[PATCH V37 03/29] security: Add a static lockdown policy LSM

Matthew Garrett matthewgarrett at google.com
Wed Jul 31 22:15:51 UTC 2019


While existing LSMs can be extended to handle lockdown policy,
distributions generally want to be able to apply a straightforward
static policy. This patch adds a simple LSM that can be configured to
reject either integrity or all lockdown queries, and can be configured
at runtime (through securityfs), boot time (via a kernel parameter) or
build time (via a kconfig option). Based on initial code by David
Howells.
