[PATCH v5 1/5] kexec_file: Include the purgatory segment in the kexec image checksum.

Thiago Jung Bauermann bauerman at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Wed Sep 14 17:54:46 PDT 2016


Currently, the purgatory segment is skipped from the kexec image checksum
because it is modified to include the calculated digest.

By putting the digest in a separate kexec segment, we can include the
purgatory segment in the kexec image verification since it won't need
to be modified anymore.

With this change, the only part of the kexec image that is not covered
by the checksum is the digest itself.

Even with the digest stored separately, x86 needs to leave the purgatory
segment out of the checksum calculation because it modifies the purgatory
code in relocate_kernel. We use CONFIG_ARCH_MODIFIES_KEXEC_PURGATORY to
allow the powerpc purgatory to be protected by the checksum while still
preserving x86 behavior.
