[RFC PATCH 0/2] TEE driver for AMD APUs

From: Thomas, Rijo-john
Date: Wed Oct 23 2019 - 07:31:43 EST


This patch series introduces Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) driver
for AMD APU enabled systems. The TEE is a secure area of a processor which
ensures that sensitive data is stored, processed and protected in an
isolated and trusted environment. The AMD Secure Processor is a dedicated
processor which provides TEE to enable HW platform security. It offers
protection against software attacks generated in Rich Operating
System (Rich OS) such as Linux running on x86. The AMD-TEE Trusted OS
running on AMD Secure Processor allows loading and execution of security
sensitive applications called Trusted Applications (TAs). An example of
a TA would be a DRM (Digital Rights Management) TA written to enforce
content protection.

Linux already provides a tee subsystem, which is described in [1]. The tee
subsystem provides a generic TEE ioctl interface which can be used by user
space to talk to a TEE driver. AMD-TEE driver registers with tee subsystem
and implements tee function callbacks in an AMD platform specific manner.

The following TEE commands are recognized by AMD-TEE Trusted OS:
1. TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA : Load Trusted Application (TA) binary into TEE
environment
2. TEE_CMD_ID_UNLOAD_TA : Unload TA binary from TEE environment
3. TEE_CMD_ID_OPEN_SESSION : Open session with loaded TA
4. TEE_CMD_ID_CLOSE_SESSION : Close session with loaded TA
5. TEE_CMD_ID_INVOKE_CMD : Invoke a command with loaded TA
6. TEE_CMD_ID_MAP_SHARED_MEM : Map shared memory
7. TEE_CMD_ID_UNMAP_SHARED_MEM : Unmap shared memory

Each command has its own payload format. The AMD-TEE driver creates a
command buffer payload for submission to AMD-TEE Trusted OS.

This patch series has a dependency on another patch set titled - Add TEE
interface support to AMD Secure Processor driver.
