There are a few things that worry me about the idea: - It adds complexity in crypto (or crypto-adjacent) code, and that increases the likelihood that we'll accidentally add a bug with bad consequences. - Under what circumstances would would we change the kernel-visible behaviour of skiboot? Are we expecting to change the behaviour, content or names of the variables in future? Otherwise the only relevant change I can think of is a change to hardware platforms, and I'm not sure how a change in hardware would lead to change in behaviour in the kernel. Wouldn't Skiboot hide h/w differences? - If we are worried about a long-term-future change to how secure-boot works, would it be better to just add more get/set calls to opal at the point at which we actually implement the new system? - UEFI added EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATION_3 in a way that - as far as I know - didn't break backwards compatibility. Is there a reason we cannot add features that way instead? (It also dropped v1 of the authentication header.) - What is the correct fallback behaviour if a kernel receives a result that it does not expect? If a kernel expecting BackendV1 is instead informed that it is running on BackendV2, then the cannot access the secure variable at all, so it cannot load keys that are potentially required to successfully boot (e.g. to validate the module for network card or graphics!)
