Assuming that you require file signatures on anything that is
executed, then only signed binaries, with the public key loaded on to
the IMA keyring, would be executed.

kern_path() is calling "getname_kernel(name)", but that is later
freed.  I'm not seeing it.  What are you referring to?

The patch description just mentions replacing the list of pathnames
with a set of inodes, but doesn't go into the implications of this
change.  When the interpreter package is updated, the list of inodes
would need to be updated as well.

Some method for updating the list of inodes would be needed.  Probably
the security_inode_unlink and security_inode_rename hooks would be a
good place to trigger the inode list update.

Good catch.  Thank you.
