By now, everybody knows we have a problem with the TPM2_RS_PW easy
button on TPM2 in that transactions on the TPM bus can be intercepted
and altered.  The way to fix this is to use real sessions for HMAC
capabilities to ensure integrity and to use parameter and response
encryption to ensure confidentiality of the data flowing over the TPM
bus.

This patch series is about adding a simple API which can ensure the
above properties as a layered addition to the existing TPM handling
code.  This series now includes protections for PCR extend, getting
random numbers from the TPM and data sealing and unsealing.  It
therefore eliminates all uses of TPM2_RS_PW in the kernel and adds
encryption protection to sensitive data flowing into and out of the
TPM.

In the third version I added data sealing and unsealing protection,
apart from one API based problem which means that the way trusted keys
were protected it's not currently possible to HMAC protect an authority
that comes with a policy, so the API will have to be extended to fix
that case

In this fourth version, I tidy up some of the code and add more
security features, the most notable is that we now calculate the NULL
seed name and compare our calculation to the value returned in
TPM2_ReadPublic, which means we now can't be spoofed.  This version
also gives a sysfs variable for the null seed which userspace can use
to run a key certification operation to prove that the TPM was always
secure when communicating with the kernel.

I've verified this using the test suite in the last patch on a VM
connected to a tpm2 emulator.  I also instrumented the emulator to make
sure the sensitive data was properly encrypted.

I would consider sending first a patch set that would iterate the existing
session stuff to be ready for this i.e. merge in two iterations 
(emphasis on the word "consider"). We can probably merge the groundwork
quite fast.

I realise we're going to have merge conflicts on the later ones, so why
don't we do this: I'll still send as one series, but you apply the ones
you think are precursors and I'll rebase and resend the rest?

Works for me and now I think after yesterdays dicussions etc. that this
should be merged as one series.
