Add a separate documentation directory for TEE subsystem since it is a
standalone subsystem which already offers devices consumed by multiple
different subsystem drivers.
Split overall TEE subsystem documentation modularly where:
- The userspace API has been moved to Documentation/userspace-api/tee.rst.
- The driver API has been moved to Documentation/driver-api/tee.rst.
- The first module covers the overview of TEE subsystem.
- The further modules are dedicated to different TEE implementations like:
- OP-TEE
- AMD-TEE
- and so on for future TEE implementation support.

Changes in v2:
- Move userspace API to Documentation/userspace-api/tee.rst.
- Move driver API to Documentation/driver-api/tee.rst.

+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver API
+===============================================
+
+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

-TEE subsystem
-=============
-
-This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
-
-A TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) is a trusted OS running in some
-secure environment, for example, TrustZone on ARM CPUs, or a separate
-secure co-processor etc. A TEE driver handles the details needed to
-communicate with the TEE.
-
-This subsystem deals with:
-
-- Registration of TEE drivers
-
-- Managing shared memory between Linux and the TEE
-
-- Providing a generic API to the TEE
-
-The TEE interface
-=================
-
-include/uapi/linux/tee.h defines the generic interface to a TEE.
-
-User space (the client) connects to the driver by opening /dev/tee[0-9]* or
-/dev/teepriv[0-9]*.
-
-- TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC allocates shared memory and returns a file descriptor
- which user space can mmap. 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.
-

-having UUID: ``ac6a4085-0e82-4c33-bf98-8eb8e118b6c2``, so driver registration
-snippet would look like::

- 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)

-
- 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::

- | 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.
-
-OP-TEE notifications
---------------------
-
-There are two kinds of notifications that secure world can use to make
-normal world aware of some event.
-
-1. Synchronous notifications delivered with ``OPTEE_RPC_CMD_NOTIFICATION``
- using the ``OPTEE_RPC_NOTIFICATION_SEND`` parameter.
-2. Asynchronous notifications delivered with a combination of a non-secure
- edge-triggered interrupt and a fast call from the non-secure interrupt
- handler.
-
-Synchronous notifications are limited by depending on RPC for delivery,
-this is only usable when secure world is entered with a yielding call via
-``OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG``. This excludes such notifications from secure
-world interrupt handlers.
-
-An asynchronous notification is delivered via a non-secure edge-triggered
-interrupt to an interrupt handler registered in the OP-TEE driver. The
-actual notification value are retrieved with the fast call
-``OPTEE_SMC_GET_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE``. Note that one interrupt can represent
-multiple notifications.
-
-One notification value ``OPTEE_SMC_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE_DO_BOTTOM_HALF`` has a
-special meaning. When this value is received it means that normal world is
-supposed to make a yielding call ``OPTEE_MSG_CMD_DO_BOTTOM_HALF``. This
-call is done from the thread assisting the interrupt handler. This is a
-building block for OP-TEE OS in secure world to implement the top half and
-bottom half style of device drivers.
-
-OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option
-----------------------------------------
-
-The OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option enables the ability to load the
-BL32 OP-TEE image from the kernel after the kernel boots, rather than loading
-it from the firmware before the kernel boots. This also requires enabling the
-corresponding option in Trusted Firmware for Arm. The Trusted Firmware for Arm
-documentation [8] explains the security threat associated with enabling this as
-well as mitigations at the firmware and platform level.
-
-There are additional attack vectors/mitigations for the kernel that should be
-addressed when using this option.
-
-1. Boot chain security.
-
- * Attack vector: Replace the OP-TEE OS image in the rootfs to gain control of
- the system.
-
- * Mitigation: There must be boot chain security that verifies the kernel and
- rootfs, otherwise an attacker can modify the loaded OP-TEE binary by
- modifying it in the rootfs.
-
-2. Alternate boot modes.
-
- * Attack vector: Using an alternate boot mode (i.e. recovery mode), the
- OP-TEE driver isn't loaded, leaving the SMC hole open.
-
- * Mitigation: If there are alternate methods of booting the device, such as a
- recovery mode, it should be ensured that the same mitigations are applied
- in that mode.
-
-3. Attacks prior to SMC invocation.
-
- * Attack vector: Code that is executed prior to issuing the SMC call to load
- OP-TEE can be exploited to then load an alternate OS image.
-
- * Mitigation: The OP-TEE driver must be loaded before any potential attack
- vectors are opened up. This should include mounting of any modifiable
- filesystems, opening of network ports or communicating with external
- devices (e.g. USB).
-
-4. Blocking SMC call to load OP-TEE.
-
- * Attack vector: Prevent the driver from being probed, so the SMC call to
- load OP-TEE isn't executed when desired, leaving it open to being executed
- later and loading a modified OS.
-
- * Mitigation: It is recommended to build the OP-TEE driver as builtin driver
- rather than as a module to prevent exploits that may cause the module to
- not be loaded.
-
-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. This feature is currently enabled only for
-APUs.
-

