BTW, ima_update_kexec_buffer() is part of the notifier_block.
which is part of the same patch 2/7.
+struct notifier_block update_buffer_nb = {
+ .notifier_call = ima_update_kexec_buffer,
+};
+
update_buffer_nb is being registered to the reboot notifiers in patch
3/7 of this series.
So ima_update_kexec_buffer() is being called.
+void ima_kexec_post_load(struct kimage *image)
+{
...
...
+
+ if (!ima_kexec_update_registered) {
+ register_reboot_notifier(&update_buffer_nb);
+ ima_kexec_update_registered = true;
+ }
+}
Maybe you meant 'update_buffer_nb' variable needs to be defined and used
in the same patch and not defined in 2/7 and used in 3/7.
Anyways, I think I took care of the majority of the bisect-safe issues
from V1->V2 of this series. But maybe I missed a few. I will look at
this with fresh perspective, to see if I missed anything, when I publish
V3 of the series.
Thanks,
