Notification keys are checked against an inclusive maximum, but
optee_notif_init() passes that maximum to bitmap_zalloc() as the number of
bits. The bitmap is therefore one bit short. When the maximum key is a
multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, accessing that key reads or writes beyond the
allocated bitmap. Word rounding masks the problem.
Allocate max_key + 1 bits so that the highest valid key has storage.

This series adds an RPMI backend to the OP-TEE driver for RISC-V.
It builds on the separately posted RPMI TEE transport series [1],
which provides service discovery, synchronous calls, memory parcels
and asynchronous signals.
This revision is effectively a full rewrite of the original RFC.
The generic RPMI transport has been separated from the OP-TEE backend,
and the backend has been reworked around the service bus and a new
OP-TEE control ABI.
Unlike v1, the OP-TEE backend no longer manages SBI MPXY mailbox
channels or implements RPMI TEE service-group operations directly.
It binds to the OP-TEE service UUID on the RPMI TEE bus and uses the
transport's public operations. No additional OP-TEE device-tree node
is required.
The backend reuses the common OP-TEE session, shared-memory, argument
cache, call queue and RPC infrastructure. Shared memory is represented
by RPMI parcel IDs and nonces. Yielding calls pass command and RPC
buffer ranges within a parcel and resume suspended execution using
an opaque token returned by OP-TEE.
The OP-TEE control ABI uses fixed-width little-endian messages carried
in TEE_CALL payloads rather than reproducing FF-A's register-based
message layout. Asynchronous notifications use an allocated TEE-to-REE
signal as a bottom-half doorbell, while ordinary logical notifications
continue through the common RPC path.
Matching OP-TEE OS support for this ABI has not yet been implemented.
This remains an RFC for review of the backend integration and the
Linux-to-OP-TEE protocol.

On Qualcomm SoC based platforms, UEFI stores EFI variables within the
Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) located within either the UFS,
eMMC or SPI-NOR storage. The RPMB key which is one-time programmed into
the storage controller to allow authentication of the RPMB frames is
generated by and only available to the Qualcomm Trusted Execution
Environment (QTEE). Thus, only QTEE can prepare the RPMB frames which
will be accepted by the storage controller.
The legacy QSEECOM protocol used for communicating with the QTEE is
deprecated and replaced with the use-case agnostic SMCInvoke protocol
starting with the Qualcomm SM8x50 series. On platforms where the QSEECOM
protocol still works (the QSEECOM driver probes) the driver does not
support a listener interface with QTEE to enable writing of non-volatile
EFI variables (via listener requests to Linux from QTEE) to the RPMB
for UFS and eMMC storage. (Qualcomm Compute platforms with SPI-NOR storage
are an exception to this and work with QSEECOM, see the NOTE below)
Therefore on such platforms, a TEE client driver (which communicates with
QTEE via the SMCInvoke protocol implemented by the QCOMTEE driver
registered with the TEE subsystem) must be used to update such EFI variables
through the RPMB service hosted in the QTEE supplicant user-space daemon
[1] which forwards RPMB packets to the RPMB device.
This series introduces such a uefisecapp TEE client driver for the
aforementioned Qualcomm platforms which installs efi-var operations _if_
the QCOMTEE driver registers support for an object-IPC based uefisecapp
service on the TEE bus during its probe. Only new QTEE firmware versions
available at [2] provide access to the uefisecapp service via the SMCInvoke
protocol.
Thus, QCOMTEE now maintains a static list of always-available object-IPC
based secure services exposed by QTEE. These services are implemented either
within the QTEE kernel or within a pre-loaded Trusted Application (TA)
usually loaded by the bootloader. The uefisecapp TA is an example of a
preloaded TA loaded by UEFI. A static list is required since QTEE does not
yet expose any way to dynamically query and enumerate the services exposed
by it.
To facilitate object-IPC interactions from the kernel-space, this
series also introduces a tee_client_object_invoke_func() to allow
invocation of TEE objects similar to the existing tee_client_invoke_func()
API exported by the TEE subsystem which allows invocation of TEE functions.
Some suporting changes are also introduced to track and handle operations
for TEE contexts opened from the kernel-space in the back-end QCOM-TEE
driver.
Finally and as previously mentioned, access to the object-IPC based uefisecapp
service is restricted on older QTEE firmware versions. A new QTEE firmware
release must be picked up from QArtifactory [2] for all upstream supported
Qualcomm SoCs to enable access to uefisecapp service via the TEE client
driver.
This patch series has been validated on Kodiak RB3Gen2 platform with UFS
storage by attempting to read/write EFI variables via the efivar tool [3]
after mounting the efivarfs filesystem. See [4] for an example.
NOTE: Since Compute platforms do not have a firmware running on their SPI-NOR
storage controller which must be programmed with a RPMB key, QTEE has a
SPI-NOR driver which holds the key, and so the QSEECOM driver can be used
for updating EFI variables on these platforms because QTEE never makes a
listener request to Linux (QTEE doesn't need the Linux SPI-NOR driver).
Such platforms are outlined in the following static list [5].
Merge Strategy:
This patch series could either be taken from the OP-TEE tree or the
QCOM soc tree. I would prefer it to be picked by the OP-TEE tree since
all except the uefisecapp TEE client driver patch in this series make
changes relevant to the TEE subsystem. It would be great if the QCOM soc
tree maintainers can Ack the uefisecapp driver patch.

