Subject: [PATCH 14/27] modsign: Use single PEM file for autogenerated key
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 17:17:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150717161743.2578.92885.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150717161456.2578.95678.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>
From: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is
a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel
make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other
target as a side-effect that make didn't predict.
So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains
both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an
external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also
slightly cleaner.
