hi,
things are getting worse , my initial problem was only the visible
piece of the iceberg ;)

you are correct, and i hope we can fix that. However what I have now
realized is that building external modules with modules signing
enabled seems to be broken.
The kernel generates the keys pair and certificate when it's built and
the public key is embedded in the kernel image. The keys are put in
STAGING_KERNEL_DIR, where module_do_compile() expects it. And it works
just fine, until you delete TMPDIR, and build again. For example if
you have a change in your module recipe, and build again. Because it's
an external module, it has:
do_configure[depends] += "make-mod-scripts:do_compile"
and make-mod-scripts has the following depends:
do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_shared_workdir
openssl-native:do_populate_sysroot"
do_compile[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_compile_kernelmodules"
So the kernel will effectively be rebuilt , and a new pair of keys is
generated and placed in STAGING_KERNEL_DIR. Then the external module
is recompiled and signed with the *new* key. However since the kernel
recipe didn't change the kernel do_deploy() is not run, and artifacts
are used from the sstate-cache. So we eventually end up with
vmlinuz/Image built with the *old* key and the new kernel module
signed with the *new* key.
Here is a log of what happens in my build env that demonstrates this

where linux-msm is the kernel recipe (inherit kernel), qcacld-hl a
kernel module (which inherit module), and qti-console-image a simple
console image.
If this reasoning is correct that means that kernel signing + external
module is broken. Note that I am working out of Thud for now, i am
sending this email for now to get some feedback, and will try to
reproduce without all our custom layers and with master.
Should we deploy the keys/certificates in the kernel recipe instead of
adding them in STAGING_KERNEL_DIR? Would that be enough?
