From 0ff9848067b7b950a4ed70de7f5028600a2157e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ke Wu Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 12:22:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] security/loadpin: Allow to exclude specific file types Linux kernel already provide MODULE_SIG and KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG to make sure loaded kernel module and kernel image are trusted. This patch adds a kernel command line option "loadpin.exclude" which allows to exclude specific file types from LoadPin. This is useful when people want to use different mechanisms to verify module and kernel image while still use LoadPin to protect the integrity of other files kernel loads.
