[PATCH v8 0/5] introduce tee-based EFI Runtime Variable Service

[Masahisa Kojima]

This series introduces the tee based EFI Runtime Variable Service.

The eMMC device is typically owned by the non-secure world(linux in
this case). There is an existing solution utilizing eMMC RPMB partition
for EFI Variables, it is implemented by interacting with
OP-TEE, StandaloneMM(as EFI Variable Service Pseudo TA), eMMC driver
and tee-supplicant. The last piece is the tee-based variable access
driver to interact with OP-TEE and StandaloneMM.

Changelog:
v7 -> v8
Only patch #3 "efi: Add tee-based EFI variable driver" is updated.
- fix typos
- refactor error handling, direct return if applicable
- use devm_add_action_or_reset() for closing of tee context/session
- remove obvious comment

v6 -> v7
Patch #1-#4 are not updated.
Patch #5 is added into this series, original patch is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230609094532.562934-1-ilias.apalodimas@xxxxxxxxxx/

There are two issues in the v6 series and v7 series addresses those.

1) efivar ops is not restored when the tee-supplicant daemon terminates.
 -> As the following patch says, user must remove the device before
    terminating tee-supplicant daemon.
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230728134832.326467-1-sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx/

2) cause panic when someone remounts the efivarfs as RW even if
SetVariable is not supported
 -> The fifth patch addresses this issue.
   "[PATCH v7 5/5] efivarfs: force RO when remounting if SetVariable is
    not supported"

v5 -> v6
- new patch #4 is added in this series, #1-#3 patches are unchanged.
  automatically update super block flag when the efivarops support
  SetVariable runtime service, so that user does not need to manually
  remount the efivarfs as RW.

v4 -> v5
- rebase to efi-next based on v6.4-rc1
- set generic_ops.query_variable_info, it works as expected as follows.
$ df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
efivarfs         16K  1.3K   15K   8% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

v3 -> v4:
- replace the reference from EDK2 to PI Specification
- remove EDK2 source code reference comments
- prepare nonblocking variant of set_variable, it just returns
  EFI_UNSUPPORTED
- remove redundant buffer size check
- argument name change in mm_communicate
- function interface changes in setup_mm_hdr to remove (void **) cast

v2 -> v3:
- add CONFIG_EFI dependency to TEE_STMM_EFI
- add missing return code check for tee_client_invoke_func()
- directly call efivars_register/unregister from tee_stmm_efi.c

rfc v1 -> v2:
- split patch into three patches, one for drivers/tee,
  one for include/linux/efi.h, and one for the driver/firmware/efi/stmm
- context/session management into probe() and remove() same as other tee
client driver
- StMM variable driver is moved from driver/tee/optee to driver/firmware/efi
- use "tee" prefix instead of "optee" in driver/firmware/efi/stmm/tee_stmm_efi.c,
  this file does not contain op-tee specific code, abstracted by tee layer and
  StMM variable driver will work on other tee implementation.
- PTA_STMM_CMD_COMMUNICATE -> PTA_STMM_CMD_COMMUNICATE
- implement query_variable_store() but currently not used
- no use of TEEC_SUCCESS, it is defined in driver/tee/optee/optee_private.h.
  Other tee client drivers use 0 instead of using TEEC_SUCCESS
- remove TEEC_ERROR_EXCESS_DATA status, it is referred just to output
error message
