[PATCH v2] KEYS: trusted: allow module init if TPM is inactive or deactivated

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Fri Aug 02 2019 - 11:11:24 EST


Commit c78719203fc6 ("KEYS: trusted: allow trusted.ko to initialize w/o a
TPM") allows the trusted module to be loaded even a TPM is not found to
avoid module dependency problems.

However, trusted module initialization can still fail if the TPM is
inactive or deactivated. This patch ignores tpm_get_random() errors in
init_digests() and returns -EFAULT in pcrlock() if the TPM didn't return
random data.
