Currently, when in-kernel module decompression (CONFIG_MODULE_DECOMPRESS) is enabled, IMA has no way to verify the appended module signature as it can't decompress the module. Define a new kernel_read_file_id enumerate READING_MODULE_COMPRESSED so IMA can calculate the compressed kernel module data hash on READING_MODULE_COMPRESSED and defer appraising/measuring it until on READING_MODULE when the module has been decompressed. Before enabling in-kernel module decompression, a kernel module in initramfs can still be loaded with ima_policy=secure_boot. So adjust the kernel module rule in secure_boot policy to allow either an IMA signature OR an appended signature i.e. to use "appraise func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_type=imasig|modsig".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
