-Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen/arm: Boot modules should always be scrubbed if
- bootscrub={on, idle}
-
-The function to initialize the pages (see init_heap_pages()) will request
-scrub when the admin request idle bootscrub (default) and state ==
-SYS_STATE_active. When bootscrub=on, Xen will scrub any free pages in
-heap_init_late().
-
-Currently, the boot modules (e.g. kernels, initramfs) will be discarded/
-freed after heap_init_late() is called and system_state switched to
-SYS_STATE_active. This means the pages associated with the boot modules
-will not get scrubbed before getting re-purposed.
-
-If the memory is assigned to an untrusted domU, it may be able to
-retrieve secrets from the modules.
-
-This is part of XSA-372 / CVE-2021-28693.
-
-Fixes: 1774e9b1df27 ("xen/arm: introduce create_domUs")
