Re: [PATCH 08a/30] kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE

I think that your code isn't quite right. Looking at the patched code:
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
sig_err = arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig(image, image->kernel_buf,
image->kernel_buf_len);
if (sig_err)
pr_debug("kernel signature verification failed.\n");
else
pr_debug("kernel signature verification successful.\n");
#endif
if (sig_err && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE)) {
ret = sig_err;
goto out;
}
If the signature check fails because the signature is bad, but
CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE=n then it now won't fail when it should.
If sig_err is -EKEYREJECTED, -EKEYEXPIRED or -EKEYREVOKED then it must fail,
even if the signature check isn't forced.
