[PATCH v11 6/9] ima: kexec: move IMA log copy from kexec load to execute

Wed Apr 2 12:47:19 UTC 2025


ima_dump_measurement_list() is called during kexec 'load', which may
result in loss of IMA measurements during kexec soft reboot. Due to 
missed measurements that only occurred after kexec 'load', this function 
needs to be called during kexec 'execute'.

Make the kexec_segment_size variable a local static variable within the 
file, so it can be accessed during both kexec 'load' and 'execute'.
 
Implement the kexec_post_load() function to be invoked after the new kernel
image has been loaded for kexec. Instead of calling machine_kexec_post_load()
directly from the kexec_file_load() syscall, call kexec_post_load(), which in
turn calls machine_kexec_post_load() to maintain the original image processing.
 
Invoke ima_kexec_post_load() within the kexec_post_load() API only for kexec 
soft reboot scenarios, excluding KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH.
 
Register a reboot notifier for the ima_update_kexec_buffer() API within 
ima_kexec_post_load() to ensure it is called upon receiving a reboot 
notification.
 
Move the ima_dump_measurement_list() call from ima_add_kexec_buffer() to 
ima_update_kexec_buffer() to copy the IMA log at the kexec 'execute' stage.
 
When there is insufficient memory to copy all the measurement logs, copy as
much of the measurement list as possible.
