Additional data length in the attestation request is an in/out variable. Software provides the capacity of the buffer. Upon successful request, firmware reports the actual bytes written to the additional data in that field. This information is lost, as the length field was not copied back to userspace before. Attestation might fail, if user space did not specify the exact amount of needed bytes required, as this length is part of the attestation measurement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
