Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kexec_file: use more system keyrings to verify kernel
image signature

Currently, when loading a kernel image via the kexec_file_load() system call, arm64 can only use the .builtin_trusted_keys keyring to verify a signature whereas x86 can use three more keyrings i.e. .secondary_trusted_keys, .machine and .platform keyrings. For example, one resulting problem is kexec'ing a kernel image would be rejected with the error "Lockdown: kexec: kexec of unsigned images is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7".

This patch set enables arm64 to make use of the same keyrings as x86 to verify the signature kexec'ed kernel image.

Hi Greg,

This patch depends on three prerequisites but 5.18-stable tree has two prerequisites backported. So the full list of commit ids should be
