Subject: [RESEND PATCH v1 1/1] s390/kexec: Make KEXEC_SIG available when CONFIG_MODULES=n
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 14:33:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260209133308.118364-1-egorenar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The commit c8424e776b09 ("MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions")
replaced the dependency of KEXEC_SIG on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION with
the dependency on MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. This change disables KEXEC_SIG
in s390 kernels built with MODULES=n if nothing else selects
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT.
Furthermore, the signature verification in s390 kexec does not require
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT because it requires only the struct module_signature and,
therefore, does not depend on code in kernel/module_signature.c.
But making ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG depend on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
is also incorrect because it makes KEXEC_SIG available on s390 only
if some other arbitrary option (for instance a file system or device driver)
selects it directly or indirectly.
To properly make KEXEC_SIG available for s390 kernels built with MODULES=y
as well as MODULES=n _and_ also not depend on arbitrary options selecting
SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION, we set ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG=y for s390 and
select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION when KEXEC_SIG=y.
Fixes: c8424e776b09 ("MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions")

This option makes the kexec_file_load() syscall check for a valid
signature of the kernel image. The image can still be loaded without
