Subject: [PATCH] commands: Restrict commands that can load BIOS or DT blobs
468bd4
 when locked down
468bd4
468bd4
There are some more commands that should be restricted when the GRUB is
468bd4
locked down. Following is the list of commands and reasons to restrict:
468bd4
468bd4
  * fakebios:   creates BIOS-like structures for backward compatibility with
468bd4
                existing OSes. This should not be allowed when locked down.
468bd4
468bd4
  * loadbios:   reads a BIOS dump from storage and loads it. This action
468bd4
                should not be allowed when locked down.
468bd4
468bd4
  * devicetree: loads a Device Tree blob and passes it to the OS. It replaces
468bd4
                any Device Tree provided by the firmware. This also should
468bd4
                not be allowed when locked down.
