[RFC PATCH v2 08/34] lsm: replace the name field with a pointer to the lsm_id struct
Paul Moore

Mon Jul 21 23:21:11 UTC 2025
Reduce the duplication between the lsm_id struct and the DEFINE_LSM()
definition by linking the lsm_id struct directly into the individual
LSM's DEFINE_LSM() instance.
Linking the lsm_id into the LSM definition also allows us to simplify
the security_add_hooks() function by removing the code which populates
the lsm_idlist[] array and moving it into the normal LSM startup code
where the LSM list is parsed and the individual LSMs are enabled,
making for a cleaner implementation with less overhead at boot.
