I'd prefer if over through modules tree as it can give a chance for Aaron Tomlin to work with this for his code refactoring of kernel/module*.c to kernel/module/ Luis

Ok sounds good thanks. Luis

This Kconfig carries the IMA measurement list across kexec. This has nothing to do with appended signatures. config IMA_KEXEC bool "Enable carrying the IMA measurement list across a soft boot" depends on IMA && TCG_TPM && HAVE_IMA_KEXEC In addition to powerpc, arm64 sets HAVE_IMA_KEXEC. Even prior to the kexec appended signature support, like all other files, the kexec kernel image signature could be stored in security.ima. > > For distributions to have uniform security features across platforms one > option should be used on all platforms. The kexec kernel image measurement will not be included in the BIOS event log. Even if the measurement is included in the IMA measurement list, without the IMA_KEXEC Kconfig the measurement list will not be carried across kexec. For those not interested in "trusted boot" or those who do not need it for compliance, the simplification should be fine.

FYI, commit 65e38e32a959 ("selftests/kexec: Enable secureboot tests for PowerPC") recently was upstreamed.
Hello, This is a refresh of the KEXEC_SIG series. This adds KEXEC_SIG support on powerpc and deduplicates the code dealing with appended signatures in the kernel. powerpc supports IMA_KEXEC but that's an exception rather than the norm. On the other hand, KEXEC_SIG is portable across platforms. For distributions to have uniform security features across platforms one option should be used on all platforms.
