Arnd Bergmann bad19e0d04 This pull request enables dynamic shared memory support in the TEE
subsystem as a whole and in OP-TEE in particular.
 
 Global Platform TEE specification [1] allows client applications
 to register part of own memory as a shared buffer between
 application and TEE. This allows fast zero-copy communication between
 TEE and REE. But current implementation of TEE in Linux does not support
 this feature.
 
 Also, current implementation of OP-TEE transport uses fixed size
 pre-shared buffer for all communications with OP-TEE OS. This is okay
 in the most use cases. But this prevents use of OP-TEE in virtualized
 environments, because:
  a) We can't share the same buffer between different virtual machines
  b) Physically contiguous memory as seen by VM can be non-contiguous
     in reality (and as seen by OP-TEE OS) due to second stage of
     MMU translation.
  c) Size of this pre-shared buffer is limited.
 
 So, first part of this pull request adds generic register/unregister
 interface to tee subsystem. The second part adds necessary features into
 OP-TEE driver, so it can use not only static pre-shared buffer, but
 whole RAM to communicate with OP-TEE OS.
 
 This change is backwards compatible allowing older secure world or
 user space to work with newer kernels and vice versa.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
