Description:
		The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
		Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
		values of executables and other sensitive system files
		loaded into the run-time of this system.  At runtime,
		the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
		Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
		by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
		then closing the file.  The new policy takes effect after
		the file ima/policy is closed.

		IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
		for local measurement appraisal.

			keyrings:= list of keyrings

			label:= [selinux]|[kernel_info]|[data_label]
			data_label:= a unique string used for grouping and limiting critical data.
			For example, "selinux" to measure critical data for SELinux.
			appraise_algos:= comma-separated list of hash algorithms
			For example, "sha256,sha512" to only accept to appraise
			files where the security.ima xattr was hashed with one
			of these two algorithms.

			measure func=BPRM_CHECK

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

		Examples of LSM specific definitions:

		SELinux::

			dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
			dont_appraise obj_type=var_log_t
			dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
			dont_appraise obj_type=auditd_log_t
			measure subj_user=system_u func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
			measure subj_role=system_r func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ

		Smack::

			measure subj_user=_ func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ

		Example of measure rules using alternate PCRs::

			measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK pcr=4
			measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK pcr=5

		Example of appraise rule allowing modsig appended signatures:

			appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig|modsig

		Example of measure rule using KEY_CHECK to measure all keys:

			measure func=KEY_CHECK

		Example of measure rule using KEY_CHECK to only measure
		keys added to .builtin_trusted_keys or .ima keyring:

			measure func=KEY_CHECK keyrings=.builtin_trusted_keys|.ima

		Example of the special SETXATTR_CHECK appraise rule, that
		restricts the hash algorithms allowed when writing to the
		security.ima xattr of a file:

			appraise func=SETXATTR_CHECK appraise_algos=sha256,sha384,sha512
