The patch simply replaces all msleep function calls with usleep_range calls in the generic drivers. Tested with an Infineon TPM 1.2, using the generic tpm-tis module, for a thousand PCR extends, we see results going from 1m57s unpatched to 40s with the new patch. We obtain similar results when using the original and patched tpm_infineon driver, which is also part of the patch. Similarly with a STM TPM 2.0, using the CRB driver, it takes about 20ms per extend unpatched and around 7ms with the new patch. Note that the PCR consistency is untouched with this patch, each TPM has been tested with 10 million extends and the aggregated PCR value is continuously verified to be correct. As an extension of this work, this could potentially and easily be applied to other vendor's drivers. Still, these changes are not included in the proposed patch as they are untested.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
