6.18: Add PAS over OP-TEE support for open-firmware platforms

[Ricardo Salveti (ricardosalveti)]

Backport series enabling Peripheral Authentication Service (PAS) over OP-TEE on
qcom-6.18.y, so remoteproc firmware authenticates on platforms running a fully open
secure world (TF-A BL31 + OP-TEE, no Qualcomm TrustZone). 21 commits: 12 UPSTREAM,
5 BACKPORT, 1 FROMGIT, 3 FROMLIST.

Upstream v7.3-rc1 replaced the single SCM PAS implementation with a generic PAS layer
taking pluggable TZ backends, plus an OP-TEE backend that talks to the
cff7d191-7ca0-4784-af13-48223b9a4fbe TA instead of Qualcomm's proprietary PAS SCM
calls. Without it every PAS consumer fails on an OP-TEE secure world: the five lemans
DSPs stop at Error in getting resource table: -5, the GPU falls back to
SECVID_TRUST_CNTL, video never initialises. It has to land as a whole —
qcom_pas_probe() gains a qcom_pas_is_available() gate, so the consumer conversions
without the TEE backend would turn today's loud failures into silent EPROBE_DEFERs.

• Generic PAS service and backends (5): the generic layer, the SCM backend migration
  (now registers only when qcom_scm_is_pas_available(), which OP-TEE answers no to),
  the OP-TEE backend, the tee_client_driver helper it needs, MAINTAINERS.
• Consumer conversions (7): qcom_q6v5_pas, qcom_q6v5_mss, qcom_wcnss, drm/msm,
  net/ipa, media (iris + venus), and the remoteproc select QCOM_PAS. This branch
  already carries patch 13/13 of the same series, 6ecc129 (ath12k), whose
  select QCOM_PAS currently names a symbol that does not exist — these make it real.
• Follow-up fixes (2, Fixes: the above): adreno only checks PAS when a zap shader
  is present; q6v5_mss no longer requires PAS for qcom_scm_assign_mem() protection.
• Video without the SCM memory-protect call (3, FROMLIST): with PAS working, iris
  and venus next fail at qcom_scm_mem_protect_video_var, which only the SCM backend
  services. The series exposes the active backend and skips that call for non-SCM ones.

  (v1).
• ICE error propagation (4): needed to boot at all, see below.

The five BACKPORTs are context-only except four, each explained in its own commit: the
PAS TEE service registers via struct device_driver probe/remove (this branch predates
71a3346, see below); q6v5_pas keeps this branch's PAS-context placement from
FROMLIST 038ee40 and qcom_mdt_pas_load() without the mem_region argument; both
q6v5_mss commits gate on version == MSS_MSM8953, as f56052f is not on this branch;
and the media commit converts this branch's downstream PAS-context iris/venus paths,
which upstream does not have.

Why the ICE patches are in this series

The branch is left half-applied by the upstream ICE fix series: it has cc160ce
(= d922113, the xarray race fix) and 633db9a (= 5a4dc80), but not
b9ab721, which makes qcom_ice_create() return an ERR_PTR instead of NULL. So on
any secure world without TZ ICE — every OP-TEE platform — qcom_ice_probe() fails and
stores nothing in ice_handles, and consumers read xa_load() == NULL as "not probed
yet" and get -EPROBE_DEFER forever:

qcom-ice 1d88000.crypto: ICE SCM interface not found
qcom-ice 1d88000.crypto: probe with driver qcom-ice failed with error -95

ufs_qcom_ice_init() then defers permanently, ufs_qcom_init() never completes, UFS
never probes and the rootfs never appears — a boot that stops mid-UFS-probe with no
getty, easily misread as a console failure. This is the failure d922113 describes
("devm_of_qcom_ice_get() loops with -EPROBE_DEFER, leaving consumers non-functional even
when ICE should be gracefully disabled"), and it is Tested-by: Sumit Garg "# OP-TEE as
TZ". Completing the series makes the probe store the error, so consumers get -EOPNOTSUPP
and UFS logs Disabling inline encryption support and continues. Both consumer cleanups
(ufs-qcom, sdhci-msm) are taken so no NULL-checking caller is left, and 462a85f
because it Fixes: b9ab721. This is not PAS- or board-specific: any platform here
whose ICE probe fails currently loses UFS or eMMC.

Deliberately not taken

71a3346 ("tee: Add probe, remove and shutdown bus callbacks to tee_client_driver"):
it sets tee_bus_type.probe while the legacy shim is installed only inside
__tee_client_driver_register(), so the six tee client drivers here that call
driver_register() directly would bind but never probe — taking it means taking the
15-patch conversion of all of them, so the PAS TEE driver is adapted instead.

