[PATCH v5 3/7] IMA: add hook to measure critical data

[Tushar Sugandhi <tusharsu@linux.microsoft.com>]

Currently, IMA does not provide a generic function for kernel subsystems
to measure their critical data. Examples of critical data in this context
could be kernel in-memory r/o structures, hash of the memory structures,
or data that represents a linux kernel subsystem state change. The 
critical data, if accidentally or maliciously altered, can compromise
the integrity of the system.

A generic function provided by IMA to measure critical data would enable
various subsystems with easier and faster on-boarding to use IMA
infrastructure and would also avoid code duplication.

Add a new IMA func CRITICAL_DATA and a corresponding IMA hook
ima_measure_critical_data() to support measuring critical data for 
various kernel subsystems.

+ * ima_measure_critical_data - measure kernel subsystem data
+ * critical to integrity of the kernel
+ * @event_data_source: name of the data source being measured;
+ * typically it should be the name of the kernel subsystem that is sending
+ * the data for measurement
+ * @event_name: name of an event from the kernel subsystem that is sending
+ * the data for measurement
+ * @buf: pointer to buffer containing data to measure
+ * @buf_len: length of buffer(in bytes)
+ * @measure_buf_hash: if set to true - will measure hash of the buf,
+ *                    instead of buf
+ *
+ * A given kernel subsystem (event_data_source) may send
+ * data (buf) to be measured when the data or the subsystem state changes.
+ * The state/data change can be described by event_name.
+ * Examples of critical data (buf) could be kernel in-memory r/o structures,
+ * hash of the memory structures, or data that represents subsystem
+ * state change.
+ * measure_buf_hash can be used to save space, if the data being measured
+ * is too large.
+ * The data (buf) can only be measured, not appraised.
