Hello,

I was wrong. Linux CUSE is extension of FUSE while FreeBSD CUSE has totally different implementation, so it can not be used by swtpm. As swtpm has control and server channels, I suppose we need both. To start both:

# swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/ctrl --tpm2 --log level=20 --server type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/server

Now to initialize it one should run

# swtpm_ioctl --unix /tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock -i

If -i is replaced with --stop, swtpm is stopped. Now if I understand correctly, init function of bhyve should do -i, deinit should do --stop. If that's correct, I will start implementing init and for now ignore deinit. As swtpm is BSD licenced, I think it is OK for us to reuse parts of swtpm_ioctl code. Anyway, if I'm wrong about anything, please point it out.

I managed to initialize the swtpm by butchering swtpm_ioctl code and creating this: https://bsd.to/Dq7c. I know that for bhyve it's not viable to include from port, but at this point I just want to make some progress and then I'll see how to properly do it. As swtpm is BSD-3-Clause licensed, we should probably import it to base, but I'll worry about that part when at least something starts working.

To make it easier to progress, I created repository for my TPM playground: https://github.com/mekanix/tpmplay. The code currently somewhat resembles tpm_emul_passthru.c. It implements init, deinit and ctrlcmd. I'm confused a bit because swtpm has two sockets, one for control one for data. Looking at tpm_emul_passthru.c I can see one fd is used for all commands. If I'm correct, TSS is used for data channel: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki/Using-the-IBM-TSS-with-swtpm#socket-interface. How come pass-through doesn't have ctrl/data channels?
