Commit Message

The amount of memory allocated at kexec load, even with the extra memory
allocated, might not be large enough for the entire measurement list.  The
indeterminate interval between kexec 'load' and 'execute' could exacerbate
this problem.

Define two new IMA events, 'kexec_load' and 'kexec_execute', to be 
measured as critical data at kexec 'load' and 'execute' respectively.
Report the allocated kexec segment size, IMA binary log size and the
runtime measurements count as part of those events.

These events, and the values reported through them, serve as markers in
the IMA log to verify the IMA events are captured during kexec soft
reboot.  The presence of a 'kexec_load' event in between the last two
'boot_aggregate' events in the IMA log implies this is a kexec soft
reboot, and not a cold-boot. And the absence of 'kexec_execute' event
after kexec soft reboot implies missing events in that window which
results in inconsistency with TPM PCR quotes, necessitating a cold boot
for a successful remote attestation.

As a reminder, please include directions for verifying the buffer data hash against
the buffer data.  The directions would be similar to those in commit 6b4da8c0e7f
("IMA: Define a new template field buf").

From scripts/checkpatch.pl, "Alignment should match open parenthesis".

From the kernel-doc scnprintf(), returns the number of bytes.  There should be no
need to calculate it using strlen().

After fixing up and applying this patch set to 6.14.0-rc1, I'm not seeing the
"kexec_execute".  Even after changing the default extra memory, I'm still not seeing
the measurement.

FYI, after reverting commit 254ef9541d68 ("ima: Suspend PCR extends and log appends
when rebooting"), I'm seeing the "kexec_execute" measurement.

I would try sth. like this:
static int ima_reboot_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
			       unsigned long action,
			       void *data)
{
	if (action == SYS_RESTART && data && !strcmp(data, "kexec reboot"))
		ima_measure_kexec_event("kexec_execute");
