On platforms using the Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application (uefisecapp),
EFI variables cannot be accessed via the standard interface in EFI
runtime mode. The respective functions return EFI_UNSUPPORTED. On these
platforms, we instead need to talk to uefisecapp. This commit provides
support for this and registers the respective efivars operations to
access EFI variables from the kernel.

Communication with uefisecapp follows the Qualcomm QSEECOM / Secure OS
conventions via the respective SCM call interface. This is also the
reason why variable access works normally while boot services are
active. During this time, said SCM interface is managed by the boot
services. When calling ExitBootServices(), the ownership is transferred
to the kernel. Therefore, UEFI must not use that interface itself (as
multiple parties accessing this interface at the same time may lead to
complications) and cannot access variables for us.

Changes in v3:
  - No functional changes.

Changes in v2:
  - Rename (qctree -> qseecom) to allow differentiation between old
    (qseecom) and new (smcinvoke) interfaces to the trusted execution
    environment.

Note: the SoC doesn't fully describe the list of avialble qseecom applications. It depends on the particular vendor enabling or disabling them. It might be better to turn qseecom into the bus, create a list of possible app names and use qseecom_app_get_id() to check whether the application is available or not. Then you can instantiate only available devices and provide the app_id via struct qseecom_app_device wrapping struct device:

Alright, so would we have a SoC specific list of apps that we then check or a
global one?

As I've elaborated on a previous version: I'm a bit wary of using
qseecom_app_get_id() in this way, since the Windows driver I've got this from
expects the app to be present when calling that function. So I don't know much
about the failure cases, especially when it isn't present.

At this point, I'm just assuming that "res.status != QSEECOM_RESULT_SUCCESS"
means the app isn't present, but I don't know whether this can fail in other
ways. For a proper detection system I'd prefer if we can differentiate between
"some internal failure" and "not-present" cases.

I can still give that a try thouhg.

Maybe you or someone else knows a bit more about that than I do and can set my
mind at ease? (Again, all my knowledge about this comes from reverse
engineering, so it's not that much.)

Right, will do. Not sure how I missed those when looking for utf16 string functions...

Do we need to pack everything into a single DMA buffer? Otherwise it would be better to add qseecom_dma_alloc_aligned function, which will take care of the alignment for a single data piece.

It may be possible to split this into two buffers, one for input and one for
output, but packing of input parameters would still be required (see the
assignments to req_data below).

For the input, you essentially provide one buffer (address) to qseecom,
starting with req_data describing the layout in it. This description is
offset-based, so there's no way to specify multiple addresses/buffers as input.
The output behaves similarly, it's just the secure OS that does the packing.

And since we already have to take care of aligning the input parameters, I'm
not sure that it makes sense to split this into two.

+    /* Make sure we have enough DMA memory. */
+    status = qseecom_dma_realloc(qcuefi->dev, &qcuefi->dma, size, GFP_KERNEL);

This looks like an antipattern. Please allocate the buffer before querrying the data and free it afterwards.

I thought it might make sense to pre-allocate it, but I can change that.

Doesn't this need  the __locks annotation? Generally I think it is easier to inline these two functions, there is no particular need to have such wrappers.

Right, I forgot about the annotations.

The idea of those was that it's easier to reason about locking. Anyone wanting
to access __qcuefi outside of these three functions (set, acquire, release),
must go through qcuefi_acquire(), which ensures exclusive access. So mistakes
are a lot more obvious.

one page?

The driver I've reverse-engineered this from allocates the DMA memory for
interaction with qseecom in multiples of PAGE_SIZE. I'm following that in this
driver, as I don't know whether that's a hard requirement (at least on some
platforms) or not. So I pre-allocate one page (1x PAGE_SIZE bytes) here. But as
you've mentioned above, it might be better to allocate this on-demand in each
call.
