Hi Mimi,
While the appended kernel module signature can be verified, when loading a kernel module via either the init_module or the finit_module syscall, verifying the IMA signature requires access to the file descriptor, which is only available via the finit_module syscall. As "modprobe" does not provide a flag allowing the syscall - init_module or finit_module - to be specified, this patch does not load a kernel module.
This test simply verifies that on secure boot enabled systems with "CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY" configured, that at least an appended kernel module signature or an IMA signature is required based on the Kconfig and the runtime IMA policy.
