This example uses "data_sources" without first defining it in the
"option:" section.  Defining two new options is an indication that this
patch should be split up.  One which defines the "CRITICAL_DATA" and
another one which defines the new key value pair.  The term
"data_sources" is pretty generic.  Perhaps constrain it a bit by re-
naming it "critical_data=".  Or was such using a generic name
intentional?

Normally "CRITICAL_DATA" would be defined with the critical data hook,
but that seems to be defined in patch 3/3 "IMA: define IMA hook to
measure critical data from kernel components".

Requiring IMA_FUNC and IMA_DATA_SOURCES makes sense, but why are
IMA_UID and IMA_PCR required?

"keyrings=" isn't bounded because keyrings can be created by userspace.
Perhaps keyring names has a minimum/maximum length.  IMA isn't
measuring userspace construsts.  Shouldn't the list of critical data
being measured be bounded and verified?
