Hi Mimi,

TL;DR: thank you for comments, I update commit message.
Details below.

SLES kernel got it.

I see, it got backported to v5.4 (LTS).

FYI shell API doesn't have yet support for hint for commits to backport
(my TODO: #700 [1]). Once it's implemented, I'll add 20c59ce010f8 as this tag.

Yes, I meant in my description this LTP legacy ima_boot_aggregate.c.
Test does not require evmctl for SHA1 hash.

So maybe:
Although recent evmctl is recommended, for older kernels and TPMs
which support only SHA1 is still used the legacy ima_boot_aggregate.c
(no evmctl update required).

No, that's meant for IMA TPM-bypass (test1). Because we only check zero.
Both TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 require evmctl for reading PCR-10 (test2).
So just a note for * detecting IMA TPM-bypass mode.

Thanks a lot for patient review and info.

Kind regards,
