Because we don't grep kernel config for CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY, we just try to write empty string (invalid), thus policy must be repeatedly checked (see ima_policy.sh). Because after first write to policy (ROD echo "measure uid=$(id -u $user)" \> $IMA_POLICY) policy will be removed on systems without CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY. > + ROD rm -f $TEST_FILE > + tst_res TINFO

ima_measurements 1 TINFO: loaded AppArmor profiles: none I need to have closer look what the problem is. It can be fixed by checking policy with require_policy_writable in the setup. But that's problem for missing coverage (TCONF for first 3 tests). 2) writing policy in ima_measurement.sh leads to TCONF ima_policy.sh on systems without CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY. This has has no easy solution. Either we manage to load each policy for each overlay [1] or add support for reboot to LTP [2] and restart after each test or just some functionality will be skipped due policy disappear after writting. But still IMHO it'd be better to separate test4() into it's own file to not affect the original 3 tests in ima_measurement.sh (unless we fix the problem with repeated running of ima_measurement.sh).
