modif: block TPM devices & turn notpm command into keep-dev-tpm

kmk3 · kmk3 · commit 9ae9d8367932 · 2025-04-05T15:49:03.000-03:00
Instead of having a `notpm` command and potentially adding it to almost all profiles (as few programs should need direct access to TPM devices), add a `keep-dev-tpm` command and use it only in profiles that need access to TPM devices. Changes: * Turn `notpm` command into `keep-dev-tpm` command * Warn and ignore if `notpm` is used * Block `/dev/tpm*` devices by default * Allow `/dev/tpm*` devices with `keep-dev-tpm` (even if `private-dev` is used) Added on commit 0013202 ("feature: add notpm command & keep tpm devices in private-dev (netblue30#6390)", 2024-07-09). See also commit ee1c264 ("feature: block /dev/ntsync & add keep-dev-ntsync command (netblue30#6660)", 2025-03-06) and the discussion at PR netblue30#6660. This is a follow-up to netblue30#6687.
