2022-01-09	lib: remove redundant assignment to variable ret	Colin Ian King	1	-2/+0
	Variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read. If the for-loop is entered then ret is immediately re-assigned a new value. If the for-loop is not executed ret is never read. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.

2021-04-14	lib: Add ASN.1 encoder	James Bottomley	1	-0/+454
	We have a need in the TPM2 trusted keys to return the ASN.1 form of the TPM key blob so it can be operated on by tools outside of the kernel. The specific tools are the openssl_tpm2_engine, openconnect and the Intel tpm2-tss-engine. To do that, we have to be able to read and write the same binary key format the tools use. The current ASN.1 decoder does fine for reading, but we need pieces of an ASN.1 encoder to write the key blob in binary compatible form. For backwards compatibility, the trusted key reader code will still accept the two TPM2B quantities that it uses today, but the writer will only output the ASN.1 form. The current implementation only encodes the ASN.1 bits we actually need.
