syslinux in bionic and newer need a small fix to avoid FTBFS now that
gnu-efi provides memset() and memcpy().
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ All users on UEFI systems.
+
Gnu-efi needs to be backported everywhere to support new shim releases.
This applies to bionic, xenial, and trusty.
+
+ This is to properly build the new shim releases on these releases of
+ Ubuntu.
+
+
+ [Test cases]
+ -- build tests --
+ Validate that the following reverse-dependencies build correctly:
+
+
+ == Functionality tests ==
+
+ Run the following tests after the packages have been rebuilt against the
+ new gnu-efi.
+
+ === mokutil ===
+ Validate that mokutil can process:
+ - Certificate import: mokutil --import <file.der>
+ - List enrolled certificates: mokutil --list-enrolled
+ - Set verbosity: mokutil --set-verbosity true
+
+ Reboot, and validate that MokManager processes the requested changes.
+
+
+ === efibootmgr ===
+ Validate that efibootmgr can read the BootEntries normally:
+
+ sudo efibootmgr -v
+
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ gnu-efi is a library that supports applications in handling EFI variables in
and outside of the runtime environment, along with supporting standard library
features for EFI applications. As such, any application that makes uses of EFI
variables on a running system or as their own EFI application should be
validated against possible corruption of the contents of the variables, as well
as doing smoketesting of the EFI applications themselves for incorrect
behavior, crashes, and other runtime issues.
