Re: Secure Boot Breaks Kexec, Hibernate Support On Linux

Usual Phoronix B$.

TL;DR version: Somebody pointed out that "secure boot" isn't really secure if one can use kexec to boot "untrusted" kernel from a "trusted" kernel. He posted a "proof of concept" patch which makes Linux more "secure" by refusing to kexec "untrusted" kernels. Nobody is going to merge this patch because nobody cares.
