[PATCH 3/4] ima: add support for KEXEC_ORIG_KERNEL_CHECK

[Eric Richter]

IMA can verify the signature of kernel images loaded with kexec_file_load,
but can not verify images loaded with the regular kexec_load syscall.
Therefore, the appraisal will automatically fail during kexec_load when an
appraise policy rule is set for func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK. This can be used
to effectively disable the kexec_load syscall, while still allowing the
kexec_file_load to operate so long as the target kernel image is signed.

However, this conflicts with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. If that option is
enabled and there is an appraise rule set, then the target kernel would
have to be verifiable by both IMA and the architecture specific kernel
verification procedure.

This patch adds a new func= for IMA appraisal specifically for the original
kexec_load syscall. Therefore, the kexec_load syscall can be effectively
disabled via IMA policy, leaving the kexec_file_load syscall able to do its
own signature verification, and not require it to be signed via IMA. To
retain compatibility, the existing func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK flag is
unchanged, and thus enables appraisal for both kexec syscalls.
