Sign the default/fallback loader #3

Well, cp: cannot stat '/root/src/github.com/julian-klode/sicherboot/tests/tmp/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI': No such file or directory -> the mock bootctl does not install a bootx64.efi. WRT signing that: It's not that easy. The default might not be a systemd-boot bootloader. Imagine the default is the windows loader, for example - we surely don't want to add a signature after each bootctl command. We could probably just cmp the default bootloader against the other one? Then there's the case issue: I think systemd-boot is reasonably safe, but the default bootloader and path to it may have all kinds of weird casing. And if the ESP is mounted as utf-8, that leads to errors. So we probably have to try something fancy there like EFI/[Bb][Oo][Oo][Tt]/[Bb][Oo][Oo][Tt] (and the same for the architecture) - maybe we should also do [Ee][Ff][Ii] everywhere?. I did get bitten by this when I packed gummiboot. Apart from that, there's only a minor style issue: Don't use |

Hm, you're right... I've only ever tried to use UEFI Secure Boot on my own debian laptop... No, I don't want to add a signature on all EFI-binaries, only the one that In other words, we would need to find a way for bootctl to tell us which EFI-binaries it has installed (with their path's). That would make it robust. Though, parsing the output of bootctl is not something I'd like to do... I'll have to think a bit more about how to approach this. Feel free to close the pull-request.

Instead of hardcoding the installation path of the systemd-boot, to be used to sign it, try to extract the actual path's that bootctl installs systemd-boot to. Usually, it's also installing a fallback loader. Signed-off-by: Anders Darander <anders.darander@gmail.com>

I've again grown tired of having my computer fail to find a signature on the fallback loader after each systemd update. Thus, I'm making a second attempt at this. As I'm not aware of any good command to bootctl to ask it for which path's it'll use to install systemd-boot, I've instead opted to parse the output of the actual install process. Let's see how that works with the mock bootctl... |
The bootctl command in sicherboot was rewritten to parse the output of the systemd bootctl command. Add the relevant output to the mock. Signed-off-by: Anders Darander <anders.darander@gmail.com>

I wonder why you don't set a boot order using efibootmgr that uses the non-default bootloader. For example, my system is configured to directly use systemd-boot by placing its entry first in the line. |

Yes, that's another option for sure. However, I'd still prefer to have all loaders installed by bootctl signed. Though, feel free to close the issue... |
Apart from installing systemd-boot at /EFI/systemd/, bootctl also installs a
default/fallback loader at /EFI/BOOT/BOOT.EFI. Sign this loader too.
