[PATCH] tpm: require to compile as part of the kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Do not allow to compile TPM core as a module. TPM defines a root of
trust for integrity and keyring subsystems and should be always
available and not be loaded from the user space. There is no a
reasonable use case for a loadable module existing.
