ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot
Currently, the function kexec_calculate_store_digests() calculates and stores the digest of the segment during the kexec_file_load syscall, where the IMA segment is also allocated. Later, the IMA segment will be updated with the measurement log at the kexec execute stage when a kexec reboot is initiated. Therefore, the digests should be updated for the IMA segment in the normal case. The problem is that the content of memory segments carried over to the new kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute' stage, but the size and the location of the memory segments cannot be changed at kexec 'execute' stage. To address this, skip the calculation and storage of the digest for the IMA segment in kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added to the purgatory_sha_regions. With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest calculation, storage, and verification.
