[ Upstream commitaf61da281f] When building out-of-tree modules with CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE=y, module signing fails because the private key path uses $(srctree) while the public key path uses $(objtree). Since signing keys are generated in the build directory during kernel compilation, both paths should use $(objtree) for consistency. This causes SSL errors like: SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory sign-file: /kernel-src/certs/signing_key.pem The issue occurs because: - sig-key uses: $(srctree)/certs/signing_key.pem (source tree) - cmd_sign uses: $(objtree)/certs/signing_key.x509 (build tree) But both keys are generated in $(objtree) during the build. This complements commit25ff08aa43("kbuild: Fix signing issue for external modules") which fixed the scripts path and public key path, but missed the private key path inconsistency. Fixes out-of-tree module signing for configurations with separate source and build directories (e.g., O=/kernel-out).
