Introduce a FLAG for the restricted memory which means the memory is
protected by TEE or hypervisor, then it's inaccessiable for kernel.

Currently we don't use sg_dma_unmark_restricted, thus this interface
has not been added.

Why should that be part of the scatterlist? It doesn't seem to affect 
any of it's functionality.

As far as I can see the scatterlist shouldn't be the transport of this 
kind of information.

Christian.

Thanks for the review. I will remove this.

In our user scenario, DRM will import these buffers and check if this
is a restricted buffer. If yes, it will use secure GCE takes over.

If this judgment is not suitable to be placed in scatterlist. I don't
know if it is ok to limit this inside dma-buf. Adding such an
interface:

static bool dma_buf_is_restricted(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
{
	return !strncmp(dmabuf->exp_name, "restricted", 10);
}

Thanks.

No, usually stuff like that doesn't belong into DMA buf either.

Question here really is who controls the security status of the memory 
backing the buffer?

In other words who tells the exporter that it should allocate and fill a 
buffer with encrypted data?

If that is userspace then that is part of the format information and it 
is also userspace who should tell the importer that it needs to work 
with encrypted data.

The kernel is intentionally not involved in stuff like that.

Christian.

Here is the expected protected content buffer flow in DRM:
1) userspace allocates a dma-buf FD from the "restricted_mtk_cma" by
DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC.
2) userspace imports that dma-buf into the device using prime for the
drm_file.
3) userspace uses the already implemented driver import code for the
special cases of protected content buffer.

In the step 3), we need to verify the dma-buf is allocated from
"restricted_mtk_cma", but there is no way to pass the secure flag or
private data from userspace to the import interface in DRM driver.

So I can only verify it like this now:
struct drm_gem_object *mtk_gem_prime_import_sg_table(struct drm_device
	*dev, struct dma_buf_attachment *attach, struct sg_table *sg)
{
    struct mtk_gem_obj *mtk_gem;

    /* check if the entries in the sg_table are contiguous */
    if (drm_prime_get_contiguous_size(sg) < attach->dmabuf->size) {
        DRM_ERROR("sg_table is not contiguous");
        return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
    }
    mtk_gem = mtk_gem_init(dev, attach->dmabuf->size);
    if (IS_ERR(mtk_gem))
        return ERR_CAST(mtk_gem);

+   mtk_gem->secure = (!strncmp(attach->dmabuf->exp_name, "restricted",
10));
    mtk_gem->dma_addr = sg_dma_address(sg->sgl);
    mtk_gem->size = attach->dmabuf->size;
    mtk_gem->sg = sg;

    return &mtk_gem->base;
}

I think I have the same problem as the ECC_FLAG mention in:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20240515-dma-buf-ecc-heap-v1-0-54cbbd049511@kernel.org/

I think it would be better to have the user configurable private
information in dma-buf, so all the drivers who have the same
requirement can get their private information from dma-buf directly and
no need to change or add the interface.

What's your opinion in this point?

The special case simply means the the protected content buffer.

I need to know the imported buffer is allocated from restricted cma and
mark it as a secure buffer in mediatek-drm driver. Then, I will add
some configuration to the hardware if the buffer is secure buffer, so
that it can get the permission to access the secure buffer.

You mean I should allocate buffer in mediate-drm driver not userspace?
I just have modified this to userspace by the comment here:

We use the same mediatek-drm driver for secure and non-secure buffer.
If non-secure buffer imported to mediatek-drm driver, it's go to the
normal flow with normal hardware settings.

We use different configurations to make hardware have different
permission to access the buffer it should access.

So if we can't get the information of "the buffer is allocated from
restricted_mtk_cma" when importing the buffer into the driver, we won't
be able to configure the hardware correctly.

Thanks for your hint, I'll try to add the secure flag to the ADDFB2
ioctl. If it works, I'll send the patch.

The reason I ask is that encryption here looks just like another 
parameter for the buffer, e.g. like format, stride, tilling etc..

So instead of this during buffer import:

mtk_gem->secure = (!strncmp(attach->dmabuf->exp_name, "restricted", 10));
mtk_gem->dma_addr = sg_dma_address(sg->sgl);
mtk_gem->size = attach->dmabuf->size;
mtk_gem->sg = sg;

You can trivially say during use hey this buffer is encrypted.

At least that's my 10 mile high view, maybe I'm missing some extensive 
key exchange or something like that.

Yeah, exactly what I would suggest as well.

I'm not an expert for that part, but as far as I know we already have 
bunch of device specific tilling flags in there.

Adding an MTK_ENCRYPTED flag should be trivial.

That doesn't work in all cases, unfortunately.

If you're doing secure video playback, the firmware is typically in
charge of the frame decryption/decoding, and you'd get dma-buf back that
aren't accessible by the CPU (or at least, not at the execution level
Linux runs with).

So nobody can map that buffer, and the firmware driver is the one who
knows that this buffer cannot be accessed by anyone. Putting this on the
userspace to know would be pretty weird, and wouldn't solve the case
where the kernel would try to map it.

Can you clarify which firmware you're talking about? Is this secure
firmware, or firmware running on the video decoding hardware?

Doesn't userspace need to know from the start whether it's trying to do
secure playback or not? Typically this involves more than just the
decoding part. You'd typically set up things like HDCP as part of the
process, so userspace probably already does know that the buffers being
passed around are protected.

