Commit d3bfe84129f6 introduced secondary_trusted_keys keyring, current users of verify_pkcs7_signature are below: net/wireless/reg.c : uses its own trusted_keys kernel/module_signing.c : pass NULL trusted_keys crypto/asymmetric_keys/verify_pefile.c : pass NULL trusted_keys For both module and pefile verification, there is no reason to use builtin keys only. Actually in Fedora kernel module signing code passes 1UL, but kexec code does not pass 1UL for pefile verification thus we have below bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470995 Drop the hard code 1UL checking so that pefile verification can use secondary keyring as well.
