Please define a new kernel_read_file_id for this (eg.
READING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED).

Are you sure, I wonder how useful it is to add a new
kernel_read_file_id every time a new way to get firmware
comes up?

I especially wonder about the sense in adding a new id
given that the quite old FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER is
still not supported / checked properly by the security code.

Anyways I can add a new id if you want me to, what about
when fw_get_efi_embedded_fw is reading into a driver allocated
buffer, do you want a separate EADING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED_PREALLOC_BUFFER
for that ?

Instead of calling security_kernel_post_read_file(), either in
device_property_read_bool() or here call security_kernel_read_file().

The pre read call is for deciding whether to allow this call
independent of the firmware being loaded, whereas the post security
call is currently being used by IMA-appraisal for verifying a
signature.  There might be other LSMs using the post hook as well.  As
there is no kernel signature associated with this firmware, use the
security pre read_file hook.

Only the pre hook?  I believe the post-hook should still be called too,
right? So that we've hashes of all loaded firmwares in the IMA core.

Hans
