ima: provide 'ima_appraise=log' kernel option

The kernel boot parameter "ima_appraise" currently defines 'off', 'enforce' and 'fix' modes. When designing a policy and labeling the system, access to files are either blocked in the default 'enforce' mode or automatically fixed in the 'fix' mode. It is beneficial to be able to run the system in a logging only mode, without fixing it, in order to properly analyze the system. This patch adds a 'log' mode to run the system in a permissive mode and log the appraisal results. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <[email protected]>
