DM configures a block device with various target specific attributes passed to it as a table. DM loads the table, and calls each target’s respective constructors with the attributes as input parameters. Some of these attributes are critical to ensure the device meets certain security bar. Thus, IMA should measure these attributes, to ensure they are not tampered with, during the lifetime of the device. So that the external services can have high confidence in the configuration of the block-devices on a given system. Some devices may have large tables. And a given device may change its state (table-load, suspend, resume, rename, remove, table-clear etc.) many times. Measuring these attributes each time when the device changes its state will significantly increase the size of the IMA logs. Further, once configured, these attributes are not expected to change unless a new table is loaded, or a device is removed and recreated. Therefore the clear-text of the attributes should only be measured during table load, and the hash of the active/inactive table should be measured for the remaining device state changes. Export IMA function ima_measure_critical_data() to allow measurement of DM device parameters, as well as target specific attributes, during table load. Compute the hash of the inactive table and store it for measurements during future state change. If a load is called multiple times, update the inactive table hash with the hash of the latest populated table. So that the correct inactive table hash is measured when the device transitions to different states like resume, remove, rename, etc. Signed-off-by: Tushar Sugandhi <tusharsu@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> # leak fix Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> |

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.
