Hey everyone,

The current kernel configs generate

# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is not set
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA256 is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA384 is not set
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA512=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA3_256 is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA3_384 is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA3_512 is not set
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_HASH="sha512"

With https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2802

we can strengthen the module signing algorithm to CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA3_512.

I'd like to do this before Fedora40, as it will be the basis of centos-stream-10 and RHEL10.

Thoughts or concerns?

P.

I took a closer look at this and there doesn't appear to be an issue with doing this in the kernel. Build times and boot times seem consistent before and after the change.

However, depmod (from kmod) needs an update if we make this change. The current fedora version of kmod, -31, segfaults in the modules_install target. I ran the latest upstream version of kmod and AFAICT that works.

I will wait for kmod to be updated to at least version -32 and then request that we change the module signing algorithm to SHA3_512, unless there any objections.
