PCR mismatch is one common cause of TPM key unsealing fail. Since the
system may be compromised, it is not safe to boot into OS to get the PCR
values and TPM eventlog for the further investigation.
To provide some hints, GRUB now dumps PCRs on policy fail, so the user
can check the current PCR values. PCR 0~15 are chosen to cover the
firmware, bootloader, and OS.
The sample output:
PCR Mismatch! Check firmware and bootloader before typing passphrase!

error: failed to unseal sealed key (TPM2_Unseal: 0x99d).
error: no key protector provided a usable key for luks (af16e48f-746b-4a12-aae1-c14dcee429e0).
If the user happens to have the PCR values for key sealing, the PCR dump
can be used to identify the changed PCRs and narrow down the scope for
closer inspection.
Please note that the PCR dump is trustworthy only if the GRUB binary is
authentic, so the user has to check the GRUB binary thoroughly before
using the PCR dump.
