Subject: [PATCH v12 8/9] ima: make the kexec extra memory configurable
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 19:10:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250416021028.1403-9-chenste@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250416021028.1403-1-chenste@linux.microsoft.com>
From: Steven Chen <chenste@linux.microsoft.com>
The extra memory allocated for carrying the IMA measurement list across
kexec is hard-coded as half a PAGE. Make it configurable.
Define a Kconfig option, IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_MEMORY_KB, to configure the
extra memory (in kb) to be allocated for IMA measurements added during
kexec soft reboot. Ensure the default value of the option is set such
that extra half a page of memory for additional measurements is allocated
for the additional measurements.
Update ima_add_kexec_buffer() function to allocate memory based on the
Kconfig option value, rather than the currently hard-coded one.
