[PATCH v3 0/9] ima: carry the measurement list across kexec

From: Mimi Zohar

The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot. In order to validate a
TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg. kexec -e), the IMA measurement list
of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the subsequent
boot, possibly of a different architecture.

The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently
provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list. This patch
set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it.

Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture
native format. The assumption being that userspace could and would
handle any architecture conversions. With the ability of carrying the
measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a
different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it
the ability of recalculating the template digest hash. To resolve this
problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces
the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily
defined as little endian.

The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the
existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements.
Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg. TPM 2.0
support for larger digests).

This patch set pre-req's Thiago Bauermann's "kexec_file: Add buffer
hand-over for the next kernel" patch set.

These patches can also be found in the next-kexec-restore branch of:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity.git

Changelog v3:
- Cleaned up the code for calculating the requested kexec segment size
needed for the IMA measurement list, limiting the segment size to half
of the totalram_pages.
- Fixed kernel test robot reports as enumerated in the respective
patch changelog.

Changelog v2:
- Canonical measurement list support added
- Redefined the ima_kexec_hdr struct to use well defined sizes
