[PATCH v2 0/4] introduce tee-based EFI Runtime Variable Service

From: Masahisa Kojima
Date: Mon Feb 20 2023 - 00:18:03 EST


This series introduces the tee based EFI Runtime Variable Service.

This version moves StMM related code from drivers/tee/optee to
drivers/firmware/efi/stmm, since StMM code does not contain
OP-TEE specific code and can be used with other TEE implementation.

The eMMC device is typically owned by the non-secure world(linux in
this case). There is an existing solution utilizing eMMC RPMB partition
for EFI Variables, it is implemented by interacting with
OP-TEE, StandaloneMM(as EFI Variable Service Pseudo TA), eMMC driver
and tee-supplicant. The last piece is the tee-based variable access
driver to interact with OP-TEE and StandaloneMM.

Changelog:
rfc v1 -> v2:
- split patch into three patches, one for drivers/tee,
one for include/linux/efi.h, and one for the driver/firmware/efi/stmm
- context/session management into probe() and remove() same as other tee
client driver
- StMM variable driver is moved from driver/tee/optee to driver/firmware/efi
- use "tee" prefix instead of "optee" in driver/firmware/efi/stmm/tee_stmm_efi.c,
this file does not contain op-tee specific code, abstracted by tee layer and
StMM variable driver will work on other tee implementation.
- PTA_STMM_CMD_COMMUNICATE -> PTA_STMM_CMD_COMMUNICATE
- implement query_variable_store() but currently not used
- no use of TEEC_SUCCESS, it is defined in driver/tee/optee/optee_private.h.
Other tee client drivers use 0 instead of using TEEC_SUCCESS
- remove TEEC_ERROR_EXCESS_DATA status, it is refered just to output
error message

Masahisa Kojima (4):
efi: expose efivar generic ops register function
efi: Add EFI_ACCESS_DENIED status code
tee: expose tee efivar register function
efi: Add tee-based EFI variable driver
