SubjectRe: [PATCH V2 07/10] Secure boot: Add a dummy kernel parameter that will switch on Secure Boot mode
Quoting Matthew Garrett (mjg@redhat.com):
> From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>
>
> This forcibly drops CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL from both cap_permitted and cap_bset
> in the init_cred struct, which everything else inherits from. This works on
> any machine and can be used to develop even if the box doesn't have UEFI.

> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>
