[File] [PATCH] ARM/ARM64 Kernel magic patterns

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hello,

Included are three patches:

1) Resolves a minor issue with how the current magic file patterns for ARM
kernels detects big endian zImages.

2) Adds a new pattern for ARM64 kernel images.

3) The third adds a pattern for ARM uncompressed Images. Although these are
rarer they are still valid kernel build artefacts.
Note: In the third patch there is no defined header or magic value for
uncompressed ARM kernel Images, so the pattern is
matching against a characteristic opcode pattern that has been present for
many years. I'm not sure what the policy for such
"fuzzy" patterns is. The current pattern matches 40 bits found in a 320 bit
window at the start of the file. I'm not sure if this is
precise enough. If this is not acceptable please disregard this third patch.


Thanks,
Jonathan Duncan
