A buffer(kexec boot command line arguments) measured into IMA measuremnt list cannot be appraised, without already being aware of the buffer contents. Since hashes are non-reversible, raw buffer is needed for validation or regenerating hash for appraisal/attestation. Add support to store/read the buffer contents in HEX. The kexec cmdline hash is stored in the "d-ng" field of the template data. It can be verified using sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | grep kexec-cmdline | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p | sha256sum - Add two new fields to ima_event_data to hold the buf and buf_len - Add a new template field 'buf' to be used to store/read the buffer data. - Updated process_buffer_meaurement to add the buffer to ima_event_data. process_buffer_measurement added in "Define a new IMA hook to measure the boot command line arguments" - Add a new template policy name ima-buf to represent 'd-ng|n-ng|buf' Signed-off-by: Prakhar Srivastava <prsriva02@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jamorris@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
