SBAT is a mechanism which improves SecureBoot revocations of UEFI binaries
by introducing a generation-based technique. Compromised or vulnerable UEFI
binaries can be prevented from booting by bumping the minimal required
generation for the specific component in the bootloader. More information
on the SBAT can be obtained here:

https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md

Upstream Linux kernel does not currently participate in any way in SBAT as
there's no existing policy in how SBAT generation number should be
defined. Keep the status quo and provide a mechanism for distro vendors and
anyone else who signs their kernel for SecureBoot to include their own SBAT
data. This leaves the decision on the policy to the vendor. Basically, each
distro implementing SecureBoot today, will have an option to inject their
own SBAT data during kernel build and before it gets signed by their
SecureBoot CA. Different distro do not need to agree on the common SBAT
component names or generation numbers as each distro ships its own 'shim'
with their own 'vendor_cert'/'vendor_db'

Implement support for embedding SBAT data for architectures using
zboot (arm64, loongarch, riscv). Put '.sbat' section in between '.data' and
'.text' as the former also covers '.bss' and thus must be the last one.

+	  UEFI binaries can be prevented from booting by bumping the minimal
+	  required generation for the specific component in the bootloader.
+
+	  Note: SBAT information is distribution specific, i.e. the owner of the
+	  signing SecureBoot certificate must define the SBAT policy. Linux
+	  kernel upstream does not define SBAT components and their generations.
+
+	  See https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md for the additional
+	  details.
+
+	  Specify a file with SBAT data which is going to be embedded as '.sbat'
+	  section into the kernel.
+
+	  If unsure, leave blank.
