[PATCH 06/27] Copy secure_boot flag in boot params across kexec reboot

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Oct 19 2017 - 10:51:30 EST


From: Dave Young <dyoung@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kexec reboot in case secure boot being enabled does not keep the secure
boot mode in new kernel, so later one can load unsigned kernel via legacy
kexec_load. In this state, the system is missing the protections provided
by secure boot.

Adding a patch to fix this by retain the secure_boot flag in original
kernel.

secure_boot flag in boot_params is set in EFI stub, but kexec bypasses the
stub. Fixing this issue by copying secure_boot flag across kexec reboot.
