From: Arun Menon <[email protected]>

- Add subsection in VMState for TPM CRB with the newly introduced
     command and response buffer GByteArrays, along with a needed callback,
     so that newer QEMU only sends the buffers if it is necessary.
- Implement a migration blocker to prevent migration of the VM if the
     user manually enables chunking capability, cap-chunk, but the machine
     type does not support it, using a new hw_compat property called
     allow_chunk_migration.
- Add a post_load_errp hook so that during a migration, the buffers are
     validated before destination VM is started.

Could this happen that this state type is resumed but the buffers are not
allocated?

Yes, this is not required. Its just a defense. The tpm_realize()
function should allocate the command and response buffers.

The check is correct but can this particular case occur other than through
crafted input?

Not that I can think of. The check is indeed added to address malicious
migration stream / crafted input.

I think that devices are assuming trusted input for all devices resumed from
their previously stored state...

I see. Shall I remove these two checks at the beginning and keep only
the last one?

I think so. For the last one I think you should write a description what role the external emulator can play here.

I suppose this could happen if I was running with a PQC-enable swtpm/libtpms
and suspended at the right moment that when a chunked command or response
was in the buffer and now I am trying to resume with a non-PQC-enabled swtpm
that only has 4kb buffer, while the newer PQC one had 8kb buffer.


Yes. This check is for safety. We do not want to migrate to a VM that
has a tpm backend that does not support big buffers.
