I've successfully tested and verified this on kinetic and jammy as part of
LP#1996069.
Now tested on focal on top:
$ lsb_release -a

Bug description:
SRU Justification:
==================
[Impact]
* Secure boot of Linux on s390x will no longer be possible
with an upcoming IBM zSystems firmware update.
[Fix]
* aa127a069ef3 aa127a069ef312aca02b730d5137e1778d0c3ba7 "s390/boot: add
secure boot trailer"
for kinetic and jammy
*
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/633020900/0001-s390-boot-add-secure-boot-trailer.patch
backport for focal
[Test Plan]
* An IBM z15 or LinuxONE III LPAR with zFCP/SCSI disk storage is
required.
* Ensure that 'Enable Secure Boot for Linux' is marked in case
'SCSI Load' is selected at the HMCs Load task and Activation Profile.
* Perform an Ubuntu Server installation, either 20.04 or 22.04
(latest ISO).
It will be a secure boot installation by default in case
'Enable Secure Boot for Linux' was marked.
* Check sysfs:
/sys/firmware/ipl/has_secure
'1' indicates hw support for secure boot, otherwise '0'
/sys/firmware/ipl/secure
'1' indicates that secure IPL was successful, otherwise '0'
* Navigate to the HMC task 'System information'
and check the active firmware release.
* Ensure that Ubuntu is still bootable in secure-boot mode
with the updated firmware active,
by for example doing a reboot after the firmware upgrade.
* There is also a way to test the trailer on systems that do not
have the updated firmware yet - in this case use the following script:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/633126861/check_sb_trailer.sh
[Where problems could occur]
* The 'trailer' might be broken, invalid or in a wrong format
and can't be identified or read properly,
or may cause issues while compressing/decompressing the kernel.
* In worst case secure boot might become broken,
even on systems that are still on the unpatched firmware level.
* Or secure boot will become broken in general.
[Other Info]
* The above commit was upstream accepted with v6.1-rc3.
* And it got tagged for upstream stable with:
"Cc: <sta...@vger.kernel.org> # 5.2+"
* But since this bug is marked as critical, and the patch is relatively
short, traceable and s390x-specific, I'll go ahead and submit this
patch for Jammy and Focal ahead of upstream stable.
* Since on focal file 'vmlinux.lds.S' is at a different location
'arch/s390/boot/compressed/' instead of 'arch/s390/boot/'
and the context is slightly different, the backport is needed.
* It's planned to have kernel 6.2 in lunar (23.04), hence it will have
the patch incl. when at the planned target level.

Description: boot: Add secure boot trailer
Symptom: Secure boot of Linux will no longer be possible with an
upcoming
IBM Z firmware update.
Problem: New IBM Z firmware requires signed bootable images to contain a
trailing data block with a specific format.
Solution: Add the trailing data block to the Linux kernel image.
Reproduction: Apply latest firmware, perform IPL with Secure Boot
enabled.
Fix: available upstream with
Upstream-ID: aa127a069ef312aca02b730d5137e1778d0c3ba7
Preventive: yes
