[PATCH v10 0/5] Multi-instance vTPM proxy driver

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Fri Apr 15 2016 - 09:50:58 EST


The following series of patches implements a multi-instance vTPM
proxy driver that can dynamically create TPM 'server' and client device
pairs.

Using an ioctl on the provided /dev/vtpmx, a client-side vTPM device
and a server side file descriptor is created. The file descriptor must
be passed to a TPM emulator. The device driver will initialize the
emulated TPM using TPM 1.2 or TPM 2 startup commands and it will read
the command durations from the device in case of a TPM 1.2. The choice
of emulated TPM device (1.2 or 2) must be provided with a flag in
the ioctl.

The patches are based on the tip of a recent checkout of Jarkko's tree
(master branch).

Stefan

v9->v10:
- add new patch 1 with sysfs related rework; reworked patch 2 as a consequence
- patch 3: fixed ioctl from using _IOW to using _IOWR (reinstall headers
and rebuild test tools)
- patch 3: do not use priv field anymore but uses dev_set_drvdata /
dev_get_drvdata instead now

v8->v9:
- move constant from public header into tpm_vtpm_proxy.c
- Replaced VTPM_PROXY_MAGIC in ioctl definition with its value (0xa1)
- Check for the STATE_OPEN_FLAG in wait_event_interruptable and after
returning from it

v7->v8:
- minor tweaks on the documentation
- Reordered function calls in the VTPM proxy driver's server side release
function so that a client holding the 'ops' lock releases it before the
driver tries to grab the lock when unregistering the device.

v6->v7:
- Adjusted name of driver to tpm_vtpm_proxy from tpm_vtpm. Adjust function
names, names of structures, and names of constants.
- Adjusted IOCTL to use magic 0xa1 rather than the completely used 0xa0.
- Extended driver documentation and added documentation of ioctl.
- Moved test program to own project (dropped patch 11).

v5->v6:
- Adapted errno's for unsupported flags and ioctls following Jason's
comments

v4->v5:
- Introduced different error codes for unsupported flags and ioctls
- Added documentation patch
