Anyone building their own kernel can build their own key into the
kernel image. Another option is to build the kernel with
CONFIG_SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE enabled, allowing an additional
certificate to be inserted into the kernel image post build. The
additional certificate will be loaded onto the builtin kernel keyring.
Certificates signed with the private key can then be added to the IMA
keyring. By modifying the kernel image, the kernel image obviously
needs to be resigned. Additional patches "Certificate insertion
support for x86 bzImages" were posted, but have not been upstreamed.
This patch set adds the security xattrs needed by IMA.
