We don't traditionally enable kernel config options for functionality that we have no intention (or capacity) to natively support in Fedora. Seeing as how Fedora has no plans to utilize TPM, I don't think we should take this action, as it would merely imply a level of support for this functionality that we will not be able to provide. Given that users who wish to use INTEL_TXT will need to make other customizations to their system environment in order to use it, I don't see why they can't make a custom kernel to go with it. I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be enabling "dead code" chunks at random, especially not in situations like this where the primary use is to encourage vendor utilization of closed source binary blobs or trusting a hardware vendor in matters of encryption. ~spot _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
