The IMA hook is defined in a new file namely ima_asymmetric_keys.c

I think instead of CONFIG_KEYS I should use CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE for ima_asymmetric_keys.c since this config is enabled only when both CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE and CONFIG_KEYS are enabled.

Please see below taken from "crypto/asymmetric_keys/Kconfig"

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
menuconfig ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
bool "Asymmetric (public-key cryptographic) key type"
depends on KEYS
help
This option provides support for a key type that holds the data for
the asymmetric keys used for public key cryptographic operations such
as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature
verification.

if ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE

config ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE
tristate "Asymmetric public-key crypto algorithm subtype"

endif # ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
