[PATCH v4 00/10] arm64: kexec: add kexec_file_load() support

[AKASHI Takahiro]

This is the fourth round of implementing kexec_file_load() support
on arm64.[1]
Most of the code is based on kexec-tools (along with some kernel code
from x86, which also came from kexec-tools).


This patch series enables us to
  * load the kernel, Image, with kexec_file_load system call, and
  * optionally verify its signature at load time for trusted boot.

To load the kernel via kexec_file_load system call, a small change
is also needed to kexec-tools. See [2]. This enables '-s' option.

As we discussed a long time ago, users may not be allowed to specify
device-tree file of the 2nd kernel explicitly with kexec-tools, hence
re-using the blob of the first kernel.

Regarding a signing method, we conform with x86 (or rather Microsoft?)
style of signing since the binary can also be seen as in PE format
(assuming that CONFIG_EFI is enabled).

    Powerpc is also going to support extended-file-attribute-based
    verification[3] with vmlinux, but arm64 doesn't for now partly
    because we don't have TPM-based IMA at this moment.

Accordingly, we can use the existing command, sbsign, to sign the kernel.

    $ sbsign --key ${KEY} --cert ${CERT} Image

Please note that it is totally up to the system what key/certificate is
used for signing, but one of easy ways to *try* this feature is to turn on
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG so that we can reuse certs/signing_key.pem as a signing
key, KEY and CERT above, for kernel.
(This also enables CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1 by default.)


Some concerns(or future works):
* Even if the kernel is configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the 2nd
  kernel won't be placed at a randomized address. We will have to
  add some boot code similar to efi-stub to implement the feature.
* While big-endian kernel can support kernel signing, I'm not sure that
  Image can be recognized as in PE format because x86 standard only
  defines little-endian-based format.
* IMA(and extended file attribute)-based kexec
* vmlinux support

Changes in v4 (Oct 2, 2017)
* reinstate x86's arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
* rename weak arch_kexec_kernel_xxx() to _kexec_kernel_xxx() for
  better re-use
* constify kexec_file_loaders[]

Changes in v3 (Sep 15, 2017)
* fix kbuild test error
* factor out arch_kexec_kernel_*() & arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
* remove CONFIG_CRASH_CORE guard from kexec_file.c
* add vmapped kernel region to vmcore for gdb backtracing
  (see prepare_elf64_headers())
* merge asm/kexec_file.h into asm/kexec.h
* and some cleanups

Changes in v2 (Sep 8, 2017)
* move core-header-related functions from crash_core.c to kexec_file.c
* drop hash-check code from purgatory
* modify purgatory asm to remove arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add()
* drop older kernel support
* drop vmlinux support (at least, for this series)

Patch #1 to #5 are all preparatory patches on generic side.
Patch #6 is purgatory code.
Patch #7 to #9 are common for enabling kexec_file_load.
Patch #10 is for 'Image' support.
