[PATCH v2 0/2] ima: change how MODULE_SIG_FORCE is checked on modules checking policy

["Bruno E. O. Meneguele" <brdeoliv@redhat.com>]

This patchset ensure that IMA's modules checking policy:

    measure func=MODULE_CHECK uid=0

rely on the correct value of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, since the way it
is today the code completely ignores the module.sig_enforce cmdline
param, which behaves in a OR logic with the CONFIG value
(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE || module.sig_enforce). That said, everytime a
module would load, in the current checking code, when the kernel was not
compiled with the CONFIG set the call to init_module syscall fails with
-EACCES:

# strace -f -v modprobe <any-module> | grep init_module
init_module(0x55b9bcc9bba0, 17763, "") = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

With this patchset the result would rely on the module.sig_enforce
cmdline as well. Once the CONFIG is not set, but the param is, the
result would be 'success', as it should be:

# strace -f -v modprobe <any-module> | grep init_module
init_module(0x7f9602d6e010, 386646, "") = 0

The patchset was tested in two different kernels: 4.13.6 (Fedora 27) and
4.14.0-rc4 (integrity-next tree)

  module: export module signature enforcement status
  ima: check signature enforcement against cmdline param instead of
    CONFIG
