[PATCH v6 7/8] IMA: add a built-in policy rule for critical data measurement

From: Tushar Sugandhi
Date: Thu Nov 19 2020 - 18:27:06 EST


From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The IMA hook to measure kernel critical data, namely
ima_measure_critical_data(), could be called before a custom IMA policy
is loaded. Define a new critical data builtin policy to allow measuring
early kernel integrity critical data before a custom IMA policy is
loaded.

Add critical data to built-in IMA rules if the kernel command line
contains "ima_policy=critical_data".
