[PATCH 2/4] kexec: add CONFING_KEXEC_PURGATORY_SKIP_SIG
From: Albert Huang
Date: Mon Jul 25 2022 - 04:40:18 EST
From: "huangjie.albert" <huangjie.albert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
the verify_sha256_digest may cost 300+ ms in my test environment:
bzImage: 53M initramfs:28M
We can add a macro to control whether to enable this check. If we
can confirm that the data in this will not change, we can turn off
the check and get a faster startup.
