[PATCH v16 37/38] x86/efistub: EFI stub DRTM support for Secure Launch

Fri May 15 14:14:09 PDT 2026


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

Invoke the Secure Launch protocol exposed by the boot loader at the
appropriate time to perform a measured launch of the decompressed
kernel after ExitBootServices().
