[PATCH security-next v5 25/30] LSM: Add all exclusive LSMs to ordered initialization

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org
Thu Oct 11 00:18:41 UTC 2018


This removes CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY in favor of the explicit ordering
offered by CONFIG_LSM and adds all the exclusive LSMs to the ordered
LSM initialization. The old meaning of CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY is now
captured by which exclusive LSM is listed first in the LSM order. All
LSMs not added to the ordered list are explicitly disabled.
