+OP-TEE Device Tree Bindings
+
+OP-TEE is a piece of software using hardware features to provide a Trusted
+Execution Environment. The security can be provided with ARM TrustZone, but
+also by virtualization or a separate chip.
+
+We're using "linaro" as the first part of the compatible property for
+the reference implementation maintained by Linaro.
+
+* OP-TEE based on ARM TrustZone required properties:
+
+- compatible : should contain "linaro,optee-tz"
+
+- method : The method of calling the OP-TEE Trusted OS. Permitted
+ values are:
+
+ "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
+ in drivers/tee/optee/optee_smc.h
+
+ "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
+ in drivers/tee/optee/optee_smc.h
+
+
+
+Example:
+ firmware {
+ optee {
+ compatible = "linaro,optee-tz";
+ method = "smc";
+ };
+ };

+
+linux,usable-memory-range
+-------------------------
+
+This property (arm64 only) holds a base address and size, describing a
+limited region in which memory may be considered available for use by
+the kernel. Memory outside of this range is not available for use.
+
+This property describes a limitation: memory within this range is only
+valid when also described through another mechanism that the kernel
+would otherwise use to determine available memory (e.g. memory nodes
+or the EFI memory map). Valid memory may be sparse within the range.
+e.g.

+ chosen {
+ linux,usable-memory-range = <0x9 0xf0000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
+ };

+The main usage is for crash dump kernel to identify its own usable
+memory and exclude, at its boot time, any other memory areas that are
+part of the panicked kernel's memory.
+
+While this property does not represent a real hardware, the address
+and the size are expressed in #address-cells and #size-cells,
+respectively, of the root node.

+----------------
+
+This property (currently used only on arm64) holds the memory range,
+the address and the size, of the elf core header which mainly describes
+the panicked kernel's memory layout as PT_LOAD segments of elf format.

+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
+ the 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.
+

+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.
