Hi Mimi

unfortunately yes. If there are more generic rules,
the number of samples differs from that expected.

For example, if you have an existing rule like:

measure func=BPRM_CHECK mask=MAY_EXEC

you will have:

test_test_ima:PASS:run_measured_process #1 0 nsec
test_test_ima:FAIL:num_samples_or_err unexpected
                num_samples_or_err: actual 2 != expected 1

Test #1 fails because also ima_setup.sh is measured.

Thanks
