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.
