Subject: [PATCH 16/27] modsign: Use single PEM file for autogenerated key [ver #7]
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:46:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150805134609.9984.83741.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150805134323.9984.4454.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.
