Thanks for looking at commit 9ec4ecef0af7 for me!
Although commit 9ec4ecef0af7 added some code in arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig
so kexec_file_ops->verify_sig can be called, this commit doesn't add __weak
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig itself. And kexec_file_ops isn't supposed
to replace arch-specific implementation using __weak considering s390 and x86
still make use of __weak to implement its own version of
arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add. How about the commit message as
follows?
Yes, arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add has its different version on
arches. But arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is different. There's a
specific method for that, ->verify_sig().
struct kexec_file_ops {
kexec_probe_t *probe;
kexec_load_t *load;
kexec_cleanup_t *cleanup;
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
kexec_verify_sig_t *verify_sig;
#endif
};
Thanks for the explanation! This example of arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add
is indeed not good and don't illustrate my point. My point is we can't say
commit 9ec4ecef0af7 made a mistake since it's not this commit that
introduced "__weak arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig" and I don't think its
motivation was to replace __weak with kexec_file_ops. Currently we still
have "__weak arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup" and kexec_file_ops->cleanup.
Currently this no arch-specific implementation of
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig. Even if we want to add an implementation
for an architecture in the future, we can simply use "(struct
kexec_file_ops*)->verify_sig". So clean it up.
That is also fine. I think it's better to put the above in if we have
checked the old commit. Anyway, please take the sentences which comforts
you more. And there's grammer mistake, please use 'Currently there is
not' to replace.
Thanks for catching the mistake!
