I should have mentioned, the kernel in comment #11 is not signed with the archive signing key since it's in a personal ppa, but the cert which is built into the kernel is for the archive key.

Because Ubuntu keeps its kernels so wonderfully up to date, I don't think there are any extra patches you need to pick up. (I'll double- check against the 21.04 tree once my git pulls finish!) However, we potentially need some configuration changes to make sure kexec-ing into a crashdump kernel still works. Because Lockdown requires that kexec kernels are signed by a key trusted by IMA, the public key for used for signing the kdump kernel needs to be in the IMA keyring or the platform keyring. For host secure boot (and in the UEFI case), it's loaded into the platform keyring. But in the case of guest secure boot with static keys, it's not loaded into the platform keyring so it needs to be loaded into the IMA keyring. This is easy enough to do. Firstly, load the Secure Boot CA into the .primary_trusted_keys keyring via the CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS property. We assume the key used to sign the kernel is signed by this CA. Then, enable IMA_LOAD_X509, which allows certificates signed by a key on the .primary_trusted_keys keyring to be loaded into the IMA keyring. Then set IMA_X509_PATH to provide a path to the signing key on installed file system. (It may also be possible to do this step in userspace, so long as the CA is trusted by the kernel.) Then that key will be loaded into the .ima keyring at boot and be used to appraise the kexec kernel for crashdumps.
