[PATCH v3 00/15] firmware: qcom: Add OP-TEE PAS service support

by Sumit Garg

From: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg(a)oss.qualcomm.com> Qcom platforms has the legacy of using non-standard SCM calls splintered over the various kernel drivers. These SCM calls aren't compliant with the standard SMC calling conventions which is a prerequisite to enable migration to the FF-A specifications from Arm. OP-TEE as an alternative trusted OS to Qualcomm TEE (QTEE) can't support these non-standard SCM calls. And even for newer architectures using S-EL2 with Hafnium support, QTEE won't be able to support SCM calls either with FF-A requirements coming in. And with both OP-TEE and QTEE drivers well integrated in the TEE subsystem, it makes further sense to reuse the TEE bus client drivers infrastructure. The added benefit of TEE bus infrastructure is that there is support for discoverable/enumerable services. With that client drivers don't have to manually invoke a special SCM call to know the service status. So enable the generic Peripheral Authentication Service (PAS) provided by the firmware. It acts as the common layer with different TZ backends plugged in whether it's an SCM implementation or a proper TEE bus based PAS service implementation. The TEE PAS service ABI is designed to be extensible with additional API as PTA_QCOM_PAS_CAPABILITIES. This allows to accommodate any future extensions of the PAS service needed while still maintaining backwards compatibility. Currently OP-TEE support is being added to provide the backend PAS service implementation which can be found as part of this PR [1]. This implementation has been tested on Kodiak/RB3Gen2 board with lemans EVK board being the next target. In addition to that WIN/IPQ targets planning to use OP-TEE will use this service too. Surely the backwards compatibility is maintained and tested for SCM backend. Patch summary: - Patch #1: adds Kodiak EL2 overlay since boot stack with TF-A/OP-TEE only allow UEFI and Linux to boot in EL2. - Patch #2: adds generic PAS service. - Patch #3: migrates SCM backend to generic PAS service. - Patch #4: adds TEE/OP-TEE backend for generic PAS service. - Patch #5-#13: migrates all client drivers to generic PAS service. - Patch #14: drops legacy PAS SCM exported APIs. The patch-set is based on v7.0-rc5 tag and can be found in git tree here [2]. Merge strategy: It is expected due to APIs dependency, the entire patch-set to go via the Qcom tree. All other subsystem maintainers, it will be great if I can get acks for the corresponding subsystem patches.

