Subject: [PATCH security-next v4 17/32] LSM: Introduce CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE
Date: Mon,  1 Oct 2018 17:54:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181002005505.6112-18-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181002005505.6112-1-keescook@chromium.org>

To provide a set of default-enabled LSMs at boot, this introduces the
new CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE. A value of "all" means all builtin LSMs are
enabled by default. Any unlisted LSMs will be implicitly disabled
(excepting those with LSM-specific CONFIGs for enabling/disabling).

The behavior of the LSM-specific CONFIGs for SELinux are AppArmor
unchanged: the default-enabled state for those LSMs remains controlled
through their LSM-specific "enable" CONFIGs.
