+===================================
+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
+===================================
+
+This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+A TEE 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
