Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: trusted: Protocol debugging as a feature
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:00:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323090047.632499-1-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)

TPM_DEBUG is a non-standard way to specify a feature in Linux kernel.
Introduce CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS_DEBUG, and use it to replace TPM_DEBUG in
TPM 1.x trusted keys.

Given that protocol bus could contain sensitive data, harden the feature as
follows:

1. In the  Kconfig description postulate that pr_debug() statements must be
   used.
2. Use pr_debug() statements in TPM 1.x driver to print the protocol dump.

Traces can be enabled e.g., by providing trusted.dyndbg='+p' for the kernel
command-line.
