Subject: [PATCH v12 01/35] Add boot-certs to s390-ccw-virtio machine type option
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 16:48:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701204922.1320349-2-zycai@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701204922.1320349-1-zycai@linux.ibm.com>
Introduce a new `boot-certs` machine type option for the s390-ccw-virtio
machine. This allows users to specify one or more certificate file paths
or directories to be used during secure boot.
Each entry is specified using the syntax:
boot-certs.<index>.path=/path/to/cert.pem
Multiple paths can be specify using array properties:
boot-certs.0.path=/path/to/cert.pem,
boot-certs.1.path=/path/to/cert-dir,
boot-certs.2.path=/path/to/another-dir...

+Secure IPL Command Line Options
+-------------------------------
+
+The s390-ccw-virtio machine type supports secure IPL. These parameters allow
+users to provide certificates and enable secure IPL directly via the command
+line.
+
+Providing Certificates
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The certificate store can be populated by supplying a list of X.509 certificate
+file paths or directories containing certificate files on the command-line:
+
+Note: certificate files must have a .pem extension.
