[PATCH v6 bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add a kernel flag test for LSM bpf hook

Blaise Boscaccy
2025-03-08T01:33:55Z

This test exercises the kernel flag added to security_bpf by
effectively blocking light-skeletons from loading while allowing
normal skeletons to function as-is. Since this should work with any
arbitrary BPF program, an existing program from LSKELS_EXTRA was
used as a test payload.
