Take the properties of the kexec kernel's inode and the current task ownership into consideration when matching a KEXEC_CMDLINE operation to the rules in the IMA policy. This allows for some uniformity when writing IMA policy rules for KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK, KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK, and KEXEC_CMDLINE operations. Prior to this patch, it was not possible to write a set of rules like this: dont_measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK obj_type=foo_t dont_measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK obj_type=foo_t dont_measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE obj_type=foo_t measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE The inode information associated with the kernel being loaded by a kexec_kernel_load(2) syscall can now be included in the decision to measure or not Additonally, the uid, euid, and subj_* conditionals can also now be used in KEXEC_CMDLINE rules. There was no technical reason as to why those conditionals weren't being considered previously other than ima_match_rules() didn't have a valid inode to use so it immediately bailed out for KEXEC_CMDLINE operations rather than going through the full list of conditional comparisons.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
