From: "John S. Gruber" <johnsgru...@gmail.com>
commit a90118c445cc ("x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero out everything
else") now zeros the secure boot information passed by the boot loader or
by the kernel's efi handover mechanism. Include boot-params.secure_boot
in the preserve field list.
I noted a change in my computers between running signed 5.3-rc4 and 5.3-rc6
with signed kernels using the efi handoff protocol with grub. The kernel
log message "Secure boot enabled" becomes "Secure boot could not be
determined". The efi_main function in arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c sets
this field early but it is subsequently zeroed by the above referenced
commit in the file arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h
Fixes: commit a90118c445cc ("x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero
out everything else")