Also, the kernel shouldn't really be mapping these buffers unless
explicitly told to. In most cases you also wouldn't want the kernel to
map these kinds of buffers, right? Are there any specific cases where
you expect the kernel to need to map these?

I've been looking at this on the Tegra side recently and the way it
works on these chips is that you basically get an opaque carveout region
that has been locked down by secure firmware or early bootloaders, so
only certain hardware blocks can access it. We can allocate from that
carveout and then pass the buffers around.

It may be possible to use these protected carveout regions exclusively
from the DRM/KMS driver and share them with multimedia engines via DMA-
BUF, but I've also been looking into perhaps using DMA-BUF heaps to
expose the carveout, which would make this a bit more flexible and allow
either userspace to allocate the buffers or have multiple kernel drivers
share the carveout via the DMA-BUF heap. Though the latter would require
that there be in-kernel APIs for heaps, so not too sure about that yet.

Well, we don't currently support HDCP at all. I do have proof-of-concept
patches from a long time ago and, yes, judging by that we'd need to
control all of this from userspace. The way I imagine that this would
work is that userspace needs to first set the "Content Protection" and
"HDCP Content Type" properties and wait for the state change. Once that
has happened it can go and allocate the protected memory and start
decoding into it and then scan out from these buffers.

I don't think so. It's possible to scan out an unprotected buffer with
HDCP enabled. It may also be possible to scan out a protected buffer
even if HDCP wasn't enabled, though you would obviously want to prevent
that somehow. Not sure if there's a common way to do this, but I guess
in end-user devices you'd need a fully trusted boot chain to do that in
a compliant way.

It's been a long time since I looked at this, but I seem to recall that
at the time all software that could do DRM-protected playback on Linux
was proprietary for reasons like these.

I'm mostly a reader of the thread here, but I'd like to avoid basic mistakes.
The buffer in question are "protected", meaning that the CPU HW does not have
access to the underlying pages (or zone in the case of Meditatek).

This is different from encrypted buffers, which don't need this level of
protection, as without the security key to decrypt them, their content is close
to random data.

If we take secure video path as an example, in the context of digital right
management, the handling of user session, retrieval of the device specific "key"
is entirely something for userspace to handle and the kernel have no business
into that. As long as the data is encrypted, its safe to carry around like any
other buffers.

It is only once decryption (usally done by a TF-A) that restricted memory start
being used. Initially in the form of a compressed video stream, and eventually
in the format of raw images.

Just to be clear, my comment was just a concept correction, I also think its
nice to give a ADDFB2 flag a try, from my userspace experience, this is an easy
place to provide this type of information. Also, the V4L2 proposal for the same
endup with a flag at during buffer queue configuration, which is pretty close.

Userspace will be the one calling into the CDM TF-A to get the bitstream buffer
to be decrypted, not the firmware. The encrypted buffers are not using
restricted memory. Userspace is also responsible for calling into the MTK
restricted heap to allocate the destination buffer (on other platform it could
be CMA heaps + TF-A call to restrict the allocated memory, I've seen some
discussions related to this, but its not possible on Mediatek HW).

I think its fair to assume that userspace always know which buffers are
restricted or not in the SVP process.

That is something interesting for the linux-media discussions too. So in one
case, you have a seperate TF-A in the secure firmware following the CDM
specification, and it gives you back a restricted bitstream buffer. You then
don't need any CDM specific session/key information into the CODEC driver.

But in the case of Tegra, it would mean the CODEC driver is not agnostic to the
CDM, so we can expect (if this endup as a V4L2 driver) some controls for
Widewine, Playready and other CDM ? (adding explicit CDM API in the kernel is a
hot potato imho, I myself would try and stay away from that at all cost, and
focus on restricted storage feature only).

Thanks for that clarification, this difference was absolutely not obvious.

In that case having a separate heap for this memory is indeed the 
easiest approach.

My question is still what would happen if the CPU tries to access this 
protected buffer? Or does the CPU not even have an address to do that?

Just out of curiosity, I mean the exporting heap should then somehow 
reject any attempt to mmap() or vmap() the buffer content.

Thanks,
Christian.

As I know, there are 4 kind of buffer in SVP flow of MediaTek platform:
1) The normal buffer with the encrypted video bitstream content
(source buffer for decryption engine)
User APP will push encrypted data to this buffer for decrypted engine,
so it should be normal buffer.

2) The secure buffer with the decrypted video bitstream content
(source buffer for video decoder engine)

3) The secure buffer with decoded frame data content
(source buffer for GPU)

4) The secure buffer with resized and format changed frame data content
(source buffer for display engine)


The secure buffer in DRM SVP series:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/list/?series=855888
should be resized and format changed frame data for display engine and
it can only be accessed in TEE world by the secure display hardware.

If CPU access this buffer in normal world or non-secure display
hardware are configured to access this buffer, they will get an IOMMU
fault error and it can not translate to the correct buffer address.

I've asked our vcodec owner how to handle the same case in V4L2:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20240516122102.16379-2-yunfei.dong@mediatek.com/

They also added a secure flag in UAPI and V4L2 header and then passed
it from userspace to V4L2 driver.

So maybe we can use the same way to add a secure flag in UAPI and
extend the flag parameter of AddModeFB2().

I think here is currently the most suitable place to add the secure
flag besides adding the new ioctl().
