[PATCH v13 0/5] generic TEE subsystem

[Jens Wiklander]

Hi,

This patch set introduces a generic TEE subsystem. These patches are used
on HiKey in AOSP. It's currently supported by roughly 20 platforms
(https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os#3-platforms-supported), to name a few,
Renesas RCAR H3, Sequitur Labs CoreTEE, Wind River VxWorks etc.

Iâm not sure how to progress this. Iâve had only positive feedback on the
previous v12 version. In the previous versions Iâve addressed all feedback
(which has been getting more and more minor) and I havenât had any response
from Greg since February. Is there anything else we can be doing here to
help progress this?

The TEE subsystem will contain drivers for various TEE implementations. 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.

Regarding use cases, TrustZone has traditionally been used for
offloading secure tasks to the secure world. Examples include: 
- Secure key handling where the OS may or may not have direct access to key
  material.
- E-commerce and payment technologies. Credentials, credit card numbers etc
  could be stored in a more secure environment.
- Trusted User Interface (TUI) to ensure that no-one can snoop PIN-codes
  etc.
- Secure boot to ensure that loaded binaries havenât been tampered with.
  Itâs not strictly needed for secure boot, but you could enhance security
  by leveraging a TEE during boot.
- Digital Rights Management (DRM), the studios provides content with
  different resolution depending on the security of the device. Higher
  security means higher resolution.

A TEE could also be used in existing and new technologies. For example IMA
(Integrity Measurement Architecture) which has been in the kernel for quite
a while. Today you can enhance security by using a TPM-chip to sign the IMA
measurement list. This is something that also has been done in practical
systems by leveraging a TEE.

Another example could be in 2-factor authentication which is becoming
increasingly more important. FIDO (https://fidoalliance.org) for example
are using public key cryptography in their 2-factor authentication standard
(U2F). With FIDO, a private and public key pair will be generated for every
site you visit and the private key should never leave the local device.
This is an example where you could use secure storage in a TEE for the
private key.

Today you will find a quite a few different out of tree implementations of
TEE drivers which tends to fragment the TEE ecosystem and development. We
think it would be a good idea to have a generic TEE driver integrated in
the kernel which would serve as a base for several different TEE solutions,
no matter if they are on-chip like TrustZone or if they are on a separate
crypto co-processor.

To develop this TEE subsystem we have been using the open source TEE called
OP-TEE (https://www.op-tee.org/) and therefore this would be the first TEE
solution supported by this new subsystem. OP-TEE is a GlobalPlatform
compliant TEE, however this TEE subsystem is not limited to only
GlobalPlatform TEEs, instead we have tried to design it so that it should
work with other TEE solutions also. Since the first version (2015 April) of
this patchset weâve talked about it at Linaro Connect, GlobalPlatform
annual TEE conference and last time at Linux Plumbers, so we think there
has been both exposure and plenty of time to be able to get involved in
this work.

"tee: generic TEE subsystem" brings in the generic TEE subsystem which
helps when writing a driver for a specific TEE, for example, OP-TEE.

"tee: add OP-TEE driver" is an OP-TEE driver which uses the subsystem to do
its work.

This patch set has been prepared in cooperation with Javier GonzÃlez who
proposed "Generic TrustZone Driver in Linux Kernel" patches 28 Nov 2014,
https://lwn.net/Articles/623380/ . We've since then changed the scope to
TEE instead of TrustZone.

We have discussed the design on tee-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (archive at
https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/tee-dev/) with people from other
companies, including Valentin Manea <valentin.manea@xxxxxxxxxx>,
Emmanuel MICHEL <emmanuel.michel@xxxxxx>,
Jean-michel DELORME <jean-michel.delorme@xxxxxx>,
and Joakim Bech <joakim.bech@xxxxxxxxxx>. Our main concern has been to
agree on something that is generic enough to support many different
TEEs while still keeping the interface together.

  object from an unrelated process

* Fixes spell error in "dt/bindings: add bindings for optee"

v7:
* Rebased on v4.5-rc2
* Moved the ARM SMC Calling Convention support into a separate patch
  set, which is now merged

v6:
* Rebased on v4.3-rc7
* Changed smccc interface to let the compiler marshal most of the

* Rebased on 4.1
* Redesigned the synchronization around entry exit of normal SMC
* Replaced rwsem on the driver instance with kref and completion since
  rwsem wasn't intended to be used in this way

* Moved tee.h into include/uapi/linux/
* Redefined tee.h IOCTL macros to be directly based on _IOR and friends
* Removed version info on the API to user space, a data blob which
  can contain an UUID is left for user space to be able to tell which
  protocol to use in TEE_IOC_CMD
* Changed user space exposed structures to only have types with __ prefix
* Dropped THIS_MODULE from tee_fops
* Reworked how the driver is registered and ref counted:
  - moved from using an embedded struct miscdevice to an embedded struct
    device.
  - uses an struct rw_semaphore as synchronization for driver detachment
  - uses alloc/register pattern from TPM

Thanks,
Jens
