This patch forces files to be re-measured, re-appraised and re-audited
on file systems with the feature flag FS_IMA_NO_CACHE. In that way,
cached integrity results won't be used.

How to test this:

The test I did was using a patched version of the memfs FUSE driver
[1][2] and two very simple "hello-world" programs [4] (prog1 prints
"hello world: 1" and prog2 prints "hello world: 2").

I copy prog1 and prog2 in the fuse-memfs mount point, execute them and
check the sha1 hash in
"/sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements".

My patch on the memfs FUSE driver added a backdoor command to serve
prog1 when the kernel asks for prog2 or vice-versa. In this way, I can
exec prog1 and get it to print "hello world: 2" without ever replacing
the file via the VFS, so the kernel is not aware of the change.

The test was done using the branch "alban/fuse-flag-ima-nocache-v3" [3].

Step by step test procedure:

1. Mount the memfs FUSE using [2]:
rm -f  /tmp/memfs-switch* ; memfs -L DEBUG  /mnt/memfs

2. Copy prog1 and prog2 using [4]
cp prog1 /mnt/memfs/prog1
cp prog2 /mnt/memfs/prog2

3. Lookup the files and let the FUSE driver to keep the handles open:
dd if=/mnt/memfs/prog1 bs=1 | (read -n 1 x ; sleep 3600 ) &
dd if=/mnt/memfs/prog2 bs=1 | (read -n 1 x ; sleep 3600 ) &

4. Check the 2 programs work correctly:
$ /mnt/memfs/prog1
hello world: 1
$ /mnt/memfs/prog2
hello world: 2

5. Check the measurements for prog1 and prog2:
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements \
                | grep /mnt/memfs/prog
10 [...] ima-ng sha1:ac14c9268cd2[...] /mnt/memfs/prog1
10 [...] ima-ng sha1:799cb5d1e06d[...] /mnt/memfs/prog2

6. Use the backdoor command in my patched memfs to redirect file
operations on file handle 3 to file handle 2:
rm -f  /tmp/memfs-switch* ; touch /tmp/memfs-switch-3-2

7. Check how the FUSE driver serves different content for the files:
$ /mnt/memfs/prog1
hello world: 2
$ /mnt/memfs/prog2
hello world: 2

8. Check the measurements:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements \
                | grep /mnt/memfs/prog

Without the patch, there are no new measurements, despite the FUSE
driver having served different executables.

With the patch, I can see additional measurements for prog1 and prog2
with the hashes reversed when the FUSE driver served the alternative
content.

I like this approach as it doesn't require any IMA policy changes to be
effective. I'm not sure about the flag name (in my mind it would
describe the fs property and not be specifically giving instructions to
IMA), but if others are happy with it I won't complain.
