[PATCH v4 2/4] powerpc: expose secure variables to userspace via sysfs

Wed Oct 2 09:41:49 AEST 2019


PowerNV secure variables, which store the keys used for OS kernel
verification, are managed by the firmware. These secure variables need to
be accessed by the userspace for addition/deletion of the certificates.

This patch adds the sysfs interface to expose secure variables for PowerNV
secureboot. The users shall use this interface for manipulating
the keys stored in the secure variables.
