Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2013 19:50:15 -0400 From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@...ula.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-efi@...r.kernel.org, keescook@...omium.org, hpa@...or.com, Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@...ula.com> Subject: [PATCH V3 08/11] kexec: Disable at runtime if the kernel enforces module loading restrictions kexec permits the loading and execution of arbitrary code in ring 0, which is something that module signing enforcement is meant to prevent. It makes sense to disable kexec in this situation.
