Our efi_tcg2_tagged_event is not defined in the EFI spec, but it is not a local invention either: it was taken from the TCG PC Client spec, where it is called TCG_PCClientTaggedEvent. Note that this spec also contains some guidance on how to populate it, which is not being followed closely at the moment; it claims that the event size should cover the TCG_PCClientTaggedEvent and its payload only, but it currently covers the preceding efi_tcg2_event too. However, this directly contradicts the TCG EFI protocol specification, which states very clearly that the event size should cover the entire data structure, including the leading efi_tcg2_event_t struct. So rename the struct and document its provenance, but retain the existing logic to populate the size field.

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.
