No. The boot_params->secure_boot parameter exists whether or not efi_main() is traversed (ie. if EFI isn't enabled or CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n) and, if not cleared, is of uncertain value. Further, sanitize_boot_params() has to be modified by this patch so as not to clobber the secure_boot flag. > What's the distinction between the unset and unknown enums? unset -> The flag was cleared by head.S and efi_get_secureboot() was never called. unknown -> efi_get_secureboot() tried and failed to access the EFI variables that should give the state.
