Hi Eric,
I've been milling around on this patch-set for a while and I have a few issues
with the description of the commit and what the code actually does.
efi_mokvar_entry_find doesn't simply read an UEFI variable as the commit message
suggests, it will look for the MOK variable loaded into the EFI configuration
table. This implies we need this table setup in early boot to take usage of this
patch set.
The only bootloader that does setup this table, is the `shim` as described. But
no other bootloader implements support for the MOK EFI configuration table.
This effectively means that there is still no way for Machine Owners to load
keys into the keyring, for things like module signing, without the shim present
in the bootchain. I find this a bit weird.
Is this an intentional design decision, or could other ways be supported as
well?
