UBUNTU: SAUCE: (noup) KEYS: Support for inserting a certificate into x86 bzImage
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558553 The config option SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE reserves space in vmlinux file, which is compressed to create the self-extracting bzImage. This patch adds the capability of extracting the vmlinux, inserting the certificate, and repackaging the result into a bzImage. It only works if the resulting compressed vmlinux is smaller than the original. Otherwise re-linking would be required. To make the reserved space allocate actual space in bzImage, a null key is inserted into vmlinux before creating the bzImage: make vmlinux scripts/insert-sys-cert -b vmlinux -c /dev/null make bzImage After null key insertion, the script populates the rest of the reserved space with random bytes, which have poor compression. After receiving a bzImage that is created this way, actual certificate can be inserted into the bzImage: scripts/insert-sys-cert -s <System.map> -z <bzImage> -c <certfile> Signed-off-by: Mehmet Kayaalp <mkayaalp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com>
