[PATCH v5] test_firmware: Test platform fw loading on non-EFI systems

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Sep 09 2020 - 22:53:47 EST


On non-EFI systems, it wasn't possible to test the platform firmware
loader because it will have never set "checked_fw" during __init.
Instead, allow the test code to override this check. Additionally split
the declarations into a private symbol namespace so there is greater
enforcement of the symbol visibility.

Fixes: 548193cba2a7 ("test_firmware: add support for firmware_request_platform")

This is split out from the larger kernel_read_file series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200729175845.1745471-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
specifically this was:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200729175845.1745471-2-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

I've dropped the review tags, since this is changing the "how" of the patch...
