[PATCH v1 00/14] tee: optee: add dynamic shared memory support

From: Volodymyr Babchuk

From: Volodymyr Babchuk <vlad.babchuk@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes from v1:

* Added support for 16K and 64K pages.
* Elaborated commit messages
* More minor changes are described in corresponding patches.

While this patches are necessary for use OP-TEE in virualized environment,
they are not sufficient. Stuart Yoder was right, when proposed to make
static SHM optional. But that would be a breaking change, because this
will render unusable older client libraries and supplicants.

Also, as Mark Rutland pointed, OP-TEE virtualization will need support
from hypervisor side.

Anyways, those patches allowed me to call OP-TEE from XEN's Dom0 without
remapping static SHM region into Dom0 userspace.

Also, this patches allow me to share quite big buffers (I tried to
use three 2M buffers at a time). This is imposible with static SHM,
because static SHM on most platforms is only 2M.

Thanks to Yury Norov <ynorov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and
Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> for reviewing this patch series.

v1 cover letter:
This patch series enables dynamic shared memory support in the TEE
subsystem as a whole and in OP-TEE in particular.

Global Platform TEE specification [1] allows client applications
to register part of own memory as a shared buffer between
application and TEE. This allows fast zero-copy communication between
TEE and REE. But current implementation of TEE in Linux does not support
this feature.

Also, current implementation of OP-TEE transport uses fixed size
pre-shared buffer for all communications with OP-TEE OS. This is okay
in the most use cases. But this prevents use of OP-TEE in virtualized
environments, because:
a) We can't share the same buffer between different virtual machines
b) Physically contiguous memory as seen by VM can be non-contiguous
in reality (and as seen by OP-TEE OS) due to second stage of
MMU translation.
c) Size of this pre-shared buffer is limited.

So, first part of this patch series adds generic register/unregister
interface to tee subsystem. Next patches add necessary features
into OP-TEE driver, so it can use not only static pre-shared buffer,
but whole RAM to communicate with OP-TEE OS.
