Subject: [PATCH] ima: allow users to specify the pcr index with IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 17:22:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824162215.1572367-1-julianbraha@gmail.com> (raw)
The IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX option is currently not visible in the kconfig
frontend, so it always uses its default, 10. This means that the
'range 8 14' is dead code, and users are unable to specify the pcr index
value.
In a previous discussion, Mimi explained that users should be able to use
this config option to specify the pcr index. [1]
Let's add a prompt for users to specify the pcr index, when EXPERT is
enabled.
This dead range was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.
