[PATCH] tpm: fixes uninitialized allocated banks for IBM vtpm driver

[PATCH] tpm: fixes uninitialized allocated banks for IBM vtpm driver

[Nayna Jain]

The nr_allocated_banks and allocated banks are initialized as part of
tpm_chip_register. Currently, this is done as part of auto startup
function. However, some drivers, like the ibm vtpm driver, do not run
auto startup during initialization. This results in uninitialized memory
issue and causes a kernel panic during boot.

This patch moves the pcr allocation outside the auto startup function
into tpm_chip_register. This ensures that allocated banks are initialized
in any case.

Fixes: 879b589210a9 ("tpm: retrieve digest size of unknown algorithms with
PCR read")

It is missing. Michal is there a chance you could try this out once
Nayna send a new version?

Why that name and not tpm_get_pcr_allocation()? Do not get why
"get_" has been dropped. Please add it back.

Would be senseful to create tpm1_get_pcr_allocation() to tpm1-cmd.c
now that a new function needs to be introduced anyway. Please do
it for that for TPM 1.x part.

Should be easy to test. Without the patch the machine crashes on boot
so it is quite obvious case. I have a few VMs with the vTPM available.

Hey, I saw Michal's tested-by. I can do that minor reorg cosmetic

The old code where you lifted this from said:

out:
     if (rc > 0)
         rc = -ENODEV;
     return rc;

It would not overwrite -ENOMEM with -ENODEV but yours does.

I think the correct fix would be to use:

if (rc > 0)

     rc = -ENODEV;

Above this is tpm_chip_stop(chip) because (afaik) none of the following 
function calls in tpm_chip_register() needed the TPM, but now with 
tpm_pcr_allocation() you will need to send a command to the TPM. So I 
would say you should move the tpm_chip_stop() into the error branch 
visible above and also after the tpm_pcr_allocation().

I am not sure of the purpose of tpm_stop_chip(), so I have left it as it 
is. Jarkko, what do you think about the change ?

Stefan right. Your does not work, or will randomly work or not work
depending on the chip.

You need to turn the TPM on with tpm_chip_start() and turn it off with
tpm_chip_stop() once you are done. This is done in tpm_chip_register()
before calling tpm_auto_startup().

TPM power management was once in tpm_transmit() but not anymore after my
patch set that removed nested tpm_transmit() calls.

While you're on it please take into account my earlier feedback.

Also, short summary could be "tpm: tpm_ibm_vtpm: Fix unallocated banks"

Some oddballs in your patch that I have to ask.

if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2) {
	rc = tpm2_get_pcr_allocation(chip);
	if (rc)
		goto out;
}

chip->allocated_banks = kcalloc(1, sizeof(*chip->allocated_banks),
		GFP_KERNEL);
if (!chip->allocated_banks) {
	rc = -ENOMEM;
	goto out;
}

Why you don't return on site and instead jump somewhere? Also the
2nd line for kcalloc() is misaligned.

out:
	if (rc < 0)
		rc = -ENODEV;

This will cause a new regression i.e. you let TPM error codes
through.

To summarize this patch fixes one regression and introduces two
completely new ones...
