Commit Message

Daniel P. Smith May 31, 2022, 3:08 p.m. UTC
Previously, initializing the policy buffer was split between two functions,
xsm_{multiboot,dt}_policy_init() and xsm_core_init(). The latter for loading
the policy from boot modules and the former for falling back to built-in policy.

This patch moves all policy buffer initialization logic under the
xsm_{multiboot,dt}_policy_init() functions. It then ensures that an error
message is printed for every error condition that may occur in the functions.
With all policy buffer init contained and only called when the policy buffer
must be populated, the respective xsm_{mb,dt}_init() functions will panic if an
error occurs attempting to populate the policy buffer.

"flask=late" is also a mode where, afaict, no policy is required. I can't,
however, see how you're taking care of that (but maybe I'm overlooking
something); inspecting flask_bootparam in generic XSM code would actually
be a layering violation.

I don't think we're dealing with an array here, so const unsigned char **
would seem the more correct representation to me.

Also - what about the DT counterpart function?

Good point, flask=late is meant to be enforcing with a late loading of a
policy file. I will address it.
