Hi

This project is what I have been looking for (secure boot + watchdog), 
but I have a hard time grasping why it works.

The UEFI spec states[1]:
"The watchdog timer is only used during boot services. On successful 
completion of EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.ExitBootServices() the watchdog timer is 
disabled."

So the boot looke something like this (AFAIU):
1. efibootguard starts
2. efibootguard initializes the watchdog
3. LoadImage()
4. StartImage()
5. Linux starts and calls ExitBootServices()

Why isn't UEFI disabling the watchdog initialized by efibootguard when 
ExitBootServices() is called?

[1] UEFI Spec 2.6, EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.SetWatchdogTimer():

Best regards
Kristian Klausen
