MODSIGN: Change from CMS to PKCS#7 signing if the openssl is too old 2015-09-25T15:31:46+00:00 David Howells dhowells@redhat.com 2015-09-25T15:31:46+00:00 283e8ba2dfde54f8f27d7d0f459a07de79a39d55 The sign-file.c program actually uses CMS rather than PKCS#7 to sign a file since that allows the target X.509 certificate to be specified by subjectKeyId rather than by issuer + serialNumber. However, older versions of the OpenSSL crypto library (such as may be found in CentOS 5.11) don't support CMS. Assume everything prior to OpenSSL-1.0.0 doesn't support CMS and switch to using PKCS#7 in that case.

Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing 2015-08-27T22:00:30+00:00 David Howells dhowells@redhat.com 2015-08-27T10:13:36+00:00 3f1d44ae640172482a8c0125efe9ca93331b056b The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header files.

In that kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64).