- Updated the cover letter and commit messages to highlight the following:
1. Only QTEE has the ability to prepare RPMB frames since it generates and

This RFC series adds the RISC-V RPMI TEE service group transport [1],
which provides RISC-V systems a mechanism for Linux to communicate
with TEE endpoints. Linux and a TEE act as endpoints of the RPMI TEE
service group, while the RPMI framework in machine-mode firmware
mediates communication between them over an SBI MPXY [2] mailbox
channel.
The series is layered as follows:
- Two mailbox patches add a direct synchronous send mode
(mbox_send_message_sync()) and its implementation for RPMI MPXY
channels, needed because RPMI TEE requests must complete
synchronously in the calling context.
- The RPMI TEE bus registers one device per discovered TEE endpoint
and service UUID pair, following the device-per-service model,
so individual service drivers can bind independently.
- The RPMI TEE transport core binds to the mailbox channel and
validates the RPMI and TEE service-group versions before any
discovery or service traffic is attempted.
- Discovery uses PROBE_SYSTEM, PROBE_DOMAIN and PROBE_ENDPOINT to
obtain the local endpoint identity and enumerate physical TEE
endpoints and their services.
- Memory parcel operations (lend, share, reclaim) let a consumer
driver share memory with a TEE endpoint. Linux creates a parcel and
the parcel identifier is then used by the consumer's own protocol to
refer to that memory.
- Signal buses let a consumer driver exchange asynchronous
notifications with its TEE endpoint in both directions.
This series only establishes the transport, bus, and discovery layer.
An OP-TEE backend using these interfaces has been posted as a separate
series [3].
Feedback on the overall architecture, the bus/device model, and the
memory-parcel and signal-bus abstractions is especially welcome at
this stage in this RFC series.

Hi Kuldeep,
A data point from retail hardware, in case it is useful for this
series: on an ASUS Zenbook A14 UX3407NA (Glymur, X2E-88-100, BIOS
UX3407NA.315) the TPM TA is not reachable as QTEE service 81, but it
is present as the QSEECOM application "qcom.tz.tpm".
With the qcomtee driver on a 7.3-rc3 based kernel, QTEE reports
version 5.2.0, and service discovery finds neither 81 (TPM) nor 413
(UEFI secure app). On the same boot, qseecom (version 0x1402000) works
and backs efivars through "qcom.tz.uefisecapp" (app id 7). An app-id
lookup for "qcom.tz.tpm" returns app id 1; a made-up name returns
-ENOENT.
The Windows driver for this machine agrees: QcTrEE8480.inf configures
the TPM service with AppName="qcom.tz.tpm", SecureApp=1, LoadApp=0
(preloaded by firmware). The EFI configuration table carries the
TPMEventLog and TPMFinalLog entries, so the firmware TPM is active.
Through that app, using a QSEECOM transport (based on Xilin Wu's
out-of-tree SC8280XP driver: QUERY_INFO_2 / SEND_COMMAND with a
CRB-style control area, here at 0x81d10000), /dev/tpm0 works: TPM 2.0,
manufacturer QCOM, vendor string "xCG fTPM", firmware 0x40000, real
PCR 0-7 values, GetRandom, ECC and RSA-2048 primaries, sign and
verify, and a sealed object that persists across reboots.
So, as far as I can tell, retail Glymur laptops may ship firmware on
which this driver finds no TPM, while the same TA is available over
QSEECOM.
The same applies to the prerequisite series that moves uefisecapp to
QCOMTEE [1]: on this firmware service 413 is absent and EFI variables
work only through the QSEECOM uefisecapp. If the QSEECOM path were
dropped for Glymur, efivars would stop working on this machine, so it
would be good to keep it as a fallback when the QTEE service is not
found.
Two questions:
- Is service 81 expected to appear on retail firmware through an
update, or is it specific to the CRD firmware?
- Would you consider a QSEECOM-based path for such firmware? I am
happy to test this series, or any other service UID you would like
checked, on this machine, and to share the transport code.

