Hi Petr,
Thanks for updating the readme. Should I send a new patch with
the changes you have proposed?

Thanks,
Lachlan

Hi Lachlan,

The current documentation for the existing IMA key test was
left in by accident by a previous merge. It does not apply
to the test that is currently included in the LTP.
Update the documentation for the IMA key test.

Thanks for fixing this, I propose this changes:

Fixes: d2768c84e ("IMA: Add a test to verify measurement of keys")

This "Mandatory kernel configuration for IMA:" would be in docs twice. The above
one (CONFIG_INTEGRITY=y, CONFIG_IMA=y) is required for all tests.
Take it that "### IMA key test" is header 3, but ## IMA tests
is header 2 (upper level).

  ```
  CONFIG_IMA_READ_POLICY=y
-CONFIG_IMA_X509_PATH="/etc/keys/x509_ima.der"
-CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING=y
-CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="/etc/keys/ima-local-ca.pem"
  ```
-Test also requires loaded policy with `func=KEY_CHECK`, see example in `keycheck.policy`.

  ### IMA kexec test
  `ima_kexec.sh` requires loaded policy which contains `measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE`,
I also removed "IMA" from EVM tests header.

Kind regards,
Petr
