[PATCH v3 5/6] ima: require signature based appraisal

From: Dmitry Kasatkin
Date: Fri Oct 10 2014 - 10:11:47 EST


This patch provides kernel parameter CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_SIGNED_INIT
to force IMA appraisal using signatures. This is useful, when EVM key
is not initalized yet and we want securely initialize integrity or any
other functionality.

It forces embedded policy to require signature. Signed initialization
script can initialize EVM key, update the IMA policy and change further
requirement of everything to be signed.

Changes in v2:
* policy change of this patch separated from the key loading patch
