Fix SBAT.md for today's consensus about numbers

2024-08-20T11:00:04+00:00

As per https://github.com/rhboot/shim/issues/634, the current consensus seems to be for generation numbers to only ever go up and not get reset. This has been clarified and an example related to this behavior has been described. Signed-off-by: Kamil Aronowski

SBAT-related documents formatting and spelling

2023-05-02T20:05:59+00:00

A rendering error which caused the `_key.EFI` text to be rendered as `_key.EFI` has been fixed. The text was being rendered incorrectly by GitHub since the part was being treated as an HTML tag and therefore ignored. Two misspellings have been fixed Tables have been reformatted to be more readable as plaintext. Rendering remains the same. Signed-off-by: Kamil Aronowski

Specify that the section is ASCII not UTF-8

2021-09-08T16:08:38+00:00

The SBAT variable is defined as ASCII, but the SBAT section in a binary was defined as UTF-8. These should match. Use ASCII rather than UTF-8, because naive parsing of UTF-8 could lead to unexpected results. For example the character 'ä' can be encoded as 0xe4 or as 0x61 0x0308, and these should be considered equivalent. The shim is not smart enough to do this. This could lead to missed verifications, if the variable and section use different encodings. Define everything as ASCII. It's sad not to be able to have 🦀 in our bootloader names, and potentially annoying for vendor names as well, but oh well.

Modify sbat.md to help with readability.

SBAT.md: fix "will should"

2021-07-15T22:55:56+00:00

Use the stronger "will" rather than "will should". I'm not sure based on what's there, but suspect "must" would be appropriate instead? Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn

SBAT: update the raw Markdown to look less terrible

2021-02-25T16:13:14+00:00

The raw text of the SBAT.md file is a bit of a mess, this patch attempts to introduce some consistentcy to the text without affecting the rendered Markdown. The only content change was the addition of a missing period ('.') at the end of sentence/paragraph; all of the other changes were purely formatting changes. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Fix two errant 'shim,0' outdated sbat cases.

Two places we missed still have 0 for an sbat version - one doc and one in our data csv. This fixes those. Signed-off-by: Peter Jones
