This comment thing is a good idea, but its also a bit confusing... it took me
quite a while to work out what was missing. Could we phrase it something like:
"Support for PE file signature verification disabled!"
This tells us its about PE files, and its probably a missing config option
somewhere, not some code that hasn't been written yet. (which was my first
assumption!).
KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG presumably turns on just the IMA verification, which verifies
the Image, but not in the same way as KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.... (if I've
understood it properly) Is there any reason to have these as separate enables?
Couldn't we 'select SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION if EFI' in KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG?
This would mean there is one option to verify signatures, instead of two...
(does it really depend on EFI?)
Thanks,
James
