docs: move remaining stuff under Documentation/*.txt to Documentation/staging

There are several files that I was unable to find a proper place
for them, and 3 ones that are still in plain old text format.

Let's place those stuff behind the carpet, as we'd like to keep the
root directory clean.

We can later discuss and move those into better places.

+TEE subsystem
+=============
+
+This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
+
+A TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) is a trusted OS running in some
+secure environment, for example, TrustZone on ARM CPUs, or a separate
+secure co-processor etc. A TEE driver handles the details needed to
+communicate with the TEE.
+
+This subsystem deals with:
+
+- Registration of TEE drivers
+
+- Managing shared memory between Linux and the TEE
+
+- Providing a generic API to the TEE
+
+The TEE interface
+=================
+
+include/uapi/linux/tee.h defines the generic interface to a TEE.
+
+User space (the client) connects to the driver by opening /dev/tee[0-9]* or
+/dev/teepriv[0-9]*.
+
+- TEE_IOC_SHM_ALLOC allocates shared memory and returns a file descriptor
+  which user space can mmap. When user space doesn't need the file
+  descriptor any more, it should be closed. When shared memory isn't needed
+  any longer it should be unmapped with munmap() to allow the reuse of
+  memory.
+
+- TEE_IOC_VERSION lets user space know which TEE this driver handles and
+  its capabilities.
+
+- TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION opens a new session to a Trusted Application.
+
+- TEE_IOC_INVOKE invokes a function in a Trusted Application.
+
+- TEE_IOC_CANCEL may cancel an ongoing TEE_IOC_OPEN_SESSION or TEE_IOC_INVOKE.
+
+- TEE_IOC_CLOSE_SESSION closes a session to a Trusted Application.
+
+There are two classes of clients, normal clients and supplicants. The latter is
+a helper process for the TEE to access resources in Linux, for example file
+system access. A normal client opens /dev/tee[0-9]* and a supplicant opens
+/dev/teepriv[0-9].
+
+Much of the communication between clients and the TEE is opaque to the
+driver. The main job for the driver is to receive requests from the
+clients, forward them to the TEE and send back the results. In the case of
+supplicants the communication goes in the other direction, the TEE sends
+requests to the supplicant which then sends back the result.
+
+The TEE kernel interface
+========================
+
+Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is
+represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and
+client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs.
+
+TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs:
+-  match(): iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding
+   match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is
+   probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This
+   process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE
+   bus.
+-  uevent(): notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on
+   TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers.
+
+TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it
+is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation.
+
+Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs
+listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h.
+
+TEE client driver example
+-------------------------
+
+Suppose a TEE client driver needs to communicate with a Trusted Application
+having UUID: ``ac6a4085-0e82-4c33-bf98-8eb8e118b6c2``, so driver registration
+snippet would look like::
+
+	static const struct tee_client_device_id client_id_table[] = {
+		{UUID_INIT(0xac6a4085, 0x0e82, 0x4c33,
+			   0xbf, 0x98, 0x8e, 0xb8, 0xe1, 0x18, 0xb6, 0xc2)},
+		{}
+	};
+
+	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, client_id_table);
+
+	static struct tee_client_driver client_driver = {
+		.id_table	= client_id_table,
+		.driver		= {
+			.name		= DRIVER_NAME,
+			.bus		= &tee_bus_type,
+			.probe		= client_probe,
+			.remove		= client_remove,
+		},
+	};
+
+	static int __init client_init(void)
+	{
+		return driver_register(&client_driver.driver);
+	}
+
+	static void __exit client_exit(void)
+	{
+		driver_unregister(&client_driver.driver);
+	}
+
+	module_init(client_init);
+	module_exit(client_exit);
+
+OP-TEE driver
+=============
+
+The OP-TEE driver handles OP-TEE [1] based TEEs. Currently it is only the ARM
+TrustZone based OP-TEE solution that is supported.
+
+Lowest level of communication with OP-TEE builds on ARM SMC Calling
+Convention (SMCCC) [2], which is the foundation for OP-TEE's SMC interface
+[3] used internally by the driver. Stacked on top of that is OP-TEE Message
+Protocol [4].
+
+OP-TEE SMC interface provides the basic functions required by SMCCC and some
+additional functions specific for OP-TEE. The most interesting functions are:
+
+- OPTEE_SMC_FUNCID_CALLS_UID (part of SMCCC) returns the version information
+  which is then returned by TEE_IOC_VERSION
+
+- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_GET_OS_UUID returns the particular OP-TEE implementation, used
+  to tell, for instance, a TrustZone OP-TEE apart from an OP-TEE running on a
+  separate secure co-processor.
+
+- OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG drives the OP-TEE message protocol
+
+- OPTEE_SMC_GET_SHM_CONFIG lets the driver and OP-TEE agree on which memory
+  range to used for shared memory between Linux and OP-TEE.
+
+The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] is implemented on top of the generic
+TEE API.

