Hi Ferry,

CC'ing mailing list and Yauheni who worked on fixing modinfo output in
the last release.

Not showing the output on older versions is a known issue: support for
PKCS#7 sig type was
only added to kmod in v23.

Now for the incorrect info, the problem appears to be in the kernel
implementation:
it appends a PKCS#7, but doens't fill out the struct module_signature
correctly. So in F27 I get this from, e.g.
soundcore.ko:

$ xxd -c 8 -g 1 mod.ko | tail -n6
00004d80: b9 d5 04 00 00 02 00 00  ........   <<<<<<
00004d88: 00 00 00 00 00 02 d3 7e  .......~
00004d90: 4d 6f 64 75 6c 65 20 73  Module s
00004d98: 69 67 6e 61 74 75 72 65  ignature
00004da0: 20 61 70 70 65 6e 64 65   appende
00004da8: 64 7e 0a                 d~.

See line marked above. It should match a struct module_signature. So:
id_type =3D=3D 0x2 // PKCS7
hash =3D=3D 0 // md4
algo =3D=3D 0 // dsa

Looking at scripts/sign-file.c, indeed id_type is the only field that
is filled out.
CC'ing  David Howells as well. Any input here?
