ima: define a new policy condition based on the filesystem name
If/when file data signatures are distributed with the file data, this
patch will not be needed. In the current environment where only some
files are signed, the ability to differentiate between file systems is
needed. Some file systems consider the file system magic number
internal to the file system.
This patch defines a new IMA policy condition named "fsname", based on
the superblock's file_system_type (sb->s_type) name. This allows policy
rules to be expressed in terms of the filesystem name.
The following sample rules require file signatures on rootfs files
executed or mmap'ed.
appraise func=BPRM_CHECK fsname=rootfs appraise_type=imasig
appraise func=FILE_MMAP fsname=rootfs appraise_type=imasig
