[PATCH 07/11] evm: Set IMA_CHANGE_XATTR/ATTR bit if EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is set

[Roberto Sassu]

When EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is set, EVM allows any operation on
metadata. Its main purpose is to allow users to freely set metadata when
they are protected by a portable signature, until the HMAC key is loaded.

However, IMA is not notified about metadata changes and, after the first
appraisal, always allows access to the files without checking metadata
again.

This patch checks in evm_reset_status() if EVM_ALLOW_METADATA WRITES is
enabled and if it is, sets the IMA_CHANGE_XATTR/ATTR bits depending on the
operation performed. At the next appraisal, metadata are revalidated.

This patch also adds a call to evm_reset_status() in
evm_inode_post_setattr() so that EVM won't return the cached status the
next time appraisal is performed.

Fixes: ae1ba1676b88e ("EVM: Allow userland to permit modification of EVM-protected metadata")
