Tested the following four patches ov v12 with and with out setting 
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS

Tested-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com>


1. With CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS set to a key

# grep pem .config
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS="certs/kernel.pem"
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY="certs/signing_key.pem"
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="certs/rhel.pem"

# grep 
"CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS\|INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING\|SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST" 
.config
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS="certs/kernel.pem"
# CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST is not set

# cat /proc/keys | grep platform
0a7a11a9 I------     1 perm 1f0b0000     0     0 keyring   .platform: 1

# keyctl show %keyring:.platform
Keyring
  175772073 ---lswrv      0     0  keyring: .platform
  519271447 ---lswrv      0     0   \_ asymmetric: IBM Corporation: 
Guest Secure Boot Imprint Kernel Signing Key: 
a0cf9069c30875320cb10a77325d4fa7012f8d12


2. With out CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS set, leaving empty

# grep pem .config
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY="certs/signing_key.pem"
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="certs/rhel.pem"

# grep 
"CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS\|INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING\|SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST" 
.config
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS=""
# CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST is not set

# cat /proc/keys | grep platform
39c749b9 I------     1 perm 1f0b0000     0     0 keyring   .platform: empty

# keyctl show %keyring:.platform
Keyring
  969361849 ---lswrv      0     0  keyring: .platform
