Linux does not handle any secure binaries. It only shares a filesystem where the signed and encrypted secure images are. The loadercode verification is not done in Linux, rather the insecure bootloader will read it from the filesystem load it to some memory address, that's it. From there, it is integrity-checked (?) and then executes on the second, secure core. This will then verify and chainload the secure image.
