Title:
  TPM event log does not contain kernel validation key

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The TPM event log (at
  /sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements) does not contain
  the kernel validation key. For each binary loaded during boot (grub,
  linux), the shim measures a placeholder for the binary itself
  (EV_EFI_Boot_Services_Application event) and the key that was used to
  validate it (EV_EFI_Variable_Authority event) into the TPM and
  corresponding event log. On my machine, grub placeholder and the key
  used to validate grub are both measured. The kernel placeholder is
  also present, but the key used to validate the kernel is not measured.

  On other distributions (not based on Ubuntu, so only semi-relevant
  here), this kernel signer event is measured.
