Has anyone from the integrity development team been watching
the stack patch effort? There are changes that could be of
concern.

Thanks for the heads up!  Sorry for the delay in reviewing the
patches.

FYI, the IMA changes for Linux 5.5 are being upstreamed via the
PowerPC subsystem.  With these changes, patches 9/25 and 12/25 do not
apply cleanly.  Michael has an IMA topic branch which can be "merged",
until -rc1 is released.[1]

I'll have a look to see how tough the merge might be.
Thanks!
