Re: [Xen-devel] Compile Xen with VTPM support



Hi Matthew,

As a rough approximation, when are you planning to submit the new vtpm implementation? In the new coming weeks, months, year?

And, is this new vtpm going to be linked to the physical tpm of the machine or is going to be totally independent of it?

Best,
Jordi

The current (old) vtpm implementation still sort of works. You have to
use xm and find a linux kernel with the tpmfront and tpmback drivers. I
believe the original xen 2.6.18 kernel has them. There may or may not be
newer kernels with these drivers.

docs/misc/vtpm.txt should have everything you need to use it.

That being said I'm in the process of submitting my new vtpm
implementation. So keep an eye on that activity if you're interested.

Dear all,

I am trying to compile Xen 4.2.0 with VTPM support. The documentation
available inside Xen is from 2006. I am wondering if the current steps
to enable VTPM support are the same written in the documentation or they
have changed.

Is it enough with setting the "--enable-vtpm" argument during the
configure process? Furthermore, at that time Xen was providing the Linux
Kernel as part of its sources. Have the current kernels to be patched to
include the Xen VTPM drivers? If it is the case, where can we find the
patches?

Thank you in advance!
Jordi.
