[RFC][PATCH 2/3] evm: Extend API of post hooks to pass the result of pre hooks

Roberto Sassu roberto.sassu at huawei.com
Wed Apr 29 07:39:34 UTC 2020


This patch extends the API of post hooks to pass the result returned by the
pre hooks. Given that now this information is available, post hooks can
stop before updating the HMAC if the result of the pre hook is not zero.

They still reset the result of the last verification, stored in the
integrity_iint_cache, to ensure that file metadata are re-evaluated after
update.
