From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>
Similarly to measurement, enable the new appraisal style too using digest
caches.
Instead of verifying individual file signatures, verify the signature of
lists of digests and search calculated file digests in those lists.
The benefits are that signed lists of digests already exist (e.g. RPM
package headers), although their format needs to be supported by the
digest_cache LSM, and appraisal with digest lists is computationally much
less expensive than with individual file signatures (see the performance
evaluation of the digest_cache LSM).
As for measurement, pass the AND of the policy mask and the digest list
verification mask to ima_appraise_measurement().
If EVM is disabled or the file does not have any protected xattr
(evm_verifyxattr() returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN or INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS), the
other appraisal methods (xattr and modsig) are not available, and the AND
of the masks has the IMA_DIGEST_CACHE_APPRAISE_CONTENT flag set, mark the
file as successfully appraised (i.e. set the integrity status to
INTEGRITY_PASS and return zero).
