As seen with optee_ftpm, which uses ms-tpm-20-ref [1], a TPM may write
the current time epoch to its NV storage every 4 seconds if there are
commands sent to it. The 60 seconds periodic update of the entropy pool
that the hwrng kthread does triggers this, causing about 4 writes per
requests. Makes 2 millions per year for a 24/7 device, and that is a lot
for its backing NV storage.
It is therefore better to make the user intentionally enable this,
providing a chance to read the warning.

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
qcomtee_object_user_init() is a variadic function and when the function
return because there's no dispatch callback in QCOMTEE_OBJECT_TYPE_CB
case, there's no va_end to cleanup "ap" object initialized by va_start
and that can cause undefined behavior. So make sure to use va_end before
returning the error code when there's no dispatch callback.
This is reported by Coverity Scan as "Missing varargs init or cleanup".

2.54.0
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-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.

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
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

2.51.0
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

- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250327-qcom-tee-using-tee-ss-without-mem-obj-v3…
Changes in v3:
- Export shm_bridge create/delete APIs.
- Enable support for QTEE memory objects.
- Update the memory management code to use the TEE subsystem for all
allocations using the pool.
- Move all driver states into the driver's main service struct.
- Add more documentations.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-qcom-tee-using-tee-ss-without-mem-obj-v2…
Changes in v2:
- Clean up commit messages and comments.
- Use better names such as ubuf instead of membuf or QCOMTEE prefix
instead of QCOM_TEE, or names that are more consistent with other
TEE-backend drivers such as qcomtee_context_data instead of
qcom_tee_context.
- Drop the DTS patch and instantiate the device from the scm driver.
- Use a single structure for all driver's internal states.
- Drop srcu primitives and use the existing mutex for synchronization
between the supplicant and QTEE.
- Directly use tee_context to track the lifetime of qcomtee_context_data.
- Add close_context() to be called when the user closes the tee_context.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241202-qcom-tee-using-tee-ss-without-mem-obj-v1…
Changes in v1:
- It is a complete rewrite to utilize the TEE subsystem.

Amirreza Zarrabi <amirreza.zarrabi(a)oss.qualcomm.com>
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,
