No worries, thanks for looking that up.

Great, thanks for that. There is a module that exposes the EfiTcg2Protocol
(TrEEDxe). So I'm going to assume this is properly located and then called.
Unfortunately, this is so early in the boot that we can only rely on the
EFI functions for logging/debugging.

Jeremy, Hans, could you both describe precisely how your boot is
configured? This feature is only triggered when booting the EFI stub of the
kernel so this may be not executed if you are using something else in
between.

Jeremy, would you be able to modify the efi_retrieve_tpm2_eventlog_1_2
function to add multiple efi_printk(sys_table_arg, "message\n"); to test:
if you get the output on your screen; and isolate which call might be the
cause of the hang?
I can forward a debug patch if that helps.

Thanks
