+=============================================
+QTEE (Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment)
+=============================================
+
+The QTEE driver handle communication with Qualcomm TEE [1].
+
+Lowest level of communication with QTEE builds on ARM SMC Calling Convention
+(SMCCC) [2], which is the foundation for QTEE's Secure Channel Manager (SCM) [3]
+used internally by the driver [4].
+
+In a QTEE-based system, services are represented as objects with series of
+operations that can be called to produce results, including other objects. When
+an object is hosted within QTEE, executing its operations is referred to as direct
+invocation. QTEE can invoke objects hosted in the kernel or userspace using a
+method known as callback requests.
+
+The SCM provides two functions for object invocation and callback request:
+
+- QCOM_SCM_SMCINVOKE_INVOKE for direct invocation. It can return either a result or a callback request.
+- QCOM_SCM_SMCINVOKE_CB_RSP submits a response for a previous callback request.
+
+The QTEE Transport Message [5] is stacked on top of SCM driver functions.
+
+A message consists of two buffers shared with QTEE, inbound and outbound buffers.
+The inbound buffer is used for direct invocation and the outbound buffer is used
+to make callback request. This picture shows the contents of a QTEE transport message::
+
+                                      +---------------------+
+                                      |                     v
+    +-----------------+-------+-------+------+--------------------------+
+    | qcom_tee_msg_   |object | buffer       |                          |
+    |  object_invoke  |  id   | offset, size |                          | (inbound buffer)
+    +-----------------+-------+--------------+--------------------------+
+    <---- header -----><---- arguments ------><- in/out buffer payload ->
+
+                                      +-----------+
+                                      |           v
+    +-----------------+-------+-------+------+----------------------+
+    | qcom_tee_msg_   |object | buffer       |                      |
+    |  callback       |  id   | offset, size |                      | (outbound buffer)
+    +-----------------+-------+--------------+----------------------+
+
+Each buffer is started with a header and array of arguments.
+
+QTEE Transport Message supports four types of arguments:
+
+- Input object is an object parameter to the current invocation or callback request
+- Output object is an object parameter from the current invocation or callback request
+- Input buffer is (offset, size) pair to the inbound or outbound region to store parameter to the current invocation or callback request
+- Output buffer is (offset, size) pair to the inbound or outbound region to store parameter from the current invocation or callback request
+
+The QTEE driver offers the qcom_tee_object, which represents an object within both
+QTEE and the kernel. To access any service in QTEE, client needs to invoke an
+instance of this object. Any structure intended to represent a service for export
+to QTEE should include an instance of qcom_tee_object::
+
+	struct driver_service {
+		struct qcom_tee_object object;
+		...
+	};
+
+	#define to_driver_service_object(o) container_of((o), struct driver_service, object)
+
+	static int driver_service_dispatch(struct qcom_tee_object *object, u32 op,
+					   struct qcom_tee_arg *args)
+	{
+		struct driver_service *so = to_driver_service_object(object);
+
+		switch(op) {
+		case OBJECT_OP1:
+			...
+			break;
+		default:
+			return -EINVAL;
+		}
+	}
+
+	static void driver_service_object_release(struct si_object *object)
+	{
+		struct driver_service *so = to_driver_service_object(object);
+		kfree(so);
+	}
+
+	struct si_object_operations driver_service_ops = {
+		.release = driver_service_object_release;
+		.dispatch = driver_service_dispatch;
+	};
+
+	void service_init(void)
+	{
+		struct driver_service *so = kzalloc(sizeof(*so), GFP_KERNEL);
+
+		/* Initialize so->object as a callback object. */
+		qcom_tee_object_user_init(&so->object, QCOM_TEE_OBJECT_TYPE_CB_OBJECT,
+					  &driver_service_ops, "driver_service_object");
+
+		/* Invoke a QTEE object and pass/register 'so->object' with QTEE. */
+		...
+	}
+	module_init(service_init);
+
+The QTEE driver utilizes qcom_tee_object to encapsulate userspace objects. When a
+callback request is made, it translates into calling the dispatch callback. For
+userspace objects, this is converted into requests accessible to callback servers
+and available through generic TEE API IOCTLs.
