Good point.

Separating them will help clarify the patch description.  There's no
harm in defining the critical data source first.

The point is that you're measuring critical data, not just any data
from any source.  Whatever term is used, it needs to be added to the
Documentation/ABI/testing/ima_policy.  I think something that is self
describing will help.  See what makes the most sense.

In the other thread, we discussed separating out "measure_payload_hash"from other changes.  The end result you want one logical change per patch.  Each patch builds upon the previous one.  (Look at how Tyler does it.)

I think I misinterpreted this code.  As long as IMA_UID and IMA_PCR
aren't required, then it is fine.

Yes, something along those lines.  Does the list of critical data need
to be vetted?  And if so, against what?
