[PATCH] efi/x86: Expose number of entries in the EFI configuration table via sysfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently Linux exposes the physical address of the EFI configuration table via
sysfs, but not the number of entries.

The number of entries for the EFI configuration table is located in the EFI
system table and the EFI system table is not exposed, so there is no way for
a userspace application to reliably navigate the EFI configuration table.

One potential use case for such a userspace program would be a monitoring agent,
which parses Image Execution Information Table from the EFI configuration table
and reports all the UEFI executables, which have been denied execution due to
the enforced Secure Boot policy thus providing intrusion detection capabilities.
