[RFC PATCH v2 00/12] Socket type control for Landlock

Hello! This is v2 RFC patch dedicated to socket protocols restriction.

It is based on the landlock's mic-next branch on top of v6.9 kernel
version.

Description
===========
Patchset implements new type of Landlock rule, that restricts socket
protocols used in the sandboxed process. This restriction does not affect
socket actions such as bind(2) or send(2), only those actions that result
in a socket with unwanted protocol (e.g. creating socket with socket(2)).

Such restriction would be useful to ensure that a sandboxed process uses
only necessary protocols. For example sandboxed TCP server may want to
permit only TCP sockets and deny any others. See [1] for more cases.

The rules store information about the socket family and type. Thus, any
protocol that can be defined by a family-type pair can be restricted by
Landlock.

struct landlock_socket_attr {
	__u64 allowed_access;
	int family; // same as domain in socket(2)
	int type; // see socket(2)
}

Patchset currently implements rule only for socket creation, but
other necessary rules will also be impemented. [2]
