[PATCH v9 23/23] ima: Enable IMA namespaces

[Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce the IMA_NS in Kconfig for IMA namespace enablement.

Enable the lazy initialization of an IMA namespace when a user mounts
SecurityFS and writes '1' into IMA's 'active' securityfs file. A
user_namespace will now get a pointer to an ima_namespace and therefore
implement get_current_ns() for the namespacing case that returns this
pointer. Use get_current_ns() in those places that require access to the
current IMA namespace. In some places, primarily those related to
IMA-appraisal and changes to file attributes, keep the pointer to
init_ima_ns, since there flags related to file measurements may be
affected, which are not supported in IMA namespaces, yet.

Before using the ima_namespace pointer test it with ns_is_active()
to check whether it is NULL and whether the ima_namespace is active.
If it's not active, it cannot be used, yet. Therefore, return early
from those functions that may now get either get a NULL pointer from
this call or where ns->active is still 0. The init_ima_ns is always
set to be active, thus passing the check.

Implement ima_ns_from_file() for SecurityFS-related files where we can
now get the IMA namespace via the user namespace pointer associated
with the superblock of the SecurityFS filesystem instance.

Return -EACCES to IMA's securityfs files, except for the 'active' file,
until the IMA namespace has been set to active.

Switch access to userns->ima_ns to use acquire/release semantics to ensure
that a newly created ima_namespace structure is fully visible upon access.

Only emit the kernel log message 'policy update completed' for the
init_ima_ns.

Gate access to ima_appraise variable to init_ima_ns in ima_load_data().

v9:
 - ima_post_key_create_or_update: Only handle key if in init_ima_ns
 - Removed ns == NULL checks where user_namespace is now passed
 - Defer setting of user_ns->ima_ns until end of ima_fs_ns_init();
   required new ima_free_imans() and new user_ns_set_ima_ns()
 - Only emit log message 'policy update completed' for init_ima_ns
 - Introduce get_current_ns() only in this patch
 - Check for ns == &init_ima_ns in ima_load_data()
