Subject: [d-kernel] [PATCH v2 4/6] efi: Lock down the kernel if booted in secure boot mode
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 11:25:37 +0300
Message-ID: <20260527082539.2000966-5-egori@altlinux.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527082539.2000966-1-egori@altlinux.org>

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

UEFI Secure Boot provides a mechanism for ensuring that the firmware
will only load signed bootloaders and kernels.  Certain use cases may
also require that all kernel modules also be signed.  Add a
configuration option that to lock down the kernel - which includes
requiring validly signed modules - if the kernel is secure-booted.
