[PATCH v3 05/19] fs/kernel_read_file: Remove FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED enum
From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-07-24 21:37:00
Also in:
linux-efi, linux-integrity, linux-kselftest, lkml, selinux, stable
Subsystem:
driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), firmware loader (request_firmware), the rest · Maintainers:
Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Luis Chamberlain, Russ Weight, Linus Torvalds
The "FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED" enum is a "where", not a "what". It
should not be distinguished separately from just "FIRMWARE", as this
confuses the LSMs about what is being loaded. Additionally, there was
no actual validation of the firmware contents happening.
Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()")

To aid in backporting, this change is made before moving
kernel_read_file() to separate header/source files.
