OvmfPkg: disable stale fork of SecureBootConfigDxe
OvmfPkg forked SecureBootConfigDxe from SecurityPkg in SVN r13635 (git commit 8c71ec8f). Since then, the original (in "SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe") has diverged significantly. The initial diff between the original and the fork, when the fork was made (ie. at SVN r13635), reads as follows: > diff -ur SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr > --- SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr 2014-09-30 23:35:28.598067147 +0200 > +++ OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr 2014-08-09 02:40:35.824851626 +0200 > @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ > questionid = KEY_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE, > prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STR_SECURE_BOOT_PROMPT), > help = STRING_TOKEN(STR_SECURE_BOOT_HELP), > - flags = INTERACTIVE | RESET_REQUIRED, > + flags = INTERACTIVE, > endcheckbox; > endif; > > @@ -158,7 +158,7 @@ > questionid = KEY_SECURE_BOOT_DELETE_PK, > prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DELETE_PK), > help = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DELETE_PK_HELP), > - flags = INTERACTIVE | RESET_REQUIRED, > + flags = INTERACTIVE, > endcheckbox; > endif; > endform; > diff -ur SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf > --- SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf 2014-09-30 23:35:28.598067147 +0200 > +++ OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf 2014-09-30 23:35:28.577067027 +0200 > @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ > ## @file > -# Component name for SecureBoot configuration module. > +# Component name for SecureBoot configuration module for OVMF. > +# > +# Need custom SecureBootConfigDxe for OVMF that does not force > +# resets after PK changes since OVMF doesn't have persistent variables > # > # Copyright (c) 2011 - 2012, Intel Corporation.

But the INF file hunk is telling: Need custom SecureBootConfigDxe for OVMF that does not force resets after PK changes since OVMF doesn't have persistent variables We do have persistent variables now. Let's disable the (now obsolete) OvmfPkg fork, and revert to the (well maintained) SecurityPkg-provided config driver.

- Option 1: QEMU 1.6 or newer; Use QEMU -pflash parameter
* QEMU/OVMF will use emulated flash, and fully support UEFI variables
* Run qemu with: -pflash path/to/OVMF.fd

variables may lose their contents after a reboot
