[PATCH v22 04/23] LSM: Use lsmblob in security_kernel_act_as

Casey Schaufler casey at schaufler-ca.com
Wed Nov 4 23:40:55 UTC 2020


Change the security_kernel_act_as interface to use a lsmblob
structure in place of the single u32 secid in support of
module stacking. Change its only caller, set_security_override,
to do the same. Change that one's only caller,
set_security_override_from_ctx, to call it with the new
parameter type.

The security module hook is unchanged, still taking a secid.
The infrastructure passes the correct entry from the lsmblob.
lsmblob_init() is used to fill the lsmblob structure, however
this will be removed later in the series when security_secctx_to_secid()
is updated to provide a lsmblob instead of a secid.
