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

if path reconstruction fails. It simplifies callers actions
and removes code duplication.

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.

<title>ima: properly free ima_template_entry structures</title>

<id>a7ed7c60e14df5b986f93549717235b882643e7e</id>
<content type='text'>
The new templates management mechanism records information associated
to an event into an array of 'ima_field_data' structures and makes it
available through the 'template_data' field of the 'ima_template_entry'
structure (the element of the measurements list created by IMA).

Since 'ima_field_data' contains dynamically allocated data (which length
varies depending on the data associated to a selected template field),
it is not enough to just free the memory reserved for a
'ima_template_entry' structure if something goes wrong.

This patch creates the new function ima_free_template_entry() which
walks the array of 'ima_field_data' structures, frees the memory
referenced by the 'data' pointer and finally the space reserved for
the 'ima_template_entry' structure. Further, it replaces existing kfree()
that have a pointer to an 'ima_template_entry' structure as argument
with calls to the new function.

<title>ima: extend the measurement list to include the file signature</title>

<id>bcbc9b0cf6d8f340a1d166e414f4612b353f7a9b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch defines a new template called 'ima-sig', which includes
the file signature in the template data, in addition to the file's
digest and pathname.

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.

Changelog:
- remove unused code (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- avoid calling ima_write_template_field_data() unnecesarily (Roberto Sassu)
- rename DATA_FMT_SIG to DATA_FMT_HEX
- cleanup ima_eventsig_init() based on Roberto's comments

This patch performs the switch to the new template mechanism by modifying
the functions ima_alloc_init_template(), ima_measurements_show() and
ima_ascii_measurements_show(). The old function ima_template_show() was
removed as it is no longer needed. Also, if the template descriptor used
to generate a measurement entry is not 'ima', the whole length of field
data stored for an entry is provided before the data itself through the
binary_runtime_measurement interface.

Changelog:
- unnecessary to use strncmp() (Mimi Zohar)
- create new variable 'field' in ima_alloc_init_template() (Roberto Sassu)
- use GFP_NOFS flag in ima_alloc_init_template() (Roberto Sassu)
- new variable 'num_fields' in ima_store_template() (Roberto Sassu,
  proposed by Mimi Zohar)
- rename ima_calc_buffer_hash/template_hash() to ima_calc_field_array_hash(),
  something more generic (Mimi, requested by Dmitry)
- sparse error fix - Fengguang Wu
- fix lindent warnings
- always include the field length in the template data length
- include the template field length variable size in the template data length
- include both the template field data and field length in the template digest
  calculation. Simplifies verifying the template digest. (Mimi)
