If this policy here is active on the host then file executions
(BPRM_CHECK) of uid=0 should be measured and audited on the host in any
IMA namespace that uid=0 may create. We achieve this with hierarchical
processing (v6: 10/17).

measure func=BPRM_CHECK mask=MAY_EXEC uid=0

audit func=BPRM_CHECK mask=MAY_EXEC uid=0
