kexec_file, arm64: print out debugging message if required

Then when specifying '-d' for kexec_file_load interface, loaded locations
of kernel/initrd/cmdline etc can be printed out to help debug.

Here replace pr_debug() with the newly added kexec_dprintk() in kexec_file
loading related codes.

And also remove the kimage->segment[] printing because the generic code
has done the printing.

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.

arm64: kexec_file: Fix sparse warning

Sparse gets cross about us returning 0 from image_load(), which has a
return type of 'void *':

>> arch/arm64/kernel/kexec_image.c:130:16: sparse: sparse: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

Return NULL instead, as we don't use the return value for anything if it
does not indicate an error.

arm64: kexec_file: try more regions if loading segments fails

It's possible that the first region picked for the new kernel will make
it impossible to fit the other segments in the required 32GB window,
especially if we have a very large initrd.

Instead of giving up, we can keep testing other regions for the kernel
until we find one that works.

arm64: kexec_file: add crash dump support

Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes
* prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore,
using crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), and
* add two device tree properties, "linux,usable-memory-range" and
"linux,elfcorehdr", which represent respectively a memory range
to be used by crash dump kernel and the header's location

arm64/kexec: Use consistent convention of initializing 'kxec_buf.mem' with KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN

With commit b6664ba42f14 ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()"),
we introduced the KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN macro. If kexec_buf.mem is set
to this value, kexec_locate_mem_hole() will try to allocate free memory.

While other arch(s) like s390 and x86_64 already use this macro to
initialize kexec_buf.mem with, arm64 uses an equivalent value of 0.
Replace it with KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN, to keep the convention of
initializing 'kxec_buf.mem' consistent across various archs.

docs: arm64: convert docs to ReST and rename to .rst

The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
- fixing tables markups;
- adding some lists markups;
- marking literal blocks;
- adjust some title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

arm64: kexec_file: forbid kdump via kexec_file_load()

Now that kexec_walk_memblock() can do the crash-kernel placement itself
architectures that don't support kdump via kexe_file_load() need to
explicitly forbid it.

We don't support this on arm64 until the kernel can add the elfcorehdr
and usable-memory-range fields to the DT. Without these the crash-kernel
overwrites the previous kernel's memory during startup.

Add a check to refuse crash image loading.

arm64: kexec_file: add kernel signature verification support

With this patch, kernel verification can be done without IMA security
subsystem enabled. Turn on CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG instead.

On x86, a signature is embedded into a PE file (Microsoft's format) header
of binary. Since arm64's "Image" can also be seen as a PE file as far as
CONFIG_EFI is enabled, we adopt this format for kernel signing.

You can create a signed kernel image with:
$ sbsign --key ${KEY} --cert ${CERT} Image

# f3b70e50 14-Nov-2018 AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>

arm64: kexec_file: allow for loading Image-format kernel

This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this
implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified
in text_offset field of its header.

Regarding signature verification for trusted boot, this patch doesn't
contains CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG support, which is to be added later
in this series, but file-attribute-based verification is still a viable
option by enabling IMA security subsystem.

You can sign(label) a to-be-kexec'ed kernel image on target file system
with:
$ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem Image

On live system, you must have IMA enforced with, at least, the following
security policy:
"appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig"

See more details about IMA here:
