[PATCH 0/4] ima: builtin policy requiring file signatures

The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures
for at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, kexec
kernel image, and the IMA policy), but changing it would break the
existing userspace/kernel ABI.

This patch set extends the "ima_policy=" boot command line option to
support specifying multiple builtin policies, introduces a new builtin
policy named "secure_boot" to require file signatures, defines a new
Kconfig option to permit specifying "log" and "fix" modes as options on
the "ima_appraise=" boot command line, and defines is_ima_appraise_enabled().

These changes provide some of the missing functionality needed for the
"locked-down" patch set to detect whether file signatures are being
validated.
