Notice how "kexec/ima.o" is only included if the architecture supports
it and IMA is configured.  In addition only if CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is
configured, is the IMA measurement list carried across kexec.  After
moving the rest of ima.c to drivers/of/kexec.c, this changes.   Notice
how drivers/of/Kconfig includes kexec.o:

obj-$(CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE) += kexec.o

It is not dependent on CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC.  Shouldn't all of the
functions defined in ima.c being moved to kexec.o be defined within a
CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC ifdef?


Thanks for reviewing the changes.

In "drivers/of/kexec.c" the function remove_ima_buffer() is defined under "#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC"

setup_ima_buffer() is defined under "#ifdef CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC" - the same way it was defined in "arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c".

As you know, CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC depends on CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC (as defined in "security/integrity/ima/Kconfig").

ima_get_kexec_buffer() and ima_free_kexec_buffer() are unconditionally defined in "drivers/of/kexec.c" even though they are called only when CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC is enabled. I will update these two functions to be moved under "#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC"

Rob/Mimi/Thiago - Please let me know if you have other comments in the v13 patches. Will address those as well and post v14.

thanks,
