[LTP] [PATCH v2] ima_tpm.sh: properly detect failure to verify the IMA measurement list

Thu Aug 27 00:29:13 CEST 2026


test2 attempts to compare the aggregate PCR-10 value with the current
TPM PCR value based on the current measurement list, but does not take
into account that the measurement list might have grown.

evmctl returns success/failure when verifying the IMA measurement list
and displays the measurement list line number that matched.

Update test2 to check the return code, before failing the test.
Include the matched line number and total number of measurement
list records.
