On the OpenPOWER platform, secure boot and trusted boot are being
implemented using IMA for taking measurements and verifying signatures.
Since the kernel image on Power servers is an ELF binary, kernels are
signed using the scripts/sign-file tool and thus use the same signature
format as signed kernel modules.

This patch series adds support in IMA for verifying those signatures.
It adds flexibility to OpenPOWER secure boot, because it allows it to boot
kernels with the signature appended to them as well as kernels where the
signature is stored in the IMA extended attribute.

I know this is pretty late, but I just wanted to let you know that I
tested this patch set on x86_64 with QEMU.

That is, I enrolled a key to _ima keyring, signed my kernel and modules
with appended signatures (with scripts/sign-file), set the IMA policy to
appraise and measure my kernel and modules. Also tested kexec appraisal.

You can add my tested-by if you'd like.

Thanks for testing!
