[PATCH v4 6/7] ima: Store measurement after appraisal

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann <hidden>
Date: 2017-08-04 22:06:00
Also in: keyrings, linux-crypto, linuxppc-dev, lkml
Subsystem: extended verification module (evm), integrity measurement architecture (ima), security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Mimi Zohar, Roberto Sassu, Dmitry Kasatkin, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

When module-style signatures appended at the end of files are supported for
IMA appraisal, the code will fallback to the xattr signature if the
appended one fails to verify.

The problem is that we don't know whether we need to fallback to the xattr
signature until the appraise step, and by then the measure step was already
completed and would need to be done again in case the template includes the
signature.

To avoid this problem, do the appraisal first so that the correct signature
is stored by the template in the measure step.
