> +OP-TEE notifications
> +--------------------
> +
> +There are two kinds of notifications that secure world can use to make
> +normal world aware of some event.
> +
> +1. Synchronous notifications delivered with ``OPTEE_RPC_CMD_NOTIFICATION``
> +   using the ``OPTEE_RPC_NOTIFICATION_SEND`` parameter.
> +2. Asynchronous notifications delivered with a combination of a non-secure
> +   edge-triggered interrupt and a fast call from the non-secure interrupt
> +   handler.
> +
> +Synchronous notifications are limited by depending on RPC for delivery,
> +this is only usable when secure world is entered with a yielding call via
> +``OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG``. This excludes such notifications from secure
> +world interrupt handlers.
> +
> +An asynchronous notification is delivered via a non-secure edge-triggered
> +interrupt to an interrupt handler registered in the OP-TEE driver. The
> +actual notification value are retrieved with the fast call
> +``OPTEE_SMC_GET_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE``. Note that one interrupt can represent
> +multiple notifications.
> +
> +One notification value ``OPTEE_SMC_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE_DO_BOTTOM_HALF`` has a
> +special meaning. When this value is received it means that normal world is
> +supposed to make a yielding call ``OPTEE_MSG_CMD_DO_BOTTOM_HALF``. This
> +call is done from the thread assisting the interrupt handler. This is a
> +building block for OP-TEE OS in secure world to implement the top half and
> +bottom half style of device drivers.
> +
> +OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option
> +----------------------------------------
> +
> +The OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option enables the ability to load the
> +BL32 OP-TEE image from the kernel after the kernel boots, rather than loading
> +it from the firmware before the kernel boots. This also requires enabling the
> +corresponding option in Trusted Firmware for Arm. The Trusted Firmware for Arm
> +documentation [6] explains the security threat associated with enabling this as
> +well as mitigations at the firmware and platform level.
> +
> +There are additional attack vectors/mitigations for the kernel that should be
> +addressed when using this option.
> +
> +1. Boot chain security.
> +
> +   * Attack vector: Replace the OP-TEE OS image in the rootfs to gain control of
> +     the system.
> +
> +   * Mitigation: There must be boot chain security that verifies the kernel and
> +     rootfs, otherwise an attacker can modify the loaded OP-TEE binary by
> +     modifying it in the rootfs.
> +
> +2. Alternate boot modes.
> +
> +   * Attack vector: Using an alternate boot mode (i.e. recovery mode), the
> +     OP-TEE driver isn't loaded, leaving the SMC hole open.
> +
> +   * Mitigation: If there are alternate methods of booting the device, such as a
> +     recovery mode, it should be ensured that the same mitigations are applied
> +     in that mode.
> +
> +3. Attacks prior to SMC invocation.
> +
> +   * Attack vector: Code that is executed prior to issuing the SMC call to load
> +     OP-TEE can be exploited to then load an alternate OS image.
> +
> +   * Mitigation: The OP-TEE driver must be loaded before any potential attack
> +     vectors are opened up. This should include mounting of any modifiable
> +     filesystems, opening of network ports or communicating with external
> +     devices (e.g. USB).
> +
> +4. Blocking SMC call to load OP-TEE.
> +
> +   * Attack vector: Prevent the driver from being probed, so the SMC call to
> +     load OP-TEE isn't executed when desired, leaving it open to being executed
> +     later and loading a modified OS.
> +
> +   * Mitigation: It is recommended to build the OP-TEE driver as builtin driver
> +     rather than as a module to prevent exploits that may cause the module to
> +     not be loaded.
