Subject: [PATCH v3] IMA: support for duplicate measurement records
Date:   Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:00:45 -0800
Message-Id: <20210219010045.5509-1-tusharsu@linux.microsoft.com>
Precedence: bulk

IMA does not include duplicate file, buffer, or critical data
measurement records since TPM extend is a very expensive
operation.  However, in some cases, the measurement of duplicate
records is necessary to accurately determine the current state of the
system.  For instance - the file, buffer, or critical data measurement
record may change from some value 'val#1', to 'val#2', and then back
to 'val#1'.  Currently, IMA will not measure the last change to 'val#1',
since the hash of 'val#1' for the given record is already present in the
measurement log.  This limits the ability of the attestation service to
accurately determine the current state of the system, because it would
be interpreted as the system having 'val#2' for the given record.

Update ima_add_template_entry() to support measurement of duplicate
records, driven by a Kconfig option - IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE.

Change Log v3:
 - Incorporated feedback from Mimi on v2.
 - Updated patch title and description to make it generic.
 - Changed config description word 'data' to 'records'.
 - Tested use cases for boot param "ima_policy=tcb".

Change Log v2:
 - Incorporated feedback from Mimi on v1.
 - The fix is not just applicable to measurement of critical data,
   it now applies to other buffers and file data as well.
 - the fix is driven by a Kconfig option IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE, rather
   than a IMA policy condition - allow_dup.
