Subject: [PATCH v4 08/17] module: Deduplicate signature extraction
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 13:28:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113-module-hashes-v4-8-0b932db9b56b@weissschuh.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113-module-hashes-v4-0-0b932db9b56b@weissschuh.net>
The logic to extract the signature bits from a module file are
duplicated between the module core and IMA modsig appraisal.
Unify the implementation.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>
