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

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Nov 09 2017 - 12:31:46 EST


From: Chun-Yi Lee <joeyli.kernel@xxxxxxxxx>

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:
