Subject: [PATCH 08/30] kexec_file: Restrict at runtime if the kernel is locked down

Hi,

sorry for replying to such an old thread.

On Thu, Nov 09, 2017 at 05:31:38PM +0000, David Howells wrote:

I don't like the idea that the lockdown (which is a runtime
thing) requires a compile time option (KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG) that
forces the verification even when the kernel is then not locked
down at runtime.

Distribution kernels will then have KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG on and
everyone will need signed kexec images even when totally
uninterested in secureboot.

So instead of this patch, I propose the two followup patches that
split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE just as
we have with modules:

[PATCH 08a/30] kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
[PATCH 08b/30] kexec_file: Restrict at runtime if the kernel is locked down

Lockdown would not require KEXEC_SIG_FORCE but when enabled it
would check the signature.

Thanks,
