Hi All,
While testing 5.3-rc2 on an Irbis TW90 Intel Cherry Trail based
tablet I noticed that it does not boot on this device.
A git bisect points to commit 166a2809d65b ("tpm: Don't duplicate
events from the final event log in the TCG2 log")
And I can confirm that reverting just that single commit makes
the TW90 boot again.
This machine uses AptIO firmware with base component versions
of: UEFI 2.4 PI 1.3. I've tried to reproduce the problem on
a Teclast X80 Pro which is also CHT based and also uses AptIO
firmware with the same base components. But it does not reproduce
there. Neither does the problem reproduce on a CHT tablet using
InsideH20 based firmware.
Note that these devices have a software/firmware TPM-2.0
implementation, they do not have an actual TPM chip.
Comparing TPM firmware setting between the 2 AptIO based
tablets the settings are identical, but the troublesome
TW90 does have some more setting then the X80, it has
the following settings which are not shown on the X80:
Active PCR banks: SHA-1 (read only)
Available PCR banks: SHA-1,SHA256 (read only)
TPM2.0 UEFI SPEC version: TCG_2 (other possible setting: TCG_1_2
Physical Presence SPEC ver: 1.2 (other possible setting: 1.3)
I have the feeling that at least the first 2 indicate that
the previous win10 installation has actually used the
TPM, where as on the X80 the TPM is uninitialized.
Note this is just a hunch I could be completely wrong.
I would be happy to run any commands to try and debug this
or to build a kernel with some patches to gather more info.
Note any kernel patches to printk some debug stuff need
to be based on 5.3 with 166a2809d65b reverted, without that
reverted the device will not boot, and thus I cannot collect
logs without it reverted.
Are you booting a 64-bit kernel on 32-bit firmware?
Yes you are right, I must say that this is somewhat surprising
most Cherry Trail devices do use 64 bit firmware (where as Bay Trail
typically uses 32 bit). But I just checked efibootmgr output and it
says it is booting: \EFI\FEDORA\SHIMIA32.EFI so yeah 32 bit firmware.
Recent Fedora releases take care of this so seamlessly I did not
even realize...
OK, so we'll have to find out how this patch affects 64-bit code
running on 32-bit firmware. The only EFI call in that patch is
get_config_table(), which is not actually a EFI boot service call but
a EFI stub helper that parses the config table array in the EFI system
table.
Ok, the problem indeed is the new get_efi_config_table() helper, it
does not make any calls, but it does interpret some structs which
have different sized members depending on if the firmware is 32 or 64 bit.
I've prepared a patch fixing this which I will send out after this mail.
Regards,
Hans
