Subject: [PATCH 0/2] evm: disable EVM on overlayfs

EVM verifies the existing 'security.evm' value, before allowing it
to be updated. The EVM HMAC and the original file signatures contain
filesystem specific metadata (e.g. i_ino, i_generation and s_uuid).

This poses a challenge when transitioning from the lower backing file
to the upper backing file.

Until a complete solution is developed, disable EVM on overlayfs.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] evm: don't copy up 'security.evm' xattr

The security.evm HMAC and the original file signatures contain
filesystem specific data. As a result, the HMAC and signature
are not the same on the stacked and backing filesystems.

Don't copy up 'security.evm'.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] evm: add support to disable EVM on unsupported filesystems

Don't verify, write, remove or update 'security.evm' on unsupported
filesystems.

Temporarily define overlayfs as an unsupported filesystem until
a complete solution is developed.

The rest of the hooks call evm last, e.g.:
return evm_inode_setattr(idmap, dentry, attr);
return evm_inode_remove_acl(idmap, dentry, acl_name);
evm_inode_post_setxattr(dentry, name, value, size);
return evm_inode_removexattr(idmap, dentry, name);

best keep a consistent LSM order.

Other than that, feel free to add:

Please do not special case overlayfs in and please do not use the
fs name to detect support.

Please define an sb flag like SB_I_IMA_UNVERIFIABLE_SIGNATURE
to disable EVM and set this flag in ovl_fill_super().

Thanks,
Amir.
