[PATCH V2 08/10] kexec: Disable at runtime if the kernel enforces module loading restrictions

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Mon Aug 19 2013 - 13:27:06 EST


kexec permits the loading and execution of arbitrary code in ring 0, which
is something that module signing enforcement is meant to prevent. It makes
sense to disable kexec in this situation.
