[PATCH v2 0/6] bpf-lsm: Extend interoperability with IMA

Extend the interoperability with IMA, to give wider flexibility for the
implementation of integrity-focused LSMs based on eBPF.

Patch 1 fixes some style issues.

Patches 2-4 gives the ability to eBPF-based LSMs to take advantage of the
measurement capability of IMA without needing to setup a policy in IMA
(those LSMs might implement the policy capability themselves).

Patches 5-6 allows eBPF-based LSMs to evaluate files read by the kernel.

Changelog

v1:
- Modify ima_file_hash() only and allow the usage of the function with the
  modified behavior by eBPF-based LSMs through the new function
  bpf_ima_file_hash() (suggested by Mimi)
- Make bpf_lsm_kernel_read_file() sleepable so that bpf_ima_inode_hash()
  and bpf_ima_file_hash() can be called inside the implementation of
  eBPF-based LSMs for this hook

Roberto Sassu (6):
  ima: Fix documentation-related warnings in ima_main.c
  ima: Always return a file measurement in ima_file_hash()
  bpf-lsm: Introduce new helper bpf_ima_file_hash()
  selftests/bpf: Add test for bpf_ima_file_hash()
  bpf-lsm: Make bpf_lsm_kernel_read_file() as sleepable
  selftests/bpf: Add test for bpf_lsm_kernel_read_file()
