Package: src:linux Version: 4.3.3-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Can you please enable CONFIG_TCG_TPM (TPM security chip) and CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TPM linux kernel config options (as modules), to enable hardware RNG device for use in LDOM (containers) of debian sparc64. Right now, there's no hardware RNG provider is available : $ ls /sys/class/misc/hw_random ls: cannot access /sys/class/misc/hw_random: No such file or directory # grep -i TPM /boot/config-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp # CONFIG_TCG_TPM is not set But if we enable TPM random module (tpm-rng), it will be (output taken from oracle linux for sparc): [root@linuxsparc log]# cat /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_available tpm-rng [root@linuxsparc log]# cat /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_current tpm-rng [root@linuxsparc log]# grep TPM /boot/config-4.1.8-15.1.el6uek.sparc64 CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TPM=y CONFIG_TCG_TPM=y Thanks. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.9.3 (Debian 4.9.3-10) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-2 (2015-12-17) ** Command line: root=/dev/vdiska1 ro ** Not tainted ** Model information cpu : UltraSparc T5 (Niagara5) fpu : UltraSparc T5 integrated FPU pmu : niagara5 prom : OBP 4.38.1 2015/08/21 14:26 type : sun4v ** Loaded modules: camellia_sparc64 des_sparc64 des_generic aes_sparc64 md5_sparc64 sha512_sparc64 sha256_sparc64 sha1_sparc64 autofs4 ext4 crc16 mbcache jbd2 sunvnet sunvdc crc32c_sparc64 ** PCI devices: ** USB devices: not available -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: sparc64 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii initramfs-tools [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.120 ii kmod 21-1 ii linux-base 4.0 Versions of packages linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp recommends: ii firmware-linux-free 3.4 ii irqbalance 1.0.6-3 Versions of packages linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp suggests: pn debian-kernel-handbook <none> pn fdutils <none> pn linux-doc-4.3 <none> ii silo 1.4.14+git20141019-4 Versions of packages linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp is related to: pn firmware-atheros <none> pn firmware-bnx2 <none> pn firmware-bnx2x <none> pn firmware-brcm80211 <none> pn firmware-intelwimax <none> pn firmware-ipw2x00 <none> pn firmware-ivtv <none> pn firmware-iwlwifi <none> pn firmware-libertas <none> pn firmware-linux <none> pn firmware-linux-nonfree <none> pn firmware-myricom <none> pn firmware-netxen <none> pn firmware-qlogic <none> pn firmware-ralink <none> pn firmware-realtek <none> pn xen-hypervisor <none> -- debconf information: linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp: false linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp/postinst/mips-initrd-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp: linux-image-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp/prerm/removing-running-kernel-4.3.0-1-sparc64-smp: true
