Description Javier Martinez Canillas 2017-09-18 11:12:59 UTC
Description of problem:

QEMU isn't able to access TPM devices so virtual machines using these as pass-through devices fail to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-3.13.1-280.fc27.noarch

How reproducible:

Easy to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Virtual Machine in virt-manager
2. Choose the machine and View -> Details -> Add Hardware -> TPM -> Finish
3. Power on the virtual machine

Actual results:

The machine doesn't start because QEMU fails due not having access to the TPM device. 

Expected results:

The virtual machine should start.

Additional info:

SELinux is preventing qemu-kvm from 'read, write' accesses on the chr_file /dev/tpm0.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that qemu-kvm should be allowed read write access on the tpm0 chr_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'qemu-kvm' --raw | audit2allow -M my-qemukvm
# semodule -X 300 -i my-qemukvm.pp

It works if the the local policy module mentioned above is generated or if SELinux is changed to permissive mode.
