The following set of patches add vtpm-stubdom, a vtpm mini-os domain. They also add vtpmmgrdom, a mini-os domain for the vtpm manager. Also included are number of bug fixes to the original vtpm system, some mini-os enhancements, and a few new pieces of software ported to the stubdom build structure. Xen vtpms are now robust and stable and there are many ways to use them: vtpmd (dom0 process) and vtpm_manager (dom0 process) vtpm-stubdom (domain) and vtpm_manager (dom0 process) vtpm-stubdom (domain) and vtpmmgrdom (domain) Domains communicate using the paravirtualized tpmfront and tpmback drivers. Ports of these drivers from linux have been written for mini-os. Also included is a tpm hardware driver for mini-os for the vtpm manager domain to talk directly to the hardware tpm and bypass dom0. These patches do not require the previous set of vtpm patches I submitted back in august that were not included into xen. In those previous patches I had a rudimentary method of disabling certain features in mini-os so vtpms would not have unnecessary drivers like network and pci. Since there was debate on the implementation this has not been included. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