Qualcomm platforms with a discrete TPM (dTPM) talked to it directly over
a non-secure SPI channel from the kernel. Arm's Base Boot Security
Requirements (BBSR) v1.4 require that access to go through TrustZone
instead, so on affected Qualcomm platforms the TPM 2.0 instance is now
fronted by a Trusted Application (TA) running inside Qualcomm's Trusted
Execution Environment (QTEE), which talks to the dTPM (or implements an
fTPM) on the kernel's behalf.
This series adds a kernel driver for that TA, built on the QCOMTEE
object-IPC transport (drivers/tee/qcomtee/) already used to reach other
QTEE services.
This patch series functionally depends on below(patch 5/6 specifically)
for qtee service discovery.

This series is a follow-up to the discussion that has started here [1].
When memory is lent to the Secure world via FF-A, CPU speculative
accesses from NS to the lent pages can still occur as long as it retains
a cacheable mapping to it.
Ideally, lent memory would be "no-map" but that would mean giving up
MiBs of useful memory, so let's try to do better with the help of a CMA
pool.
On arm64, modifying the direct map at runtime is generally restricted
because the linear map defaults to block mapping and splitting blocks at
runtime may trigger fatal page fault, unless the CPU implements BBML3
or the entire direct map was mapped at page granularity from boot.
Forcing last-level mappings system-wide incurs a severe penalty we want
to avoid. Instead, this series introduces targeted last-level mappings
for designated memory regions, along with the "arm,ffa-lend-pool" CMA
driver to manage unmapping and remapping on lend/reclaim transitions:
1. memblock:
- Introduce MEMBLOCK_PTEMAP to force PTE mappings only for a specific region.
2. set_memory infrastructure:
- Introduce can_set_direct_map_range() to check if a specific address
range is mapped with last-level entries and can be modified safely.
- Introduce __set_direct_map_*() variants that bypass redundant checks
when the caller has already validated the range.
3. "arm,ffa-lend-pool" driver
- Introduce the "arm,ffa-lend-pool" CMA reserved-memory driver, which
unmaps pages prior to lending (ffa_prepare_lend()) and restores them
when reclaimed (ffa_lend_reclaimed()).
4. Optee support
- Hook OP-TEE dynamic protected memory pools to "arm,ffa-lend-pool" for
both SMC (via DT memory-region phandle) and FF-A (via
ffa_lend_pool_attach()) transports.

