So I just went through the kexec portions of this and I don't see anything particularly worrying. I have one thing that I think could be improved, but is not wrong. Having both receiving and transmitting the ima measurments both under HAVE_IMA_KEXEC seems wrong. There may be people who want to receive the measurment list but don't want to support kexec'ing other kernels or the other way around. I can very much see bootloaders that expect they will be the first kernel to not want to compile in the extra code for receiving the measurment list. But again that is a nit, and not a problem. So for the series, from the kexec point of view. Acked-by: "Eric W.