[PATCH v22 0/7] Introduction of a remoteproc tee to load signed firmware

by Arnaud Pouliquen

Main updates from version V21[1]: -------------------------------- This version removes the st,stm32mp1-m4-tee compatibility string, which no longer seems to be accepted by the Devicetree maintainers. As a consequence, the stm32-rproc-tee driver, introduced to simplify the code, is removed. The STM32 integration reuses the existing stm32_rproc driver implemented in V19. The devicetree is now structured as follows: firmware { tee_rproc: optee-rproc { compatible = "80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08"; }; }; m4: m4@10000000 { compatible = "st,stm32mp1-m4"; reg = <0x10000000 0x40000>, <0x30000000 0x40000>, <0x38000000 0x10000>; mboxes = <&ipcc 0>, <&ipcc 1>, <&ipcc 2>, <&ipcc 3>; mbox-names = "vq0", "vq1", "shutdown", "detach"; memory-region = <&vdev0vring0>, <&m_ipc_shm>, <&mcuram2>, <&vdev0vring1>, <&vdev0buffer>, <&retram>; interrupt-parent = <&exti>; interrupts = <68 1>; st,rproc-tee = <&tee_rproc 0>; status = "okay"; }; As a consequence, this version: - reintroduce v19 commits for stm32_rproc.c driver , adding the support of the st,rproc-tee binding. - drops the dedicated remoteproc-tee.yaml and st,stm32-rproc-tee.yaml bindings from the series. - extends st,stm32-rproc.yaml with st,rproc-tee to describe the link to the TEE remoteproc backend. - removes the dedicated stm32_rproc_tee.c driver and reuses stm32_rproc.c for both native and TEE-controlled cases. - keeps remoteproc_tee.c aligned with the phandle-based lookup introduced in v21 and uses a device_link between the STM32 remoteproc instance and the TEE backend device. More details are available in each patch commit message. Main updates from version V20[3]: -------------------------------- To address Rob’s concern on v20concerning resource declaration under the tee node, the device tree is now structured as follows,replacing the child-parent hierarchy with a phandle: firmware { tee_rproc: optee-rproc { compatible = "80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08"; }; }; m4: m4@0 { compatible = "st,stm32mp1-m4-tee"; reg = <0 0>; mboxes = <&ipcc 0>, <&ipcc 1>, <&ipcc 2>; mbox-names = "vq0", "vq1", "shutdown"; memory-region = <&vdev0vring0>, <&m_ipc_shm>, <&mcuram2>, <&vdev0vring1>, <&vdev0buffer>, <&retram>; interrupt-parent = <&exti>; interrupts = <68 1>; rproc-tee-phandle = <&tee_rproc 0>; st,auto-boot; wakeup-source; status = "okay"; }; As a consequence, this version: - Updates the device tree and bindings to: - Change the compatible property from "rproc-service-80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08" to "80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08". - Use the rproc-tee-phandle to avoid the parent-child hierarchy. - Updates stm32_rproc_tee.c and remoteproc_tee.c to adapt to the new bindings. - Updates remoteproc_tee.c to compute the device tree compatible string from the TEE UUID. Main updates from version V19[4]: -------------------------------- The devicetree is now structured as follows: firmware { optee { compatible = "linaro,optee-tz"; method = "smc"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; rproc-service@0 { compatible = "rproc-service-80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08"; reg = <0>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; status = "okay"; m4: m4@0 { compatible = "st,stm32mp15-m4-tee"; reg = <0>; mboxes = <&ipcc 0>, <&ipcc 1>, <&ipcc 2>; mbox-names = "vq0", "vq1", "shutdown"; memory-region = <&vdev0vring0>, <&m_ipc_shm>, <&mcuram2>, <&vdev0vring1>, <&vdev0buffer>, <&retram>; interrupt-parent = <&exti>; interrupts = <68 1>; status = "okay"; }; }; }; }; As a consequence, this version: - Introduces a new stm32_rproc_tee.c remoteproc driver. Instead of further complicating the existing stm32_rproc.c driver, a dedicated TEE-based driver is added. Both drivers are intended to also support the STM32MP2x Cortex-M33 remote processor in a next step. - Reworks the bindings: - Drop the st,stm32-rproc.yaml updates that were introduced in previous revisions. - Add remoteproc-tee.yaml for the "rproc-service-80a4c275-0a47-4905-8285-1486a9771a08" compatible. - Add st,stm32-rproc-tee.yaml for the "st,stm32mp15-m4-tee" compatible. - Reworks the probing sequence: The m4@0 device is now probed by the remoteproc-tee driver, which itself is instantiated by the TEE (OP-TEE) bus. More details are available in each patch commit message.

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). https://resources.linaro.org/en/resource/6c5bGvZwUAjX56fvxthxds Arnaud Pouliquen (7): dt-bindings: firmware: Add TEE remoteproc service binding dt-bindings: remoteproc: st,stm32-rproc: add st,rproc-tee remoteproc: core: Introduce rproc_pa_to_va helper remoteproc: Introduce optional release_fw operation remoteproc: Add TEE support remoteproc: stm32: Create sub-functions to request shutdown and release remoteproc: stm32: Add support of an OP-TEE TA to load the firmware .../bindings/remoteproc/remoteproc-tee.yaml | 36 + .../bindings/remoteproc/st,stm32-rproc.yaml | 55 +- drivers/remoteproc/Kconfig | 10 + drivers/remoteproc/Makefile | 1 + drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c | 56 ++ drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_internal.h | 6 + drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_tee.c | 789 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/remoteproc/stm32_rproc.c | 249 ++++-- include/linux/remoteproc.h | 6 + include/linux/remoteproc_tee.h | 98 +++ 10 files changed, 1220 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/remoteproc/remoteproc-tee.yaml create mode 100644 drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_tee.c create mode 100644 include/linux/remoteproc_tee.h base-commit: 591cd656a1bf5ea94a222af5ef2ee76df029c1d2 -- 2.43.0

PKCS#11 TA needs userland supplicant?

by Jan Kiszka

Hi all, to avoid that I'm debugging further this error I get during boot with CONFIG_RPMB=y in the kernel and CFG_IN_TREE_EARLY_TAS=pkcs11/fd02c9da...: [ 0.359372] mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 QEMU!! 4.00 MiB [ 0.361779] mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 QEMU!! 4.00 MiB [ 0.363761] mmcblk0rpmb: mmc0:0001 QEMU!! 2.00 MiB, chardev (248:0) D/TC:? 0 tee_ta_init_session_with_context:569 Re-open trusted service 7011a688-ddde-4053-a5a9-7b3c4ddf13b8 D/TC:? 0 legacy_rpmb_init:1143 Trying legacy RPMB init E/TC:? 0 get_rpc_alloc_res:646 RPC allocation failed.

I thought it only needs the supplicant for RPMB, thus should be fine with the in-kernel routing (which is active), but maybe that is not true. All is fine - minus that error message - if I later on start tee- supplicant and use the PKCS#11 TA then. Thanks, Jan -- Siemens AG, Foundational Technologies Linux Expert Center
