IMA: define a hook to measure kernel integrity critical data
IMA provides capabilities to measure file and buffer data. However, various data structures, policies, and states stored in kernel memory also impact the integrity of the system. Several kernel subsystems contain such integrity critical data. These kernel subsystems help protect the integrity of the system. Currently, IMA does not provide a generic function for measuring kernel integrity critical data. Define ima_measure_critical_data, a new IMA hook, to measure kernel integrity critical data.
