[gentoo-user] Kernel module signature now shown on modinfo

[Ben Mezger <su@seds.nl>]

Greetings,

I have enabled module signature verification on my kernel, and it does
seem to be enabled upon boot:

$  dmesg | grep -i 'x.*509'
[    1.259988] Asymmetric key parser 'x509' registered
[    1.811026] Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates
[    1.813833] Loaded X.509 cert 'Build time autogenerated kernel key:
77e716fc52a6293567d953cd24a5977e55b41a5e'

and doing a cat /proc/keys seems to show the key enabled:

$ cat /proc/keys
...
37c67374 I------     1 perm 1f030000     0     0 asymmetri Build time
autogenerated kernel key: 77e716fc52a6293567d953cd24a5977e55b41a5e:
X509.rsa 55b41a5e []
...

However, if I do a modinfo to see the key on a module, it seems empty:

$modinfo ntfs

And hex dump does show me the digital signature appended at the end:

My question is: why doesn't modinfo show me the key fingerprint?
