[PATCH 6/8] LSM: General stacking

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] LSM: General stacking

Leverage the infrastructure management of the security blobs
to allow stacking of security modules in all but the most
extreme case. Security modules are informed of the location
of their data within the blobs at module initialization.

Stacking is optional. If stacking is not configured the old
limit of one "major" security module applies. If stacking is
configured TOMOYO can be configured with an of the other
modules. SELinux, Smack and AppArmor use (or in the AppArmor
case, threaten to use) secids, which are not (yet) shareable.

+Security modules that do not use the security data blobs maintained
+by the LSM infrastructure are considered "minor" modules. These may be
+included at compile time and stacked explicitly. Security modules that
+use the LSM maintained security blobs are considered "major" modules.
+These may only be stacked if the CONFIG_LSM_STACKED configuration
+option is used. If this is chosen all of the security modules selected
+will be used.
 
 A list of the active security modules can be found by reading
 ``/sys/kernel/security/lsm``. This is a comma separated list, and