2.55.0.1082.g2b9226bbc0-goog
On Qualcomm SoC based platforms, UEFI stores EFI variables within the
Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) located within either the UFS,
eMMC or SPI-NOR storage. The RPMB key which is one-time programmed into
the storage controller to allow authentication of the RPMB frames is
generated by and only available to the Qualcomm Trusted Execution
Environment (QTEE). Thus, only QTEE can prepare the RPMB frames which
will be accepted by the storage controller.
The legacy QSEECOM protocol used for communicating with the QTEE is
deprecated and replaced with the use-case agnostic SMCInvoke protocol
starting with the Qualcomm SM8x50 series. On platforms where the QSEECOM
protocol still works (the QSEECOM driver probes) the driver does not
support a listener interface with QTEE to enable writing of non-volatile
EFI variables (via listener requests to Linux from QTEE) to the RPMB
for UFS and eMMC storage. (Qualcomm Compute platforms with SPI-NOR storage
are an exception to this and work with QSEECOM, see the NOTE below)
Therefore on such platforms, a TEE client driver (which communicates with
QTEE via the SMCInvoke protocol implemented by the QCOMTEE driver
registered with the TEE subsystem) must be used to update such EFI variables
through the RPMB service hosted in the QTEE supplicant user-space daemon
[1] which forwards RPMB packets to the RPMB device.
This series introduces such a uefisecapp TEE client driver for the
aforementioned Qualcomm platforms which installs efi-var operations _if_
the QCOMTEE driver registers support for an object-IPC based uefisecapp
service on the TEE bus during its probe. Only new QTEE firmware versions
available at [2] provide access to the uefisecapp service via the SMCInvoke
protocol.
Thus, QCOMTEE now maintains a static list of always-available object-IPC
based secure services exposed by QTEE. These services are implemented either
within the QTEE kernel or within a pre-loaded Trusted Application (TA)
usually loaded by the bootloader. The uefisecapp TA is an example of a
preloaded TA loaded by UEFI. A static list is required since QTEE does not
yet expose any way to dynamically query and enumerate the services exposed
by it.
To facilitate object-IPC interactions from the kernel-space, this
series also introduces a tee_client_object_invoke_func() to allow
invocation of TEE objects similar to the existing tee_client_invoke_func()
API exported by the TEE subsystem which allows invocation of TEE functions.
Some suporting changes are also introduced to track and handle operations
for TEE contexts opened from the kernel-space in the back-end QCOM-TEE
driver.
Finally and as previously mentioned, access to the object-IPC based uefisecapp
service is restricted on older QTEE firmware versions. A new QTEE firmware
release must be picked up from QArtifactory [2] for all upstream supported
Qualcomm SoCs to enable access to uefisecapp service via the TEE client
driver.
This patch series has been validated on Kodiak RB3Gen2 platform with UFS
storage by attempting to read/write EFI variables via the efivar tool [3]
after mounting the efivarfs filesystem. See [4] for an example.
NOTE: Since Compute platforms do not have a firmware running on their SPI-NOR
storage controller which must be programmed with a RPMB key, QTEE has a
SPI-NOR driver which holds the key, and so the QSEECOM driver can be used
for updating EFI variables on these platforms because QTEE never makes a
listener request to Linux (QTEE doesn't need the Linux SPI-NOR driver).
Such platforms are outlined in the following static list [5].
Merge Strategy:
This patch series could either be taken from the OP-TEE tree or the
QCOM soc tree. I would prefer it to be picked by the OP-TEE tree since
all except the uefisecapp TEE client driver patch in this series make
changes relevant to the TEE subsystem. It would be great if the QCOM soc
tree maintainers can Ack the uefisecapp driver patch.

Changes in v3:
- Updated the cover letter and commit messages to highlight the following:
1. Only QTEE has the ability to prepare RPMB frames since it generates and
holds the RPMB key.
2. The QSEECOM protocol is deprecated on new platforms and so this series
migrates the uefisecapp to SMCInvoke which is a use-case agnostic, transport
focused and easier to maintain protocol.
- Use single if statement to update both flags and addr/uaddr.
- Remove redundant use of new error variable in qcomtee_get_qtee_feature_list().
- Minor fixes such as concise error prints and use of better error codes.
- Fix a double free in qtee_enumerate_service().
- Re-org the qcomtee_enumerate_services() function to re-use the same oic and
client_env object.
- Remove depends on !QCOM_QSEECOM_UEFISECAPP from Kconfig since both drivers
can co-exist even on platforms that support both QSEECOM and SMCInvoke protocols.
- Update the Kconfig description to better help the user understand when to enable
the TEE based uefisecapp driver.
- Removed qcom_tee_uefisecapp.h file and inline the header in qcom_tee_uefisecapp.c
- Rebased patch series onto the latest linux next tag: next-20260930.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260722-qcom_uefisecapp_migrate_qcomtee-v2-0-b8a…
Changes in v2:
- Drop using MSB of the object_id to distingush kernel and user object invoke contexts.
