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.

109		The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
110		all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
111		open for read by root in do_filp_open.  The default appraisal
112		policy appraises all files owned by root.

114		Examples of LSM specific definitions:
115
116		SELinux::
117
118			dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
119			dont_appraise obj_type=var_log_t
120			dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
121			dont_appraise obj_type=auditd_log_t
122			measure subj_user=system_u func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
123			measure subj_role=system_r func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
124
125		Smack::
126
127			measure subj_user=_ func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
128
129		Example of measure rules using alternate PCRs::
130
131			measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK pcr=4
132			measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK pcr=5
133
134		Example of appraise rule allowing modsig appended signatures:
135
136			appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig|modsig
137
138		Example of measure rule using KEY_CHECK to measure all keys:
139
140			measure func=KEY_CHECK
141
142		Example of measure rule using KEY_CHECK to only measure
143		keys added to .builtin_trusted_keys or .ima keyring:
144
145			measure func=KEY_CHECK keyrings=.builtin_trusted_keys|.ima
146
147		Example of the special SETXATTR_CHECK appraise rule, that
148		restricts the hash algorithms allowed when writing to the
149		security.ima xattr of a file:
150
151			appraise func=SETXATTR_CHECK appraise_algos=sha256,sha384,sha512
