Hi Boris,

Yes, this posting will replace above two postings as you said. David
howells anyway did all the original work. So he has refreshed all the
paches, fixed things, put them in right order and reposted.

These are the core patches required to make signature verification work
in bzImage. We just need one more kexec patch on top which can call into
pefile logic to verify signature of file.

And that patch is sitting right now here.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-modsign.git/commit/?h=kexec-pefile&id=7de6fb25559c1dc42e203646c44202cbe2e2fc2c

I am planning to post this single patch for review with explicit mention
to david howells's posting.

So now we have 3 pieces.

- Kexec new system call patches in -mm tree.
- PKCS7 and PEFILE signature verification patches as posted in this
patch series.
- Final kexec patch which makes use of PEFILE function to do singature
verification. I will post that patch soon.

I am hoping that last patch can go through david howells tree as it is
dependent on PKCS7 and PEFILE changes.

Thanks
Vivek
