Merge branch 'next-tpm' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull tpm updates from James Morris: - Clean up the transmission flow Cleaned up the whole transmission flow. Locking of the chip is now done in the level of tpm_try_get_ops() and tpm_put_ops() instead taking the chip lock inside tpm_transmit(). The nested calls inside tpm_transmit(), used with the resource manager, have been refactored out. Should make easier to perform more complex transactions with the TPM without making the subsystem a bigger mess (e.g. encrypted channel patches by James Bottomley). - PPI 1.3 support TPM PPI 1.3 introduces an additional optional command parameter that may be needed for some commands. Display the parameter if the command requires such a parameter. Only command 23 (SetPCRBanks) needs one. The PPI request file will show output like this then: # echo "23 16" > request # cat request 23 16 # echo "5" > request ...
