      ima: remove the IMA_TEMPLATE Kconfig option · 891163ad
      GUO Zihua authored
      The original 'ima' measurement list template contains a hash, defined
      as 20 bytes, and a null terminated pathname, limited to 255
      characters.  Other measurement list templates permit both larger hashes
      and longer pathnames.  When the "ima" template is configured as the
      default, a new measurement list template (ima_template=) must be
      specified before specifying a larger hash algorithm (ima_hash=) on the
      boot command line.
      
      To avoid this boot command line ordering issue, remove the legacy "ima"
      template configuration option, allowing it to still be specified on the
      boot command line.
      
      The root cause of this issue is that during the processing of ima_hash,
      we would try to check whether the hash algorithm is compatible with the
      template. If the template is not set at the moment we do the check, we
      check the algorithm against the configured default template. If the
      default template is "ima", then we reject any hash algorithm other than
      sha1 and md5.
      
      For example, if the compiled default template is "ima", and the default
      algorithm is sha1 (which is the current default). In the cmdline, we put
      in "ima_hash=sha256 ima_template=ima-ng". The expected behavior would be
      that ima starts with ima-ng as the template and sha256 as the hash
      algorithm. However, during the processing of "ima_hash=",
      "ima_template=" has not been processed yet, and hash_setup would check
      the configured hash algorithm against the compiled default: ima, and
      reject sha256. So at the end, the hash algorithm that is actually used
      will be sha1.
      
      With template "ima" removed from the configured default, we ensure that
      the default tempalte would at least be "ima-ng" which allows for
      basically any hash algorithm.
      
      This change would not break the algorithm compatibility checks for IMA.
