I'm not sure I understand what you mean. This function is a building
block for the TEE driver to supply whatever interface is needed for user
space. For a Global Platform like TEE it will typically have support for
TEEC_OpenSession(), TEEC_InvokeCommand(), TEEC_RequestCancellation() and
TEEC_CloseSession(). But how that's done is depending on how the
interface towards the TEE (in secure world) looks like. From what I've
heard so far those interfaces diverges a lot so we've compromised with
this function.

You're right :-), is -EINVAL OK?

To handle the combination of kernel as arm64 and user space arm32?
Thanks, I'll fix.

You mean I should update various functions in dma-buf.c? Dma-buf allows
having some functions as NULL but not these we had to provide here, I
don't know if there was a good reason for that or not.

It could be any of the available CPUs in the system that will be
accessing this, both in secure and normal world. When we're doing a
secure video path use case some of the buffers will not be mapped in
normal world, but normal world will still keep track of the physical
addresses.

Each buffer allocation corresponds to TEEC_AllocateSharedMemory() in Global
Platforms TEE Client API which we implement in user space. The number of
needed buffer depends on how the user space application is designed.

OK, I'll drop the _cma suffix.

It depends on the design of the Trusted Application in secure world and
the client in user space. A few KiB could be the typical allocation
size, with a maximum at perhaps 512 KiB (for instance when loading a
very large Trusted Application).

OK, I'll drop this.

I agree that we can drop least one of the _version fields probably both,
but something is needed for user space to be able to know which TEE (in
secure world) it's communicating with. The uuid will let the client know
how how to format the commands passed to TEE_IOC_CMD below.

I've touched on this above, this function the essential when
communicating with the driver and secure world. Different TEEs (running
in some secure environment) provides different interfaces. By providing
an opaque channel we don't have to force something on the TEE. The
problem is moved to the user space library which is used when talking to
the TEE. The assumption here is that the interface provided the TEE is
stable or something that the specific TEE driver can handle with a glue
layer.

When the client opens /dev/teeX it will check that if it's a known TEE,
or it will close the device and try next and fail when there's no more
to try.

We're are using mmap, but on the file descriptor returned here. If we
had only one file descriptor it would be hard for the subsystem or the
driver to tell if user space is allowed to map this particular memory
range.

We need to be able to export kernel buffers to user space as some secure
worlds has restrictions on which memory ranges can be used for shared
memory. The other way around (exporting user memory to secure world) is
an optimization (which we haven't implemented) to be able to avoid
double buffering when implementing TEEC_RegisterSharedMemory() in Global
Platforms TEE Client API in user space.

This is primary to support secure video path. The file descriptor would
come from some driver handling hardware for decoding or rendering from
one secure buffer to another.

I'll drop this until we have code that need it.

OK, makes sense. This is currently not used by OP-TEE. As was suggested
elsewhere I'll drop the parts of the API which aren't currently needed
by OP-TEE.
