[PATCH v3] tpm: Opt-in in disable PCR integrity protection

Wed Nov 13 00:24:07 UTC 2024
The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity
protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance
bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations.
In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel
command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity
protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

v3:
- Please test this too ;-) I did quick testing only.
- Fixed the reported glitches and mistakes.
v2:
- Followed Mimi's suggestions.
