Roberto Sassu says: ==================== Extend the interoperability with IMA, to give wider flexibility for the implementation of integrity-focused LSMs based on eBPF. Patch 1 fixes some style issues. Patches 2-6 give the ability to eBPF-based LSMs to take advantage of the measurement capability of IMA without needing to setup a policy in IMA (those LSMs might implement the policy capability themselves). Patches 7-9 allow eBPF-based LSMs to evaluate files read by the kernel. Changelog v2: - Add better description to patch 1 (suggested by Shuah) - Recalculate digest if it is not fresh (when IMA_COLLECTED flag not set) - Move declaration of bpf_ima_file_hash() at the end (suggested by Yonghong) - Add tests to check if the digest has been recalculated - Add deny test for bpf_kernel_read_file() - Add description to tests v1: - Modify ima_file_hash() only and allow the usage of the function with the modified behavior by eBPF-based LSMs through the new function bpf_ima_file_hash() (suggested by Mimi) - Make bpf_lsm_kernel_read_file() sleepable so that bpf_ima_inode_hash() and bpf_ima_file_hash() can be called inside the implementation of eBPF-based LSMs for this hook ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
