[PATCH v4 0/6] KEXEC_SIG with appended signature

Hello,

This is a refresh of the KEXEC_SIG series.

This adds KEXEC_SIG support on powerpc and deduplicates the code dealing
with appended signatures in the kernel.

powerpc supports IMA_KEXEC but that's an exception rather than the norm.
On the other hand, KEXEC_SIG is portable across platforms.

For distributions to have uniform security features across platforms one
option should be used on all platforms.

Thanks

Michal
