      MODSIGN: Sign modules during the build process · 80d65e58
      David Howells 提交于
      If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, then this patch will cause all modules files to
      to have signatures added.  The following steps will occur:
      
       (1) The module will be linked to foo.ko.unsigned instead of foo.ko
      
       (2) The module will be stripped using both "strip -x -g" and "eu-strip" to
           ensure minimal size for inclusion in an initramfs.
      
       (3) The signature will be generated on the stripped module.
      
       (4) The signature will be appended to the module, along with some information
           about the signature and a magic string that indicates the presence of the
           signature.
      
      Step (3) requires private and public keys to be available.  By default these
      are expected to be found in files:
      
      	signing_key.priv
      	signing_key.x509
      
      in the base directory of the build.  The first is the private key in PEM form
      and the second is the X.509 certificate in DER form as can be generated from
      openssl:
      
      	openssl req \
      		-new -x509 -outform PEM -out signing_key.x509 \
      		-keyout signing_key.priv -nodes \
      		-subj "/CN=H2G2/O=Magrathea/CN=Slartibartfast"
      
      If the secret key is not found then signing will be skipped and the unsigned
      module from (1) will just be copied to foo.ko.
      
      If signing occurs, lines like the following will be seen:
      
      	LD [M]  fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned
      	STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped
      	SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko
      
      will appear in the build log.  If the signature step will be skipped and the
      following will be seen:
      
      	LD [M]  fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned
      	STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped
      	NO SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko
      
      NOTE!  After the signature step, the signed module _must_not_ be passed through
      strip.  The unstripped, unsigned module is still available at the name on the
      LD [M] line.  This restriction may affect packaging tools (such as rpmbuild)
      and initramfs composition tools.
