Thanks for raising this query.

First of all to clarify the support Jens is adding here for allocating
restricted shared memory allocation in TEE subsystem is meant to be
generic and not specific to only secure media pipeline use-case. Then
here we not only have open source test applications but rather open
source firmware too (OP-TEE as a Trusted OS) [1] supporting this as a
core feature where we maintain a stable and extensible ABI among the
kernel and the OP-TEE core.

Restricted memory is a feature enforced by hardware specific firewalls
where a particular TEE implementation governs which particular block
of memory is accessible to a particular peripheral or a CPU running in
a higher privileged mode than the Linux kernel. There can be numeric
use-cases surrounding that as follows:

- Secure media pipeline where the contents gets decrypted and stored
in a restricted buffer which are then accessible only to media display
pipeline peripherals.
- Trusted user interface where a peripheral takes input from the user
and stores it in a restricted buffer which then is accessible to TEE
implementation only.
- Another possible use-case can be for the TEE implementation to store
key material in a restricted buffer which is only accessible to the
hardware crypto accelerator.

I am sure there will be more use-cases related to this feature but
those will only be possible once we provide a stable and extensible
restricted memory interface among the Linux user-space and the secure
world user-space (normally referred to as Trusted Applications).

Currently the TEE subsystem already supports a stable ABI for shared
memory allocator among Linux user-space and secure world user-space
here [2]. And the stable ABI for restricted memory is also along the
same lines meant to be a vendor neutral abstraction for the user-space
access. The current test cases not only test the interface but also
perform regression tests too.

I am also in favour of end to end open source use-cases. But I fear
without progressing in a step wise manner as with this proposal we
would rather force developers to upstream all the software pieces in
one go which will be kind of a chicken and egg situation. I am sure
once this feature lands Mediatek folks will be interested to port
their secure video playback patchset [3] on top of it. Similarly other
silicon vendors like NXP, Qcom etc. will be motivated to do the same.
