[PATCH v4 15/19] LSM: Infrastructure management of the task security

Casey Schaufler casey at schaufler-ca.com
Sat Sep 22 00:19:37 UTC 2018


Move management of the task_struct->security blob out
of the individual security modules and into the security
infrastructure. Instead of allocating the blobs from within
the modules the modules tell the infrastructure how much
space is required, and the space is allocated there.
The only user of this blob is AppArmor. The AppArmor use
is abstracted to avoid future conflict.
