It's worth noting that memreserves allow the kernel to map the memory with cacheable attributes, which can result in coherency problems if it's expected to access any buffer with non-cacheable attributes. > > > * Probes OP-TEE version using SMCs > > > * Accepts requests on privileged and unprivileged device > > > * Uses OPTEE message protocol version 2 > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Jens Wiklander > > > --- > > > Documentation/devicetree/bindings/optee/optee.txt | 17 + > > > > I'm concerned that there's no documentation regarding the interface > > exposed to userspace, for neither rationale nor usage. > OK, I'll add something. > > > > > I'm also very concerned that the interface exposed to userspace is > > hideously low-level.

That assumes that the TEE has to know about any kernel that might run. It also implies that a kernel needs to know what each TEE thinks the kernel will be mapping memory as, so it can work around whatever decision has been made by the TEE. So as it stands I think that's a broken design. The attributes you need should be strictly specified. It's perfectly valid for that strict specification to be the same attributes the kernel uses now, but the spec can't change later. Otherwise mismatched attributes will get in the way on some platform, and it's going to be close to impossible to fix things up. > > > +/** > > > + * struct opteem_param_memref - memory reference > > > + * @buf_ptr: Address of the buffer > > > + * @size: Size of the buffer > > > + * @shm_ref: Shared memory reference only used by normal world > > > + * > > > + * Secure and normal world communicates pointers as physical address > > > + * instead of the virtual address.

If this is the header for userspace, the comments should be useful to userspace. Surely you can have a different structure kernel-side if you need to encode different values?
