The EVM signature includes the inode number and (optionally) the
filesystem UUID, making it impractical to ship EVM signatures in
packages. This patch adds a new portable format intended to allow
distributions to include EVM signatures. It is identical to the existing
format but hardcodes the inode and generation numbers to 0 and does not
include the filesystem UUID even if the kernel is configured to do so.

Admins should note that creating portable signatures that do not include
the security.ima xattr would allow these signatures to be applied to any
file with the same owners and security labels, which would allow
subversion of EVM's security guarantees. The kernel does not attempt to
enforce this.

Based on earlier work by Dmitry Kasatkin and Mikhail Kurinnoi.

The existing IMA signature format is already portable and immutable.
 The new portable and immutable signature type is only needed for EVM.
 I don't see a need to refer to it as EVM_IMA_XATTR_PORTABLE_DIGSIG.

As much as possible IMA and EVM should work independently of each
other.  But in this case, I think we need to blur the lines a bit.

Currently, before writing a new security.evm value, the existing
security.evm value is verified.  To do this it has to read the
security xattrs to calculate the hash/hmac.  How hard would it really
be to verify that a security.ima xattr exists, before writing this new
EVM signature?  How hard would it be to make sure that security.ima is
included in the calculation on verification?

Ok, I can change the name.

I don't think it would be especially hard to ensure that security.ima
is present if the portable digsig format is used, but as you say it
would blur the lines a little.

I'd rather err on the side of caution, preventing an unnecessary
possible attack.  In this case, I think it is warranted.
