[PATCH v3 7/7] ima: measure kexec load and exec events as critical data

[Tushar Sugandhi <tusharsu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There could be a potential mismatch between IMA measurements and TPM PCR
quotes caused by the indeterminate interval between kexec 'load' and
'execute'.  Memory allocated at kexec 'load' for IMA log buffer may run
out. It can lead to missing events in the IMA log after a soft reboot to
the new Kernel, resulting in TPM PCR quotes mismatch and remote
attestation failures.

Define two new IMA events, 'kexec_load' and 'kexec_execute', to be 
measured as critical data at kexec 'load' and 'execute' respectively.

These events serve as markers in the IMA log to verify the IMA events are
captured between kexec 'load' and 'execute' window.  The presence of a
'kexec_load' event in between the last two 'boot_aggregate' events in the
IMA log implies this is a kexec soft reboot, and not a cold-boot. And the
absence of 'kexec_execute' event after kexec soft reboot implies missing
events in that window which results in inconsistency with TPM PCR quotes,
necessitating a cold boot for further successful remote attestation.
