In addition to file measurements, other types of measurements should be included in the IMA measurement list to attest to the integrity of the running system. This patch set introduces two new types of measurements - buffer and pre-calculated digests. The first, for example, can be used to measure the kexec boot command line, while the latter could be used for including asymmetric key id information.
