- Make build.log an artifact of building.
- KEK for Mok. (koike expressed an interest in working on this.)
+- Detection of fallback.efi boot loops
+ - Some tablet devices seem to always boot the fallback path, ignoring
+ boot variables, so we need to detect that.
+ - fallback creates 2 variables, one volatile, one nonvolatile
+ - if shim sees the nonvolatile variable but not the volatile one, it has
+ been booted correctly after fallback has run, so it should remove the
+ nonvolatile variable.
+ - if fallback sees the nonvolatile variable, it is in a fallback boot
+ loop, and should launch the next stage instead of rebooting.
+ - This means the TPM extend chain on machines with broken BDS always
+ looks like: shim -> fallback -> shim -> grub2 -> kernel, *except* on
+ boots from removable media (i.e. install media without fallback),
+ where it looks like shim -> grub2 -> kernel /once/.
