[PATCH 5/7] ima: Introduce appraise_exec_immutable policy

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Fri Apr 09 2021 - 07:45:03 EST


This patch modifies the existing "appraise_exec_tcb" policy, by adding the
appraise_type=meta_immutable requirement for executed files. This policy
can be selected by specifying
ima_policy="appraise_exec_tcb|appraise_exec_immutable" in the kernel
command line.

+ The "appraise_exec_immutable" policy requires immutable
+ metadata for executed files, if the "appraise_exec_tcb"
+ policy is selected.

The "appraise_tmpfs" policy excludes the dont_appraise
rule for the tmpfs and ramfs filesystems for the
"appraise_tcb" and "appraise_exec_tcb" policies.
