Subject: [PATCH V2] ima: do not copy measurement list to kdump kernel
Date: Tue, 13 May 2025 07:31:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250513143129.1165-1-chenste@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
From: Steven Chen <chenste@linux.microsoft.com>
Kdump kernel doesn't need IMA to do integrity measurement.
Hence the measurement list in 1st kernel doesn't need to be copied to
kdump kernel.
Here skip allocating buffer for measurement list copying if loading
kdump kernel. Then there won't be the later handling related to
ima_kexec_buffer.
