So IPE is interested in whether a file has an fsverity builtin signature, but it
doesn't care what the signature is or whether it has been checked.  What is the
point?

It does make sure the signature is checked. This hook call can only be triggered after fsverity_verify_signature() succeed. Therefore, for files that are marked with the security blob inode_sec->fs_verity_sign as true, they must successfully pass the fsverity_verify_signature() check.

Regarding the other question, the current version does not support defining policies to trust files based on the inner content of their signatures because the current patch set is already too large.

We plan to introduce new policy grammars to enable the policy to define which certificate of the signature can be trusted after this version is accepted.
