Subject: [PATCH] commands: Restrict commands that can load BIOS or DT blobs
b1bcb2
 when locked down
b1bcb2
b1bcb2
There are some more commands that should be restricted when the GRUB is
b1bcb2
locked down. Following is the list of commands and reasons to restrict:
b1bcb2
b1bcb2
  * fakebios:   creates BIOS-like structures for backward compatibility with
b1bcb2
                existing OSes. This should not be allowed when locked down.
b1bcb2
b1bcb2
  * loadbios:   reads a BIOS dump from storage and loads it. This action
b1bcb2
                should not be allowed when locked down.
b1bcb2
b1bcb2
  * devicetree: loads a Device Tree blob and passes it to the OS. It replaces
b1bcb2
                any Device Tree provided by the firmware. This also should
b1bcb2
                not be allowed when locked down.
