[PATCH v4 0/5] arm_ffa, KVM: Fix FF-A emad offset calculations

by Mostafa Saleh

Hi all, This series fixes the Endpoint Memory Access Descriptor (EMAD) offset calculations and adds the necessary bounds checks for both the core FF-A driver and the pKVM hypervisor. Prior to FF-A version 1.1, the memory region header didn't specify an explicit offset for the EMADs, leading to the assumption that they immediately follow the header. However, from v1.1 onwards, the specification dictates using the ep_mem_offset` field to determine the start of the memory access array. The patches in this series address this by: 1. Updating the core `arm_ffa` firmware driver to correctly calculate the descriptor offset using `ep_mem_offset` rather than defaulting to `sizeof(struct ffa_mem_region)`. It also introduces bounds checking against `max_fragsize`. 2. Enhancing the pKVM hypervisor validation logic to no longer strictly enforce that the descriptor strictly follows the header, aligning it with the driver behavior and the FF-A specification, while also ensuring the offset falls within the mailbox buffer bounds. While addressing these bugs, Sashiko uncovered other issues that were fixed in the same series. Changelog ######### v3 -> v4: - Address review comments and fix Sashiko bugs v2 -> v3: - Fixed typo in nvhe/ffa.c (missing sizeof) v1 -> v2: - For pKVM, removed the strict placement enforcement for `ep_mem_offset` as it is not compliant with the spec, and avoids making assumptions about the driver's memory layout.

[PATCH v6 00/16] 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. Note that kernel PAS service support while running in EL2 is at parity among OP-TEE vs QTEE. Especially the media (venus/iris) support depends on proper IOMMU support being worked out on the PAS client end. 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-#14: migrates all client drivers to generic PAS service. - Patch #15: drops legacy PAS SCM exported APIs. The patch-set is based on v7.1-rc4 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.

dma_heap and protected memory

by Amirreza Zarrabi

Hi Jens, Recently protected heap support has been added for the TEE subsystem. This allows dma-heaps to be managed by the TEE subsystem itself. For standard, non-protected heaps such as the system heap or CMA heap, I am trying to understand the expected usage model. One possible workaround appears to be to mmap the dma-buf fd in userspace, then register the resulting userspace VA with the TEE subsystem to obtain a TEE shared-memory object, for example: fd = dma_heap_alloc(...); va = mmap(fd, ...); shm_fd = tee_shm_register(va, size); tee_invoke(shm_fd); close(shm_fd); munmap(va, size); close(fd); This seems reasonable when the lifetime of the registered shared memory is limited to a single invocation or callback. However, I am concerned about cases (multiple exits in qcomtee) where the TEE side needs to retain access to the memory after the ioctl/invocation returns. In that case, registering only the userspace VA does not appear to keep the underlying dma-buf object alive. The TEE core pins the pages, but it does not hold a dma-buf reference or attachment. If userspace later closes the dma-buf fd and unmaps the VA, the dma-buf exporter may consider the buffer released, while the TEE side may still have the memory registered. Is there a recommended way to use standard heaps, such as the system or CMA dma-buf heaps, when the sharing lifetime is longer than a single TEE call? Would it make sense to extend tee_shm_register_fd() so that it can handle dma-buf fds from regular dma-heaps as well, not only dma-bufs managed by the TEE subsystem? That would allow the TEE core or backend driver to keep the dma-buf reference for the lifetime of the TEE shared-memory object. Best regards, Amir

[REPORT] tee: tee_ioctl_supp_recv() missing tee_shm_put() cleanup for memref params

by Qihang

Hi, I would like to report a likely shared-memory reference leak in drivers/tee/tee_core.c, in tee_ioctl_supp_recv(). The issue is that tee_ioctl_supp_recv() calls params_from_user(), which acquires references for MEMREF-type parameters via tee_shm_get_from_id(), but the cleanup path only frees the params array and does not drop the acquired shm references. Relevant code in tee_ioctl_supp_recv(): rc = params_from_user(ctx, params, num_params, uarg->params); if (rc) goto out; rc = ctx->teedev->desc->ops->supp_recv(ctx, &func, &num_params, params); if (rc) goto out; ... out: kfree(params); return rc; By contrast, other callers of params_from_user() in tee_core.c do release MEMREF references on cleanup, for example: - tee_ioctl_open_session() - tee_ioctl_invoke() - tee_ioctl_object_invoke() The helper comment in param_from_user_memref() also states that the caller is responsible for calling tee_shm_put() on all resolved pointers. Reachability / trigger paths: 1. qcomtee backend: qcomtee registers .supp_recv = qcomtee_supp_recv on a non-privileged tee device path. qcomtee_supp_recv() rejects any non-meta parameter after the first one: for (i = 1; i < *num_params; i++) if (params[i].attr) return -EINVAL; This allows a path where params_from_user() has already acquired a shm reference for a MEMREF parameter, then qcomtee_supp_recv() returns an error, and tee_ioctl_supp_recv() exits without tee_shm_put(). 2. Partial failure before backend callback: if params_from_user() successfully resolves an earlier MEMREF parameter and then fails on a later parameter, tee_ioctl_supp_recv() still goes to the same cleanup path without dropping already acquired shm refs. This means the issue is not just a backend-specific quirk: the core ioctl cleanup path itself is missing tee_shm_put() handling. Impact: - leaked shared-memory references - shared-memory objects may remain pinned and never reach final release - repeated triggering can cause resource exhaustion / DoS This does not appear to be a UAF, since refcount_t saturation prevents wraparound. The impact looks limited to resource leakage and availability. If useful, I can also prepare a patch. Thanks, Qihang

KLMBG4GEUF

by İsa Coşkun

Hello, I am working on embedded automotive systems repair and investigating behavior of Samsung eMMC (KLMBG4GEUF) in systems that appear to use OP-TEE for secure storage. Real scenario: - Two identical devices (same hardware) - One working, one not booting - Full eMMC dump taken from working device: - USER - BOOT1 / BOOT2 - EXT_CSD - RPMB (reported readable, but content appears empty or not usable) Tests: - Writing full dump to another device → no boot - Swapping eMMC between boards → both fail - Writing only USER → no change From observations: - RPMB appears non-clonable - Secure storage likely bound to hardware - Boot seems dependent on this binding Questions: 1. In OP-TEE, is RPMB always tied to a hardware unique key (HUK)? 2. Is it expected that RPMB content cannot be reused across identical devices? 3. Does OP-TEE enforce secure storage binding in a way that prevents cloning? 4. In case of damaged eMMC, is there any supported way to reinitialize or recover secure storage? I am not trying to bypass security, but to understand the architectural limitation in real repair scenarios. Any clarification would be highly appreciated. Best regards

[PATCH v4 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. Note that kernel PAS service support while running in EL2 is at parity among OP-TEE vs QTEE. Especially the media (venus/iris) support depends on proper IOMMU support being worked out on the PAS client end. 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 v7.1-rc1 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.
