Address a kbuild issue where a developer created an ECDSA key for signing kernel modules and then builds an older version of the kernel, when bi- secting the kernel for example, that does not support ECDSA keys. Trigger the creation of an RSA module signing key if it is not an RSA key. Fixes: cfc411e7fff3 ("Move certificate handling to its own directory") Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com> --- certs/Makefile | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
