<section>
<title>A protocol for VTPM communications</title>
<para>The protocol defined in this section is to be used with the VTPM as defined in
<xref linkend="sec_virtual_trusted_platform_module" />.
The VTPM provides the services of a TPM device to an associated client partition,
the primary use of a VTPM is to enable software in the partition to perform a
trusted boot.</para>
<para>This protocol is designed to fulfil the following requirements:</para>

<para>Allow client partition to perform RAS operations.</para>

<section>
<title>Protocol Overview</title>
<para>The protocol uses both the CRQ facility and Logical Remote DMA (LRDMA) as defined in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569348_71217"/>
to enable bidirectional data movement between the client partition and VTPM.
The client of the VTPM is required to create a CRQ buffer using information
found in the device tree and for full utilization of the VTPM a TCE mapped
buffer into which it can form TPM commands and receive TPM responses or at
the clients request receive RAS data.</para>
<para>The protocol defines four CRQ message formats, with all formats requiring
byte 0 to be set as per the CRQ architecture. The protocol architects that
byte 1 of all message formats is the “message type” field. The message type
indicates whether the message is a request or a response. All response message
types are the value of the request with the value 0x80 logically ORed.
Note that dependent on error checking the response may be an error message and
not the associated response message. All VTPM message types are listed in
<xref linkend="table_vtpm_message_types" />. The four message formats used by
the VTPM protocol are defined in the following tables:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><xref linkend="table_vtpm_message_format_1" /></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><xref linkend="table_vtpm_message_format_2" /></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><xref linkend="table_vtpm_message_format_3" /></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><xref linkend="table_vtpm_message_format_4" /></para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The CRQ buffer can be considered the VTPM's work queue, the VTPM works
sequentially and serially through messages in the queue. When a message is
de-queued and processed no new messages are processed until a response has
been sent. If the client wishes to have multiple TPM command messages on the
queue then separate TCE mapped buffers are required, the management of the
client partitions TCE buffers is out of the scope of this document.</para>
<para>Once a VTPM is associated with a partition, the VTPM will persist until the
partition is deleted or the VTPM is deleted. The partition can be power-cycled,
hibernated and migrated to a compatible platform without losing VTPM state.
Whilst the partition is operating client code is free to register and free the
CRQ buffer and TCE mapped memory without changing the state of the VTPM.
Client code can utilize this feature to have independent components of an
O/S boot, use the VTPM then perform resource clean-up before handing over
control to a new component without VTPM state being lost. Additionally to the
clients ability to register and free resources the VTPM may at any time also
free and re-register the CRQ if firmware requires this, therefore the client
may receive multiple CRQ initialization messages. Every CRQ initialization
message received by either the VTPM or client is handled as defined in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569348_48491" />.</para>
<para>If the VTPM encounters a critical error and cannot continue without risk
to trust and integrity, the fail state is entered to which no command
rocessing occurs except for a best effort handling of RAS messages.
The fail state is documented in
<xref linkend="sec_vtpm_fail_state" />.</para>

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The operating system instantiates the VTPM device driver, allocates
a buffer for the VTPM CRQ which then TCE-mapped using the VTPM’s TCE table.
Since the VTPM protocol is a command/response protocol, the VTPM device
driver must allocate a CRQ buffer big enough to handle a response for every
command it wishes to have outstanding concurrently with the VTPM with an
allowance for unsolicited CRQ transport events.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The VTPM device driver can now call H_REG_CRQ to register the CRQ buffer.
The call must specify the unit address and IOBA of the CRQ page(s),

<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569348_48491" />.</para>

<para>The VTPM device driver sends either an INITIALIZATION_COMPLETE or an
