[PATCH v2 1/6] tee: qcomtee: Track the object invocation context

Harshal Dev via OP-TEE <[email protected]> Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:29:12 +0530
Newsgroups org.trustedfirmware.lists.op-tee,org.kernel.vger.linux-arm-msm,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <20260722-qcom_uefisecapp_migrate_qcomtee-v2-1-b8a8fcbe4211@oss.qualcomm.com>
QCOMTEE needs to distinguish between object invocations arriving from
kernel clients and user-space clients in order to correctly marshal
UBUF parameters and decide whether certain operations should be permitted.

Introduce an enum tee_object_invoke_origin to allow clients to indicate
the context of the TEE object invocation, and add a kernel_ctx flag to the
QCOMTEE context so the TEE back-end can track it.
