You should not do arithmetic with __be32 or __le32 types because sometimes it results incorrect results. Calculations must be done only with integers that are in in the CPU byte order. This commit migrates tpm_getcap() to struct tpm_buf in order to sort out these issues. Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <redacted> Now this should work as Robertos patches move byte order conversion where it should be. Sadly I'm out of reach to my Dell E6400 laptop that I use for TPM 1.2 testing. drivers/char/tpm/tpm-interface.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++-------------- drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h | 13 ------------- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-)I've now tested this with TPM 1.2. Any complains?Seems reasonable, but which linke had the problematic arithmetic? JasonArithmetic should work but it's not a good practice to do additions, substractions or multiplications in any other byte order than the CPU byte order. sparse also complains about this.
Can I get your Reviewed-by for this one? /Jarkko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
