4Description:
5		The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
6		Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
7		values of executables and other sensitive system files
8		loaded into the run-time of this system.  At runtime,
9		the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
10		Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
11		by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
12		then closing the file.  The new policy takes effect after
13		the file ima/policy is closed.
14
15		IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
16		for local measurement appraisal.

20		action: measure | dont_measure | appraise | dont_appraise |
21			audit | hash | dont_hash

90		The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
91		all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
92		open for read by root in do_filp_open.  The default appraisal
93		policy appraises all files owned by root.

95		Examples of LSM specific definitions:

97		SELinux:
98			dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
99			dont_appraise obj_type=var_log_t
100			dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
101			dont_appraise obj_type=auditd_log_t
102			measure subj_user=system_u func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
103			measure subj_role=system_r func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
104
105		Smack:
106			measure subj_user=_ func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
107
108		Example of measure rules using alternate PCRs:
109
110			measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK pcr=4
111			measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK pcr=5
112
113		Example of appraise rule allowing modsig appended signatures:
114
115			appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig|modsig
116
117		Example of measure rule using KEY_CHECK to measure all keys:
118
119			measure func=KEY_CHECK
