efi_selftest: adjust runtime test for variables (2020-07-09 12:08:41 +0200)
NAK. This is reliably failing here: https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/jobs/122018
I see it passed Azure, and hasn't run through Travis yet. Maybe it needs to be run repeatedly to fail and we just got "lucky" ?
Hello Tom,
you saw unreproducible results with multiple runs failing and one run succeeding. The reason is that when signing with sign-efi-sig-list in out Python tests without passing a timestamp two signatures may be in the same second or not.
When using the signed files to set UEFI variables a variable can only be overwritten by a file with a newer timestamp. But without setting timestamps explicitly using parameter -t passed to sign-efi-sig-list we have no control.
I already fixed this for some elder tests but missed to fix this for the merged patches from Takahiro.
Ah, thanks for the explanation.
