1. Please describe the problem:
After upgrading the kernel to kernel-core-6.16.0-0.rc0.250530gf66bc387efbe.7.fc43.x86_64, the file /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled does not exist any more
2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
6.16.0-0.rc0.250530gf66bc387efbe.7
3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
*first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :
With kernel-core-6.15.0-0.rc7.58.fc43.x86_64 the file was present.
4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
the issue below:
Install a rawhide machine with the specified kernel, then
# cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled
cat: /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled: No such file or directory
5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:
Yes
6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
no
7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.
The file /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled is used in order to check if the system is in FIPS mode (contains 1) or not (contains 0). If the file is missing, many executables fail.
Reproducible: Always
