Subject: libxl: Do not trust backend for vtpm in getinfo (except uuid)
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d920eaa482d63f92c8a00a710a04e6c0072bc8f6;p=xen.git

libxl: Do not trust backend for vtpm in getinfo (except uuid)

* Do not check the backend for existence.  We have already read the
  /libxl path so know that the vtpm exists (or is supposed to); if the
  backend doesn't exist then that must be the backend's doing.
* Get the frontend path from the /libxl directory.
* The frontend domid is the guest domid, and does not need to be read
  from xenstore (!)

We still attempt to read the uuid from the backend.  This will be
fixed in the next patch.

This is part of XSA-178.
