The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec kernel image), but changing it would break the existing userspace/kernel ABI. This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot". The new appraisal rules requiring file signatures will be added prior to the "ima_appraise_tcb" rules. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Changelog: - Reference secure boot in the new builtin policy name. (Thiago Bauermann)
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
