When a system is very busy with IMA taking measurements into more than
one bank, then we often do not get the PCR 10 values of the sha1 bank
that represents the same log entry as the reading of the PCR value of
the sha256 bank. In other words, the reading of the PCR 10 value from
the sha1 bank may represent the PCR 10 state at the time of the
n-th entry in the log while the reading of the PCR 10 value from the
sha256 bank may represent the state at the time of a later-than-n entry.
The result currently is that the PCR measurements do not match and
on a busy system the tool may not easily report a successful match.
This patch fixes this issue by separating the TPM bank comparison for
each one of the banks being looked and using a bit mask for checking
which banks have already been matched. Once the mask has become 0
all PCR banks have been successfully matched.
A run on a busy system may result in the output as follows indicating
PCR bank matches at the n-th entry for the sha1 bank and at a later
entry, possibly n + 1 or n + 2 or so, for the sha256 bank. The
output is interleaved with a match of the sha1 bank against 'padded
matching'.
