On x86, there are two methods of verifying a kexec'ed kernel image signature being loaded via the kexec_file_load syscall - an architecture specific implementaton or a IMA KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraisal rule. Neither of these methods verify the kexec'ed kernel image signature being loaded via the kexec_load syscall. Secure boot enabled systems require kexec images to be signed. Therefore, this patch loads an IMA KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK policy rule on secure boot enabled systems not configured with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. When IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM is configured, different IMA appraise modes (eg. fix, log) can be specified on the boot command line, allowing unsigned or invalidly signed kernel images to be kexec'ed. This patch permits enabling IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM or IMA_ARCH_POLICY, but not both.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
