Define configuration option to load X509 certificate into the
IMA trusted kernel keyring. It implements ima_load_x509() hook
to load X509 certificate into the .ima trusted kernel keyring
from the root filesystem.

Changes in v3:
* use ima_policy_flag in ima_get_action()
  ima_load_x509 temporarily clears ima_policy_flag to disable
  appraisal to load key. Use it to skip appraisal rules.
* Key directory path changed to /etc/keys (Mimi)
* Expand IMA_LOAD_X509 Kconfig help

Changes in v2:
* added '__init'
* use ima_policy_flag to disable appraisal to load keys

<title>ima: detect violations for mmaped files</title>

<id>1b68bdf9cded82d37e443a20c5ed47bbb084d5dc</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the detection of the 'open_writers' violation for mmaped
files.

before) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the policy contains
        a rule with the criteria: func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ

after) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the current event
       matches one of the policy rules.

With the old behaviour, the 'open_writers' violation is not detected
in the following case:

policy:
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC

steps:
1) open a shared library for writing
2) execute a binary that links that shared library
3) during the binary execution, modify the shared library and save
   the change

result:
the 'open_writers' violation measurement is not present in the IMA list.

Only binaries executed are protected from writes. For libraries mapped
in memory there is the flag MAP_DENYWRITE for this purpose, but according
to the output of 'man mmap', the mmap flag is ignored.

Since ima_rdwr_violation_check() is now called by process_measurement()
the information about if the inode must be measured is already provided
by ima_get_action(). Thus the unnecessary function ima_must_measure()
has been removed.

Changes in v3 (Dmitry Kasatkin):
- Violation for MMAP_CHECK function are verified since this patch
- Changed patch description a bit

<title>ima: remove usage of filename parameter</title>

<content type='text'>
In all cases except ima_bprm_check() the filename was not defined
and ima_d_path() was used to find the full path.  Unfortunately,
the bprm filename is a relative pathname (eg. ./&lt;dir&gt;/filename).

ima_bprm_check() selects between bprm-&gt;interp and bprm-&gt;filename.
The following dump demonstrates the differences between using
filename and interp.

bprm-&gt;filename
 filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh
 filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /bin/dash

bprm-&gt;interp
 filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh
 filename: /bin/sh, pathname: /bin/dash

In both cases the pathnames are currently the same.  This patch
removes usage of filename and interp in favor of d_absolute_path.

Changes v3:
- 11 extra bytes for "deleted" not needed (Mimi)
- purpose "replace relative bprm filename with full pathname" (Mimi)

Changes v2:
- use d_absolute_path() instead of d_path to work in chroot environments.

<title>ima: audit log files opened with O_DIRECT flag</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Changelog v1:
- permit or deny file access based IMA policy rules

Between checkpatch changes (eg. sizeof) and inconsistencies between
Lindent and checkpatch, unfixed checkpatch errors make it difficult
to see new errors. This patch fixes them. Some lines with over 80 chars
remained unchanged to improve code readability.

The "extern" keyword is removed from internal evm.h to make it consistent
with internal ima.h.
