[Xen-devel] Re: [Xense-devel] Infineon vtpm problem
Hi
I have checked out the 0.3.2cvs version of trousers and finally get the
tsstest working with very few differences from when it is run under
non-xen host. My previous attempts was on 0.3.1 (stable).
However when run tpm_sealdata, I still get
Tspi_Key_LoadKey failed: 0x00003113 - layer=tsp, code=0113 (275),
Authorization failed.
This reminds me that maybe I am using vtpm wrong way. Is there a
document about how to use vtpm?
Here is what I do from sratch:
1. Clear and reactivate TPM from bios.
2. Run vtpm_managerd in dom0 and let it continue running on console.
3. Boot domU with vif statement in config file.
4. Run tcsd -f on domU and let it continue running on console.
From now on every tpm operation I run on domU returns an error.
Operations tried on domU
1. I tried tpm_takeownership with success (although I see an error on
tcsd -f output, I assume it is normal because I see exact same error
when I run takeownership from non-xen host and actually prove ownership
taken by using sealdata successfully) but when I try tpm_sealdata I get
above error.
2. After starting from scratch, I tried tpm_sealdata without first try
to take ownership. This time there is a different output:
Enter SRK password:
Tspi_Key_CreateKey failed: 0x00000003 - layer=tpm, code=0003 (3), Bad
Parameter
I think I am not able to use vtpm because probably I am not doing the
right sequence of actions on domU. So if there is a document about vtpm
usage, please point me to it.
And here is another question:
I never run tpm_takeownership on dom0. Whenever I start from scratch I
let the vtpm_managerd to take ownership of tpm. However, I do not know
the owner or srk password it uses. When I use vtpm on domU and asked for
the srk pasword, which password should I enter? Also, should I take
ownership of vtpm on domU every time I booted it? How do I save state of
the vtpm for a domain across boots?
Thanks for time.

It is likely that this (v)TPM implementation has quite a few bugs, but
I would not expect that many errors.

This error may be related to older versions of the TPM device driver
having used an ioctl interface for sending/receiving commands to/from
the TPM and the TSS still tries this interface first. This should not
be a reason for the errors you are seeing.

The driver for the built-in Infineon TPM must be built into Domain-0,
the TPM frontend driver in the guest domain and the backend driver
also into Domain-0. This has probably been done correctly since
otherwise the vTPM would not work at all.

Did you try to run the same sequence of comands (tpm commands, test
suite etc.) on a plain Linux kernel with the TSS stack against the
built-in Infineone TPM? From what I remember, the test suite for the
TSS stack either tries to set a specific TPM owner password or it must
previously have been set to it by the user, otherwise many
authentication errors will occur.
