[PATCH] tpm: Add sysfs interface to show TPM hardware version

[PATCH] tpm: Add sysfs interface to show TPM hardware version

[Meng.Li]

From: Limeng <Meng.Li@windriver.com>

So far, there is not a sysfs interface for user space code to
check the TPM hardware version(TPM1.x or TPM2). So, add a
file named description in /sys/class/tpm/tpmX/ to show it.

It's not really the hardware version but the "TPM Family" according to tcg.

And yes you are right there is currently no way, except for trial and error, for the userspace to determine this.
So an interface to get this information makes sense to me.

In practice, I suspect that a single user space application won't
support both TPMs.  It will send the first command, get an error
response code that says it's the wrong TPM, and exit.

Note that, although there is no overlap in the command API, the packet
format is compatible enough that a meaningful response can be returned.

Think of init scripts.
Which daemon should it start?

Think of init scripts.
Which daemon should it start?

Right, ideally we'd have a udev rule that triggers systemd to start
the userspace daemons when a TPM is detected, as other hardware does.

So whatever format we use has to be compatible with udev's matcher..

Technically, we have that already: my TPM2.0 detection stuff for udev
triggers off the presence of the SUBSYSTEM=="tpmrm"  that matches any
TPM2 device but not a 1.x one.

but long term tpmrm won't be TPM2 exclusive..
