[Linux-ima-user] Does ima work on a armv8 platform?

[杨子涵 <yzh...@12...>]

Hi, all,
I'm a new user of IMA. I want to use it on on Hikey board(with Kirin 620 64 bit ARM CPU) and I have two questions about it. I would appreicate it very much if any of you could give some clues.
Here are my questions:


1. I find in your wiki page that you have tested it on Huawei P8 phone which is equipped with the HiSilicon Kirin 930/935 64 bit ARM CPU, but it doesn't tell me wether it supports other armv8 platforms. I'm using a Hikey board whose CPU is Kirin 620 64 bit. The AOSP has already supported Hikey (see reference https://source.android.com/source/devices.html#running-android-hikey  ), but IMA has not been tested on it, so I wonder if it will work on Hikey. Do I need special configurations other than the ones listed in the wiki page?


2. Your wiki page tells me that IMA/EVM support was implemented using Android 5.0.2 source tree. What I would like to know is that wether I can use it on other arm linux systems, for example, on a 4.4.0 aarch64 linux instead of Android? Because I don't have a display screen available, so running Android on it may not be feasible for me at present.


Thanks a lot.
