Subject: [PATCH v10 2/8] ima: define and call ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf()
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:04:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318010448.954-3-chenste@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318010448.954-1-chenste@linux.microsoft.com>
Carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec requires allocating a
buffer and copying the measurement records. Separate allocating the
buffer and copying the measurement records into separate functions in
order to allocate the buffer at kexec 'load' and copy the measurements
at kexec 'execute'.
This patch includes the following changes:
- Refactor ima_dump_measurement_list() to move the memory allocation
to a separate function ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf() which allocates
buffer of size 'kexec_segment_size' at kexec 'load'.
- Make the local variable ima_kexec_file in ima_dump_measurement_list()
a local static to the file, so that it can be accessed from
ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf().
- Make necessary changes to the function ima_add_kexec_buffer() to call
the above two functions.
