Pull tpm updates from Jarkko Sakkinen:
 "This contains two critical bug fixes and support for obtaining TPM
  events triggered by ExitBootServices().

  For the latter I have to give a quite verbose explanation not least
  because I had to revisit all the details myself to remember what was
  going on in Matthew's patches.

  The preboot software stack maintains an event log that gets entries
  every time something gets hashed to any of the PCR registers. What
  gets hashed could be a component to be run or perhaps log of some
  actions taken just to give couple of coarse examples. In general,
  anything relevant for the boot process that the preboot software does
  gets hashed and a log entry with a specific event type [1].

  The main application for this is remote attestation and the reason why
  it is useful is nicely put in the very first section of [1]:

     "Attestation is used to provide information about the platform’s
      state to a challenger. However, PCR contents are difficult to
      interpret; therefore, attestation is typically more useful when
      the PCR contents are accompanied by a measurement log. While not
      trusted on their own, the measurement log contains a richer set of
      information than do the PCR contents. The PCR contents are used to
      provide the validation of the measurement log."

  Because EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.GetEventLog() is not available after calling
  ExitBootServices(), Linux EFI stub copies the event log to a custom
  configuration table. Unfortunately, ExitBootServices() also generates
  events and obviously these events do not get copied to that table.
  Luckily firmware does this for us by providing a configuration table
  identified by EFI_TCG2_FINAL_EVENTS_TABLE_GUID.

  This essentially contains necessary changes to provide the full event
  log for the use the user space that is concatenated from these two
  partial event logs [2]"

[1] https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/pc-client-specific-platform-firmware-profile-specification/
[2] The final concatenation is done in drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/efi.c

  tpm: Don't duplicate events from the final event log in the TCG2 log
  Abstract out support for locating an EFI config table
  tpm: Fix TPM 1.2 Shutdown sequence to prevent future TPM operations
  efi: Attempt to get the TCG2 event log in the boot stub
  tpm: Append the final event log to the TPM event log
  tpm: Reserve the TPM final events table
  tpm: Abstract crypto agile event size calculations
  tpm: Actually fail on TPM errors during "get random"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
