=============
TEE subsystem
=============
This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
A TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) is a trusted OS running in some
secure environment, for example, TrustZone on ARM CPUs, or a separate
secure co-processor etc. A TEE driver handles the details needed to
communicate with the TEE.
This subsystem deals with:
- Registration of TEE drivers
- Managing shared memory between Linux and the TEE
- Providing a generic API to the TEE
The TEE interface
=================
include/uapi/linux/tee.h defines the generic interface to a TEE.
User space (the client) connects to the driver by opening /dev/tee[0-9]* or
/dev/teepriv[0-9]*.
- TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC allocates shared memory and returns a file descriptor
which user space can mmap. When user space doesn't need the file
descriptor any more, it should be closed. When shared memory isn't needed
any longer it should be unmapped with munmap() to allow the reuse of
memory.
- TEE_IOC_VERSION lets user space know which TEE this driver handles and
its capabilities.
- TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION opens a new session to a Trusted Application.
- TEE_IOC_INVOKE invokes a function in a Trusted Application.
- TEE_IOC_CANCEL may cancel an ongoing TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION or TEE_IOC_INVOKE.
- TEE_IOC_CLOSE_SESSION closes a session to a Trusted Application.
There are two classes of clients, normal clients and supplicants. The latter is
a helper process for the TEE to access resources in Linux, for example file
system access. A normal client opens /dev/tee[0-9]* and a supplicant opens
/dev/teepriv[0-9].
Much of the communication between clients and the TEE is opaque to the
driver. The main job for the driver is to receive requests from the
clients, forward them to the TEE and send back the results. In the case of
supplicants the communication goes in the other direction, the TEE sends
requests to the supplicant which then sends back the result.
OP-TEE driver
=============
The OP-TEE driver handles OP-TEE [1] based TEEs. Currently it is only the ARM
TrustZone based OP-TEE solution that is supported.
Lowest level of communication with OP-TEE builds on ARM SMC Calling
Convention (SMCCC) [2], which is the foundation for OP-TEE's SMC interface
[3] used internally by the driver. Stacked on top of that is OP-TEE Message
Protocol [4].
OP-TEE SMC interface provides the basic functions required by SMCCC and some
additional functions specific for OP-TEE. The most interesting functions are:
- OPTEE_SMC_FUNCID_CALLS_UID (part of SMCCC) returns the version information
which is then returned by TEE_IOC_VERSION
- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_GET_OS_UUID returns the particular OP-TEE implementation, used
to tell, for instance, a TrustZone OP-TEE apart from an OP-TEE running on a
separate secure co-processor.
- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG drives the OP-TEE message protocol
- OPTEE_SMC_GET_SHM_CONFIG lets the driver and OP-TEE agree on which memory
range to used for shared memory between Linux and OP-TEE.
The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] is implemented on top of the generic
TEE API.
Picture of the relationship between the different components in the
OP-TEE architecture::
User space Kernel Secure world
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
+--------+ +-------------+
| Client | | Trusted |
+--------+ | Application |

+-------+----------------+----+-------+----+-----------+-------------+
| Generic TEE API | | OP-TEE MSG |
| IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | SMCCC (OPTEE_SMC_CALL_*) |
+-----------------------------+ +------------------------------+
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) are requests from secure world to kernel driver
or tee-supplicant. An RPC is identified by a special range of SMCCC return
values from OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG. RPC messages which are intended for the
kernel are handled by the kernel driver. Other RPC messages will be forwarded to
tee-supplicant without further involvement of the driver, except switching
shared memory buffer representation.
AMD-TEE driver
==============
The AMD-TEE driver handles the communication with AMD's TEE environment. The
TEE environment is provided by AMD Secure Processor.
The AMD Secure Processor (formerly called Platform Security Processor or PSP)
is a dedicated processor that features ARM TrustZone technology, along with a
software-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed to enable
third-party Trusted Applications. This feature is currently enabled only for
APUs.
The following picture shows a high level overview of AMD-TEE::
|
x86 |

User space (Kernel space) | AMD Secure Processor (PSP)
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\/ | | API |
+---------+ +-----------+---------+ +----------+
| TEE | | TEE | AMD-TEE | | AMD-TEE |
| Client | | subsystem | driver | | Trusted |
| API | | | | | OS |
+---------+-----------+----+------+---------+---------+----------+
| Generic TEE API | | ASP | Mailbox |
| IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | driver | Register Protocol |
+--------------------------+ +---------+--------------------+
At the lowest level (in x86), the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) driver uses the
CPU to PSP mailbox regsister to submit commands to the PSP. The format of the
command buffer is opaque to the ASP driver. It's role is to submit commands to
the secure processor and return results to AMD-TEE driver. The interface
between AMD-TEE driver and AMD Secure Processor driver can be found in [6].
The AMD-TEE driver packages the command buffer payload for processing in TEE.
The command buffer format for the different TEE commands can be found in [7].
The TEE commands supported by AMD-TEE Trusted OS are:
* TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA - loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into
TEE environment.
* TEE_CMD_ID_UNLOAD_TA - unloads TA binary from TEE environment.
* TEE_CMD_ID_OPEN_SESSION - opens a session with a loaded TA.
* TEE_CMD_ID_CLOSE_SESSION - closes session with loaded TA
* TEE_CMD_ID_INVOKE_CMD - invokes a command with loaded TA
* TEE_CMD_ID_MAP_SHARED_MEM - maps shared memory
* TEE_CMD_ID_UNMAP_SHARED_MEM - unmaps shared memory
AMD-TEE Trusted OS is the firmware running on AMD Secure Processor.
The AMD-TEE driver registers itself with TEE subsystem and implements the
following driver function callbacks:
* get_version - returns the driver implementation id and capability.
* open - sets up the driver context data structure.
* release - frees up driver resources.
* open_session - loads the TA binary and opens session with loaded TA.
* close_session - closes session with loaded TA and unloads it.
* invoke_func - invokes a command with loaded TA.
cancel_req driver callback is not supported by AMD-TEE.
The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] can be used by the user space (client) to
talk to AMD's TEE. AMD's TEE provides a secure environment for loading, opening
a session, invoking commands and clossing session with TA.
