Subject: [PATCH v9 0/4] Multi-instance vTPM proxy driver

The following series of patches implements a multi-instance vTPM 
proxy driver that can dynamically create TPM 'server' and client device
pairs.

Using an ioctl on the provided /dev/vtpmx, a client-side vTPM device
and a server side file descriptor is created. The file descriptor must
be passed to a TPM emulator. The device driver will initialize the
emulated TPM using TPM 1.2 or TPM 2 startup commands and it will read
the command durations from the device in case of a TPM 1.2. The choice
of emulated TPM device (1.2 or 2) must be provided with a flag in
the ioctl.

The patches are based on a recent checkout of Jarkko's tree (master branch).

v8->v9:
 - move constant from public header into tpm_vtpm_proxy.c
 - Replaced VTPM_PROXY_MAGIC in ioctl definition with its value (0xa1)
 - Check for the STATE_OPEN_FLAG in wait_event_interruptable and after
   returning from it

v7->v8:
 - minor tweaks on the documentation
 - Reordered function calls in the VTPM proxy driver's server side release
   function so that a client holding the 'ops' lock releases it before the
   driver tries to grab the lock when unregistering the device.

v6->v7:
 - Adjusted name of driver to tpm_vtpm_proxy from tpm_vtpm. Adjust function
   names, names of structures, and names of constants.
 - Adjusted IOCTL to use magic 0xa1 rather than the completely used 0xa0.
 - Extended driver documentation and added documentation of ioctl.
 - Moved test program to own project (dropped patch 11).

v5->v6:
 - Adapted errno's for unsupported flags and ioctls following Jason's
   comments

v4->v5:
 - Introduced different error codes for unsupported flags and ioctls
 - Added documentation patch


Stefan Berger (4):
  tpm: Introduce TPM_CHIP_FLAG_VIRTUAL
  tpm: Proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated TPMs
  tpm: Initialize TPM and get durations and timeouts
  tpm: Add documentation for the tpm_vtpm device driver
