In preparation to move IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce the file_post_open hook. Also, export security_file_post_open() for NFS. Based on policy, IMA calculates the digest of the file content and extends the TPM with the digest, verifies the file's integrity based on the digest, and/or includes the file digest in the audit log. LSMs could similarly take action depending on the file content and the access mask requested with open(). The new hook returns a value and can cause the open to be aborted.

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.
