[PATCH v5 18/24] landlock: Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_CROSS_EXEC

Fri Jan 31 16:30:53 UTC 2025
Log denied access for processes resulting from an execve(2), which is
not the case by default.
The rationale is that a program should know its own behavior, but not
necessarily the behavior of other programs.
