[PATCH 0/3] IMA: Fine-tuning for three function implementations

[PATCH 0/3] IMA: Fine-tuning for three function implementations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 7 May 2017 15:35:15 +0200

A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Use seq_putc() in ima_ascii_measurements_show()
  Combine two function calls into one in ima_policy_show()
  Replace nine seq_puts() calls by seq_putc()

[PATCH 1/3] ima: Use seq_putc() in ima_ascii_measurements_show()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 7 May 2017 14:45:01 +0200

Two single characters should be put into a sequence.
Thus use the corresponding function "seq_putc".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

A bit of data was put into a sequence by two separate function calls.
Print the same data by a single function call instead.
