Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/3] IMA: Generalize early boot data measurement

The current implementation of early boot measurement in the IMA subsystem is specific to asymmetric keys. It does not handle early boot measurement of data from other subsystems such as Linux Security Module (LSM), Device-Mapper, etc. As a result, data provided by these subsystems during system boot are not measured by IMA.

This patch series makes the early boot key measurement functions generic such that they can be used to measure any early boot data. The functions in ima_queue_keys.c are refactored to a new file ima_queue_data.c. The kernel configuration CONFIG_IMA_QUEUE_EARLY_BOOT_KEYS is removed and instead a new function namely ima_queuing_enabled() is added to check if the subsystems using early boot data measurement are enabled. Since measurement of asymmetric keys is the first consumer of early boot measurement, enable queuing if CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS and CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING are both enabled.

The IMA hook to measure kernel critical data ima_measure_critical_data() is updated to utilize early boot measurement support.

This series is based on the following repo/branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity.git
branch: next-integrity
commit aa662fc04f5b ("ima: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ima_file_hash")

This patch is dependent on the following patch series:
