v2:
 - Always return an ERR_PTR from ima_alloc_rule_opt_list() (Nayna)
 - Add Lakshmi's Reviewed-by to both patches
 - Rebased on commit 3db0d0c276a7 ("integrity: remove redundant
   initialization of variable ret") of next-integrity
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200727140831.64251-1-tyhicks@linux.microsoft.com/

Nayna pointed out that the "keyrings=" option in an IMA policy rule
should only be accepted when CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is
enabled:

 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/336cc947-1f70-0286-6506-6df3d1d23a1d@linux.vnet.ibm.com/

While fixing this, the compiler warned me about the potential for the
ima_keyrings pointer to be NULL despite it being used, without a check
for NULL, as the destination address for the strcpy() in
ima_match_keyring().

It also became apparent that there was not adequate locking around the
use of the pre-allocated buffer that ima_keyrings points to. The kernel
keyring has a lock (.sem member of struct key) that ensures only one key
can be added to a given keyring at a time but there's no protection
against adding multiple keys to different keyrings at the same time.

The first patch in this series fixes both ima_keyrings related issues by
parsing the list of keyrings in a KEY_CHECK rule at policy load time
rather than deferring the parsing to policy check time. Once that fix is
in place, the second patch can enforce that
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS must be enabled in order to use
"func=KEY_CHECK" or "keyrings=" options in IMA policy.

The new "keyrings=" value handling is done in a generic manner that can
be reused by other options in the future. This seems to make sense as
"appraise_type=" has similar style (though it doesn't need to be fully
parsed at this time) and using "|" as an alternation delimiter is
becoming the norm in IMA policy.

This series is based on commit 311aa6aafea4 ("ima: move
APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM dependency on ARCH_POLICY to runtime") in
next-integrity.

Thank you for fixing and cleaning up the existing keyring policy
support.

Yes, thank you.  Better extending existing key value pairs than
defining new boot command line options.

This patch set is now queued in next-integrity-testing.

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.
