On platforms using the Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application (uefisecapp),
EFI variables cannot be accessed via the standard interface in EFI
runtime mode. The respective functions return EFI_UNSUPPORTED. On these
platforms, we instead need to talk to uefisecapp. This commit provides
support for this and registers the respective efivars operations to
access EFI variables from the kernel.

Communication with uefisecapp follows the standard Qualcomm Trusted
Environment (TEE or TrEE) / Secure OS conventions via the respective SCM
call interface. This is also the reason why variable access works
normally while boot services are active. During this time, said SCM
interface is managed by the boot services. When calling
ExitBootServices(), the ownership is transferred to the kernel.
Therefore, UEFI must not use that interface itself (as multiple parties
accessing this interface at the same time may lead to complications) and
cannot access variables for us.

I noticed that for efivarfs to work, you're currently relying on having
the firmware still claim that the variable services are supported in the
RT_PROP table so that efi core registers the default ops at subsys init
time (which are later overridden by this driver).

Otherwise efivarfs may fail to initialise when built in:

	static __init int efivarfs_init(void)
	{
		if (!efivars_kobject())
			return -ENODEV;

		return register_filesystem(&efivarfs_type);
	}

	module_init(efivarfs_init);

With recent X13s firmware the corresponding bit in the RT_PROP table has
been cleared so that efivarfs would fail to initialise. Similar problem
when booting with 'efi=noruntime'.

One way to handle this is to register also the qcom_uefisecapp_driver at
subsys init time and prevent it from being built as a module (e.g. as is
done for the SCM driver). I'm using the below patch for this currently.

I guess the Google GSMI implementation suffers from a similar problem.

Oh right, thanks for that tip!

I'll try to include that in v2 then. I'll also try to test that case
specifically.

Max

Subject: [PATCH] firmware: qcom_tee_uefisecapp: register at subsys init

Register efivars at subsys init time so that it is available when
efivarfs probes. For the same reason, also prevent building the driver
as a module.

This is specifically needed on platforms such as the Lenovo Thinkpad
X13s where the firmware has cleared the variable services in the RT_PROP
table so that efi core does not register any efivar callbacks at subsys
init time (which are later overridden).
