The first version of the patch set can be retrieved at the URL:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tpmdd/mailman/message/35756302/

The patches should be applied on top of the next branch of
linux-security.git (commit cdac74d).

This patch set updates the TPM driver API for extending Platform
Configuration Registers (PCRs). These are special TPM registers which
cannot be written directly, but can only be updated through the extend
operation, by passing a digest as input:

PCR_value_new = hash_func(PCR_value_old | digest)

While TPM 1.2 can only use SHA1 as hash function, TPM 2.0 can support
multiple algorithms. On a TPM 2.0, PCR values extended with the same
algorithm are stored in a location called bank.

Currently, PCRs can only be extended from the kernel with a SHA1 digest,
through tpm_pcr_extend(). Remaining banks of a TPM 2.0 are extended with
the SHA1 digest padded with zeros. In order to take advantage of stronger
algorithms, the TPM driver should allow TPM users to extend a PCR with
digests calculated with the same algorithm of the PCR bank.

This patch set first introduces a new structure, called tpm_pcr_bank_info,
for storing detailed information about each PCR bank:

- TPM algorithm ID: algorithm identifier, defined by TCG; will be included
  by TPM users (e.g. IMA) in a measurement event log
- digest size: digest size for a TPM algorithm; since this is retrieved
  from the TPM, PCR banks can be extended even if an algorithm is unknown
  for the crypto subsystem (which currently the TPM driver relies on)
- crypto ID: will be used by TPM users to calculate a digest, to extend
  a PCR

Then, the patch set introduces the new function tpm_get_pcr_banks_info(),
to pass the information about PCR banks to TPM users, and finally, modifies
the parameters of tpm_pcr_extend(), so that TPM users can pass multiple
digests.

Given this definition of the tpm2_digest structure:

struct tpm2_digest {
    u16 alg_id;
    u8 digest[SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE];
} __packed;

there will be two methods to extend PCRs:

1) by passing only one tpm2_digest structure containing a SHA1 digest
   (as it is done in the patch 6/6); in this case, the SHA1 digest
   is padded with zeros

2) by calling tpm_get_pcr_banks_info() to obtain PCR banks information,
   and by calling tpm_pcr_extend() with as many tpm2_digest structures as
   the number of tpm_pcr_bank_info structures retrieved in the first step
   (if a digest for a TPM algorithm is missing, the TPM driver
   pads/truncates the first digest provided by the TPM user)

API Usage Examples

In the following examples, an application extends PCR 16 with the digest
of an event (e.g. record of a software measurement), with the methods
described above.

void app_calc_event_digest(struct crypto_shash *tfm, char *event,
                           u8 *digest)
{
    SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK(shash, tfm);

    shash->tfm = tfm;
    shash->flags = 0;

    crypto_shash_init(shash);
    crypto_shash_update(shash, event, strlen(event));
    crypto_shash_final(shash, digest);
}

void app_pcr_extend_method_1(void)
{
    char *event = "application event";
    struct tpm2_digest digestarg = {.alg_id = TPM2_ALG_SHA1};

    /* calculate event digest with current hash algorithm */
    struct crypto_shash *tfm = crypto_alloc_shash("sha1", 0, 0);

    app_calc_event_digest(tfm, event, digestarg.digest);

    /* extend all PCR banks with SHA1 digest*/
    tpm_pcr_extend(TPM_ANY_NUM, 16, 1, &digestarg);
}

void app_pcr_extend_method_2(void)
{
    /* declare static arrays, limit is known */
    struct tpm_pcr_bank_info active_banks[TPM_ACTIVE_BANKS_MAX];
    struct tpm2_digest digest_array[TPM_ACTIVE_BANKS_MAX];
    int i, num_algo;

    /* obtain algorithms supported by the TPM */
    num_algo = tpm_get_pcr_banks_info(TPM_ANY_NUM, active_banks);

    for (i = 0; i < num_algo; i++) {
        char *event = "application event";

        /* calculate event digest with current hash algorithm */
        const char *algo_name = hash_algo_name[active_banks[i].crypto_id];
        struct crypto_shash *tfm = crypto_alloc_shash(algo_name, 0, 0);

        app_calc_event_digest(tfm, event, digest_array[i].digest);
        digest_array[i].alg_id = active_banks[i].alg_id;
    }

    /* extend all PCR banks with calculated digests */
    tpm_pcr_extend(TPM_ANY_NUM, 16, num_algo, digest_array);
}

Changelog

v3

- introduced new structure tpm_pcr_bank_info
- read a PCR to obtain the digest size for each TPM algorithm
- tpm_pcr_algorithms() replaced by tpm_get_pcr_banks_info()

- modification of tpm_pcr_extend() parameters and of callers of the
  function done in the same patch

v2

- tpm_pcr_algorithms() returns supported algorithms also for TPM 1.2
- fixed return values of tpm2_pcr_algo_to_crypto() and
  tpm2_pcr_algo_from_crypto() if TPM support is disabled in the kernel
- tpm_pcr_extend() arguments checked by tpm_pcr_check_input()
- modified parameters of tpm_pcr_extend()
