   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.
  14
  15                 IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
  16                 for local measurement appraisal.

  58                 The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,

  60                 open for read by root in do_filp_open.  The default appraisal
  61                 policy appraises all files owned by root.
