No problem, thanks for the help :)

With the new patch:

Locating the TCG2Protocol
Calling GetEventLog on TCG2Protocol
Log returned
log_location is not empty
log_size != 0
log_size < 1M
Allocating memory for storing the logs
Returned from memory allocation
Copying log to new location

And then it hangs. I added a couple more print statements:

and it's hanging at "memset(log_tbl, 0, sizeof(*log_tbl) + log_size);"
