Subject: [PATCH v4 13/17] module: Report signature type to users
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 13:28:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113-module-hashes-v4-13-0b932db9b56b@weissschuh.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113-module-hashes-v4-0-0b932db9b56b@weissschuh.net>
The upcoming CONFIG_MODULE_HASHES will introduce a signature type.
This needs to be handled by callers differently than PKCS7 signatures.
Report the signature type to the caller and let them verify it.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>
