What does 'detach it' mean? Does it mean we're not using
current->audit_context?

Do you have an example (pointer) to the format for a 'syscall
accompanied auxiliary record'?

ima_parse_rule() is invoked when setting a policy by writing it into
/sys/kernel/security/ima/policy. We unfortunately don't have the
current->audit_context in this case.

Following the discussion there and the concern with breaking user space,
how can we split up the AUDIT_INTEGRITY_RULE that is used in
ima_audit_measurement() and ima_parse_rule(), without 'breaking user space'?

A message produced by ima_parse_rule() looks like this here:

type=INTEGRITY_RULE msg=audit(1526566213.870:305): action="dont_measure"
fsmagic="0x9fa0" res=1

in contrast to that an INTEGRITY_PCR record type:

type=INTEGRITY_PCR msg=audit(1526566235.193:334): pid=1615 uid=0 auid=0
ses=2 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
op="invalid_pcr" cause="open_writers" comm="scp"
name="/var/log/audit/audit.log" dev="dm-0" ino=1962625 res=1

Should some of the fields from INTEGRITY_PCR also appear in
INTEGRITY_RULE? If so, which ones? We could probably refactor the
current  integrity_audit_message() and have ima_parse_rule() call into
it to get those fields as well. I suppose adding new fields to it
wouldn't be considered breaking user space?
