This patch defines a new IMA hook namely ima_post_key_create_or_update()
to measure asymmetric keys.

It's not enough for the kernel to be able to compile the kernel after
applying all the patches in a patch set. ÂAfter applying each patch,
the kernel should build properly, otherwise it is not bi-sect safe.

"Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

I started with kernel version 5.3 for this patch set.
I applied Nayna's process_buffer_measurement() patch and then built my changes on top of that.
This patch has no other dependency as far as I know.

Are you seeing a build break after applying this patch alone?

(PATCH v3 1/9) KEYS: Defined an IMA hook to measure keys on key create or update

This patch should also define the new "func".


Ok - I'll make that change.
