From ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Jones Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 14:48:15 -0500 Subject: efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
