This allows programs to interact with a TPM in a container +the same way they interact with a TPM on the physical system. Each +container gets its own unique, emulated, software TPM. + + +DESIGN +------ + +To make an emulated software TPM available to each container, the container +management stack needs to create a device pair consisting of a client TPM +character device /dev/tpmX (with X=0,1,2...) and a 'server side' file +descriptor. The former is moved into the container by creating a character +device with the appropriate major and minor numbers while the file descriptor +is passed to the TPM emulator. Software inside the container can then send +TPM commands using the character device and the emulator will receive the +commands via the file descriptor and use it for sending back responses. + +To support this, the virtual TPM proxy driver provides a device /dev/vtpmx +that is used to create device pairs using an ioctl. The ioctl takes as +an input flags for configuring the device. The flags for example indicate +whether TPM 1.2 or TPM 2 functionality is supported by the TPM emulator. +The result of the ioctl are the file descriptor for the 'server side' +as well as the major and minor numbers of the character device that was created. +Besides that the number of the TPM character device is return. If for +example /dev/tpm10 was created, the number (dev_num) 10 is returned. + +The following is the data structure of the TPM_PROXY_IOC_NEW_DEV ioctl: + +struct vtpm_proxy_new_dev { + __u32 flags; /* input */ + __u32 tpm_num; /* output */ + __u32 fd; /* output */ + __u32 major; /* output */ + __u32 minor; /* output */ +}; + +Note that if unsupported flags are passed to the device driver, the ioctl will +fail and errno will be set to EOPNOTSUPP. Similarly, if an unsupported ioctl is +called on the device driver, the ioctl will fail and errno will be set to +ENOTTY. + +See /usr/include/linux/vtpm_proxy.h for definitions related to the public interface +of this vTPM device driver. + +Once the device has been created, the driver will immediately try to talk +to the TPM. All commands from the driver can read from the file descriptor +returned by the ioctl. The commands should be responded to immediately. + +Depending on the version of TPM the following commands will be sent by the +driver: + +- TPM 1.2: + - the driver will send a TPM_Startup() command to the TPM emulator + - the driver will send commands to read the command durations and + interface timeouts from the TPM emulator +- TPM 2: + - the driver will send a TPM2_Startup() command to the TPM emulator + +The TPM device /dev/tpmX will only appear if all of the relevant commands +were responded to properly.
