[PATCH v5 0/7] Introduction of a remoteproc tee to load signed firmware

From: Arnaud Pouliquen
Date: Tue May 21 2024 - 04:11:21 EST


Main updates from the previous version [1]:
------------------------------------------

1) use proc->table_ptr as unique reference to point to the resource table
--> update remoteproc_core.c to implement management of the resource table
base on rproc->rproc->tee_interface new field:
- on start get the resource table address from TEE remoteproc instead
of finding it in firmware (ops choice to confirm)
- on stop unmap the resource table before updating the
proc->table_ptr pointer.

2) retrieve the TEE rproc Identifier from the device tree instead of
hardcoding it
--> Add a new "st,proc-id" property in device tree.

More details on updates are listed in commits messages

base-commit: c8d8f841e95bcc07ac8c5621fc171a24f1fd5cdb

Description of the feature:
--------------------------
This series proposes the implementation of a remoteproc tee driver to
communicate with a TEE trusted application responsible for authenticating
and loading the remoteproc firmware image in an Arm secure context.

1) Principle:

The remoteproc tee driver provides services to communicate with the OP-TEE
trusted application running on the Trusted Execution Context (TEE).
The trusted application in TEE manages the remote processor lifecycle:

- authenticating and loading firmware images,
- isolating and securing the remote processor memories,
- supporting multi-firmware (e.g., TF-M + Zephyr on a Cortex-M33),
- managing the start and stop of the firmware by the TEE.

2) Format of the signed image:

Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/src/remoteproc_core.c#L18-L57

3) OP-TEE trusted application API:

Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/include/ta_remoteproc.h

4) OP-TEE signature script

Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/scripts/sign_rproc_fw.py

Example of usage:
sign_rproc_fw.py --in <fw1.elf> --in <fw2.elf> --out <signed_fw.sign> --key ${OP-TEE_PATH}/keys/default.pem


5) Impact on User space Application

No sysfs impact.the user only needs to provide the signed firmware image
instead of the ELF image.


For more information about the implementation, a presentation is available here
(note that the format of the signed image has evolved between the presentation
and the integration in OP-TEE).
