The phrase "unless both IMA_ARCH_POLICY and secure boot also enabled" doesn't reflect the code. IMA could contain a custom policy rule which requires the kexec kernel image signature verification as well. Refer to the comment now in mandate_signature_verification(). thanks, Mimi _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
