4 Description:
5                 The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
6                 Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
7                 values of executables and other sensitive system files
8                 loaded into the run-time of this system.  At runtime,
9                 the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
10                 Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
11                 by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
12                 then closing the file.  The new policy takes effect after
13                 the file ima/policy is closed.
15                 IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
16                 for local measurement appraisal.

83                 The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
84                 all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
85                 open for read by root in do_filp_open.  The default appraisal
86                 policy appraises all files owned by root.
88                 Examples of LSM specific definitions:

92                         dont_appraise obj_type=var_log_t
93                         dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t

96                         measure subj_role=system_r func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
98                 Smack:
99                         measure subj_user=_ func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
