IMA is one of the two production-ready approaches to this -- the other is the dm-verity approach taken by ChromeOS to do block-level validation of the rootfs.

AIX TE (with or without RBAC) would be a third "production-ready" kernel-builtin that will accomplish this - maybe more. TE, once enabled to be more than passive - will prevent files from being opened and/or programs from being executed. Additionally, applications and library usage can be set to be exclusively on TEP (trusted execution path) or TLP (trusted library path). See ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_61/… for basic info
