I've split this across the various commits they touch:

Infrastructure management of the cred security blob
LSM: Infrastructure management of the file security
LSM: Infrastructure management of the inode security
LSM: Infrastructure management of the task security
LSM: Blob sharing support for S.A.R.A and LandLock

Based on these changes, I've uploaded the "v4.1", or "Casey is on
vacation", tree here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=lsm/blob-sharing-v4.1

I'm going to work on a merged series for the "arbitrary ordering" and
"blob-sharing" trees next...
