From: Deven Bowers <deven.desai at linux.microsoft.com>

Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) is an LSM that provides an
complimentary approach to Mandatory Access Control than existing LSMs
today.

Existing LSMs have centered around the concept of access to a resource
should be controlled by the current user's credentials. IPE's approach,
is that access to a resource should be controlled by the system's trust
of a current resource.

The basis of this approach is defining a global policy to specify which
resource can be trusted.

v2:
  + Split evaluation loop, access control hooks,
    and evaluation loop from policy parser and userspace
    interface to pass mailing list character limit

v3:
  + Move ipe_load_properties to patch 04.
  + Remove useless 0-initializations
  + Prefix extern variables with ipe_
  + Remove kernel module parameters, as these are
    exposed through sysctls.
  + Add more prose to the IPE base config option
    help text.
  + Use GFP_KERNEL for audit_log_start.
  + Remove unnecessary caching system.
  + Remove comments from headers
  + Use rcu_access_pointer for rcu-pointer null check
  + Remove usage of reqprot; use prot only.
  + Move policy load and activation audit event to 03/12

v4:
  + Remove sysctls in favor of securityfs nodes
  + Re-add kernel module parameters, as these are now
    exposed through securityfs.
  + Refactor property audit loop to a separate function.

v5:
  + fix minor grammatical errors
  + do not group rule by curly-brace in audit record,
    reconstruct the exact rule.

v6:
  + No changes

v7:
  + Further split lsm creation into a separate commit from the
    evaluation loop and audit system, for easier review.

  + Introduce the concept of an ipe_context, a scoped way to
    introduce execution policies, used initially for allowing for
    kunit tests in isolation.

v8:
  + Follow lsmname_hook_name convention for lsm hooks.
  + Move LSM blob accessors to ipe.c and mark LSM blobs as static.

v9:
  + Remove ipe_context for simplification

v10:
  + Add github url

v11:
  + Correct github url
  + Move ipe before bpf

v12:
  + Switch to use lsm_id instead of string for lsm name

v13:
  + No changes
