Briefly, Theses set of patches introduces: - new TPM backend driver to support software TPM emulators(swtpm(1)). - and few supported fixes/enhancements/cleanup to existing tpm backend code.
The similar idea was initiated earliar(2) by Stefan Berger(CCed) with slightly different approach, using CUSE. As swtpm has excellent support for unix domain sockets, hence this implementation uses unix domain sockets to communicate with swtpm. When Qemu is configured with 'emulator' tpm backend, it spawns 'swtpm' and communicates its via Unix domain sockets. 1) https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm 2) https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-01/msg00089.html ** Changes in V2: - Made spawnning swtpm optional - used QIOChannel instead of plain unix sockets - incorporated other fixes pointed in v1 review ** Changes in v3: - Addressed review comments made by Stefan Berger and Deniel P Berrange ** Changes in v4: - Moved realloc_buffer() to TIS model - Made TpmInfo related change backwards compatible. ** Changes in v5: - updated Reviewed-By: tag to git commits - added migration blocker to TPM emulator backend Amarnath Valluri (8): tpm-backend: Remove unneeded member variable from backend class tpm-backend: Move thread handling inside TPMBackend tpm-backend: Initialize and free data members in it's own methods tpm-backend: Made few interface methods optional tmp backend: Add new api to read backend TpmInfo tpm-backend: Move realloc_buffer() implementation to tpm-tis model tpm-passthrough: move reusable code to utils tpm: Added support for TPM emulator backends/tpm.c | 117 +++-- configure | 15 +- hmp.c | 27 +- hw/tpm/Makefile.objs | 1 + hw/tpm/tpm_emulator.c | 950 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ hw/tpm/tpm_ioctl.h | 243 ++++++++++ hw/tpm/tpm_passthrough.c | 238 +++------- hw/tpm/tpm_tis.c | 14 +- hw/tpm/tpm_util.c | 25 ++ hw/tpm/tpm_util.h | 4 + include/sysemu/tpm_backend.h | 96 ++-- include/sysemu/tpm_backend_int.h | 41 -- qapi-schema.json | 41 +- qemu-options.hx | 53 ++- tpm.c | 38 +- 15 files changed, 1545 insertions(+), 358 deletions(-) create mode 100644 hw/tpm/tpm_emulator.c create mode 100644 hw/tpm/tpm_ioctl.h delete mode 100644 include/sysemu/tpm_backend_int.h -- 2.7.4
