ima: limit the builtin 'tcb' dont_measure tmpfs policy rule
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With a custom policy similar to the builtin IMA 'tcb' policy [1], arch
specific policy, and a kexec boot command line measurement policy rule,
the kexec boot command line is not measured due to the dont_measure
tmpfs rule.

Limit the builtin 'tcb' dont_measure tmpfs policy rule to just the
"func=FILE_CHECK" hook.  Depending on the end users security threat
model, a custom policy might not even include this dont_measure tmpfs
rule.

Note: as a result of this policy rule change, other measurements might
also be included in the IMA-measurement list that previously weren't
included.
