It turns out that while the QSEECOM APP_SEND command has specific fields
for request and response buffers, uefisecapp expects them both to be in
a single memory region. Failure to adhere to this has (so far) resulted
in either no response being written to the response buffer (causing an
EIO to be emitted down the line), the SCM call to fail with EINVAL
(i.e., directly from TZ/firmware), or the device to be hard-reset.

While this issue can be triggered deterministically, in the current form
it seems to happen rather sporadically (which is why it has gone
unnoticed during earlier testing). This is likely due to the two
kzalloc() calls (for request and response) being directly after each
other. Which means that those likely return consecutive regions most of
the time, especially when not much else is going on in the system.

Fix this by allocating a single memory region for both request and
response buffers, properly aligning both structs inside it. This
unfortunately also means that the qcom_scm_qseecom_app_send() interface
needs to be restructured, as it should no longer map the DMA regions
separately. Therefore, move the responsibility of DMA allocation (or
mapping) to the caller.

Thanks for tracking this down. I can confirm that this fixes the
hypervisor reset I can trigger by repeatedly reading an EFI variable on
the X13s. Before it triggered within minutes, now I ran it for 3 hours
without any issues:

Even if the patch is a bit large it's straight-forward and fixes a
critical bug so I think this needs to go to stable as well:

Throughout the patch, could you please refer to DMA addresses as DMA
addresses rather than physical addresses, for example, by using a "_dma"
rather than "_phys" suffix here?

Sure. I've applied this and the changes below (as well as similar ones
for qcom_qseecom.h) for v2.

Thanks!

I'd also prefer if you dropped the "_virt" suffix from the buffer
pointers.
