[RFC][PATCH 09/12] ima: Use digest cache for appraisal
Roberto Sassu

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>
If the digest of the accessed file is found in the digest cache, pass the
ANDed masks from the IMA policy and from the digest cache to
ima_appraise_measurement().
If the DIGEST_CACHE_APPRAISE_CONTENT flag is set in the mask, security.ima
is not available, and the modsig method is disabled, grant access in
read-only mode (except for new files).
Since xattrs were not verified with EVM, writes need to be prevented to
avoid the HMAC to be updated from an unverified one.
