When IMA did not support ima-appraisal, existance of the S_IMA flag
clearly indicated that the file was measured. With IMA appraisal S_IMA
flag indicates that file was measured and/or appraised. Because of
this, when measurement is not enabled by the policy, violations are
still reported.
To differentiate between measurement and appraisal policies this
patch checks the inode integrity cache flags. The IMA_MEASURED
flag indicates whether the file was actually measured, while the
IMA_MEASURE flag indicates whether the file should be measured.
Unfortunately, the IMA_MEASURED flag is reset to indicate the file
needs to be re-measured. Thus, this patch checks the IMA_MEASURE
flag.
This patch limits the false positive violation reports, but does
not fix it entirely. The IMA_MEASURE/IMA_MEASURED flags are
indications that, at some point in time, the file opened for read
was in policy, but might not be in policy now (eg. different uid).
Other changes would be needed to further limit false positive
violation reports.

Files are measured or appraised based on the IMA policy. When a
file, in policy, is opened with the O_DIRECT flag, a deadlock
occurs.
The first attempt at resolving this lockdep temporarily removed the
O_DIRECT flag and restored it, after calculating the hash. The
second attempt introduced the O_DIRECT_HAVELOCK flag. Based on this
flag, do_blockdev_direct_IO() would skip taking the i_mutex a second
time. The third attempt, by Dmitry Kasatkin, resolves the i_mutex
locking issue, by re-introducing the IMA mutex, but uncovered
another problem. Reading a file with O_DIRECT flag set, writes
directly to userspace pages. A second patch allocates a user-space
like memory. This works for all IMA hooks, except ima_file_free(),
which is called on __fput() to recalculate the file hash.
Until this last issue is addressed, do not 'collect' the
measurement for measuring, appraising, or auditing files opened
with the O_DIRECT flag set. Based on policy, permit or deny file
access. This patch defines a new IMA policy rule option named
'permit_directio'. Policy rules could be defined, based on LSM
or other criteria, to permit specific applications to open files
with the O_DIRECT flag set.

This patch defines a new template called 'ima-sig', which includes

A template is composed of a set of fields. Associated with each
field is an initialization and display function. This patch defines
a new template field called 'sig', the initialization function
ima_eventsig_init(), and the display function ima_show_template_sig().
This patch modifies the .field_init() function definition to include
the 'security.ima' extended attribute and length.

The IMA measurement list contains two hashes - a template data hash
and a filedata hash. The template data hash is committed to the TPM,
which is limited, by the TPM v1.2 specification, to 20 bytes. The
filedata hash is defined as 20 bytes as well.
Now that support for variable length measurement list templates was
added, the filedata hash is not limited to 20 bytes. This patch adds
Kconfig support for defining larger default filedata hash algorithms
and replacing the builtin default with one specified on the kernel
command line.
<uapi/linux/hash_info.h> contains a list of hash algorithms. The
Kconfig default hash algorithm is a subset of this list, but any hash
algorithm included in the list can be specified at boot, using the
'ima_hash=' kernel command line option.

With the new IMA policy 'appraise_type=' option, different hooks
can require different methods for appraising a file's integrity.
For example, the existing 'ima_appraise_tcb' policy defines a
generic rule, requiring all root files to be appraised, without
specfying the appraisal method. A more specific rule could require
all kernel modules, for example, to be signed.
appraise fowner=0 func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_type=imasig
appraise fowner=0

for different hooks, could differ. This patch caches the integrity
appraisal results on a per hook basis.

IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the
integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal
extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the
measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute
'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are
hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature
based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides
authenticity.
This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing
the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by
EVM, if enabled and configured.
Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata
integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value
with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'.

The original ima_must_measure() function based its results on cached
iint information, which required an iint be allocated for all files.
Currently, an iint is allocated only for files in policy. As a result,
for those files in policy, ima_must_measure() is now called twice: once
to determine if the inode is in the measurement policy and, the second
time, to determine if it needs to be measured/re-measured.
The second call to ima_must_measure() unnecessarily checks to see if
the file is in policy. As we already know the file is in policy, this
patch removes the second unnecessary call to ima_must_measure(), removes
the vestige iint parameter, and just checks the iint directly to determine
if the inode has been measured or needs to be measured/re-measured.

Lets assume we have a policy which states that all files opened for read
by root must be measured.
Lets assume the file has permissions 777.
Lets assume that root has the given file open for read.
Lets assume that a non-root process opens the file write.
The non-root process will get to ima_counts_get() and will check the
ima_must_measure(). Since it is not supposed to measure it will goto
out.
We should check the i_readcount no matter what since we might be causing
a ToMToU voilation!
This is close to correct, but still not quite perfect. The situation
could have been that root, which was interested in the mesurement opened
and closed the file and another process which is not interested in the
measurement is the one holding the i_readcount ATM. This is just overly
strict on ToMToU violations, which is better than not strict enough...

IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in
core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however
(especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need
any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to
know information about the number of readers and the number of writers
for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information
in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This
patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually
stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely
needed.
This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data.
Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still
be possible.

IMA tracks the number of struct files which are holding a given inode
readonly and the number which are holding the inode write or r/w. It
needs this information so when a new reader or writer comes in it can
tell if this new file will be able to invalidate results it already made
about existing files.
aka if a task is holding a struct file open RO, IMA measured the file
and recorded those measurements and then a task opens the file RW IMA
needs to note in the logs that the old measurement may not be correct.
It's called a "Time of Measure Time of Use" (ToMToU) issue. The same is
true is a RO file is opened to an inode which has an open writer. We
cannot, with any validity, measure the file in question since it could
be changing.
This patch attempts to use the i_writecount field to track writers. The
i_writecount field actually embeds more information in it's value than
IMA needs but it should work for our purposes and allow us to shrink the
struct inode even more.
