Subject: [PATCH 1/1] efi/libstub: tpm: zero initialize pointer variables for mixed mode
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 14:09:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180313140922.17266-2-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180313140922.17266-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
As reported by Jeremy, running the new TPM libstub code in mixed mode
(i.e., 64-bit kernel on 32-bit UEFI) results in hangs when invoking
the TCG2 protocol, or when accessing the log_tbl pool allocation.
The reason turns out to be that in both cases, the 64-bit pointer
variables are not fully initialized by the 32-bit EFI code, and so
we should take care to zero initialize these variables beforehand,
or we'll end up dereferencing bogus pointers.
