Now the description says that cateogrically all Intel fTPM's fail. I asked for the laptop model in the bugzilla bug, which should be put to the commit description later on (hopefully with a snippet of klog transcript).

It makes absolutely zero sense to send a message to a TPM just to know that you are on AMD CPU, right? E.g. you could check if boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_AMD right in the beginning of this function. BR, Jarkko

If you apply it to everything on an AMD system you catch too much. You need to know it's specifically an AMD fTPM to avoid tripping the stutter bug. Pluton is fine, dTPMs are fine too.

I know they're not production hardware, but still.. For what it's worth, I can confirm that this issue also occurs on an ASUS Z170I motherboard with Intel i3 7100U and an integrated fTPM. If it helps I'm happy to try out the proposed patch -- for now I simply reverted 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for all AMD fTPMs"), which resolved the issue for me. Patrick

I know they're not production hardware, but still.. Kind of sane requirement is to scope on known systems that exists.

Is there a system with CPU recognized as AMD and *firmware* TPM from some 3rd party vendor? If not, then you could also drop tpm2_get_tpm_pt() altogether. BR, Jarkko

The vendor check introduced by commit 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for all AMD fTPMs") doesn't work properly on Intel fTPM. The TPM doesn't reply at bootup and returns back the command code.
