After this, the bootloader verifies the kernel and the initramfs. As there's no currently supported integrity method for initramfs, and it's typically already verified by the bootloader. This patch introduces a new IPE property `boot_verified` which allows author of IPE policy to indicate trust for files from initramfs. The implementation of this feature utilizes the newly added `unpack_initramfs` hook. This hook marks the superblock of the rootfs after the initramfs has been unpacked into it. Since the rootfs is never unmounted during system operation, it is advised to switch to a different policy that doesn't rely on the `boot_verified` property after the real rootfs is in charge. This ensures that the trust policies remain relevant and effective throughout the system's operation.To be clear, most (all?) init systems cleanup the initial rootfs and mount another filesystem on top of it during the boot process, correct? That should probably be mentioned in the commit description, perhaps with references to the pivot_root(2) and switch_root(8) docs. While I don't disagree with your recommendation above, I do believe it is unnecessarily scary sounding.
Yes, removing the dependency on the switch can significantly simplify the code.

While there is noting wrong about this from a correctness perspective, I believe the reality is that the vast majority of systems these days are built with this enabled, and having all these pre-processor checks adds to the complexity of the code. Additional comments about this below ...
I agree this can save a comparision if we only have sb_ctx. But there are bdev_ctx(for dm-verity) and inode_ctx(for fsverity) will be introduced later. So I still think the NULL check should be done at the current place.

This looks better, I will update this part accordingly.

Sure, I can change the name and remove the KCONFIG dependency.
This sounds reasonable to me.

On a system without _INITRD the TRUE case would never trigger, only the FALSE case, which seems like the Right Thing. It just seems wrong to me to have the policy grammar change depending on what the kernel supports, it seems like IPE should parse and enforce the policy regardless of the kernel's config, with the understanding that some rules might never be satisfied as it would be impossible for a given kernel config, e.g. "boot_verified=TRUE" on a non-initramfs system. I probably should have thought of this sooner, but I believe the same applies to the dm-verity and fs-verity policy tokens.
