Subject: [PATCH] x86/kexec: add a sanity check on previous kernel's ima kexec
 buffer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When the second-stage kernel is booted via kexec with a limiting command
line such as "mem=<size>", the physical range that contains the carried
over IMA measurement list may fall outside the truncated RAM leading to a
kernel panic.

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff97793ff47000
    RIP: ima_restore_measurement_list+0xdc/0x45a
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) – not-present page

Other architectures already validate the range with page_is_ram(), as done
in commit cbf9c4b9617b ("of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer
against memory bounds") do a similar check on x86.

Without carrying the measurement list across kexec, the attestation
would fail.
