Dmitry Kasatkin 85865c1fa1 ima: add policy support for file system uuid
The IMA policy permits specifying rules to enable or disable
measurement/appraisal/audit based on the file system magic number.
If, for example, the policy contains an ext4 measurement rule,
the rule is enabled for all ext4 partitions.

Sometimes it might be necessary to enable measurement/appraisal/audit
only for one partition and disable it for another partition of the
same type.  With the existing IMA policy syntax, this can not be done.

This patch provides support for IMA policy rules to specify the file
system by its UUID (eg. fsuuid=397449cd-687d-4145-8698-7fed4a3e0363).

For partitions not being appraised, it might be a good idea to mount
file systems with the 'noexec' option to prevent executing non-verified
binaries.

Description:
The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
values of executables and other sensitive system files
loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
the file ima/policy is closed.
IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
for local measurement appraisal.

The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
open for read by root in do_filp_open. The default appraisal
policy appraises all files owned by root.
