"# efi-updatevar -f noPK.auth PK" does not reach the kernel efivarfs code.
With strace, error occurs when efi-updatevar tries to open
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/KEK-*** file.
I guess O_TRUNC option in open() is not required?

openat(AT_FDCWD,
"/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/KEK-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0644) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "Failed to update KEK: ", 22Failed to update KEK: )  = 22
write(2, "Operation not permitted\n", 24Operation not permitted
) = 24
exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

We can use "efivar" instead to remove the keys. It also works for KEK and db.
# efi-updatevar -f PK.auth PK
# efi-updatevar -f noPK.auth PK     <--- it does not work
# efivar -w -n 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-PK -f noPK.auth
<--- it works

I could not reproduce this issue.
I tried the following command then reboot the board. Linux boots fine.
 # efi-updatevar -f KEK.auth KEK
 # efi-updatevar -f db.auth db

I also enroll the PK, then UEFI secure boot works.
Signed grub and signed kernel boot in UEFI secure boot enabled.

Are there any additional steps to reproduce?
