TPM on IBM thinkcenter S51

TPM on IBM thinkcenter S51

[trusted linux]

Hi, 
 
I can't make TPM work on an IBM thinkcenter S51
running 2.6.12-rc5 kernel. Here is what I did:
 
1. build the drivers tpm.ko and tpm_nsc.ko and
modprobe tpm
2. create /dev/tpm
3. build tpm libtcpa (version 1.1)
4. run tcpa_demo 
 
then I got an error "Can't open TPM driver". 
 
I also tried tpm_amtel (though I believe mine is nsc)
and the same error too. 
 
Does anybody experience the same problem and have a
clue? 
 
 
thanks,
 
Gavin,

I'd check with strace first what's going on there. In my case I
had /dev/tpm0 created by udev with libtcpa accessing /dev/tpm. So -
what's the output of 

	strace ./tcpa_demo

??

Torsten,

thanks, here is my strace related to tpm:

open("/dev/tpm", O_RDWR)                = -1 ENODEV
(No such device)
write(2, "Can\'t open TPM Driver\n", 22Can't open TPM
Driver
) = 22

I also inserted some printk in tpm.c and tpm_nsc.c
(tpm_atmel.c as well). I only saw "init_tpm" be
called.  "tpm_open" was not even called!

This machine (IBM thinkcenter S51) has a TPM
(confirmed by IBM support and its own specs). So, the
only possible problem is the driver. Any idea?

thanks a lot,

Gang

Okay, so the driver is in fact not working. It could be that /dev/tpm
has the wrong device number assigned. If the driver is really installed
can be checked by

	systool -c misc|grep tpm

I bet it does not show anything. OTOH if the module loads successfully
it really should be there. No idea what's going wrong then. 

Which version of the driver are you using?

Hi Torsten,

I maintain the driver and am interested in figuring out what this
problem is.  Can you please tell me what the device major/minor are
on /dev/tpm.  Any output produced by the driver in /var/log/messages.
Also the output of /sbin/lspci.  Also I am assuming you are using the
version in the default 2.6.12-rc5.  There are many changes are in the -
mm2 patch so I will pull down the default tree and make sure the version
there is working.

Thanks,
Kylie

Re: TPM on IBM thinkcenter S51

Ok,

I think this patch will fix the driver to find your TPM.  It is just
adding some additional LPC buses to look for so it won't make things any
worse if it doesn't fix the problem.  Please let me know if it works.
If it finds the device it should print a version message in syslog.
Also there should be a tpm0 directory in /sys/classs/misc.  Once you
have that you can try to cat /sys/class/misc/tpm0/device/pcrs.  If that
returns an error please try the next patch I send you and let me know
the results.

Thanks,
Kylie

Re: TPM on IBM thinkcenter S51

[trusted linux]

Kylene and Torsten,

thanks for the help. sorry for the late response - my
machine crashed (for other reasons) and I had to
rebuild it. 

0. I am using 2.6.12-rc5 default driver. 

1. systool -c misc|grep tpm shows nothing. the driver
is not there.

2. here is ll /dev/tpm output: (major 10, minor 224). 

crw-r--r--  1 root root 10, 224 Jun  9 20:11 /dev/tpm

3. when I modprobe tpm and tpm_nsc (or insmod), no
output is printed to /var/log/messages except my own
test message. 

4. /sbin/lspci output:

5. I tried the Kylene's 1st patch. I first got an
error 
patching file as the following:

linux-2.6.12-rc5/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_nsc.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 13: };

then I modified the patch:

 };

And patching works but tpm still doesn't work - tpm0
directory is not created under /sys/class. 

6. I checked tpmdd but the lastest version is for
2.6.11. I guess 2.6.12 should supercede it. 

any idea?

thanks,

Gang

I think this is a misunderstanding. My TPM is working just fine but the
guy I was replying to seems to have some problems.

The old tpm driver (version 2.0) distributed seperately at

  http://www.research.ibm.com/gsal/tcpa/TPM-2.0.tar.gz

did not work for me though. I did not find an obvious problem in it but
noticed there is the tpmdd project on SourceForge and got the driver
from there. That driver is working just fine for me.

Still trying to get a grip on git to track the latest kernel and test
the TPM driver in there. Anyway, the driver I have is working fine. :)
(I am working with an IBM ThinkPad R51 if you care about it).
