[PATCH v5 02/13] ima: Replace static htable queue with dynamically allocated array

From: Roberto Sassu <[email protected]>

The IMA hash table is a fixed-size array of hlist_head buckets:

    struct hlist_head ima_htable[IMA_MEASURE_HTABLE_SIZE];

IMA_MEASURE_HTABLE_SIZE is (1 << IMA_HASH_BITS) = 1024 buckets, each a
struct hlist_head (one pointer, 8 bytes on 64-bit). That is 8 KiB allocated
in BSS for every kernel, regardless of whether IMA is ever used, and
regardless of how many measurements are actually made.

Replace the fixed-size array with a RCU-protected pointer to a dynamically
allocated array that is initialized in ima_init_htable(), which is called
from ima_init() during early boot. ima_init_htable() calls the static
function ima_alloc_replace_htable() which, other than initializing the hash
table the first time, can also hot-swap the existing hash table with a
blank one.

The allocation in ima_alloc_replace_htable() uses kcalloc() so the buckets
are zero-initialised (equivalent to HLIST_HEAD_INIT { .first = NULL }).
Callers of ima_alloc_replace_htable() must call synchronize_rcu() and free
the returned hash table.

Finally, access the hash table with rcu_dereference() in
ima_lookup_digest_entry() (reader side) and with
rcu_dereference_protected() in ima_add_digest_entry() (writer side).

No functional change: bucket count, hash function, and all locking remain
identical.
