This patch series introduces a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
driver for Qualcomm TEE (QTEE). QTEE enables Trusted Applications (TAs)
and services to run securely. It uses an object-based interface, where
each service is an object with sets of operations. Clients can invoke
these operations on objects, which can generate results, including other
objects. For example, an object can load a TA and return another object
that represents the loaded TA, allowing access to its services.
Kernel and userspace services are also available to QTEE through a
similar approach. QTEE makes callback requests that are converted into
object invocations. These objects can represent services within the
kernel or userspace process.
Note: This patch series focuses on QTEE objects and userspace services.
Linux already provides a TEE subsystem, which is described in [1]. The
tee subsystem provides a generic ioctl interface, TEE_IOC_INVOKE, which
can be used by userspace to talk to a TEE backend driver. We extend the
Linux TEE subsystem to understand object parameters and an ioctl call so
client can invoke objects in QTEE:
- TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF_*
- TEE_IOC_OBJECT_INVOKE
The existing ioctl calls TEE_IOC_SUPPL_RECV and TEE_IOC_SUPPL_SEND are
used for invoking services in the userspace process by QTEE.
The TEE backend driver uses the QTEE Transport Message to communicate
with QTEE. Interactions through the object INVOKE interface are
translated into QTEE messages. Likewise, object invocations from QTEE
for userspace objects are converted into SEND/RECV ioctl calls to
supplicants.
The details of QTEE Transport Message to communicate with QTEE is
available in [PATCH 12/12] Documentation: tee: Add Qualcomm TEE driver.
You can run basic tests with following steps:
git clone https://github.com/quic/quic-teec.git
cd quic-teec
mkdir build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=CMakeToolchain.txt -DBUILD_UNITTEST=ON
https://github.com/quic/quic-teec/blob/main/README.md lists dependencies
needed to build the above.
This series has been tested for basic QTEE object invocations and
callback requests, including loading a TA and requesting services form
the TA.

Hello Bjorn and Mathieu,
I am resending this series after waiting for over two months for Bjorn's
feedback, despite a prior reminder.
Please could you coordinate between yourselves to determine who will continue
reviewing this series? It would be greatly appreciated if the review could
proceed within a more reasonable timeframe.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Arnaud
Main updates from version V15[1]:
- Removed the rproc_ops:load_fw() operation introduced in the previous version.
- Returned to managing the remoteproc firmware loading in rproc_tee_parse_fw to
load and authenticate the firmware before getting the resource table.
- Added spinlock and dev_link mechanisms in remoteproc TEE to better manage
bind/unbind.
More details are available in each patch commit message.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-remoteproc/20241128084219.2159197-7-arnaud.po…
Tested-on: commit 0ff41df1cb26 ("Linux 6.15")
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…
3) OP-TEE trusted application API:
Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/include/ta_rem…
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).

Hi Jens, Sumit,
The following change has recently been merged: tee: optee: Fix supplicant wait loop
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/70b0d6b0a199c5a3ee6c72f5e61681ed6f…).
This fix addresses the issue where the supplicant may terminate before the client due to
the shutdown sequence or a crash. However, it introduces a potential new issue - now that
the client is killable, what happens if it terminates before the supplicant?
During cleanup, the client would remove/free the request, while the request would still
be available in the request idr for the supplicant. Although I have not been able to
reproduce it, this could theoretically result in a kernel page fault.
To address this, there are a few options:
(1) Use rcu and access request under a read lock in optee_supp_recv and optee_supp_send.
(2) Reuse supp->mutex, ensuring that most of these functions run within the lock,
even though it may not always be necessary.
Could you confirm whether this behavior was intentional? If not, I am happy to
prepare a patch. Additionally, please let me know whether you prefer solution
(1) or (2), or if you have any other suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Amir

