[PATCH security-next v5 16/30] LSM: Build ordered list of LSMs to initialize

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org
Thu Oct 11 00:18:32 UTC 2018


This constructs an ordered list of LSMs to initialize, using a hard-coded
list of only "integrity": minor LSMs continue to have direct hook calls,
and major LSMs continue to initialize separately.
