IMA-appraisal is still unusable in Ubuntu 16.04

[Mehmet Kayaalp]

A recent bug (Bug #1558553) that renders IMA and trusted keyrings unusable was prematurely marked as fixed. The bug report was missing a couple of minor fixes which are attached. These patches are also submitted to LSM and keyrings mailing lists to be upstreamed.

* KEYS: Insert incompressible bytes to vmlinux to reserve space in bzImage
* KEYS: Print insert-sys-cert information to stout instead of stderr

Will these patches get merged to at least linux-next soon ?

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

bug 1582852 is dependent on these two patches.

[Mehmet Kayaalp (mkayaalp)]

I submitted them on April 8. I will resubmit in a couple of weeks for the next -rc period. But when it reaches linux-next is up to the keyrings maintainer (David Howells <email address hidden>).
