Re: [PATCH 1/3] X.509: Fix certificate gathering again

From: David Howells
Date: Tue May 26 2015 - 12:15:55 EST


Hi Michal,

Could you have a look at the patch at the end of my branch:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=modsign-pkcs7

It changes things from picking up arbitrary *.x509 files dropped in the kernel
source and/or build directory to taking a single named PEM file with all the
additional certs as a string config option. The PEM file can contain multiple
certs simply cat'd together.

If you're okay with that, it obsoletes these patches of yours.

I've attached it here for convenience also.

David

modsign: Add explicit CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS option

Let the user explicitly provide a file containing trusted keys, instead of
just automatically finding files matching *.x509 in the build tree and
trusting whatever we find. This really ought to be an *explicit*
configuration, and the build rules for dealing with the files were
fairly painful too.

+# Usage: $(eval $(call config_filename,FOO))
+#
+# Defines FOO_FILENAME based on the contents of the CONFIG_FOO option,

+# be prefixed to *both* command invocation and dependencies.
+#
+# Note: We also print the filenames in the quiet_cmd_foo text, and
+# perhaps ought to have a version specially escaped for that purpose.
+# But it's only cosmetic, and $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_FOO)) is good
+# enough. It'll strip the quotes in the common case where there's no
+# space and it's a simple filename, and it'll retain the quotes when
+# there's a space. There are some esoteric cases in which it'll print
+# the wrong thing, but we don't really care. The actual dependencies

+# and double quotes, backslashes and spaces in the filenames.
