Linus Torvalds a2d9214c73 TEE driver infrastructure and OP-TEE drivers
This branch introduces a generic TEE framework in the kernel, to handle
 trusted environemtns (security coprocessor or software implementations
 such as OP-TEE/TrustZone). I'm sending it separately from the other
 arm-soc driver changes to give it a little more visibility, once
 the subsystem is merged, we will likely keep this in the arm₋soc
 drivers branch or have the maintainers submit pull requests directly,
 depending on the patch volume.
 
 I have reviewed earlier versions in the past, and have reviewed
 the latest version in person during Linaro Connect BUD17.
 
 Here is my overall assessment of the subsystem:
 
 * There is clearly demand for this, both for the generic
   infrastructure and the specific OP-TEE implementation.
 
 * The code has gone through a large number of reviews,
   and the review comments have all been addressed, but
   the reviews were not coming up with serious issues any more
   and nobody volunteered to vouch for the quality.
 
 * The user space ioctl interface is sufficient to work with the
   OP-TEE driver, and it should in principle work with other
   TEE implementations that follow the GlobalPlatform[1] standards,
   but it might need to be extended in minor ways depending on
   specific requirements of future TEE implementations
 
 * The main downside of the API to me is how the user space
   is tied to the TEE implementation in hardware or firmware,
   but uses a generic way to communicate with it. This seems
   to be an inherent problem with what it is trying to do,
   and I could not come up with any better solution than what
   is implemented here.
