subsystem as a whole and in OP-TEE in particular.
Global Platform TEE specification [1] allows client applications
to register part of own memory as a shared buffer between
application and TEE. This allows fast zero-copy communication between
TEE and REE. But current implementation of TEE in Linux does not support
this feature.
Also, current implementation of OP-TEE transport uses fixed size
pre-shared buffer for all communications with OP-TEE OS. This is okay
in the most use cases. But this prevents use of OP-TEE in virtualized
environments, because:
a) We can't share the same buffer between different virtual machines
b) Physically contiguous memory as seen by VM can be non-contiguous
in reality (and as seen by OP-TEE OS) due to second stage of
MMU translation.
c) Size of this pre-shared buffer is limited.
So, first part of this pull request adds generic register/unregister
interface to tee subsystem. The second part adds necessary features into
OP-TEE driver, so it can use not only static pre-shared buffer, but
whole RAM to communicate with OP-TEE OS.
This change is backwards compatible allowing older secure world or
user space to work with newer kernels and vice versa.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
