      ima: define template fields library and new helpers · 3ce1217d
      Roberto Sassu 提交于
      This patch defines a library containing two initial template fields,
      inode digest (d) and file name (n), the 'ima' template descriptor,
      whose format is 'd|n', and two helper functions,
      ima_write_template_field_data() and ima_show_template_field_data().
      
      Changelog:
      - replace ima_eventname_init() parameter NULL checking with BUG_ON.
        (suggested by Mimi)
      - include "new template fields for inode digest (d) and file name (n)"
        definitions to fix a compiler warning.  - Mimi
      - unnecessary to prefix static function names with 'ima_'. remove
        prefix to resolve Lindent formatting changes. - Mimi
      - abbreviated/removed inline comments - Mimi
      - always send the template field length - Mimi

      ima: new templates management mechanism · adf53a77
      Roberto Sassu 提交于
      The original 'ima' template is fixed length, containing the filedata hash
      and pathname.  The filedata hash is limited to 20 bytes (md5/sha1).  The
      pathname is a null terminated string, limited to 255 characters.  To
      overcome these limitations and to add additional file metadata, it is
      necessary to extend the current version of IMA by defining additional
      templates.
      
      The main reason to introduce this feature is that, each time a new
      template is defined, the functions that generate and display the
      measurement list would include the code for handling a new format and,
      thus, would significantly grow over time.
      
      This patch set solves this problem by separating the template management
      from the remaining IMA code. The core of this solution is the definition
      of two new data structures: a template descriptor, to determine which
      information should be included in the measurement list, and a template
      field, to generate and display data of a given type.
      
      To define a new template field, developers define the field identifier
      and implement two functions, init() and show(), respectively to generate
      and display measurement entries.  Initially, this patch set defines the
      following template fields (support for additional data types will be
      added later):
       - 'd': the digest of the event (i.e. the digest of a measured file),
              calculated with the SHA1 or MD5 hash algorithm;
       - 'n': the name of the event (i.e. the file name), with size up to
              255 bytes;
       - 'd-ng': the digest of the event, calculated with an arbitrary hash
                 algorithm (field format: [<hash algo>:]digest, where the digest
                 prefix is shown only if the hash algorithm is not SHA1 or MD5);
       - 'n-ng': the name of the event, without size limitations.
      
      Defining a new template descriptor requires specifying the template format,
      a string of field identifiers separated by the '|' character.  This patch
      set defines the following template descriptors:
       - "ima": its format is 'd|n';
       - "ima-ng" (default): its format is 'd-ng|n-ng'
      
      Further details about the new template architecture can be found in
      Documentation/security/IMA-templates.txt.
      
      Changelog:
      - don't defer calling ima_init_template() - Mimi
      - don't define ima_lookup_template_desc() until used - Mimi
      - squashed with documentation patch - Mimi
