Can we make the algorithm selectable via kernel parameter and/or writing
to a new selinuxfs node?

I can add a kernel parameter to select this hash algorithm.

Also can we provide a Kconfig option for the default value like IMA does?


Would we need both - Kconfig and kernel param?

The other option is to provide an IMA function to return the current hash algorithm used for measurement. That way a consistent hash algorithm can be employed by both IMA and the callers. Would that be better?
