PowerNV secure variables, which store the keys used for OS kernel verification, are managed by the firmware. These secure variables need to be accessed by the userspace for addition/deletion of the certificates. This patch adds the sysfs interface to expose secure variables for PowerNV secureboot. The users shall use this interface for manipulating the keys stored in the secure variables.

secureboot, thereby secure variables. It exposes interface
|
|
for reading/writing the secure variables

|
|
Description: A string indicating which backend is in use by the firmware.

Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
|
|
Description: Each secure variable is represented as a directory named as
|
|
<variable_name>. The variable name is unique and is in ASCII
|
|
representation. The data and size can be determined by reading
|
|
their respective attribute files.

|
|
Description: An integer representation of the size of the content of the
