Add support for the TCG2 event log on UEFI systems

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

 



There are several complexities associated with handling the crypto-agile
log format from TPM2 systems on UEFI platforms. The first is that each
log entry may be of variable length, necessitating parsing the log
in-kernel to determine its length. The second is that the log is kept in
boot services memory (which is reclaimed by the OS after
ExitBootServices() is called), but ExitBootServices() may introduce
additional log entries. These additional log entries are added to a
separate log which should then be merged into the initial log.

This patchset makes the existing support for calculating TPM events more
general (in order to allow it to be used from the EFI boot stub), adds
support for copying up crypto agile logs from the boot environment to
the running kernel and adds support for merging the final events log
into the initial events log.
