Most people are probably on stable releases, but we don't want to update the
minor version all the time, so just specify 256.x as a hint to fill in the
full version.
I very much dislike the approach in which we were mixing Linux and UEFI C code
in the same subdirectory. No code was shared between two environments. This
layout was created in e7dd673d1e0acfe5420599588c559fd85a3a9e8f, with the
justification of "being more consistent with the rest of systemd", but I don't
see how it's supposed to be so.
Originally, when the C code was just a single bootctl.c file, this wasn't so
bad. But over time the userspace code grew quite a bit. With the moves done in
previuos commits, the intermediate subdirectory is now empty except for the
efi/ subdir, and this additional subdirectory level doesn't have a good
justification. The components is called "systemd-boot", not "systemd-efi", and
we can remove one level of indentation.
We have other subdirectories with just a single C file. And I expect
that systemd-measure will only grow over time, adding new functionality.
It's nicer to give its own subdirectory to maintain consistent structure.
Currently in mkosi and ukify we use sbsigntools to do secure boot
signing. This has multiple issues:
- sbsigntools is practically unmaintained, sbvarsign is completely
broken with the latest gnu-efi when built without -fshort-wchar and
upstream has completely ignored my bug report about this.
- sbsigntools only supports openssl engines and not the new providers
API.
- sbsigntools doesn't allow us to cache hardware token pins in the
kernel keyring like we do nowadays when we sign stuff ourselves in
systemd-repart or systemd-measure
There are alternative tools like sbctl and pesign but these do not
support caching hardware token pins in the kernel keyring either.
To get around the issues with sbsigntools, let's introduce our own
tool systemd-sbsign to do secure boot signing. This allows us to
take advantage of our own openssl infra so that hardware token pins
are cached in the kernel keyring as expected and we get openssl
provider support as well.
The section headers used quotes as if the strings were some constants. But
AFAICT, those are just normal plain-text titles. Also lowercase them, because
this is almost like a table and it's easier to read without capitalization.
