This patch set provides more information about buffer measurement.

First, it introduces the new function ima_get_current_hash_algo(), to
obtain the algorithm used to calculate the buffer digest (patch 1).

Second, it changes the type of return value of ima_measure_critical_data()
and process_buffer_measurement() from void to int, to signal to the callers
whether or not the buffer has been measured, or just the digest has been
calculated and written to the supplied location (patch 2).

Lastly, it adds two new parameters to the functions above ('digest' and
'digest_len'), so that those functions can write the buffer digest to the
location supplied by the callers (patch 3).

This patch set replaces the patch 'ima: Add digest, algo, measured
parameters to ima_measure_critical_data()' in:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20210625165614.2284243-1-roberto.sassu@huawei.com/

Changelog

v2:
- remove assignments of ima_measure_critical_data() and
  process_buffer_measurement() return values (suggested by Lakshmi)

v1:
- add digest_len parameter to ima_measure_critical_data() and
  process_buffer_measurement() (suggested by Lakshmi)
- fix doc formatting issues

Huawei Digest Lists patch set:
- introduce ima_get_current_hash_algo() (suggested by Mimi)
- remove algo and measured parameters from ima_measure_critical_data() and
  process_buffer_measurement() (suggested by Mimi)
- return an integer from ima_measure_critical_data() and
  process_buffer_measurement() (suggested by Mimi)
- correctly check when process_buffer_measurement() should return earlier

Roberto Sassu (3):
  ima: Introduce ima_get_current_hash_algo()
  ima: Return int in the functions to measure a buffer
  ima: Add digest and digest_len params to the functions to measure a
    buffer

This patch introduces the new function ima_get_current_hash_algo(), that
callers in the other kernel subsystems might use to obtain the hash
algorithm selected by IMA.

Its primary use will be to determine which algorithm has been used to
calculate the digest written by ima_measure_critical_data() to the location
passed as a new parameter (in a subsequent patch).

Since the hash algorithm does not change after the IMA setup phase, there
is no risk of races (obtaining a digest calculated with a different
algorithm than the one returned).

ima_measure_critical_data() and process_buffer_measurement() currently
don't return a result. A caller wouldn't be able to know whether those
functions were executed successfully.

This patch modifies the return type from void to int, and returns 0 if the
buffer has been successfully measured, a negative value otherwise.

Also, this patch does not modify the behavior of existing callers by
processing the returned value. For those, the return value is ignored.

This patch adds the 'digest' and 'digest_len' parameters to
ima_measure_critical_data() and process_buffer_measurement(), so that
callers can get the digest of the passed buffer.

These functions calculate the digest even if there is no suitable rule in
the IMA policy and, in this case, they simply return 1 before generating a
new measurement entry.

The SELinux changes are trivial and fall into that
cross-subsystem-ACK-not-really-necessary category, but why not :)

Hi Roberto,

Missing is an explanation as to why these functions aren't currently
returning a result.   The LSM/IMA hooks only return a negative result
for failure to appraise a file's integrity, not measure a file.  Only
failure to appraise a file's integrity results in preventing the file
from being read/executed/mmaped.  Other failures are only audited.

Needed here is an explanation as to why ima_measure_critical_data() is
special.

I agree that the existing behavior shouldn't change, but will this
result in the bots complaining?

thanks,

Mimi

I agree ima_measure_critical_data() is special.  Both this patch
description and 1/3 describe "what", not "why".  Please provide the
motivation for these changes at least in the cover letter, if not in
the patch description.

thanks,

Mimi

Hi Mimi

ok, will add it.

We don't want to unnecessarily calculate the digest twice.

If I remember correctly, I didn't get any error even with W=1.

That's what the "iint" cache is for.  .  This needs more a of an
explaintion as to why  ima_measure_critical_data() is special.

thanks,

Mimi
