Thanks a lot for trying out the patch!

Please don't modify your install at this stage, I think we are
hitting a
firmware bug and that would be awesome if we can fix how we are
handling it.
So, if we reach that stage in the function it could either be
that:
* The allocation did not succeed, somehow, but the firmware
still
returned
EFI_SUCCEED.
* The size requested is incorrect (I'm thinking something like a
1G of
log). This would be due to either a miscalculation of log_size
(possible)
or; the returned values of GetEventLog are not correct.
I'm sending a patch to add checks for these. Could you please
apply and
retest?
Again, thanks for helping debugging this.

No problem, thanks for the help :)

With the new patch:

Locating the TCG2Protocol
Calling GetEventLog on TCG2Protocol
Log returned
log_location is not empty
log_size != 0
log_size < 1M
Allocating memory for storing the logs
Returned from memory allocation
Copying log to new location

And then it hangs. I added a couple more print statements:

Thanks. Well, it looks like the memory that is supposedly
allocated
is not
usable. I'm thinking this is a firmware bug.
Ard, would you agree on this assumption? Thoughts on how to
proceed?


I am rather puzzled why the allocate_pool() should succeed and the
subsequent memset() should fail. This does not look like an issue
that
is intimately related to TPM2 support, rather an issue in the
firmware
that happens to get tickled after the change.

Would you mind trying replacing EFI_LOADER_DATA with
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA in the allocate_pool() call?

Replacing EFI_LOADER_DATA with EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA still hangs at
the
memset() call.

mangles it)

Hi Ard,

When I apply this, it starts hanging at

status = efi_call_proto(efi_tcg2_protocol, get_event_log,
tcg2_protocol,
EFI_TCG2_EVENT_LOG_FORMAT_TCG_1_2,
&log_location, &log_last_entry, &truncated);

rather than at the memset() call.


That is *very* surprising, given that the change only affects code
that executes after that.


Hans, you said you configured the tablet to use the 32-bit version of grub
instead
of 64. Why's that?

Jeremy, could you confirm if you are building the kernel in 64bit mode? Is
your Android install working? (that is, what happens if you boot Boot0000)?

I understand how annoying this is for you, and I think we should try
to fix this, but reverting the patches outright isn't the solution
either.

Which UEFI vendor and version does your system report?

You should be able to find this info using the "ver" command in the UEFI
shell.
The UEFI vendor is Insyde (see first message).


Ah, thanks!

EFI Specification Revision : 2.40
EFI Vendor : INSYDE Corp.
EFI Revision : 21573.83


Thiebaud,

If we don't manage to resolve this, do you see any way to blacklist
systems based on this information? Would it be reasonable, say, to
require UEFI v2.5 or later for TPM2 support? Or doesn't that make any
sense (I am aware that the TCG EFI spec and the UEFI spec are somewhat
orthogonal, but it also depends on the hardware you are targetting, I
guess). Otherwise, we could use a more specific match, perhaps?

This is of course depending on whether we reach consensus on whether
we should make any changes at all for what appears to be a single
sample of a certain piece of hardware, where other samples running the
same firmware (right?) are working fine.

Right, I don't think a blacklist is a good idea until we understand the
problem better. Both the hard and firmware of Jeremy's tablet are pretty
generic, so I don't think there is anything special there.

One of the reason why this may work on my tablet of the same model is
because I do use shim (Jeremy does not) + a different grub version,
which perhaps leads to a different memory layout or different parts
of memory being initialized...

Regards,

Hans
