[RFC v2 13/19] securityfs: Extend securityfs with namespacing support

Stefan Berger stefanb at linux.ibm.com
Fri Dec 3 02:31:12 UTC 2021


Extend 'securityfs' for support of IMA namespacing so that each
IMA (user) namespace can have its own front-end for showing the currently
active policy, the measurement list, number of violations and so on. This
filesystem adds a new API call securityfs_ns_create_mount() for creating
a new instance of the filesystem.

The API calls the namespaced SecurityFS have the prefix securityfs_ns_ and
take additional parameters struct vfsmount ** and int *mount_count that
allow for access to different instances of this filesystem.

The filesystem can be mounted to the usual securityfs mount point like
this:

mount -t securityfs /sys/kernel/security /sys/kernel/security
