I'm not sure if this affects your decision to include this action in
the measurements, but this function is hopefully going away in the not
too distant future as we do away with support for disabling SELinux at
runtime.

FWIW, I'm not sure it's overly useful anyway; you only get here if you
never had any SELinux policy/state configured and you decide to
disable SELinux instead of loading a policy.  However, I've got no
objection to this code.
If support for disabling SELinux at runtime will be removed, then I don't see a reason to trigger a measurement here. I'll remove this measurement.

Yes, naming is hard, but let's try to be a bit more consistent within
a single file.  The existing function is prefixed with "selinux_ima_"
perhaps we can do something similar here?
"selinux_ima_collect_state()" or something similar perhaps?

Sure - will rename the function to "selinux_ima_collect_state()"


Perhaps instead of returning zero on success you could return the
length of the generated string?  It's not a big deal, but it saves an
argument for whatever that is worth these days.  I also might pass the
state as the first argument and the generated string pointer as the
second argument, but that is pretty nit-picky.
Sure - will make this change.

+       }
+       ++buf_len;

With all of the variables you are measuring being booleans, it seems
like using snprintf() is a bit overkill, no?  What about a series of
strlen() calls with additional constants for the booleans and extra
bits?  For example:

   buf_len = 1; // '\0';
   buf_len += strlen("foo") + 3; // "foo=0;"
   buf_len += strlen("bar") + 3; // "bar=0;"

Not that it matters a lot here, but the above must be more efficient
than calling snprintf().

You are right - using strlen/strcat would be more efficient here. But I feel it is safer to use snprintf() rather than computing the length of each measured entity and concatenating it to the destination buffer.

I'll try strlen/strcat approach.

+                                 state->policycap[i]);
+       }

Similarly, you could probably replace all of this with
strcat()/strlcat() calls since you don't have to render an integer
into a string.
Sure - I'll give this a try.

The lock-measure-unlock pattern appears enough that I wonder if we
should move the lock/unlock into selinux_ima_measure_state() and
create a new function, selinux_ima_measure_state_unlocked(), to cover
the existing case in selinux_notify_policy_change().  It would have
the advantage of not requiring a pointless lock/unlock in the case
where CONFIG_IMA=n.


Agreed.
