ima: added ima_policy_flag variable
This patch introduces the new variable 'ima_policy_flag', whose bits are set depending on the action of the current policy rules. Only the flags IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE and IMA_AUDIT are set. The new variable will be used to improve performance by skipping the unnecessary execution of IMA code if the policy does not contain rules with the above actions. Changes in v6 (Roberto Sassu) * do not check 'ima_initialized' before calling ima_update_policy_flag() in ima_update_policy() (suggested by Dmitry) * calling ima_update_policy_flag() moved to init_ima to co-locate with ima_initialized (Dmitry) * add/revise comments (Mimi) Changes in v5 (Roberto Sassu) * reset IMA_APPRAISE flag in 'ima_policy_flag' if 'ima_appraise' is set to zero (reported by Dmitry) * update 'ima_policy_flag' only if IMA initialization is successful (suggested by Mimi and Dmitry) * check 'ima_policy_flag' instead of 'ima_initialized' (suggested by Mimi and Dmitry) Signed-off-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@polito.it> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <d.kasatkin@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
