Thank you!  With the change, as expected there are two "boot_aggregate"
records in the measurement list.  With a custom policy, the measurement
list verifies.

# grep boot_aggregate
/sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements 
10 fe0b821290b1bd229e0d34c5571f48eeff403119 ima-sig
sha1:a87d47e560d148cd1f4c8da677a84ddbe27f12f8 boot_aggregate 
10 fe0b821290b1bd229e0d34c5571f48eeff403119 ima-sig
sha1:a87d47e560d148cd1f4c8da677a84ddbe27f12f8 boot_aggregate 

# cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/runtime_measurements_count
5597

# evmctl ima_measurement
/sys/kernel/security/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
Matched per TPM
bank calculated digest(s).

FYI, the builtin "ima_policy=tcb" results in measurement violations.  
Normally, the measurement list can still be verified using the evmctl
"--ignore-violations" option.   For some reason with the "tcb" policy, 
the measurement list doesn't verify even with the "--ignore-violations" 
option after kexec.  I assume this is a result of additional
measurements being added after the kexec load, which aren't being
carried across kexec.

thanks,

Mimi
