[PATCH v3] ima: add the ability to query the cached hash of a given file

From: Florent Revest
Date: Mon Jan 13 2020 - 04:43:23 EST


From: Florent Revest <revest@xxxxxxxxxx>

This allows other parts of the kernel (perhaps a stacked LSM allowing
system monitoring, eg. the proposed KRSI LSM [1]) to retrieve the hash
of a given file from IMA if it's present in the iint cache.

It's true that the existence of the hash means that it's also in the
audit logs or in /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements,
but it can be difficult to pull that information out for every
subsequent exec. This is especially true if a given host has been up
for a long time and the file was first measured a long time ago.

It should be kept in mind that this function gives access to cached
entries which can be removed, for instance on security_inode_free().

This is based on Peter Moody's patch:
