Hi Mimi,

Problem Statement:

Keys created or updated in the system are currently not being measured.

This change aims to address measuring keys created or updated
in the system:

   => Patches #1 through #5 update IMA policy functions to handle
      measurement of keys based on configured IMA policy.

   => Patches #6 and #7 add IMA hook for measuring keys and the call
      to the IMA hook from key_create_or_update function.
      Keys are processed immediately - no support for
      deferred processing.

   => Patches #8 through #10 add support for queuing keys if
      custom IMA policies have not been applied yet and process
      the queued keys when custom IMA policies are applied.

I was wondering if it'd be better to split this patch set into two sets:

1st set including the patches for measuring keys without queuing support (Patches #1 through #7)

2nd set including the patches that add queuing support (Patches #8 through #10).

thanks,
