In addition to file measurements, other types of measurements should be
included in the IMA measurement list to attest to the integrity of the
running system.  This patch set introduces two new types of measurements -
buffer and pre-calculated digests.

The first, for example, can be used to measure the kexec boot command
line, while the latter could be used for including asymmetric key id
information.

Mimi Zohar (3):
  ima: measure other types of data
  kexec: measure boot command line
  ima: add pre-calculated measurements (experimental)
