mainlining shenanigans
5d1ef2ce13
Buffer measurements, unlike file measurements, are not accessible after the measurement is done, as buffers are not suitable for use with the integrity_iint_cache structure (there is no index, for files it is the inode number). In the subsequent patches, the measurement (digest) will be returned directly by the functions that perform the buffer measurement, ima_measure_critical_data() and process_buffer_measurement(). A caller of those functions also needs to know the algorithm used to calculate the digest. Instead of adding the algorithm as a new parameter to the functions, this patch provides it separately with the new function ima_get_current_hash_algo(). Since the hash algorithm does not change after the IMA setup phase, there is no risk of races (obtaining a digest calculated with a different algorithm than the one returned).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
