[RFC PATCH 3/4] tpm: Conditionally use static buffer in TPM buffer management

From: Daniel P. Smith
Date: Sat Oct 31 2020 - 12:46:32 EST


Memory management calls cannot be made in the compressed kernel
environment to dynamically allocate TPM buffer space. For the Secure
Launch early PCR extend code, use a static buffer instead.
