[RFC 1/2] security: Support early LSMs

Matthew Garrett matthewgarrett at google.com
Tue May 21 22:40:12 UTC 2019


The lockdown module is intended to allow for kernels to be locked down
early in boot - sufficiently early that we don't have the ability to
kmalloc() yet. Add support for early initialisation of some LSMs, and
then add them to the list of names when we do full initialisation later.
