A new MOK variable called MokListTrustedRT has been introduced in shim.
When this UEFI variable is set, it indicates the end-user has made the
decision themself that they wish to trust MOK keys within the Linux
trust boundary. It is not an error if this variable does not exist. If
it does not exist, the MOK keys should not be trusted within the kernel.
MOK variables are mirrored from Boot Services to Runtime Services. When
shim sees the new MokTML BS variable, it will create a new variable
(before Exit Boot Services is called) called MokListTrustedRT without
EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE set. Following Exit Boot Services, UEFI
variables can only be set and created with SetVariable if both
EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS & EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE are set.
Therefore, this can not be defeated by simply creating a MokListTrustedRT
variable from Linux, the existence of EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE will cause
uefi_check_trust_mok_keys to return false.
