From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e13cd21ffd50a07b55dcc4d8c38cedf27f28eaa1 upstream. tpm_send() does not give anymore the result back to the caller. This would require another memcpy(), which kind of tells that the whole approach is somewhat broken. Instead, as Mimi suggested, this commit just wraps the data to the tpm_buf, and thus the result will not go to the garbage. Obviously this assumes from the caller that it passes large enough buffer, which makes the whole API somewhat broken because it could be different size than @buflen but since trusted keys is the only module using this API right now I think that this fix is sufficient for the moment. In the near future the plan is to replace the parameters with a tpm_buf created by the caller.
