> From: Jonathan McDowell <noodles@fb.com>

> On kexec file load, the 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 and ARM64 both achieve this using device tree with a
> "linux,ima-kexec-buffer" node. x86 platforms generally don't make use of
> device tree, so use the setup_data mechanism to pass the IMA buffer to
> the new kernel.
