (part of SMCCC) returns the version information + which is then returned by TEE_IOC_VERSION + +- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_GET_OS_UUID returns the particular OP-TEE implementation, used + to tell, for instance, a TrustZone OP-TEE apart from an OP-TEE running on a + separate secure co-processor. + +- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG drives the OP-TEE message protocol + +- OPTEE_SMC_GET_SHM_CONFIG lets the driver and OP-TEE agree on which memory + range to used for shared memory between Linux and OP-TEE. + +The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] is implemented on top of the generic +TEE API. + +Picture of the relationship between the different components in the +OP-TEE architecture:: + + User space Kernel Secure world + ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +--------+ +-------------+ + | Client | | Trusted | + +--------+ | Application | + /\ +-------------+ + || +----------+ /\ + || |tee- | || + || |supplicant| \/ + || +----------+ +-------------+ + \/ /\ | TEE Internal| + +-------+ || | API | + + TEE | || +--------+--------+ +-------------+ + | Client| || | TEE | OP-TEE | | OP-TEE | + | API | \/ | subsys | driver | | Trusted OS | + +-------+----------------+----+-------+----+-----------+-------------+ + | Generic TEE API | | OP-TEE MSG | + | IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | SMCCC (OPTEE_SMC_CALL_*) | + +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------+ + +RPC (Remote Procedure Call) are requests from secure world to kernel driver +or tee-supplicant. An RPC is identified by a special range of SMCCC return +values from OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG. RPC messages which are intended for the +kernel are handled by the kernel driver. Other RPC messages will be forwarded to +tee-supplicant without further involvement of the driver, except switching +shared memory buffer representation. + +OP-TEE device enumeration +------------------------- + +OP-TEE provides a pseudo Trusted Application: drivers/tee/optee/device.c in +order to support device enumeration. In other words, OP-TEE driver invokes this +application to retrieve a list of Trusted Applications which can be registered +as devices on the TEE bus. + +AMD-TEE driver +============== + +The AMD-TEE driver handles the communication with AMD's TEE environment. The +TEE environment is provided by AMD Secure Processor. + +The AMD Secure Processor (formerly called Platform Security Processor or PSP) +is a dedicated processor that features ARM TrustZone technology, along with a +software-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed to enable +third-party Trusted Applications.

The interface +between AMD-TEE driver and AMD Secure Processor driver can be found in [6]. + +The AMD-TEE driver packages the command buffer payload for processing in TEE. +The command buffer format for the different TEE commands can be found in [7]. + +The TEE commands supported by AMD-TEE Trusted OS are: + +* TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA - loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into + TEE environment. +* TEE_CMD_ID_UNLOAD_TA - unloads TA binary from TEE environment. +* TEE_CMD_ID_OPEN_SESSION - opens a session with a loaded TA. +* TEE_CMD_ID_CLOSE_SESSION - closes session with loaded TA +* TEE_CMD_ID_INVOKE_CMD - invokes a command with loaded TA +* TEE_CMD_ID_MAP_SHARED_MEM - maps shared memory +* TEE_CMD_ID_UNMAP_SHARED_MEM - unmaps shared memory + +AMD-TEE Trusted OS is the firmware running on AMD Secure Processor. + +The AMD-TEE driver registers itself with TEE subsystem and implements the +following driver function callbacks: + +* get_version - returns the driver implementation id and capability. +* open - sets up the driver context data structure. +* release - frees up driver resources. +* open_session - loads the TA binary and opens session with loaded TA. +* close_session - closes session with loaded TA and unloads it. +* invoke_func - invokes a command with loaded TA. + +cancel_req driver callback is not supported by AMD-TEE. + +The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] can be used by the user space (client) to +talk to AMD's TEE.
