Please consider the commits below for backporting to v5.15. These patches are prerequisites for the backport of the x86 EFI stub refactor that is needed for distros to sign v5.15 images for secure boot in a way that complies with new MS requirements for memory protections while running in the EFI firmware.
What old distros still care about this for a kernel that was released in 2021? I can almost understand this for 6.1.y and newer, but why for this one too?
thanks,
