Re: [PATCH v6 1/3] powerpc: Refactor kexec functions to move arch independent code to IMA

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann
Date: Fri Sep 11 2020 - 23:19:41 EST



Hello Lakshmi,

The code itself is good, I have just some minor comments about it.

But movement of powerpc code is unfortunately creating some issues. More
details below.

With this change if CONFIG_IMA=y but CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC=n, this file will
only have static int get_addr_size_cells() as its contents, which isn't
useful (and will print a warning about the function not being used). You
should change the Makefile to only build this file if CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC=y.
Then you can also remove the #ifdef CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC/#endif within it as
well.

I would use an `#else /* CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE */` here instead of #endif / #ifndef

Even though you are using CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE here, AFAIK this will break
the powerpc build in the case of CONFIG_IMA=n and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
because the build system won't visit security/integrity/ima in that
case.

It's not an error if there's no IMA kexec buffer node. In case the
previous kernel didn't pass a buffer to this kernel there won't be one,
and it's fine. You should remove this pr_err().

Here you're printing an error when the function actually succeeded. You
should either change this back to a pr_debug(), or remove it.

Since you created ima_fdt.c, shouldn't the two functions above go in
that file instead of here, since they work with the device tree?

This function can't go in an IMA-specific directory, because it's used
in arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load.c even if IMA isn't enabled.

I'm not sure where would be a good place for it. Perhaps a new file
called kernel/kexec_file_fdt.c?

This isn't an error. You should change it to a pr_debug() or remove it.
