There are a few places in the kernel where LSMs would like to have
visibility into the contents of a kernel buffer that has been loaded or
read. While security_kernel_post_read_file() (which includes the
buffer) exists as a pairing for security_kernel_read_file(), no such
hook exists to pair with security_kernel_load_data().

Earlier proposals for just using security_kernel_post_read_file() with a
NULL file argument were rejected (i.e. "file" should always be valid for
the security_..._file hooks, but it appears at least one case was
left in the kernel during earlier refactoring. (This will be fixed in
a subsequent patch.)

Since not all cases of security_kernel_load_data() can have a single
contiguous buffer made available to the LSM hook (e.g. kexec image
segments are separately loaded), there needs to be a way for the LSM to
reason about its expectations of the hook coverage. In order to handle
this, add a "contents" argument to the "kernel_load_data" hook that
indicates if the newly added "kernel_post_load_data" hook will be called
with the full contents once loaded. That way, LSMs requiring full contents
can choose to unilaterally reject "kernel_load_data" with contents=false
(which is effectively the existing hook coverage), but when contents=true
they can allow it and later evaluate the "kernel_post_load_data" hook
once the buffer is loaded.

With this change, LSMs can gain coverage over non-file-backed data loads
(e.g. init_module(2) and firmware userspace helper), which will happen
in subsequent patches.

Additionally prepare IMA to start processing these cases.

At least from an IMA perspective, the original
security_kernel_load_data() hook was defined in order to prevent
certain syscalls - init_module, kexec_load - and loading firmware via
sysfs.  The resulting error messages were generic.
  
Unlike security_kernel_load_data(), security_kernel_post_load_data()
is meant to be used, but without a file desciptor specific
information, like the filename associated with the buffer, is missing.
 Having the filename isn't actually necessary for verifying the
appended signature, but it is needed for auditing signature
verification failures and including in the IMA measurement list.

Right -- I'm open to ideas on this, but as it stands, other LSMs (e.g.
BPF LSM) can benefit from the security_kernel_post_load_data() to
examine the contents, etc.

Is there anything that needs to change in this patch?