[ Upstream commit 39bb67edcc582b3b386a9ec983da67fa8a10ec03 ]
The current code around TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE() is a bit wrong on
32-bit kernels: Multiplying a user-provided 32-bit value with the
size of a structure can wrap around on such platforms.
Fix it by using saturating arithmetic for the size calculation.
This has no security consequences because, in all users of
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(), the subsequent kcalloc() implicitly checks
for wrapping.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my extensive analysis: ## Vulnerability Analysis The commit fixes a real
integer overflow vulnerability in the TEE (Trusted Execution
Environment) subsystem on 32-bit kernels. The issue occurs in the
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE()` macro defined as: ```c #define
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(x) (sizeof(struct tee_param) * (x)) ``` Where
`struct tee_ioctl_param` is 32 bytes (4 × 8-byte fields). On 32-bit
systems, when a user provides a large `num_params` value, the
multiplication `32 * num_params` can wrap around, potentially bypassing
buffer length validation checks. ## Specific Vulnerable Code Locations
The vulnerable pattern appears in 4 locations in
`drivers/tee/tee_core.c`: 1. **Line 490**: `tee_ioctl_open_session()` -
`sizeof(arg) + TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 2.
**Line 568**: `tee_ioctl_invoke()` - `sizeof(arg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 3. **Line 702**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_recv()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) != buf.buf_len` 4. **Line 801**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_send()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) > buf.buf_len` ## Attack Scenario On
32-bit systems, if `num_params = 0x08000000` (134,217,728), then: -
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(0x08000000) = 32 * 0x08000000 = 0x100000000` -
This wraps to `0x00000000` on 32-bit systems - The size validation
`sizeof(arg) + 0 != buf.buf_len` could be bypassed - Subsequent
`kcalloc()` would allocate a huge buffer, but the size calculations
would be wrong ## Why This Should Be Backported **Matches "YES" backport
criteria from similar commits:** 1. **Security Fix**: Like Similar
Commit #2 (rtl8188eu security hole) and #4 (gup_benchmark integer
overflow), this prevents user-controlled integer overflow that could
lead to memory corruption. 2. **Small, Contained Change**: The fix uses
the kernel's standard `size_add()` and `size_mul()` helpers from
`linux/overflow.h` - exactly like Similar Commit #3 which was noted as
using `size_add()` for similar protection. 3. **Critical Subsystem**:
TEE handles sensitive cryptographic operations and trusted applications,
making security fixes here particularly important. 4. **Low Regression
Risk**: The fix only adds overflow protection without changing
functionality. The `size_mul()` and `size_add()` functions are well-
tested kernel overflow helpers. 5. **User-Controllable Input**: The
`num_params` value comes directly from user space through ioctl calls,
making this a user-triggerable condition. 6. **Clear Security Impact**:
While the commit states "no security consequences because kcalloc()
implicitly checks for wrapping," this is defense-in-depth - the size
validation should not rely on downstream allocation checks. The fix
pattern exactly matches Similar Commit #4 (mm/gup_benchmark.c) which was
backported for preventing integer overflow in size calculations with
user-provided values. This commit follows the same security principle
and uses the same overflow-safe arithmetic helpers that the kernel has
standardized on for these scenarios.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my extensive analysis: ## Vulnerability Analysis The commit fixes a real
integer overflow vulnerability in the TEE (Trusted Execution
Environment) subsystem on 32-bit kernels. The issue occurs in the
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE()` macro defined as: ```c #define
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(x) (sizeof(struct tee_param) * (x)) ``` Where
`struct tee_ioctl_param` is 32 bytes (4 × 8-byte fields). On 32-bit
systems, when a user provides a large `num_params` value, the
multiplication `32 * num_params` can wrap around, potentially bypassing
buffer length validation checks. ## Specific Vulnerable Code Locations
The vulnerable pattern appears in 4 locations in
`drivers/tee/tee_core.c`: 1. **Line 490**: `tee_ioctl_open_session()` -
`sizeof(arg) + TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 2.
**Line 568**: `tee_ioctl_invoke()` - `sizeof(arg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 3. **Line 702**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_recv()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) != buf.buf_len` 4. **Line 801**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_send()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) > buf.buf_len` ## Attack Scenario On
32-bit systems, if `num_params = 0x08000000` (134,217,728), then: -
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(0x08000000) = 32 * 0x08000000 = 0x100000000` -
This wraps to `0x00000000` on 32-bit systems - The size validation
`sizeof(arg) + 0 != buf.buf_len` could be bypassed - Subsequent
`kcalloc()` would allocate a huge buffer, but the size calculations
would be wrong ## Why This Should Be Backported **Matches "YES" backport
criteria from similar commits:** 1. **Security Fix**: Like Similar
Commit #2 (rtl8188eu security hole) and #4 (gup_benchmark integer
overflow), this prevents user-controlled integer overflow that could
lead to memory corruption. 2. **Small, Contained Change**: The fix uses
the kernel's standard `size_add()` and `size_mul()` helpers from
`linux/overflow.h` - exactly like Similar Commit #3 which was noted as
using `size_add()` for similar protection. 3. **Critical Subsystem**:
TEE handles sensitive cryptographic operations and trusted applications,
making security fixes here particularly important. 4. **Low Regression
Risk**: The fix only adds overflow protection without changing
functionality. The `size_mul()` and `size_add()` functions are well-
tested kernel overflow helpers. 5. **User-Controllable Input**: The
`num_params` value comes directly from user space through ioctl calls,
making this a user-triggerable condition. 6. **Clear Security Impact**:
While the commit states "no security consequences because kcalloc()
implicitly checks for wrapping," this is defense-in-depth - the size
validation should not rely on downstream allocation checks. The fix
pattern exactly matches Similar Commit #4 (mm/gup_benchmark.c) which was
backported for preventing integer overflow in size calculations with
user-provided values. This commit follows the same security principle
and uses the same overflow-safe arithmetic helpers that the kernel has
standardized on for these scenarios.
