IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM has been marked as dependent on !IMA_ARCH_POLICY in compile time, enforcing the appraisal whenever the kernel had the arch policy option enabled.
However it breaks systems where the option is actually set but the system wasn't booted in a "secure boot" platform. In this scenario, anytime the an appraisal policy (i.e. ima_policy=appraisal_tcb) is used it will be forced, giving no chance to the user set the 'fix' state (ima_appraise=fix) to actually measure system's files.
This patch remove this compile time dependency and move it to a runtime decision, based on the arch policy loading failure/success.

Thanks for looking at this.
For arch specific policies, kernel signature verification is enabled based on the secure boot state of the system. Perhaps, enforce the appraisal as well based on if secure boot is enabled.
Thanks & Regards,

That's a good point.
I'm going to take another look and see where the check fits better and come back with a new patch(set).
Thanks Nayna.

CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM controls the "ima_appraise" mode bits. The mode bits are or'ed with the MODULES, FIRMWARE, POLICY, and KEXEC bits, which have already been set in ima_init_arch_policy().
From ima.h:

As Nayna pointed out, only when an architecture specific "secure boot" policy is loaded, is this applicable.

Sorry for missing this part! Of course I should've spoted that just my following ima_appraise down the code.
From ima.h: /* Appraise integrity measurements */ #define IMA_APPRAISE_ENFORCE 0x01 #define IMA_APPRAISE_FIX 0x02 #define IMA_APPRAISE_LOG 0x04 #define IMA_APPRAISE_MODULES 0x08 #define IMA_APPRAISE_FIRMWARE 0x10 #define IMA_APPRAISE_POLICY 0x20 #define IMA_APPRAISE_KEXEC 0x40

Yes, will come up with patch covering only this case.
Thanks Mimi!
