I'll take a look at the changes in your branch and test it with SELinux 
enabled.

This should be fine.

The reason I put the tests in different files was because I couldn't 
find a way to run the tests independently (i mean - say, run the SELinux 
policy measurement test but not the state measurement test or vice-versa).

The IMA hook to measure kernel critical data + SELinux measurement 
changes are still being reviewed. Tushar has posted v9 of the patch set.

Sounds good - Thanks.

"template=ima_buf" is no longer needed in the IMA policy rule since 
"ima_buf" is the default template for buffer measurement now. I will 
update "datafiles/ima_selinux/selinux.policy" file.

okay.

okay.

Thanks a lot for your help Petr. Appreciate it.
