[PATCH v14 22/23] LSM: Add /proc attr entry for full LSM context

Fri Jan 24 00:23:05 UTC 2020


Add an entry /proc/.../attr/context which displays the full
process security "context" in compound format:'
        lsm1\0value\0lsm2\0value\0...
This entry is not writable.

+LSM External Interfaces
+=======================
+
+The LSM infrastructure does not generally provide external interfaces.
+The individual security modules provide what external interfaces they
+require. The infrastructure does provide an interface for the special
+case where multiple security modules provide a process context. This
+is provided in compound context format.
+
+-  `lsm1\0value\0lsm2\0value\0`
+
+The special file ``/proc/pid/attr/context`` provides the security
+context of the identified process.
