Hi Lakshmi,

I haven't yet tested the patch.  Below are a couple of comments.

The problem with the existing "pr" level is kind of irrelevant.   You
could keep the existing pr_debug() statement, if you wanted to.  The
reason for auditing a failure is because it is "integrity" relevant or
more generically "security" relevant.  The first patch addresses the
change in the audit message format.

"ima_hooks_func_measure_str" is a bit long.  There's no reason for
having both "hooks" and "func" in the name.  Also this is a static
function, so it doesn't really need to be prefixed with "ima_".  Maybe
truncate it to "func_measure_str()", similar to "func_token".
