+Subject: [PATCH] kdump-tools: adapt check_secure_boot checking
+
+The kdump-config uses files under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars to detect
+secure boot status. But efivars isn't in use because
+CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS is not set. We don't want to enable it because
+when applying the preempt_rt patch to the Linux kernel,
+EFI variables at runtime are disabled by default due to
+high latencies
+(https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rt-users/msg19980.html).
+
+So change to use /sys/kernel/security/lockdown to detect secure
+boot status because it is set to 'integrity' in the debian patch
+[efi: Lock down the kernel if booted in secure boot mode] which is
+in use by us.
+
