Steven Chen 9ee8888a80 ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot
Currently, the function kexec_calculate_store_digests() calculates and
stores the digest of the segment during the kexec_file_load syscall,
where the  IMA segment is also allocated.

Later, the IMA segment will be updated with the measurement log at the
kexec execute stage when a kexec reboot is initiated. Therefore, the
digests should be updated for the IMA segment in the  normal case. The
problem is that the content of memory segments carried over to the new
kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute'
stage, but the size and the location of the memory segments cannot be
changed at kexec 'execute' stage.

To address this, skip the calculation and storage of the digest for the
IMA segment in kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added
to the purgatory_sha_regions.

With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest
calculation, storage, and verification.

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 reStructuredText 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.
