I am running a Fedora kernel ver: 4.15.3-300.fc27.i686). I am trying to load a custom device driver. When I try to use the device (via an open() call in a C program) the call errors out with errno equal to 6 (ENODEV). When I look into this further, I see the following messages from dmesg:
[Tue Apr 24 17:34:32 2018] mymodule: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.[Tue Apr 24 17:34:32 2018] mymodule: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernelI think this is an issue with the driver not being signed. The Fedora System Administrator's Guide tells me that I need to rebuild the kernel to add a new key, but is also says that
If UEFI Secure Boot is disabled and if the module.sig_enforce kernel parameter has not been specified, then unsigned kernel modules and signed kernel modules without a public key can be successfully loaded.
The computer I am running uses BIOS and does not support UEFI.
How do I find out what the current value of the module.sig_enforce setting is, and how do I change it?
