[PATCH v3] selinux: measure state and policy capabilities

SELinux stores the configuration state and the policy capabilities
in kernel memory.  Changes to this data at runtime would have an impact
on the security guarantees provided by SELinux.  Measuring this data
through IMA subsystem provides a tamper-resistant way for
an attestation service to remotely validate it at runtime.

Measure the configuration state and policy capabilities by calling
the IMA hook ima_measure_critical_data().

To enable SELinux data measurement, the following steps are required:

 1, Add "ima_policy=critical_data" to the kernel command line arguments
    to enable measuring SELinux data at boot time.
    For example,
      BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-rc3+ root=UUID=fd643309-a5d2-4ed3-b10d-3c579a5fab2f ro nomodeset security=selinux ima_policy=critical_data

 2, Add the following rule to /etc/ima/ima-policy
       measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=selinux

Sample measurement of SELinux state and policy capabilities:

10 2122...65d8 ima-buf sha256:13c2...1292 selinux-state 696e...303b

Execute the following command to extract the measured data
from the IMA's runtime measurements list:

  grep "selinux-state" /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p

The output should be a list of key-value pairs. For example,
 initialized=1;enforcing=0;checkreqprot=1;network_peer_controls=1;open_perms=1;extended_socket_class=1;always_check_network=0;cgroup_seclabel=1;nnp_nosuid_transition=1;genfs_seclabel_symlinks=0;

To verify the measurement is consistent with the current SELinux state
reported on the system, compare the integer values in the following
files with those set in the IMA measurement (using the following commands):

 - cat /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
 - cat /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot
 - cat /sys/fs/selinux/policy_capabilities/[capability_file]

Note that the actual verification would be against an expected state
and done on a separate system (likely an attestation server) requiring
"initialized=1;enforcing=1;checkreqprot=0;"
for a secure state and then whatever policy capabilities are actually
set in the expected policy (which can be extracted from the policy
itself via seinfo, for example).
