[PATCH v3 03/10] evm: Implement per signature type decision in security_inode_copy_up_xattr

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Fri Feb 23 2024 - 12:29:09 EST


To support "portable and immutable signatures" on otherwise unsupported
filesystems, determine the EVM signature type by the content of a file's
xattr. If the file has the appropriate signature type then allow it to be
copied up. All other signature types are discarded as before.

"Portable and immutable" EVM signatures can be copied up by stacked file-
system since the metadata their signature covers does not include file-
system-specific data such as a file's inode number, generation, and UUID.
