Title:
  Ubuntu-LE lpar won't boot with vTPM enabled

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Ubuntu-LE lpar on PowerVM system doesn't boot when vTPM is enabled.
  It will fail to boot, showing B200A101 reference code on the HMC.

  Without vTPM, the lpar boots up just fine.

  [Fix]
  commit 84eb186bc37c0900b53077ca21cf6dd15823a232 upstream (not in v3.19)

  [Test Case]
  Boot system with vTPM enabled, ensure system doesn't fail to boot.

  --
  Here is the console output when attempting to activate the lpar with vTPM enabled after which it fails to boot:

  Enter Number of Running Partition (q to quit): 24

      Opening Virtual Terminal On Partition br13p29 . . .

  These are the patches needed, base on the error I see from the bug
  report.  However, please note that I have not tested them to confirm.

  > http://sourceforge.net/p/tpmdd/mailman/message/32960386/

  This was accepted upstream.  However, as you mentioned that you
  couldn't find it in the 3.19, I'll have to follow up with you on this.

  > http://sourceforge.net/p/tpmdd/mailman/message/33351549/

  This one is in the process of getting accepted.  It was just reviewed,
  but I need reformat the patch to resubmit it.

  >Hmm, if it was accepted before 3.19 it should appear in 3.19, unless it was reverted, which doesn't seem to be the case.
  Right, it "should" appear in 3.19, but not necessarily.  In this case, the patch wouldn't be available in the 3.19 kernel.  The TPM maintainers bundled the vtpm patch with many others and somehow missed the last merge window in submitting to Linus.  They had then resubmitted a pull request on Jan 17, 2015.  Therefore, the patch will be available in 3.20 instead.

  The fix is now available in the git repository at:
  https://github.com/PeterHuewe/linux-tpmdd/commit/84eb186bc37c0900b53077ca21cf6dd15823a232
