6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 34cf99c250d5cd2530b93a57b0de31d3aaf8685b ] The code calling ima_free_kexec_buffer() runs long after the memblock allocator has already been torn down, potentially resulting in a use after free in memblock_isolate_range(). With KASAN or KFENCE, this use after free will result in a BUG from the idle task, and a subsequent kernel panic. Switch ima_free_kexec_buffer() over to memblock_free_late() to avoid that bug.
