Users of IPE require a way to identify when and why an operation fails,
allowing them to both respond to violations of policy and be notified
of potentially malicious actions on their systems with respect to IPE
itself.

This patch introduces 3 new audit events.

AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420) indicates the result of an IPE policy evaluation
of a resource.
AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421) indicates the current active IPE policy
has been changed to another loaded policy.
AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422) indicates a new IPE policy has been loaded
into the kernel.

This patch also adds support for success auditing, allowing users to
identify why an allow decision was made for a resource. However, it is
recommended to use this option with caution, as it is quite noisy.

Here are some examples of the new audit record types:

AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420):

audit: AUDIT1420 path="/root/vol/bin/hello" dev="sda"
ino=3897 rule="op=EXECUTE boot_verified=TRUE action=ALLOW"

audit: AUDIT1420 path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"

audit: AUDIT1420 path="/tmp/tmpdp2h1lub/deny/bin/hello" dev="tmpfs"
ino=131 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"

The above three records were generated when the active IPE policy only
allows binaries from the initial booted drive(sda) to run. The three
identical `hello` binary were placed at different locations, only the
first hello from sda was allowed.

Field path followed by the file's path name.

Field dev followed by the device name as found in /dev where the file is
from.
Note that for device mappers it will use the name `dm-X` instead of
the name in /dev/mapper.
For a file in a temp file system, which is not from a device, it will use
`tmpfs` for the field.
The implementation of this part is following another existing use case
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE in security/lsm_audit.c

Field ino followed by the file's inode number.

Field rule followed by the IPE rule made the access decision. The whole
rule must be audited because the decision is based on the combination of
all property conditions in the rule.

Along with the syscall audit event, user can know why a blocked
happened. For example:

audit: AUDIT1420 path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"
audit[1956]: SYSCALL arch=c000003e syscall=59
success=no exit=-13 a0=556790138df0 a1=556790135390 a2=5567901338b0
a3=ab2a41a67f4f1f4e items=1 ppid=147 pid=1956 auid=4294967295 uid=0
gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0
ses=4294967295 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" key=(null)

The above two records showed bash used execve to run "hello" and got
blocked by IPE. Note that the IPE records are always prior to a SYSCALL
record.

AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421):

audit: AUDIT1421
old_active_pol_name="Allow_All" old_active_pol_version=0.0.0
old_policy_digest=sha256:E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649
new_active_pol_name="boot_verified" new_active_pol_version=0.0.0
new_policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F
auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1

The above record showed the current IPE active policy switch from
`Allow_All` to `boot_verified` along with the version and the hash
digest of the two policies. Note IPE can only have one policy active
at a time, all access decision evaluation is based on the current active
policy.
The normal procedure to deploy a policy is loading the policy to deploy
into the kernel first, then switch the active policy to it.

AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422):

audit: AUDIT1422 policy_name="boot_verified" policy_version=0.0.0
policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F26765076DD
auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1

The above record showed a new policy has been loaded into the kernel
with the policy name, policy version and policy hash.

I would suggest taking the same approach for both @audit_op_names and
@audit_prop_names; either include the field name in the string array
for both or leave it out of both.

Yes sure, I will move the "op=" into audit_op_names.

Does it make sense to move @match_type into the ipe_eval_ctx struct?

I feel the @match_type is part of the evaluation result information, which is the result of the context against the active policy. So I prefer keeping it as a local variable in the evaluation loop.
