Subject: [PATCH v12 17/22] appended signatures: Read default db keys from the ELF Note
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:57:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922092814.39630-18-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250922092814.39630-1-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com>
If secure boot is enabled with dynamic key management mode and the
use_static_keys flag is set, then read the static keys as a db default
keys from the GRUB ELF Note and add them into the db list.
