Subject: [PATCH v5 08/11] ima,evm: move initcalls to the LSM framework
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:48:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017204815.505363-19-paul@paul-moore.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251017204815.505363-12-paul@paul-moore.com>
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>
This patch converts IMA and EVM to use the LSM frameworks's initcall
mechanism. It moved the integrity_fs_init() call to ima_fs_init() and
evm_init_secfs(), to work around the fact that there is no "integrity" LSM,
and introduced integrity_fs_fini() to remove the integrity directory, if
empty. Both integrity_fs_init() and integrity_fs_fini() support the
scenario of being called by both the IMA and EVM LSMs.
This patch does not touch any of the platform certificate code that
lives under the security/integrity/platform_certs directory as the
IMA/EVM developers would prefer to address that in a future patchset.
