arm64: kexec_file: allow for loading Image-format kernel
This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified in text_offset field of its header. Regarding signature verification for trusted boot, this patch doesn't contains CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG support, which is to be added later in this series, but file-attribute-based verification is still a viable option by enabling IMA security subsystem. You can sign(label) a to-be-kexec'ed kernel image on target file system with: $ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem Image On live system, you must have IMA enforced with, at least, the following security policy: "appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig" See more details about IMA here: https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-ima/wiki/Home/Signed-off-by: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Reviewed-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
