Pull SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Lots of platform specific updates for Qualcomm SoCs, including a new
  TEE subsystem driver for the Qualcomm QTEE firmware interface.

  Added support for the Apple A11 SoC in drivers that are shared with
  the M1/M2 series, among more updates for those.

  Smaller platform specific driver updates for Renesas, ASpeed,
  Broadcom, Nvidia, Mediatek, Amlogic, TI, Allwinner, and Freescale
  SoCs.

  Driver updates in the cache controller, memory controller and reset
  controller subsystems.

  SCMI firmware updates to add more features and improve robustness.
  This includes support for having multiple SCMI providers in a single
  system.

  TEE subsystem support for protected DMA-bufs, allowing hardware to
  access memory areas that managed by the kernel but remain inaccessible
  from the CPU in EL1/EL0"

Add Qualcomm TEE driver (QTEE)

This introduces a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) driver for
Qualcomm TEE (QTEE).

QTEE enables Trusted Applications (TAs) and services to run securely. It
uses an object-based interface, where each service is an object with
sets of operations.

Kernel and userspace services are also available to QTEE through a
similar approach. QTEE makes callback requests that are converted into
object invocations. These objects can represent services within the
kernel or userspace process.

We extend the TEE subsystem to understand object parameters and an ioctl
call so client can invoke objects in QTEE:
- TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF_*
- TEE_IOC_OBJECT_INVOKE

The existing ioctl calls TEE_IOC_SUPPL_RECV and TEE_IOC_SUPPL_SEND are
used for invoking services in the userspace process by QTEE.

The TEE backend driver uses the QTEE Transport Message to communicate
with QTEE. Interactions through the object INVOKE interface are
translated into QTEE messages. Likewise, object invocations from QTEE
for userspace objects are converted into SEND/RECV ioctl calls to
supplicants.

tee: fix register_shm_helper()

2025-09-22T06:47:00+00:00

In register_shm_helper(), fix incorrect error handling for a call to
iov_iter_extract_pages(). A case is missing for when
iov_iter_extract_pages() only got some pages and return a number larger
than 0, but not the requested amount.

This fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference following a bad input from
ioctl(TEE_IOC_SHM_REGISTER) where parts of the buffer isn't mapped.

tee: qcom: enable TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC ioctl

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

Enable userspace to allocate shared memory with QTEE. Since
QTEE handles shared memory as object, a wrapper is implemented
to represent tee_shm as an object. The shared memory identifier,
obtained through TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC, is transferred to the driver using
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF_INPUT/OUTPUT.

tee: qcom: add primordial object

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

After booting, the kernel provides a static object known as the
primordial object. This object is utilized by QTEE for native
kernel services such as yield or privileged operations.

tee: add Qualcomm TEE driver

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

Introduce qcomtee_object, which represents an object in both QTEE and
the kernel. QTEE clients can invoke an instance of qcomtee_object to
access QTEE services. If this invocation produces a new object in QTEE,
an instance of qcomtee_object will be returned.

Similarly, QTEE can request services from by issuing a callback
request, which invokes an instance of qcomtee_object.

Implement initial support for exporting qcomtee_object to userspace
and QTEE, enabling the invocation of objects hosted in QTEE and userspace
through the TEE subsystem.

tee: add TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

The TEE subsystem allows session-based access to trusted services,
requiring a session to be established to receive a service. This
is not suitable for an environment that represents services as objects.
An object supports various operations that a client can invoke,
potentially generating a result or a new object that can be invoked
independently of the original object.

Add TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF_INPUT/OUTPUT/INOUT to represent an
object. Objects may reside in either TEE or userspace. To invoke an
object in TEE, introduce a new ioctl. Use the existing SUPPL_RECV and
SUPPL_SEND to invoke an object in userspace.

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

For drivers that can transfer data to the TEE without using shared
memory from client, it is necessary to receive the user address
directly, bypassing any processing by the TEE subsystem. Introduce
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_UBUF_INPUT/OUTPUT/INOUT to represent
userspace buffers.

tee: add close_context to TEE driver operation

2025-09-15T15:34:06+00:00

The tee_context can be used to manage TEE user resources, including
those allocated by the driver for the TEE on behalf of the user.
The release() callback is invoked only when all resources, such as
tee_shm, are released and there are no references to the tee_context.

When a user closes the device file, the driver should notify the
TEE to release any resources it may hold and drop the context
references. To achieve this, a close_context() callback is
introduced to initiate resource release in the TEE driver when
the device file is closed.

Relocate teedev_ctx_get, teedev_ctx_put, tee_device_get, and
tee_device_get functions to tee_core.h to make them accessible
outside the TEE subsystem.
