Subject: [PATCH] tpm: return false from tpm_amd_is_rng_defective on non-x86 platforms

tpm_amd_is_rng_defective is for dealing with an issue related to the
AMD firmware TPM, so on non-x86 architectures just have it inline and
return false.

Sanity check, this was the right patch, right?

I'll apply it.

Sorry, I've been dealing with a family health issue the past week. It wasn't clear
to me why chip->ops was null when I first took a look, but I think I understand
now looking at it again this morning. The stack trace shows it in the device_shutdown() path:

[ 34.381674] NIP [c0000000009db1e4] tpm_amd_is_rng_defective+0x74/0x240

So I think what happened is:

device_shutdown -> dev->class->shutdown_pre (tpm_class_shutdown) // clears chip->ops
-> dev->bus->shutdown (vio_bus_shutdown) -> vio_bus_remove -> viodrv->remove (tpm_ibmvtpm_remove) -> tpm_chip_unregister -> tpm_amd_is_rng_defective -> oops!


I guess anything that gets called in the tpm_chip_unregister path
should be doing a check of chip->ops prior to using it. So I think
Mario's patch would still be a good thing to have.

Regards,
Jerry

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

So what's the way forward now? It sounded like Jarkko wanted to apply
the patch from this thread days ago, but that didn't happen afaics. Then
below message showed up, but Marios patch also wasn't applied.

Is this intentional, or did something somewhere fall through the cracks?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

I haven't seen any update to Jarkko's repo.

My patch resolves the immediate issue being seen on the ppc system,
and was mostly just me asking why even go through this amd specific
code on non-x86 systems.

The vio bus shutdown code only does the remove call when kexec is in
progress. The pnp and platform bus type shutdown calls do not do
something similar so maybe the check in Mario's patch isn't needed,
but I don't think it would hurt to have it in there.

Regards,
Jerry
