Includes only bare essentials but can be extended later on case by case. This way some people may even want to read it later on. Cc: Jonathan Corbet CC: Daniel P.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================= +TPM FIFO interface Driver +========================= + +FIFO (First-In-First-Out) is the name of the hardware interface used by the +tpm_tis_core dependent drivers. The prefix "tis" comes from the TPM Interface +Specification, which is the hardware interface specification for TPM 1.x chips. + +Communication is based on a 5 KiB buffer shared by the TPM chip through a +hardware bus or memory map, depending on the physical wiring. The buffer is +further split into five equal-size buffers, which provide equivalent sets of +registers for communication between the CPU and TPM. These communication +endpoints are called localities in the TCG terminology. + +When the kernel wants to send commands to the TPM chip, it first reserves +locality 0 by setting the requestUse bit in the TPM_ACCESS register. The bit is +cleared by the chip when the access is granted. Once it completes its +communication, the kernel writes the TPM_ACCESS.activeLocality bit. This +informs the chip that the locality has been relinquished. + +Pending localities are served in order by the chip in descending order, one at +a time: + +- Locality 0 has the lowest priority. +- Locality 5 has the highest priority. + +Further information on the purpose and meaning of the localities can be found +in section 3.2 of the TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile Specification. -- 2.44.0
