[PATCH] tpm: vtpm_proxy: Introduce flag to prevent sysfs entries

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Fri Jun 24 2016 - 10:37:48 EST


Introduce TPM_VTPM_PROXY_NO_SYSFS flag that prevents a vtpm_proxy driver
instance from having the typical sysfs entries that shows the state of the
TPM. The flag is to be set in the ioctl creating the vtpm_proxy device
pair and maps on a new chip flags TPM_CHIP_FLAG_NO_SYSFS.

This flag would be set by a container management stack to prevent
TPM related information leakage between containers who share entries
in sysfs.
