    ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signatures · 503ceaef
    Mimi Zohar authored
    The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for
    at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec
    kernel image), but changing it would break the existing userspace/kernel
    ABI.
    
    This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which
    can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently
    or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing
    ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot".  The new appraisal rules
    requiring file signatures will be added prior to the "ima_appraise_tcb"
    rules.
