![]() Some firmwares seem to ignore our boot entries and put their fallback entries back on top. Right now that results in a lot of boot entries for our stuff, a la https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995834 . Instead of that happening, if we simply find existing entries that match the entry we would create and move them to the top of the boot order, the machine will continue to operate in failure mode (which we can't avoid), but at least we won't create thousands of extra entries.

shim is a trivial EFI application that, when run, attempts to open and execute another application. It will initially attempt to do this via the standard EFI LoadImage() and StartImage() calls. If these fail (because secure boot is enabled and the binary is not signed with an appropriate key, for instance) it will then validate the binary against a built-in certificate. If this succeeds and if the binary or signing key are not blacklisted then shim will relocate and execute the binary. shim will also install a protocol which permits the second-stage bootloader to perform similar binary validation. This protocol has a GUID as described in the shim.h header file and provides a single entry point. On 64-bit systems this entry point expects to be called with SysV ABI rather than MSABI, and so calls to it should not be wrapped. To use shim, simply place a hex dump of the public certificate in cert.h and build it with make.
