Subject: [PATCH 1/9] SELinux: Introduce "Advanced Hashing" Kconfig option
Date: Wed,  8 Apr 2020 14:24:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200408182416.30995-2-siarhei.liakh@concurrent-rt.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200408182416.30995-1-siarhei.liakh@concurrent-rt.com>

From: Siarhei Liakh <siarhei.liakh@concurrent-rt.com>

This patch introduces "Advanced Hashing" Kconfig option for SELinux,
which is used by subsequent patches to switch between faster, simpler
local hash functions and a bit slower, but much better ones from standard
Linux library. The patch only adds an option; hash function changes are
provided as separate patches, one per function changed.
