  • c417fbce9   kbuild: move bin2c back to scripts/ from scripts/basic/ ... Browse Code »

    Commit 8370edea81e3 ("bin2c: move bin2c in scripts/basic") moved bin2c
    to the scripts/basic/ directory, incorrectly stating "Kexec wants to
    use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build process.
    See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches."

    Commit bdab125c9301 ("Revert "kexec/purgatory: Add clean-up for
    purgatory directory"") and commit d6605b6bbee8 ("x86/build: Remove
    unnecessary preparation for purgatory") removed the redundant
    purgatory build magic entirely.

    That means that the move of bin2c was unnecessary in the first place.

    fixdep is the only host program that deserves to sit in the
    scripts/basic/ directory.

    This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan
    to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already
    signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
    those signatures.

    Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
    image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
    should help with two things.

    - It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.

    - In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
    kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
    signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
    kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
    bypass any policy one wants to.

    This patch (of 15):

    Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
    process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.

    So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
    be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
