KEYS: Make /proc/keys unconditional if CONFIG_KEYS=y

2015-01-22T22:34:32+00:00

Now that /proc/keys is used by libkeyutils to look up a key by type and
description, we should make it unconditional and remove
CONFIG_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS.

ima: added support for new kernel cmdline parameter ima_template_fmt

2014-10-13T12:39:02+00:00

This patch allows users to provide a custom template format through the
new kernel command line parameter 'ima_template_fmt'. If the supplied
format is not valid, IMA uses the default template descriptor.

Changelog:
 - v3:
   - added check for 'fields' and 'num_fields' in
     template_desc_init_fields() (suggested by Mimi Zohar)

 - v2:
   - using template_desc_init_fields() to validate a format string
     (Roberto Sassu)
   - updated documentation by stating that only the chosen template
     descriptor is initialized (Roberto Sassu)

 - v1:
   - simplified code of ima_template_fmt_setup()
     (Roberto Sassu, suggested by Mimi Zohar)
