[PATCH v1 8/9] landlock: Add help to enable Landlock as a stacked LSM

Mickaël Salaün mic at digikod.net
Wed Nov 11 21:34:41 UTC 2020


When using make oldconfig with a previous configuration already
including the CONFIG_LSM variable, no question is asked to update its
content.

Update the Kconfig help and add hints to the sample to help user
understand the required configuration.

This also cut long strings to fit in 100 columns.