Also left out: late attach (16472c9) and needs_tzmem (c220006), features not
enablement; 9db31ed and 34b8b2d, the latter fixing late-attach code absent
here; Kconfig cosmetics (8fecd31) and SCM tracepoints (41329e7);
a5464fa / c06c5ab, already present as FROMLIST 038ee40; c709c76
(ICE IP version > v3); and the platform additions, QSEECOM allow-lists and mdt_loader
renames in the same range.

Known gaps

• iris no longer fails at qcom_scm_mem_protect_video_var, but now reports
  failed to suspend. Upstream's lemans-el2.dtso disables &iris outright, while this
  branch's keeps it enabled, so there is no upstream behaviour to compare against.
• adreno binds and loads its firmware, then takes a6xx_irq ... gpu fault /
  a6xx_recover. Pre-existing and not PAS-related — v7.3-rc3 does the same here.
• qcom_ice_probe() keeps a now-unreachable if (!engine) return -EOPNOTSUPP; behind
  this branch's downstream OPP hunk. Left alone so the upstream picks stay faithful;
  worth a separate cleanup.
• CONFIG_QCOMTEE=y here (upstream =m), so the QTEE smcinvoke driver probes and OP-TEE
  rejects its calls (Unknown SMC 0x72000602). Harmless but noisy.
• Proprietary-TZ services OP-TEE does not implement are unchanged and not regressions:
  SHM Bridge not supported, download mode: -22, qseecom ... -5, osm-l3 ... hardware not enabled, and the qcom/sa8775p/qupv3fw.elf load. Those need TF-A/OP-TEE work.
• The video series is FROMLIST at v1; re-check and swap for the merged commits once it
  lands.

git commit --amend --signoff --author="Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz <jorge.ramirez@oss.qualcomm.com>"

For commits with "Unknown commit id" warnings (0934c0d, 8a88dc7, 5e424ce):

Fix:

For commits with "Change is different":

These are expected for commits tagged with BACKPORT: — backports legitimately differ from upstream due to context changes, API differences, or conflict resolution. The checker's content-match logic is strict and flags even minor context shifts.

Action: Verify each BACKPORT commit manually:

# For each commit, fetch upstream and compare
b4 am --single-message -C -l -3 <link> -o /tmp/upstream
git format-patch -1 <sha> --stdout > /tmp/local.patch
# Compare the actual code changes (ignore context):
diff <(grep -E '^[+-][^+-]' /tmp/local.patch | grep -v '^---\|^+++') \
     <(grep -E '^[+-][^+-]' /tmp/upstream/*.mbx | grep -v '^---\|^+++')

If differences are legitimate adaptations (e.g., function signature changes, struct member renames), document them in the commit message:

BACKPORT: <subject>

<original message>

[ Upstream commit <sha> ]

Changes from upstream:
- Adapted for <reason>
- Modified <function> to use <old-API> instead of <new-API>

Link: <lore-url>

For commit 8a88dc7 (invalid link):

The lore link appears to be malformed or the patch series was reposted. Verify the correct lore URL:

# Search lore for the patch by subject
curl -s "https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=remoteproc+qcom_q6v5_mss+Don%27t+require+PAS" | grep -o 'https://lore.kernel.org/[^"]*'

Update the commit message with the correct Link: tag.

For UPSTREAM commits with "Change is different" (fe21ada):

UPSTREAM commits should match exactly. If there's a difference, it's likely a cherry-pick issue:

# Verify the upstream commit SHA in the commit message
git log --format="%B" fe21ada51252 | grep "cherry picked from commit"
# Fetch and compare
git fetch <upstream-remote> <upstream-sha>
git diff <upstream-sha> fe21ada51252

If differences exist, either:

• Change prefix to BACKPORT: and document changes, or
• Re-cherry-pick cleanly from upstream

Reproduce locally:

b4 am --single-message -C -l -3 <link-from-commit-message> -o /tmp/out

Verdict

6 blockers must be fixed before merge:

1. checkpatch — Fix whitespace errors in commit bb992f0 (tee helpers)
2. checkpatch — Fix email mismatch in commits 1810301 and bbd26dd
3. checkpatch — Add Closes: tag to commit f267b19
4. check-patch-compliance — Verify and document BACKPORT differences for 5 commits
5. check-patch-compliance — Fix invalid lore link in commit 8a88dc7
6. check-patch-compliance — Investigate UPSTREAM content mismatch in commit fe21ada

Non-blockers (acceptable warnings):

• "Unknown commit id" warnings for Fixes: tags referencing upstream commits not yet in tree
