I already nacked this approach because the two cases don't
share a bit of code. When I looked closer it was even crazier.
The way ima uses this hook and the post_load hook today is a travesty.
The way the security_kernel_file_read and security_kernel_file_post_read
are called today and are used by ima don't make the least little bit of
sense.
Abusing security_kernel_file_read in the module loader and then abusing
security_kernel_file_post_read in the firmware loader is insane. The
loadpin lsm could not even figure this out and so it failed to work
because of these shenanighans.
Only implementing kernel_file_read to handle the !file case is pretty
much insane. There is no way this should be expanded to cover kexec
until the code actually makes sense. We need a maintainable kernel.
Below is where I suggest you start on sorting out these security hooks.
- Adding a security_kernel_arg to catch when you want to allow/deny the
use of an argument to a syscall. What security_kernel_file_read and
security_kernel_file_post_read have been abused for.
- Removing ima_file_read because it is completely subsumed by the new
call.
- Please note with adding this new hook there is no code shared between
the cases, and the lsm code becomes simpler shorter when it can assume
security_kernel_file_post_read always takes a struct file. (Even with
the addition of a new security hook).
