Subject: ima: skip measurement of cgroupfs files and update documentation

From: Roberto Sassu <rsassu@suse.de>

commit 6438de9f3fb5180d78a0422695d0b88c687757d3 upstream.

This patch adds a rule in the default measurement policy to skip inodes
in the cgroupfs filesystem. Measurements for this filesystem can be
avoided, as all the digests collected have the same value of the digest of
an empty file.

Furthermore, this patch updates the documentation of IMA policies in
Documentation/ABI/testing/ima_policy to make it consistent with
the policies set in security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c.
