sig_unenforce kernel patch for the AWS kernel

[VivekPanyam]

Hello!

The documentation says to use the sig_unenforce kernel command line parameter to disable signature checking of kernel modules. This works correctly on the LTS kernel, but not on the AWS one.

It looks like the kernel patch that enables this parameter is not part of the AWS kernel build.

Is there a reason it's not included in the AWS kernel? If not, can that patch be added? Thank you!

Looks like that was inadvertently dropped in a patch cleanup a while back. I'll add it back in. This issue will be tagged when the fix has landed in a release.

Thank you! Do you have a rough estimate of how long that'll take?

Within a week, possibly less than that. I think we do releases about twice a week, but only publish them if they pass testing. I tagged this issue in the commit, so when it's published to https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/linux-aws (automatic, shortly after release) this issue will be tagged/closed.
