[PATCH 00/16] [RFC PATCH] Signed kexec support

[Vivek Goyal]

Hi,

Matthew has been posting patches to lock down kernel either due to
secureboot requirements or because of signed modules with signing
enforced. In kernel lock down mode, kexec will be disabled and that
means kdump will not work either.

These patches sign /sbin/kexec and kernel verifies the signature
and allows loading a kernel if signature verification is successful.
IOW, trust is extended to validly signed user space.

Currently it works only for statically linked applications.

I have generated these patches on top of keys-devel branch of david howell's
linux-fs tree (as I required his system_kerying and trusted keyring patches
to build upon).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git keys-devel

These patches assume that matthew's patches to lockdown kernel will go
in some form (secure modules or secure levels or something else). Right
now I have hardcoded few things and will remove those once matthew's
patches are in. 

Some more details about design I have written here.

Any comments/feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
Vivek
