[PATCH v18 03/21] ipe: add evaluation loop

[Fan Wu <wufan@linux.microsoft.com>]

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

Introduce a core evaluation function in IPE that will be triggered by
various security hooks (e.g., mmap, bprm_check, kexec). This function
systematically assesses actions against the defined IPE policy, by
iterating over rules specific to the action being taken. This critical
addition enables IPE to enforce its security policies effectively,
ensuring that actions intercepted by these hooks are scrutinized for policy
compliance before they are allowed to proceed.

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.
+ Propagating changes to support the new ipe_context structure in the evaluation loop.

v8:
+ Remove ipe_hook enumeration; hooks can be correlated via syscall record.

v9:
+ Remove ipe_context related code and simplify the evaluation loop.

v10:
+ Split eval part and boot_verified part

v11:
+ Fix code style issues

v12:
+ Correct an rcu_read_unlock usage
+ Add a WARN to unknown op during evaluation

v13:
+ No changes

v14:
+ No changes

v15:
+ No changes

v16:
+ No changes

v17:
+ Add years to license header
+ Fix code and documentation style issues

v18:
+ No changes
