[PATCH 15/15] MODSIGN: Always enforce module signing in a Secure Boot environment

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Mon Jan 28 2013 - 11:57:38 EST


From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a machine is booted into a Secure Boot environment, we need to
protect the trust model. This requires that all modules be signed
with a key that is in the kernel's _modsign keyring. The checks for
this are already done via the 'sig_enforce' module parameter. Make
this visible within the kernel and force it to be true.
