I validated a firmware event log taken from a Power 8 against PCR 0-7 
values for the SHA-1 and SHA-256 banks from a Nuvoton TPM 2.0 chip on 
that same platform.

Jarkko, I hope now these patches can be accepted for 4.11.

I already sent my pull request to 4.11 and even today I found something
fishy. You declared a function local array by using a variable in "tpm:
enhance TPM 2.0 PCR extend to support multiple banks" (max_active_banks
or something). And the event log patches have just passed the review. 

I've applied them to my tree but I'll only include bug fixes for 4.11
pull requests. You'll have to wait till' 4.12.

Yes. I have checked using clang and it has passed the clang.. and I also 
verified there were no complains during build.

What type of problem do you see ?

Also, to understand, this is related to multi-bank patchset. I mean how 
does it affect for event log patchset ?

What we can deduce from that is that they didn't expose the issue in
question.

I found this by running sparse with make C=2 M=drives/char/tpm

> What type of problem do you see ?

It is disallowed to do stack allocation in the kernel code even if C
standard would allow it. Stack is scarce resource so you need to know
its usage at compile time.

In this case you actually know the allocation because the value is not
changed during the course of the function but it is still bad. Probably
compiler will optimize it out. Still it is not a good practice.

Well in both cases these have landed fairly late but I asked from James
whether I'll have to postpone these to 4.12.

Usually when I've sent my release pull request I do not want to make any
radical changes to the codebase because they always require extra QA and
thus take extra time.

Thanks Jarkko for explaining it.

Hmm, do you want me to send a patch for this ?
I think what we want is actually define it just array of size as 7.

No but please test my tree and check that it still works.

rc = tpm_transmit_cmd(chip, buf.data, tpm_buf_length(&buf), 0, 0,
		      "attempting extend a PCR value");

This should be

rc = tpm_transmit_cmd(chip, buf.data, PAGE_SIZE, 0, 0,
		      "attempting extend a PCR value");

The second parameter is the size of the buffer, not length of the input
data.

I'll update this...

As a sanity check can you test these commits and see if they still
work for you as I've done now some updates to them? Thanks.

James,

The discussion is about two features:

1. Extension to tpm_pcr_extend() (used by IMA) to extend all PCR banks
   instead of just SHA-1 banks. It is recommended by TCG to do so in
   order to prevent malicious use of PCRs.
2. TPM 2.0 event log with backend support for OF device tree (for
   getting address where you can grab it).

These are required as baseline to implement full TPM 2.0 support for
IMA. The commits are fairly well baked and went through many iterations.
I've tested tpm_pcr_extend() patches. I haven't tested event log patches
but have extensively reviewed them and Ken Goldman has tested them with
POWER hardware.

I don't believe that there is major risk to put them already into 4.11
but it is fairly late so I just want a second opinion before putting
them into pull request.

I have some small scoped bug fixes that I will send to you in any case
(unrelated to this work).

James,

The discussion is about two features:

1. Extension to tpm_pcr_extend() (used by IMA) to extend all PCR banks
   instead of just SHA-1 banks. It is recommended by TCG to do so in
   order to prevent malicious use of PCRs.
2. TPM 2.0 event log with backend support for OF device tree (for
   getting address where you can grab it).

These are required as baseline to implement full TPM 2.0 support for
IMA. The commits are fairly well baked and went through many iterations.
I've tested tpm_pcr_extend() patches. I haven't tested event log patches
but have extensively reviewed them and Ken Goldman has tested them with
POWER hardware.

I don't believe that there is major risk to put them already into 4.11
but it is fairly late so I just want a second opinion before putting
them into pull request.

I have some small scoped bug fixes that I will send to you in any case
(unrelated to this work).

I'll take this for 4.11.  IMA + TPM 2.0 is still developmental and not in 
wide use, afaik.

Great! I'll prepare the pull request tomorrow (it's now 12:30AM in
Finland). Thank you.

Thank you!   FYI, I've been running with them as well.

OK, so can I also add your Tested-by to these four commits?

I provided Ken with the firmware event log, IMA measurement list, and
the PCRs for testing.   Ken's tested-by is fine.  Missing is Stefan's
tested-by - https://sourceforge.net/p/tpmdd/mailman/message/35602588/
I would really appreciate your adding his tested-by.

thanks,

Mimi

Thanks. This explains it. I got Naynas response before I got this one.
That's why it went unnoticed.
