[RFC PATCH 0/2] ima: uncompressed module appraisal support

[Eric Snowberg]

When booting with either "ima_policy=secure_boot module.sig_enforce=1"
or building a kernel with CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY and booting with
"ima_policy=secure_boot", module loading behaves differently based on if
the module is compressed or not.  Originally when appraising a module
with ima it had to be uncompressed and ima signed.  Recent changes in 5.4 
have allowed internally signed modules to load [1].  But this only works 
if the internally signed module is compressed.  The uncompressed module
that is internally signed must still be ima signed. This patch series
tries to bring the two in line.

I'm sending this as an RFC in case this was done intentionally.  Or
maybe there is another way around this problem?  I also realize the 
uncompressed module will be verified again with module_sig_check.  I'm 
open to suggestions on improvement if this is seen as a problem.
