Subject: [PATCH v2] of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds

Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result
in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the
ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel.
The panic is usually of the form below:

$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'

 BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc000c01fff7f0000
 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000837974

Fix this issue by checking returned PFN range of previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer with pfn_valid to ensure correct memory bounds.

Changelog
==========

v2:
* Instead of using memblock to determine the valid bounds use pfn_valid() to do
so since memblock may not be available late after the kernel init. [ Mpe ]
* Changed the patch prefix from 'powerpc' to 'of' [ Mpe ]
* Updated the 'Fixes' tag to point to correct commit that introduced this
function. [ Rob ]
* Fixed some whitespace/tab issues in the patch description [ Rob ]
* Added another check for checking ig 'tmp_size' for ima-kexec-buffer is > 0
