Petr Vorel ab60368ab6 ima: Fallback to the builtin hash algorithm
IMA requires having it's hash algorithm be compiled-in due to it's
early use.  The default IMA algorithm is protected by Kconfig to be
compiled-in.

The ima_hash kernel parameter allows to choose the hash algorithm. When
the specified algorithm is not available or available as a module, IMA
initialization fails, which leads to a kernel panic (mknodat syscall calls
ima_post_path_mknod()).  Therefore as fallback we force IMA to use
the default builtin Kconfig hash algorithm.

Fixed crash:

$ grep CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4 .config
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4=m

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
