Commit Message

Etienne Carriere Feb. 15, 2023, 11:04 a.m. UTC
  Adds TEE system invocation context provisioning for a Linux driver
to provision execution contexts for invocation of system service
hosted in TEE. OP-TEE SMC ABI implements such invocation context
provisioning.

This feature is needed when a TEE invocation cannot afford to wait for
a free TEE thread when all TEE threads context are used and suspended
as these may be suspended waiting for a system service, as an SCMI clock
or voltage regulator, to be enabled. An example is when OP-TEE invokes
a Linux OS remote service (RPC) to access an eMMC RPMB partition and
the eMMC device is supplied by an OP-TEE SCMI regulator.

No change since v2

Change since v1
- Addressed comment on Linux client to claim reservation on TEE context.
  This brings 2 new operations from client to TEE to request and release
  system thread contexts: 2 new tee_drv.h API functions, 2 new ops
  functions in struct tee_driver_ops. The OP-TEE implement shall implement
  2 new fastcall SMC funcIDs.
- Fixed typos in commit message.

Just for the record, this is being parallely discussed here [1]. So we
need to handle all the OP-TEE SMC call cases as per Jens suggestion
here [1].
