On kexec file load Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) subsystem
may verify the IMA signature of the kernel and initramfs, and measure
it. The command line parameters passed to the kernel in the kexec call
may also be measured by IMA. A remote attestation service can verify
a TPM quote based on the TPM event log, the IMA measurement list, and
the TPM PCR data. This can be achieved only if the IMA measurement log
is carried over from the current kernel to the next kernel across
the kexec call.

powerpc already supports carrying forward the IMA measurement log on
kexec. This patch set adds support for carrying forward the IMA
measurement log on kexec on ARM64.

This patch set moves the platform independent code defined for powerpc
such that it can be reused for other platforms as well. A chosen node
"linux,ima-kexec-buffer" is added to the DTB for ARM64 to hold
the address and the size of the memory reserved to carry
the IMA measurement log.

This patch set has been tested for ARM64 platform using QEMU.
I would like help from the community for testing this change on powerpc.
Thanks.

This patch set is based on
commit f31e3386a4e9 ("ima: Free IMA measurement buffer after kexec syscall")
in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity.git
"ima-kexec-fixes" branch.

Lakshmi Ramasubramanian (10):
kexec: Move ELF fields to struct kimage
arm64: Use ELF fields defined in 'struct kimage'
powerpc: Use ELF fields defined in 'struct kimage'
x86: Use ELF fields defined in 'struct kimage'
powerpc: Move ima buffer fields to struct kimage
powerpc: Enable passing IMA log to next kernel on kexec
powerpc: Move arch independent ima kexec functions to
drivers/of/kexec.c
kexec: Use fdt_appendprop_addrrange() to add ima buffer to FDT
powerpc: Delete unused function delete_fdt_mem_rsv()
arm64: Enable passing IMA log to next kernel on kexec

Rob Herring (3):
of: Add a common kexec FDT setup function
arm64: Use common of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()
powerpc: Use common of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()

Thanks a lot Rob.
