[PATCH 6/6] IMA: Demonstration code for kexec buffer passing.

Thiago Jung Bauermann bauerman at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Jun 20 18:44:36 PDT 2016


This shows how kernel code can use the kexec buffer passing mechanism
to pass information to the next kernel.

This patch is not intended to be committed.
