Subject[PATCH] ima: optimize ima_pcr_extend function by asynchronous
Date
Because ima_pcr_extend() to operate the TPM chip, this process is
very time-consuming, for IMA, this is a blocking action, especially
when the TPM is in self test state, this process will block for up
to ten seconds.

Because the return result of ima_pcr_extend() is of no concern to IMA,
it only affects the audit of IMA, so this patch use async_schedule()
to asynchronously perform the ima_pcr_extend() operation and do an
audit operation at the end.

In a vtpm scenario, I added the measure policy of BPRM and MMAP to
compare the efficiency before and after applying the patch. The results
show that the overall startup efficiency of conventional processes can
be increased by 5% to 10%. I believe this efficiency increase It will
be more obvious on real hardware tpm.
