Move ima_get_kexec_buffer() and ima_free_kexec_buffer() to IMA
subsystem. A later patch in this series will use these functions for
carrying forward the IMA measurement log for ARM64.
With the above refactoring arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c contains only
functions used when CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is enabled. Update Makefile
in arch/powerpc/kexec to include arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c only
when CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is enabled.
Move ima_dump_measurement_list() and ima_add_kexec_buffer() to
a new file namely ima_kexec_fdt.c in IMA. Update
security/integrity/ima/Makefile to include ima_kexec_fdt.c only
when CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is enabled.

The existing support for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec
is limited to powerpc. This patch set is adding similar support for
arm64, making as much of the existing code as generic as possible.
However ima_dump_measurement_list() is already generic, but for some
reason this patch moves it to ima_kexec_fdt.c. ima_kexec_fdt.c should
be limited to device tree specific code.
I wanted to split the functions defined under CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC and
CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC to separate files so that we can get rid of #ifdef in C
file and instead conditionally compile the C files (using Makefile).
ima_dump_measurement_list() need to be defined only when
CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is defined. I moved it to ima_kexec_fdt.c
In this case, everything in ima_kexec.c relates to carrying or
restoring the measurement list. It's a logical unit. Separating them
doesn't make sense.
Sounds good - I'll keep ima_dump_measurement_list() and
ima_add_kexec_buffer() in ima_kexec.c as it was earlier.
Instead of ima_kexec_fdt.c, where ima_dump_measurement_list() and
ima_add_kexec_buffer() are defined, perhaps I can change the file name
to "ima_kexec_buffer.c". Would that be better?
I don't understand why adding support for carrying the IMA measurement
across kexec on ARM64, should require any changes in the IMA loading
and restoring the measurement list code itself. Please minimize the
changes.
Agreed - will do.
