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

[David Howells]

From: Chun-Yi Lee <joeyli.kernel at gmail.com>

When KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG is not enabled, kernel should not load images through
kexec_file systemcall if the kernel is locked down unless IMA can be used
to validate the image.

This code was showed in Matthew's patch but not in git:
