The current implementation of early boot measurement in
the IMA subsystem is very specific to asymmetric keys. It does not
handle early boot measurement of data from other subsystems such as
Linux Security Module (LSM), Device-Mapper, etc. As a result data,
provided by these subsystems during system boot are not measured by IMA.

Update the early boot key measurement to handle any early boot data.
Refactor the code from ima_queue_keys.c to a new file ima_queue_data.c.
Rename the kernel configuration CONFIG_IMA_QUEUE_EARLY_BOOT_KEYS to
CONFIG_IMA_QUEUE_EARLY_BOOT_DATA so it can be used for enabling any
early boot data measurement. Since measurement of asymmetric keys is
the first consumer of early boot measurement, this kernel configuration
is enabled if IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS and SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING are
both enabled.

Update the IMA hook ima_measure_critical_data() to utilize early boot
measurement support.

Please limit the changes in this patch to renaming the functions and/or
files.  For example, adding "measure_payload_hash" should be a separate
patch, not hidden here.


Thanks for the feedback Mimi.

I'll split this into 2 patches:

PATCH 1: Rename files + rename CONFIG
PATCH 2: Update IMA hook to utilize early boot data measurement.
