[PATCH v4] keys/trusted_keys: move TPM-specific fields into trusted_tpm_options

From: Srish Srinivasan

Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 09:09:56 EST


The trusted_key_options struct contains TPM-specific fields (keyhandle,
keyauth, blobauth_len, blobauth, pcrinfo_len, pcrinfo, pcrlock, hash,
policydigest_len, policydigest, and policyhandle). This leads to the
accumulation of backend-specific fields in the generic options structure.

Define a trusted_tpm_options structure and move the TPM-specific fields
there. Store a pointer to trusted_tpm_options in the private member of
trusted_key_options.

No functional change intended.

Changelog:
v4:
- Rebased onto mainline after tpm-buf memory-safe allocation changes were
merged
- Resolved the resulting merge conflicts

v3:
- Exclude the preparatory clean up patch as the problem has been addressed
in commit 9ec4175a30eb ("KEYS: trusted: Debugging as a feature")

v2:
- Exclude the bug-fix patch as it has already been applied to 6.19-rc7
- Rename instances of trusted_tpm_options from tpm_opts to private
- Use pr_debug and KERN_DEBUG for logging debug messages (preparatory clean
up patch)
- Address other minor comments from Jarkko
