Subject: [PATCH 27/62] Make EFI variable copying fatal only on secureboot
d1e1c8
 enabled systems
64d7ab
64d7ab
I have come across systems that are unwilling to reserve enough memory for
64d7ab
a MokListRT big enough for big certificates.
64d7ab
This seems to be the case with firmware implementations that do not support
64d7ab
secureboot, which is probably the reason they went with much lower variable
64d7ab
storage.
64d7ab
64d7ab
This patch set makes sure we can still boot on those systems, by only
64d7ab
making the copy action fatal if the system has secure boot enabled, or if
64d7ab
the error was anything other than EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER.
