Subject: [d-kernel] [PATCH v2 3/6] efi: Add an EFI_SECURE_BOOT flag to indicate secure boot mode
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 11:25:36 +0300
Message-ID: <20260527082539.2000966-4-egori@altlinux.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527082539.2000966-1-egori@altlinux.org>
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
UEFI machines can be booted in Secure Boot mode. Add an EFI_SECURE_BOOT
flag that can be passed to efi_enabled() to find out whether secure boot is
enabled.
Move the switch-statement in x86's setup_arch() that inteprets the
secure_boot boot parameter to generic code and set the bit there.
