Subject: [PATCH v7 00/12] Streamline TPM2 HMAC sessions

This patch set contains accumulated patches, which gradually improve 
TPM2 HMAC session management and TPM driver memory management.

RNG test
========

I run this test both TPM1 and TPM2 chips using QEMU and swtpm:

#!/bin/sh

ctrl_c() {
  kill -15 $TEST_PID
  echo 0 > tracing_on
  echo nop > current_tracer
  echo > kprobe_events
  echo > set_ftrace_filter
  echo BYE
  exit
}

trap ctrl_c EXIT INT
mount -t tracefs none /sys/kernel/tracing

set -e

cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo function > current_tracer
echo p:tpm_get_random tpm_get_random > kprobe_events
echo tpm_get_random > set_ftrace_filter
echo 1 > tracing_on
TEST_PID=$(cat /dev/hwrng > /dev/null &)
echo > trace
cat trace_pipe &
sleep 10

Change Log
==========

v7:
- Updated cover letter to match better the current state of the patch
  set.
v6:
- OK, so I decided to send one more update with managed allocations
  moved to the tail so that it does not block reviewing more trivial
  patches.
- Trimmed some of the patches and improved commit messages.
v5:
- I decided to add the managed allocation patch to this and take it from
  the master branch for the time being, as it needs more eyes despite
  having already one reviewed-by tag (especially tested-by tags).

Jarkko Sakkinen (12):
  KEYS: trusted: Use get_random-fallback for TPM
  KEYS: trusted: Use get_random_bytes_wait() instead of tpm_get_random()
  tpm2-sessions: Define TPM2_NAME_MAX_SIZE
  KEYS: trusted: Open code tpm2_buf_append()
  KEYS: trusted: Remove dead branch from tpm2_unseal_cmd
  KEYS: trusted: Re-orchestrate tpm2_read_public() calls
  tpm2-sessions: Remove AUTH_MAX_NAMES
  tpm: Orchestrate TPM commands in tpm_get_random()
  tpm: Change tpm_get_random() opportunistic
  tpm-buf: Merge TPM_BUF_BOUNDARY_ERROR and TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW
  tpm-buf: Implement managed allocations
  tpm-buf: Remove tpm_buf_append_handle
