[PATCH security-next v3 29/29] LSM: Add all exclusive LSMs to ordered initialization

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org
Tue Sep 25 00:18:32 UTC 2018


This removes CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY in favor of the explicit build-time
ordering offered by CONFIG_LSM_ORDER, 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.
