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.

83		The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
84		all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
85		open for read by root in do_filp_open.  The default appraisal
86		policy appraises all files owned by root.

91			dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
92			dont_appraise obj_type=var_log_t
93			dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
94			dont_appraise obj_type=auditd_log_t
95			measure subj_user=system_u func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
