[PATCH 0/4] tpm_tis: fix interrupts (again)

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

 



The current state of the TIS TPM is that interrupts have been globally
disabled by various changes.  The problems we got reported the last
time they were enabled was interrupt storms.  With my own TIS TPM,
I've found that this is caused because my TPM doesn't do legacy
cycles, The TIS spec (chapter 6.1 "Locality Usage Per Register")
requires any TIS TPM without legacy cycles not to act on any write to
an interrupt register unless the locality is enabled.  This means if
an interrupt fires after we relinquish the locality, the TPM_EOI in
the interrupt routine is ineffective meaning the same interrupt
triggers over and over again.  This problem also means we can have
trouble setting up interrupts on TIS TPMs because the current init
code does the setup before the locality is claimed for the first time.

James Bottomley (4):
  tpm_tis: Clean up locality release
  tpm_tis: Fix interrupts for TIS TPMs without legacy cycles
  tpm_tis: fix IRQ probing
  Revert "tpm: Revert "tpm_tis_core: Turn on the TPM before probing
    IRQ's""