+
+RPC (Remote Procedure Call) are requests from secure world to kernel driver
+or tee-supplicant. An RPC is identified by a special range of SMCCC return
+values from OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG. RPC messages which are intended for the
+kernel are handled by the kernel driver. Other RPC messages will be forwarded to
+tee-supplicant without further involvement of the driver, except switching
+shared memory buffer representation.
+
+OP-TEE device enumeration
+-------------------------
+
+OP-TEE provides a pseudo Trusted Application: drivers/tee/optee/device.c in
+order to support device enumeration. In other words, OP-TEE driver invokes this
+application to retrieve a list of Trusted Applications which can be registered
+as devices on the TEE bus.
+
+AMD-TEE driver
+==============
+
+The AMD-TEE driver handles the communication with AMD's TEE environment. The
+TEE environment is provided by AMD Secure Processor.
+
+The AMD Secure Processor (formerly called Platform Security Processor or PSP)
+is a dedicated processor that features ARM TrustZone technology, along with a
+software-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed to enable
+third-party Trusted Applications. This feature is currently enabled only for
+APUs.
+
+The following picture shows a high level overview of AMD-TEE::

+
+At the lowest level (in x86), the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) driver uses the
+CPU to PSP mailbox regsister to submit commands to the PSP. The format of the
+command buffer is opaque to the ASP driver. It's role is to submit commands to
+the secure processor and return results to AMD-TEE driver. The interface
+between AMD-TEE driver and AMD Secure Processor driver can be found in [6].
+
+The AMD-TEE driver packages the command buffer payload for processing in TEE.
+The command buffer format for the different TEE commands can be found in [7].
+
+The TEE commands supported by AMD-TEE Trusted OS are:
+
+* TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA          - loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into
+                                TEE environment.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_UNLOAD_TA        - unloads TA binary from TEE environment.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_OPEN_SESSION     - opens a session with a loaded TA.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_CLOSE_SESSION    - closes session with loaded TA
+* TEE_CMD_ID_INVOKE_CMD       - invokes a command with loaded TA
+* TEE_CMD_ID_MAP_SHARED_MEM   - maps shared memory
+* TEE_CMD_ID_UNMAP_SHARED_MEM - unmaps shared memory
+
+AMD-TEE Trusted OS is the firmware running on AMD Secure Processor.
+
+The AMD-TEE driver registers itself with TEE subsystem and implements the
+following driver function callbacks:
+
+* get_version - returns the driver implementation id and capability.
+* open - sets up the driver context data structure.
+* release - frees up driver resources.
+* open_session - loads the TA binary and opens session with loaded TA.
+* close_session -  closes session with loaded TA and unloads it.
+* invoke_func - invokes a command with loaded TA.
+
+cancel_req driver callback is not supported by AMD-TEE.
+
+The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [5] can be used by the user space (client) to
+talk to AMD's TEE. AMD's TEE provides a secure environment for loading, opening
+a session, invoking commands and clossing session with TA.
