Add a separate documentation directory for TEE subsystem since it is a standalone subsystem which already offers devices consumed by multiple different subsystem drivers. Split overall TEE subsystem documentation modularly where: - The userspace API has been moved to Documentation/userspace-api/tee.rst. - The driver API has been moved to Documentation/driver-api/tee.rst. - The first module covers the overview of TEE subsystem. - The further modules are dedicated to different TEE implementations like: - OP-TEE - AMD-TEE - and so on for future TEE implementation support.

AMD-TEE (AMD's Trusted Execution Environment)
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

At the lowest level (in x86), the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) driver uses the
|
|
CPU to PSP mailbox register 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 [1].
|
|
|
|
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 [2].
|
|
|
|
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 [3] 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 closing session with TA.
