[ Upstream commit 047d4226b0bca1cda5267dc68bc8291cce5364ac ]
When rngd is run as root then lots of these types of message will appear
in the kernel log if the TPM has been configured to provide random bytes:
[ 7406.275163] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_recv: error -4
The issue is caused by the following call that is interrupted while
waiting for the TPM's response.
sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd);
Rather than waiting for the response in the low level driver, have it use
the polling loop in tpm_try_transmit() that uses a command's duration to
poll until a result has been returned by the TPM, thus ending when the
timeout has occurred but not responding to signals and ctrl-c anymore. To
stay in this polling loop extend tpm_ibmvtpm_status() to return
'true' for as long as the vTPM is indicated as being busy in
tpm_processing_cmd. Since the loop requires the TPM's timeouts, get them
now using tpm_get_timeouts() after setting the TPM2 version flag on the
chip.
To recreat the resolved issue start rngd like this:
sudo rngd -r /dev/hwrng -t
sudo rngd -r /dev/tpm0 -t
