Thanks for sharing your concern! They way I think about the change is
that I've replaced the expression
IsPk
with
FeaturePcdGet (PcdRequireSelfSignedPk) && IsPk
and nothing else. When you look at it this way, it's fairly easy to
break down how it affects the logic:
1. Assume PcdRequireSelfSignedPk is TRUE. In this case, the two
expressions are exactly the same and no change in behavior occurs,
just as we want.
2. Assume IsPk is FALSE. In this case, both expressions evaluate to
FALSE, no matter what the PCD is configured to. That's also good,
because we don't want to change how non-PK payloads are handled.
3. In fact, the only change in behavior that occurs is when
PcdRequireSelfSignedPk is FALSE and IsPk is TRUE; here the former
expression would be TRUE, whereas the latter is FALSE. That's exactly
what we want: we wish to enter the first block of the if-else branch
(which changes the variable similarly to when we're in custom mode)
rather than falling through to the third block (which checks the
self-signature).
To directly answer your question, I don't think the behavior changes at
all when processing non-PK payloads, by virtue of IsPk being FALSE and
what I said in point (2.) above.
Additionally, yes, the first block of the if-else branch is exactly the
path that's taken when enrolling KEK/DB/DBX in Setup mode, and one that
has always been available even without Custom mode. It used to be that
you couldn't use this path to enroll PK without Custom mode (precisely
because of !IsPk in the condition), but I'm hoping to enable this path
with my patch.
Let me know if I haven't answered or misunderstood your question.

I've done an ad-hoc test by commenting out the switch to/from Custom
mode in EnrollFromDefaultKeysApp from SecurityPkg, booting in Setup mode
and using the modified app to enroll the keys. You could do a similar
test from the OS, but in my case this was more straightforward.
I am aware of the host-based unit testing library in edk2, and I agree
that it would be great to have the code in AuthVariableLib tested for
all the different cases. However, I don't have any such tests right now,
and while I'm willing to potentially look into writing some, I'd have to
do it more or less on the side, meaning it could take a while.
Best,
-Jan
