I think the sandbox is correct and makes sense to only send well constructed
commands to the TPM. So my RFC patch breaking the sandbox is clearly wrong.
I still do believe that both interfaces (/dev/tpm and /dev/tpmrm) should be
consistent if possible though. In other words, I don't see the value of not
behaving as expected by the spec if this doesn't have security implications
as is the case with the approach suggested by Jason. And the implementation
for sending the synthesized response is also trivial.
The other option that's fixing this in user-space will be a workaround, since
it would either be to check for TPM_RC_SUCCESS instead of TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE
or make the SAPI library infer that a -EINVAL error means that a command isn't
supported and return a TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE to the caller.
For completeness, I'll share my patch implementing what Jason suggested, even
when is quite likely that Jarkko won't like it since he has a strong opinion
on this:

Subject: [RFCv2 PATCH] tpm: return a TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE response if command
isn't implemented
According to the TPM Library Specification, a TPM device must do a command
header validation before processing and return a TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE code
if the command is not implemented.
So user-space will expect to handle the response cods as error. But if the
in-kernel resource manager is used (/dev/tpmrm?), an -EINVAL errno code is
returned instead if the command isn't implemented. This confuses userspace
since it doesn't expect that error value.
This also isn't consistent with the behavior when not using TPM spaces and
accessing the TPM directly (/dev/tpm?). In this case, the command is sent
to the TPM even when implemented and userspace gets an error from the TPM.
Instead of returning an -EINVAL errno code when the tpm_validate_command()
function fails, synthesize a TPM command response so userspace can get a
TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE as expected when a chip doesn't implement the command.

Changes since RFCv1:
- Don't send not validated commands to the TPM, instead return a synthesized
response with the correct TPM return code (suggested by Jason Gunthorpe).
