Subject: [PATCH v12 29/35] pc-bios/s390-ccw: Handle true secure IPL mode
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 16:49:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701204922.1320349-30-zycai@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701204922.1320349-1-zycai@linux.ibm.com>
When secure boot is enabled (-secure-boot on) and certificate(s) are
provided, the boot operates in True Secure IPL mode.
Any verification error during True Secure IPL mode will cause the
entire boot process to terminate.
Secure IPL in audit mode requires at least one certificate provided in
the key store along with necessary facilities. If secure boot is enabled
but no certificate is provided, the boot process will also terminate, as
this is not a valid secure boot configuration.
Note: True Secure IPL mode is implemented for the SCSI scheme of
virtio-blk/virtio-scsi devices.
