[RFC][PATCH v4 6/9] ima: Store verified usage in digest cache based on integrity metadata flags

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

The Integrity Digest Cache allows integrity providers to record how the
digest list being used to populate the digest cache was verified.

Integrity providers can register a kernel_post_read_file LSM hook
implementation, and call digest_cache_verif_set() providing the result of
the digest list verification, together with the digest list file
descriptor.

IMA implements ima_digest_cache_store_verified_usage(), storing the
verified usage of the digest cache based on whether or not the digest list
the digest cache is being populated from was measured/appraised.

If the digest list was measured (IMA_MEASURED set in iint->flags),
ima_digest_cache_store_verified_usage() sets the
IMA_DIGEST_CACHE_MEASURE_DATA in the verified usage. If the digest list was
appraised (IMA_APPRAISED_SUBMASK), ima_digest_cache_store_verified_usage()
sets the IMA_DIGEST_CACHE_APPRAISE_DATA in the verified usage.

Verified usage based on integrity metadata will be ANDed with the policy
usage from the IMA policy. Then, the final decision will ultimately depend
on whether or not the calculated digest of the accessed file was found in
the digest cache.

ANDing the verified usage with the policy usage prevents remote verifiers
from receiving an incomplete IMA measurement list, where measurements of
files are skipped, but there isn't the measurement of the digest lists the
calculated file digests were searched into. It also prevents successful
appraisal without appraising the digest list itself.
