Bug Description

4.2.0-42 was built without CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_UEFI so the kernel ignores the SecureBoot certificates and the user certificates enrolled as MOKs for module signature validation, forcing the user to either disable validation in shim through mokutil or disabling SecureBoot altogether.

The current linux-lts-xenial build has CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_UEFI=y in its config file and the related symbols (load_uefi_certs, get_cert_list...) are present in System.map. On the other hand, the current linux-lts-wily build lacks both:

# grep MODULE_SIG_UEFI /boot/config-4.2.0-42-generic
# grep load_uefi /boot/System.map-4.2.0-42-generic
# grep MODULE_SIG_UEFI config-4.4.0-31-generic
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_UEFI=y
# grep load_uefi System.map-4.4.0-31-generic
ffffffff81d8431b t load_uefi_certs
ffffffff81e917d8 t __initcall_load_uefi_certs7
