[PATCH v27 5/7] firmware: drivers: imx: adds miscdev

[pankaj . gupta]

From: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta@xxxxxxx>

Adds the driver for communication interface to secure-enclave, that
enables exchanging messages with NXP secure enclave HW IP(s)
like EdgeLock Enclave, from:
- User-Space Applications via character driver.

ABI documentation for the NXP secure-enclave driver.

User-space library using this driver:
- i.MX Secure Enclave library:
  -- URL: https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-secure-enclave.git,
- i.MX Secure Middle-Ware:
  -- URL: https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-smw.git

Following checks are performed on the incoming msg-header,
to block exchanging invalid arbitrary commands:
- maximum allowed words,
- check if command-tag & response-tag are valid
- version,
- command id validation check, to allow limited base-line API(s)
  and restrict following:
  - exchanging power management commands.
  - reset requests.
  - BBSM configuration requests.
  - re-initializing the FW.
  - RNG init
  - CAAM resource release management
  - SE's internal memory management.
from user-space.

Changes from v26 to v27

Fix issues reported by Sashiko while reviewing patch 5/7:
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Critical: allocated DMA address for encrypted IMEM buffer discarded
   Status: Fixed.
   The IMEM buffer stores dma_addr_t daddr, and save/restore uses imem->daddr.

2. High: command receiver contexts bypass response timeout
   Status: Fixed.
   Timeout classification is now based on the callback handle used for the wait,
   not file/device context identity.

3. High: dlink_dev_ctx() frees command receiver rx_msg without lock
   Status: Fixed.
   dlink_dev_ctx() now clears command-receiver callback state under
   cmd_receiver_clbk_hdl.clbk_rx_lock and frees the old rx_msg after
   dropping the lock.

4. High: missing kref_init() in init_device_context()
   Status: Fixed.
   The v27 changelog states init_device_context() now calls
   kref_init(&dev_ctx->refcount)

5. High: unbind/remove hangs when userspace is blocked in read()
   Status: Fixed.
   The read path no longer holds dev_ctx->fops_lock across the
   blocking ele_msg_rcv() wait, allowing teardown to acquire
   fops_lock and clean the context.

6. High: DMA memory freed while firmware may still process timed-out transaction
   Status: Fixed.
   fw_busy now tracks the exact timed-out dev_ctx via priv->fw_busy_dev_ctx.
   Cleanup skips freeing coherent DMA only for that context.
   Late response handling uses work, and teardown calls cancel_work_sync()
   plus se_clear_fw_busy().

7. High: concurrent ioctls can trigger multiple firmware authentications
   Status: Fixed.
   Firmware load state is serialized using load_fw->load_fw_lock.

8. High: get_se_soc_id() type confusion leaks pointer bits
   Status: Fixed.
   get_se_soc_id() now treats device_get_match_data() as struct se_if_node * and
   reads if_node->se_info->soc_id.

9. High: early mailbox send failure leaves dangling shared response waiter
   Status: Fixed.
   ele_msg_send_rcv() now clears response waiter state under clbk_rx_lock
   on mailbox send failure.

10. High: invalid dma_to_phys() on coherent DMA address
    Status: Fixed.
    Firmware authentication and IMEM service-swap paths use dma_addr_t end-to-end.
    dma_to_phys() was removed from this path.

11. Medium: UAPI ioctl structs use variable-sized pointers/types
    Status: Fixed.
    The UAPI ioctl structures now use fixed-width __u64 for user pointers and
    __u32 for sizes. Kernel code uses u64_to_user_ptr(), and
    .compat_ioctl = compat_ptr_ioctl is registered.

12. Medium: unbounded user size passed to memdup_user()
    Status: Fixed.
    MAX_ALLOWED_TX_MSG_SZ is introduced and user-provided TX/write
    sizes are validated before memdup_user().

13. Pre-existing high: misdirected signal handling in ele_msg_rcv()
    Status: Fixed / design-controlled.
    Deferred signal handling is tied to the response-wait callback handle
    instead of blindly modifying priv->waiting_rsp_clbk_hdl from unrelated
    wait paths. Command receiver daemon waits are kept separate from
    synchronous response waits.

+What:		/dev/<se>_mu[0-9]+_ch[0-9]+
+Date:		Mar 2025
+KernelVersion:	6.8
+Contact:	linux-imx@xxxxxxx, pankaj.gupta@xxxxxxx
+Description:
+		NXP offers multiple hardware IP(s) for secure enclaves like EdgeLock-
+		Enclave(ELE), SECO. The character device file descriptors
+		/dev/<se>_mu*_ch* are the interface between userspace NXP's secure-
+		enclave shared library and the kernel driver.
+
+		The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in
+		[include]<linux/firmware/imx/ele_mu_ioctl.h>.
+		ioctl(s) are used primarily for:
+
+			- shared memory management
+			- allocation of I/O buffers
+			- getting mu info
+			- setting a dev-ctx as receiver to receive all the commands from FW
+			- getting SoC info
+			- send command and receive command response
+
+		The following file operations are supported:
+
+		open(2)
+		  Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
+
+		read(2)
+		  Every read() from the opened character device context is waiting on
+		  wait_event_interruptible, that gets set by the registered mailbox callback
+		  function, indicating a message received from the firmware on message-
+		  unit.
+
+		write(2)
+		  Every write() to the opened character device context needs to acquire
+		  mailbox_lock before sending message on to the message unit.
+
+		close(2)
+		  Stops and frees up the I/O contexts that were associated
+		  with the file descriptor.
