[v7,00/11] TEE subsystem for protected dma-buf allocations

Message

Hi,

This patch set allocates the protected DMA-bufs from a DMA-heap
instantiated from the TEE subsystem.

The TEE subsystem handles the DMA-buf allocations since it is the TEE
(OP-TEE, AMD-TEE, TS-TEE, or perhaps a future QTEE) which sets up the
protection for the memory used for the DMA-bufs.

The DMA-heap uses a protected memory pool provided by the backend TEE
driver, allowing it to choose how to allocate the protected physical
memory.

The allocated DMA-bufs must be imported with a new TEE_IOC_SHM_REGISTER_FD
before they can be passed as arguments when requesting services from the
secure world.

Three use-cases (Secure Video Playback, Trusted UI, and Secure Video
Recording) has been identified so far to serve as examples of what can be
expected. The use-cases has predefined DMA-heap names,
"protected,secure-video", "protected,trusted-ui", and
"protected,secure-video-record". The backend driver registers protected
memory pools for the use-cases it supports.

Each use-case has it's own protected memory pool since different use-cases
requires isolation from different parts of the system. A protected memory
pool can be based on a static carveout instantiated while probing the TEE
backend driver, or dynamically allocated from CMA and made protected as
needed by the TEE.

This can be tested on a RockPi 4B+ with the following steps:
repo init -u https://github.com/jenswi-linaro/manifest.git -m rockpi4.xml \
        -b prototype/sdp-v7
repo sync -j8
cd build
make toolchains -j$(nproc)
make all -j$(nproc)
# Copy ../out/rockpi4.img to an SD card and boot the RockPi from that
# Connect a monitor to the RockPi
# login and at the prompt:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
        aesenc key=1f9423681beb9a79215820f6bda73d0f \
                iv=e9aa8e834d8d70b7e0d254ff670dd718 serialize-iv=true ! \
        aesdec key=1f9423681beb9a79215820f6bda73d0f ! \
        kmssink

The aesdec module has been hacked to use an OP-TEE TA to decrypt the stream
into protected DMA-bufs which are consumed by the kmssink.

The primitive QEMU tests from previous patch set can be tested on RockPi
in the same way with:
xtest --sdp-basic

The primitive test are tested on QEMU with the following steps:
repo init -u https://github.com/jenswi-linaro/manifest.git -m qemu_v8.xml \
        -b prototype/sdp-v7
repo sync -j8
cd build
make toolchains -j$(nproc)
make SPMC_AT_EL=1 all -j$(nproc)
make SPMC_AT_EL=1 run-only
# login and at the prompt:
xtest --sdp-basic

The SPMC_AT_EL=1 parameter configures the build with FF-A and an SPMC at
S-EL1 inside OP-TEE. The parameter can be changed into SPMC_AT_EL=n to test
without FF-A using the original SMC ABI instead. Please remember to do
%rm -rf ../trusted-firmware-a/build/qemu
for TF-A to be rebuilt properly using the new configuration.

https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/building/prerequisites.html
list dependencies needed to build the above.

The tests are pretty basic, mostly checking that a Trusted Application in
the secure world can access and manipulate the memory. There are also some
negative tests for out of bounds buffers etc.

Thanks,
Jens

Changes since V6:
* Restricted memory is now known as protected memory since to use the same
  term as https://docs.vulkan.org/guide/latest/protected.html. Update all
  patches to consistently use protected memory.
* In "tee: implement protected DMA-heap" add the hidden config option
  TEE_DMABUF_HEAP to tell if the DMABUF_HEAPS functions are available
  for the TEE subsystem
* Adding "tee: refactor params_from_user()", broken out from the patch
  "tee: new ioctl to a register tee_shm from a dmabuf file descriptor"
* For "tee: new ioctl to a register tee_shm from a dmabuf file descriptor":
  - Update commit message to mention protected memory
  - Remove and open code tee_shm_get_parent_shm() in param_from_user_memref()
* In "tee: add tee_shm_alloc_cma_phys_mem" add the hidden config option
  TEE_CMA to tell if the CMA functions are available for the TEE subsystem
* For "tee: tee_device_alloc(): copy dma_mask from parent device" and
  "optee: pass parent device to tee_device_alloc", added
  Reviewed-by: Sumit Garg <[e-mail]>

Changes since V5:
* Removing "tee: add restricted memory allocation" and
  "tee: add TEE_IOC_RSTMEM_FD_INFO"
* Adding "tee: implement restricted DMA-heap",
  "tee: new ioctl to a register tee_shm from a dmabuf file descriptor",
  "tee: add tee_shm_alloc_cma_phys_mem()",
  "optee: pass parent device to tee_device_alloc()", and
  "tee: tee_device_alloc(): copy dma_mask from parent device"
* The two TEE driver OPs "rstmem_alloc()" and "rstmem_free()" are replaced
  with a struct tee_rstmem_pool abstraction.
* Replaced the the TEE_IOC_RSTMEM_ALLOC user space API with the DMA-heap API

Changes since V4:
* Adding the patch "tee: add TEE_IOC_RSTMEM_FD_INFO" needed by the
  GStreamer demo
* Removing the dummy CPU access and mmap functions from the dma_buf_ops
* Fixing a compile error in "optee: FF-A: dynamic restricted memory allocation"
  reported by kernel test robot <[e-mail]>

Changes since V3:
* Make the use_case and flags field in struct tee_shm u32's instead of
  u16's
* Add more description for TEE_IOC_RSTMEM_ALLOC in the header file
* Import namespace DMA_BUF in module tee, reported by [e-mail]
* Added a note in the commit message for "optee: account for direction
  while converting parameters" why it's needed
* Factor out dynamic restricted memory allocation from
  "optee: support restricted memory allocation" into two new commits
  "optee: FF-A: dynamic restricted memory allocation" and
  "optee: smc abi: dynamic restricted memory allocation"
* Guard CMA usage with #ifdef CONFIG_CMA, effectively disabling dynamic
  restricted memory allocate if CMA isn't configured

Changes since the V2 RFC:
* Based on v6.12
* Replaced the flags for SVP and Trusted UID memory with a u32 field with
  unique id for each use case
* Added dynamic allocation of restricted memory pools
* Added OP-TEE ABI both with and without FF-A for dynamic restricted memory
* Added support for FF-A with FFA_LEND

Changes since the V1 RFC:
* Based on v6.11
* Complete rewrite, replacing the restricted heap with TEE_IOC_RSTMEM_ALLOC

Changes since Olivier's post [2]:
* Based on Yong Wu's post [1] where much of dma-buf handling is done in
  the generic restricted heap
* Simplifications and cleanup
* New commit message for "dma-buf: heaps: add Linaro restricted dmabuf heap
  support"
* Replaced the word "secure" with "restricted" where applicable
