Removing IFX0102 from tpm_tis was not a right move because both tpm_tis
and tpm_infineon use the same device ID. Revert the commit and add a
remark about a bug caused by commit 93e1b7d42e1e ("[PATCH] tpm: add HID
module parameter").

<title>tpm_tis_spi: Prefer async probe</title>

<content type='text'>
On a Chromebook I'm working on I noticed a big (~1 second) delay
during bootup where nothing was happening.  Right around this big
delay there were messages about the TPM:

[    2.311352] tpm_tis_spi spi0.0: TPM ready IRQ confirmed on attempt 2
[    3.332790] tpm_tis_spi spi0.0: Cr50 firmware version: ...

I put a few printouts in and saw that tpm_tis_spi_init() (specifically
tpm_chip_register() in that function) was taking the lion's share of
this time, though ~115 ms of the time was in cr50_print_fw_version().

Let's make a one-line change to prefer async probe for tpm_tis_spi.
There's no reason we need to block other drivers from probing while we
load.

NOTES:
* It's possible that other hardware runs through the init sequence
  faster than Cr50 and this isn't such a big problem for them.
  However, even if they are faster they are still doing _some_
  transfers over a SPI bus so this should benefit everyone even if to
  a lesser extent.
* It's possible that there are extra delays in the code that could be
  optimized out.  I didn't dig since once I enabled async probe they
  no longer impacted me.

<title>tpm: ibmvtpm: Wait for ready buffer before probing for TPM2 attributes</title>

The tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl() call will result in TPM commands being issued,
which will need the use of the internal command/response buffer.  But,
we're issuing this *before* we've waited to make sure that buffer is
allocated.

This can result in intermittent failures to probe if the hypervisor / TPM
implementation doesn't respond quickly enough.  I find it fails almost
every time with an 8 vcpu guest under KVM with software emulated TPM.

To fix it, just move the tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tlb() call after the
existing code to wait for initialization, which will ensure the buffer
is allocated.

<title>tpm_tis_spi: Don't send anything during flow control</title>

<id>eac9347d932b96c09f089ac0673ebe588983e59b</id>
<content type='text'>
During flow control we are just reading from the TPM, yet our spi_xfer
has the tx_buf and rx_buf both non-NULL which means we're requesting a
full duplex transfer.

SPI is always somewhat of a full duplex protocol anyway and in theory
the other side shouldn't really be looking at what we're sending it
during flow control, but it's still a bit ugly to be sending some
"random" data when we shouldn't.

The default tpm_tis_spi_flow_control() tries to address this by
setting 'phy-&gt;iobuf[0] = 0'.  This partially avoids the problem of
sending "random" data, but since our tx_buf and rx_buf both point to
the same place I believe there is the potential of us sending the
TPM's previous byte back to it if we hit the retry loop.

Another flow control implementation, cr50_spi_flow_control(), doesn't
address this at all.

Let's clean this up and just make the tx_buf NULL before we call
flow_control().  Not only does this ensure that we're not sending any
"random" bytes but it also possibly could make the SPI controller
behave in a slightly more optimal way.

NOTE: no actual observed problems are fixed by this patch--it's was
just made based on code inspection.

<content type='text'>
It has been reported that some TIS based TPMs are giving unexpected
errors when using the O_NONBLOCK path of the TPM device. The problem
is that some TPMs don't like it when you get and then relinquish a
locality (as the tpm_try_get_ops()/tpm_put_ops() pair does) without
sending a command.  This currently happens all the time in the
O_NONBLOCK write path. Fix this by moving the tpm_try_get_ops()
further down the code to after the O_NONBLOCK determination is made.
This is safe because the priv-&gt;buffer_mutex still protects the priv
state being modified.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

<title>tpm: eventlog: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

Also, the following issue shows up due to the flexible-array member
having incomplete type[4]:

drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c: In function ‘tpm2_bios_measurements_start’:
drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c:54:46: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘u8[]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’}
   54 |  size = sizeof(struct tcg_pcr_event) - sizeof(event_header-&gt;event)
      |                                              ^
drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c: In function ‘tpm2_bios_measurements_next’:
drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c:102:10: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘u8[]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’}
  102 |    sizeof(event_header-&gt;event) + event_header-&gt;event_size;
      |          ^
drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c: In function ‘tpm2_binary_bios_measurements_show’:
drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.c:140:10: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘u8[]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’}
  140 |    sizeof(event_header-&gt;event) + event_header-&gt;event_size;
      |          ^
scripts/Makefile.build:266: recipe for target 'drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.o' failed
make[3]: *** [drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/tpm2.o] Error 1

As mentioned above: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and
so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original
implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] As
in "sizeof(event_header-&gt;event) always evaluated to 0, so removing it
has no effect".

Lastly, make use of the struct_size() helper to deal with the
flexible array member and its host structure.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
