[PATCH v2 0/6] KEXEC_SIG with appended signature

[Philipp Rudo]

Hi Michal,

i finally had the time to take a closer look at the series. Except for
the nit in patch 4 and my personal preference in patch 6 the code looks
good to me.

What I don't like are the commit messages on the first commits. In my
opinion they are so short that they are almost useless. For example in
patch 2 there is absolutely no explanation why you can simply copy the
s390 over to ppc. Or in patch 3 you are silently changing the error
code in kexec from EKEYREJECT to ENODATA. So I would appreciate it if
you could improve them a little.

Thanks
Philipp
