Subject: [PATCH 2/2] evm: remove TCG_TPM dependency
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 09:08:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314623287-8375-2-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1314623287-8375-1-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

All tristates selected by EVM(boolean) are forced to be builtin, except
in the TCG_TPM(tristate) dependency case. Arnaud Lacombe summarizes the
Kconfig bug as, "So it would seem direct dependency state influence the
state of reverse dependencies.."  For a detailed explanation, refer to
Arnaud Lacombe's posting http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/23/498.

With the "encrypted-keys: remove trusted-keys dependency" patch, EVM
can now be built without a dependency on TCG_TPM.  The trusted-keys
dependency requires trusted-keys to either be builtin or not selected.
This dependency will prevent the boolean/tristate mismatch from
occuring.