-
-At the lowest level (in x86), the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) driver uses the

-
-The TEE commands supported by AMD-TEE Trusted OS are:
-
-* TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA - loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into

-* 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

+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.
+
+OP-TEE notifications
+--------------------
+
+There are two kinds of notifications that secure world can use to make
+normal world aware of some event.
+
+1. Synchronous notifications delivered with ``OPTEE_RPC_CMD_NOTIFICATION``
+ using the ``OPTEE_RPC_NOTIFICATION_SEND`` parameter.
+2. Asynchronous notifications delivered with a combination of a non-secure
+ edge-triggered interrupt and a fast call from the non-secure interrupt
+ handler.
+
+Synchronous notifications are limited by depending on RPC for delivery,
+this is only usable when secure world is entered with a yielding call via
+``OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG``. This excludes such notifications from secure
+world interrupt handlers.
+
+An asynchronous notification is delivered via a non-secure edge-triggered
+interrupt to an interrupt handler registered in the OP-TEE driver. The
+actual notification value are retrieved with the fast call
+``OPTEE_SMC_GET_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE``. Note that one interrupt can represent
+multiple notifications.
+
+One notification value ``OPTEE_SMC_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE_DO_BOTTOM_HALF`` has a
+special meaning. When this value is received it means that normal world is
+supposed to make a yielding call ``OPTEE_MSG_CMD_DO_BOTTOM_HALF``. This
+call is done from the thread assisting the interrupt handler. This is a
+building block for OP-TEE OS in secure world to implement the top half and
+bottom half style of device drivers.
+
+OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option
+----------------------------------------
+
+The OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option enables the ability to load the
+BL32 OP-TEE image from the kernel after the kernel boots, rather than loading
+it from the firmware before the kernel boots. This also requires enabling the
+corresponding option in Trusted Firmware for Arm. The Trusted Firmware for Arm
+documentation [6] explains the security threat associated with enabling this as
+well as mitigations at the firmware and platform level.
+
+There are additional attack vectors/mitigations for the kernel that should be
+addressed when using this option.
+
+1. Boot chain security.
+
+ * Attack vector: Replace the OP-TEE OS image in the rootfs to gain control of
+ the system.
+
+ * Mitigation: There must be boot chain security that verifies the kernel and
+ rootfs, otherwise an attacker can modify the loaded OP-TEE binary by
+ modifying it in the rootfs.
+
+2. Alternate boot modes.
+
+ * Attack vector: Using an alternate boot mode (i.e. recovery mode), the
+ OP-TEE driver isn't loaded, leaving the SMC hole open.
+
+ * Mitigation: If there are alternate methods of booting the device, such as a
+ recovery mode, it should be ensured that the same mitigations are applied
+ in that mode.
+
+3. Attacks prior to SMC invocation.
+
+ * Attack vector: Code that is executed prior to issuing the SMC call to load
+ OP-TEE can be exploited to then load an alternate OS image.
+
+ * Mitigation: The OP-TEE driver must be loaded before any potential attack
+ vectors are opened up. This should include mounting of any modifiable
+ filesystems, opening of network ports or communicating with external
+ devices (e.g. USB).
+
+4. Blocking SMC call to load OP-TEE.
+
+ * Attack vector: Prevent the driver from being probed, so the SMC call to
+ load OP-TEE isn't executed when desired, leaving it open to being executed
+ later and loading a modified OS.
+
+ * Mitigation: It is recommended to build the OP-TEE driver as builtin driver
+ rather than as a module to prevent exploits that may cause the module to
+ not be loaded.

+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
+===================================
+
+This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+A TEE is a trusted OS running in some secure environment, for example,
+TrustZone on ARM CPUs, or a separate secure co-processor etc. A TEE driver
+handles the details needed to communicate with the TEE.
+
+This subsystem deals with:
+
+- Registration of TEE drivers
+
+- Managing shared memory between Linux and the TEE
+
+- Providing a generic API to the TEE

+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) Userspace API
+==================================================
+
+include/uapi/linux/tee.h defines the generic interface to a TEE.
+
+User space (the client) connects to the driver by opening /dev/tee[0-9]* or
+/dev/teepriv[0-9]*.
+
+- TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC allocates shared memory and returns a file descriptor
+ which user space can mmap. 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.
