This patch series refactors the sign-file program. Brief of changes in this patch series: - Improve argument parsing logic. - Add few more easy to remember arguments. - Add support to sign bunch of modules at once. - Improve the help message with examples. - Few trivial checkpatch reported issue fixes. - Divide the modules_install task into sub tasks Version 8 changes: - Addressed comments from Masahiro Yamada - Fix the bisect'ability error in patch 2. - Fix missed out modules_sign_only issue. Version 7 changes: - Change Makefile.modinst and divide the tasks further - Don't do everything from one place. - This whole thing is done to facilitate bulk signing of modules - Greg suggsted this idea here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2023060155-mustard-mating-32b7@gregkh/ - Thanks for the inputs Greg - v7-0008-kbuild-modinst-do-modules_install-step-by-step.patch is fairly big and I'm sorry about it. I created all patches considering build stability in mind, so this can't be broken into pieces else in the intermediate commit build will break. Version 6 changes: - Fix commit messages as suggested by Greg and David. Version 5 changes: - Addressed review comments from David Howells. - Fragmented the patches into further small units.
