Introduce the basic definitions, exported to user space, to use digest
lists. The definitions, added to include/uapi/linux/diglim.h, are
documented in Documentation/security/diglim/implementation.rst.

+Implementation
+==============
+
+This section describes the implementation of DIGLIM.
+
+
+Basic Definitions
+-----------------
+
+This section introduces the basic definitions required to use DIGLIM.
+
+
+Compact Digest List Format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/diglim.h
+ :identifiers: compact_list_hdr
+
+Compact Types
+.............
+
+Digests can be of different types:
+
+- ``COMPACT_PARSER``: digests of executables which are given the ability to
+ parse digest lists not in the compact format and to upload to the kernel
+ the digest list converted to the compact format;
+- ``COMPACT_FILE``: digests of regular files;
+- ``COMPACT_METADATA``: digests of file metadata (e.g. the digest
+ calculated by EVM to verify a portable signature);
+- ``COMPACT_DIGEST_LIST``: digests of digest lists (only used internally by
+ the kernel).
+
+Different users of DIGLIM might query digests with different compact types.
+For example, IMA would be interested in COMPACT_FILE, as it deals with
+regular files, while EVM would be interested in COMPACT_METADATA, as it
+verifies file metadata.
+
+
+Compact Modifiers
+.................
+
+Digests can also have specific attributes called modifiers (bit position):
+
+- ``COMPACT_MOD_IMMUTABLE``: file content or metadata should not be
+ modifiable.
+
+IMA might use this information to deny open for writing, or EVM to deny
+setxattr operations.
+
+
+Actions
+.......
+
+This section defines a set of possible actions that have been executed on
+the digest lists (bit position):
+
+- ``COMPACT_ACTION_IMA_MEASURED``: the digest list has been measured by
+ IMA;
+- ``COMPACT_ACTION_IMA_APPRAISED``: the digest list has been successfully
+ appraised by IMA;
+- ``COMPACT_ACTION_IMA_APPRAISED_DIGSIG``: the digest list has been
+ successfully appraised by IMA by verifying a digital signature.
+
+This information might help users of DIGLIM to decide whether to use the
+result of a queried digest.
+
+For example, if a digest belongs to a digest list that was not measured
+before, IMA should ignore the result of the query, as the measurement list
+sent to remote verifiers would lack which digests have been uploaded to the
+kernel.
+
+
+Compact Digest List Example
+...........................
+
+::
+
+ version: 1, type: 2, modifiers: 0 algo: 4, count: 3, datalen: 96
+ <SHA256 digest1><SHA256 digest2><SHA256 digest3>
+ version: 1, type: 3, modifiers: 1 algo: 6, count: 2, datalen: 128
+ <SHA512 digest1><SHA512 digest2>
+
+This digest list consists of two blocks. The first block contains three
+SHA256 digests of regular files. The second block contains two SHA512
+digests of immutable metadata.
+
+
+Compact Digest List Operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Finally, this section defines the possible operations that can be performed
+with digest lists:
+
+- ``DIGEST_LIST_ADD``: the digest list is being added;
+- ``DIGEST_LIST_DEL``: the digest list is being deleted.
