[PATCH V35 25/29] kexec: Allow kexec_file() with appropriate IMA policy when locked down

From: Matthew Garrett <hidden>
Date: 2019-07-15 20:01:32
Also in: linux-integrity, linux-security-module, lkml
Subsystem: extended verification module (evm), integrity measurement architecture (ima), kexec, security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Mimi Zohar, Roberto Sassu, Dmitry Kasatkin, Andrew Morton, Baoquan He, Mike Rapoport, Pasha Tatashin, Pratyush Yadav, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

Systems in lockdown mode should block the kexec of untrusted kernels.
For x86 and ARM we can ensure that a kernel is trustworthy by validating
a PE signature, but this isn't possible on other architectures. On those
platforms we can use IMA digital signatures instead. Add a function to
determine whether IMA has or will verify signatures for a given event type,
and if so permit kexec_file() even if the kernel is otherwise locked down.
This is restricted to cases where CONFIG_INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING is set
in order to prevent an attacker from loading additional keys at runtime.
