Regression between Linux 3.16 and 4.8/4.9 on Lenovo X60 with coreboot

Regression between Linux 3.16 and 4.8/4.9 on Lenovo X60 with coreboot

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Linux folks,


Currently, TPM support is added to the coreboot project for the Lenovo 
X60 [1].

Unfortunately, there seems to have been a regression between Linux 3.16 
and 4.8 and 4.9, so that the Linux kernel doesn’t create the TPM device.

```
$ more /proc/version Linux version 3.16.0-4-686-pae 
(debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) 
#1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07)
$ journalctl -k -o cat | grep -i tpm
tpm_tis 00:08: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3202, rev-id 5)
tpm_tis 00:08: Issuing TPM_STARTUP
```

The device `/dev/tpm0` is present.

Here are the results with Linux 4.8.15.

```
kernel: [    0.000000] Linux version 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae 
(debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) 
#1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-2~bpo8+2 (2017-01-17)
[…]
kernel: [   11.302522] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -5
kernel: [   11.302598] tpm_tis 00:08: Could not get TPM timeouts and 
durations
```

Remove module and run `sudo modprobe tpm_tis itpm=1 force=1`.

```
kernel: [   35.024386] tpm_tis tpm_tis: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3202, rev-id 5)
kernel: [   49.160752] tpm_tis 00:08: can't request region for resource 
[mem 0xfed40000-0xfed44fff]
kernel: [   49.160865] tpm_tis: probe of 00:08 failed with error -16
```

And here with Linux 4.9.13.

```
kernel: [ 7.813547] tpm_tis 00:08: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3202, rev-id 5)
kernel: [ 7.891026] tpm tpm0: Issuing TPM_STARTUP
kernel: [ 8.042783] tpm tpm0: Unable to read burstcount
kernel: [ 8.042893] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -16
kernel: [ 8.042900] tpm_tis 00:08: Could not get TPM timeouts and duration
```

If I am not mistaken, the error code 16 is for the macro `EBUSY`.

It’d be great, if the TPM would also be created in the newer Linux 
Kernel versions, so that Debian users can upgrade to the upcoming stable 
release, which ships Linux 4.9.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to bisect the commit introducing the 
regression. Could you please tell me how to debug, why the burstcount 
cannot be read.


Kind regards,

Paul

That old kernel did not check error codes when reading burst count,
the new one does. It is quite possible the older kernel is failing to
read burst count and subtly malfunctioning.

It would be helpful if you could prove/disprove this statement by
adding some debugging to 3.16.

As to why the burst count cannot be read.. I don't know, check if
increasing the retries helps, it could be this particular TPM is out
of spec for the cold startup process.

Is this really an 'itpm'? It doesn't look like it..

GNUtoo got the messages below. Unfortunately, I don’t know, what Linux 
Kernel that is.

```

Could you please help me with that? Can I enable certain options to get 
more debugging information?

How can I increase the retry count?

Sorry, I don’t know. Leaving that out, gives the same messages though.

```
tpm tpm0: Unable to read burstcount

tpm_tis tpm_tis: Could not get TPM timeouts and durations

How did this work on any kernels if there was no PNP or ACPI entry?

FWIW, I wonder if coreboot is missing the code for wait_startup
in drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c. If you don't do that step then
the DID/VID might not read properly.

Unless it is an actual broken intel TPM you should never use
itpm=1. Juding by the log messages, it certainly is not.

Intel mode breaks the driver and removes certain error detection, eg
it may erronously succeed.

It is more likely that the failure to read PCRs reflects reality and
itpm=1 just supresses that error detection.

The TPM may need to be setup (eg cleared, EK generated, p/vflags setup
etc, etc) before it will support PCRs.

Usually the BIOS would do these steps when the TPM is first enabled,
you probably need to do them in userspace instead.

WARNING: Failure to provision the TPM properly before first use
could leave it in 'factory test' mode, which basically means it
doesn't work properly at all.

Don't do this unless it is actually that TPM.

I'll come back to this. I have to re-read the whole mail thread to

No, it is quite a bit older.. And it should only go for TPM2, which I
don't think you have??

Maybe Jarkko has a guess, but sure sounds like something is recently
broken in 4.11

Is it correct, that this is added in/for 4.11, so just recently? Testing 
with Linux 4.10.8, everything is detected just fine.

If nothing comes to mind with the new information above, then I could do 
that. But I don’t know, if I’ll have time in the next two weeks for 
that.

There could be more relavent kernel messages than this, try
  grep -i tpm

?

We added direct ACPI binding to the driver in addition to PNP, so if
you have an ACPI table it goes down that path and does some additional
validation of what is in the TPM. The BIOS must provide a
acpi_dev_resource_memory and a ACPI_SIG_TPM2 for the ACPI entry at a
minimum.

There are FW_BUG prints if those fail, so check your dmesg closely?

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis.c#L250

If not, can you annotate in some printk's into tpm_tis_acpi_init and
recompile/re-test?

Unfortunately I can't help here as I am just a normal TPM user who
happened to hit and fix that timeouts regression, but maybe others
on ML will know something more about it.

Indeed, that improves the situation. I still need to pass `force=1` to

So do you have an idea, what “ACPI requirements” changed in the `tpm`

Kind regards,

This looks like a regression I had on ThinkPad X61S.

You can try with a patch from the following commit
which fixed it for me:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1d70fe9d9c3a4c627f9757cbba5d628687b121c1

It is included in mainline kernel 4.10.2.
