[patch 7/8] tpm_tis: Probing function for Intel iTPM bug

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Tue Mar 15 2011 - 07:14:51 EST


This patch introduces a function for automatic probing for the Intel iTPM
STS_DATA_EXPECT flaw.

I split the current tpm_tis_send function into 2 parts where the 1st part is
now called tpm_tis_send_data() and merely sends the data to the TPM. I am using
that function for probing. The new tpm_tis_send function now first calls
tpm_tis_send_data and if that succeeds has the TPM process the command and
waits until the response is there.

The probing for the Intel iTPM is only invoked if the user has not passed
itpm=1 as parameter for the module *or* if such a TPM was detected via ACPI.
Previously it was necessary to pass itpm=1 when also passing force=1 to the
module when doing a 'modprobe'. This function is more general than the ACPI
test function and the function relying on ACPI could probably be removed.
