[PATCH v4 03/11] tee: add TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_UBUF

Amirreza Zarrabi
2025-04-29T06:07:02Z

For drivers that can transfer data to the TEE without using shared
memory from client, it is necessary to receive the user address
directly, bypassing any processing by the TEE subsystem. Introduce
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_UBUF_INPUT/OUTPUT/INOUT to represent
userspace buffers.
