[PATCH V5 2/4] tpm: Reserve the TPM final events table

I may be a little late with this comment, but I've just tested these
patches on aarch64 platform (from the top of jjs/master) and got
kernel panic ("Unable to handle kernel read", full log at the end of
mail). I think there's problem with below call to
tpm2_calc_event_log_size(), where physical address of efi.tpm_log is
passed as (void *) and never remapped:

> +       tbl_size = tpm2_calc_event_log_size(final_tbl->events,
> +                                           final_tbl->nr_events,
> +                                           (void *)efi.tpm_log);

This is later used to get efispecid:

>         efispecid = (struct tcg_efi_specid_event_head *)event_header->event;

It seems event_header is not mapped during dereference. This is
somewhat expected, because it comes from different, already unmapped
memory region (region of initial TPM log) than "event" itself (which
comes from TPM final log).

Also, value passed as size_info shouldn't be pointing to
linux_efi_tpm_eventlog with its size and version fields, but to the
first event (header event) within. I tried with log_tbl->log and it
worked fine (I omitted unmapping part). On the other hand, with bare
log_tbl it still fails. Not sure how does it even work on other
platforms.

One more thing that's not clear for me – shouldn't the value returned
from early_memremap be used for further accesses? Throughout
__calc_tpm2_event_size() "mapping" is only checked for being zero.
When it is, you're still unmapping it – is it correct?

> +       while (count > 0) {
> +               header = data + size;
> +               event_size = __calc_tpm2_event_size(header, size_info, true);
> +               if (event_size == 0)
> +                       return -1;
> +               size += event_size;
> +       }

Loop condition here is always true, by the way.

One information about my setup – I'm working with below local diff to
enable operation on ARM:
