When loading certificates list from UEFI variable, the original error message direct shows the efi status code from UEFI firmware. It looks ugly: [ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT [ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list So, this patch shows the status string instead of status code. On the other hand, the error message of EFI_NOT_FOUND (0x800000000000000e) doesn't need to be exposed because kernel already prints "Couldn't get UEFI..." message. This patch also filtered out it.
