Mimi brought up that we need a MAINTAINERS update for this and also
.platform.

We have these:

- KEYS/KEYRINGS
- CERTIFICATE HANDLING

I would put them under KEYRINGS for now and would not consider further
subdivision for the moment.
IMA has dependencies on the platform_certs/ and now on the new .machine
keyring.  Just adding "F: security/integrity/platform_certs/" to the
KEYS/KEYRINGS record, ignores that dependency.  The discussion wouldn't
even be on the linux-integrity mailing list.

Existing requirement:
- The keys on the .platform keyring are limited to verifying the kexec
image.

New requirements based on Eric Snowbergs' patch set:
- When IMA_KEYRINGS_PERMIT_SIGNED_BY_BUILTIN_OR_SECONDARY is enabled,
the MOK keys will not be loaded directly onto the .machine keyring or
indirectly onto the .secondary_trusted_keys keyring.

- Only when a new IMA Kconfig explicitly allows the keys on the
.machine keyrings, will the CA keys stored in MOK be loaded onto the
.machine keyring.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any choice, but to define a new
MAINTAINERS entry.  Perhaps something along the lines of:

KEYS/KEYRINGS_INTEGRITY
M:     Jarkko Sakkinen [off-list ref]
M:     Mimi Zohar [off-list ref]
L:      keyrings@vger.kernel.org
L:      linux-integrity@vger.kernel.org
F:      security/integrity/platform_certs
WFM. BTW, the patches are now in my tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git

I can add any tags requested. I'll mirror this at some point to linux-next.
Thanks,  Jarkko.
