Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] dt-bindings: reserved-memory: Document Tegra VPR
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 18:08:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701-tegra-vpr-v3-1-d80f7b871bb4@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701-tegra-vpr-v3-0-d80f7b871bb4@nvidia.com>
From: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>
The Video Protection Region (VPR) found on NVIDIA Tegra chips is a
region of memory that is protected from CPU accesses. It is used to
decode and play back DRM protected content.
It is a standard reserved memory region that can exist in two forms:
static VPR where the base address and size are fixed (uses the "reg"
property to describe the memory) and a resizable VPR where only the
size is known upfront and the OS can allocate it wherever it can be
accomodated.
Reviewed-by: Rob Herring (Arm) <robh@kernel.org>

Changes in v2:
- add examples for fixed and resizable VPR

+description: |
+ NVIDIA Tegra chips have long supported a mechanism to protect a single,
+ contiguous memory region from non-secure memory accesses. Typically this
+ region is used for decoding and playback of DRM protected content. Various
+ devices, such as the display controller and multimedia engines (video
+ decoder) can access this region in a secure way. Access from the CPU is
+ generally forbidden.
+
+ Two variants exist for VPR: one is fixed in both the base address and size,
+ while the other is resizable. Fixed VPR can be described by just a "reg"
+ property specifying the base address and size, whereas the resizable VPR
+ is defined by a size/alignment pair of properties. For resizable VPR the
+ memory is reusable by the rest of the system when it's unused for VPR and
+ therefore the "reusable" property must be specified along with it. For a
+ fixed VPR, the memory is permanently protected, and therefore it's not
+ reusable and must also be marked as "no-map" to prevent any (including
+ speculative) accesses to it.
