[PATCH v4] tpm: Add Upgrade/Reduced mode support for TPM2 modules

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

 



If something went wrong during the TPM firmware upgrade, like power
failure or the firmware image file get corrupted, the TPM might end
up in Upgrade or Failure mode upon the next start. The state is
persistent between the TPM power cycle/restart.

According to TPM specification:
 * If the TPM is in Upgrade mode, it will answer with TPM2_RC_UPGRADE
   to all commands except Field Upgrade related ones.
 * If the TPM is in Failure mode, it will allow performing TPM
   initialization but will not provide any crypto operations.
   Will happily respond to Field Upgrade calls.

Change the behavior of the tpm2_auto_startup(), so it detects the active
running mode of the TPM.  It is easy to determine that TPM is in Upgrade
mode by relying on the fact that tpm2_do_selftest() will return
TPM2_RC_UPGRADE. In such a case, there is no point to finish the
start-up procedure as the TPM will not accept any commands, except
firmware upgrade related.

On the other hand, if the TPM is in Failure mode, it will successfully
respond to both tpm2_do_selftest() and tpm2_startup() calls. Although,
will fail to answer to tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl(). Use this fact to
conclude that TPM is in Failure mode.

If the chip is in the Upgrade or Failure mode, the function returns -EIO
error code.

The return value is checked in the tpm_chip_register() call to determine
the state of the TPM. If the TPM is not in normal operation mode, set
the `limited_mode` flag. If the flag is set then the TPM is not able to
provide any crypto functionality.  Correspondignly, the calls to
tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl(), tpm_add_hwrng() and tpm_get_pcr_allocation()
will fail. Use the flag to exclude them from the initialization
sequence.
