process_measurement() measures, verifies a file signature -  both
signatures stored as an xattr and as an appended buffer signature -
and augments audit records with the file hash. (Support for measuring,
augmenting audit records, and/or verifying fs-verity signatures has
yet to be added.)

As explained in my response to 11/19, the file descriptor provides the
file pathname associated with the buffer data.  In addition, IMA
policy rules may be defined in terms of other file descriptor info -
uid, euid, uuid, etc.

Recently support was added for measuring the kexec boot command line,
certificates being loaded onto a keyring, and blacklisted file hashes
(limited to appended signatures).  None of these buffers are signed.
 process_buffer_measurement() was added for this reason and as a
result is limited to just measuring the buffer data.

Whether process_measurement() or process_buffer_measurement() should
be modified, needs to be determined.  In either case to support the
init_module syscall, would at minimum require the associated file
pathname.
