Please allow me to revive this old thread. I learned about this effort
only recently and I'm interested into it.

Looking at patch 4/4 from this series, it *think* it's doable to
extract it from the series and make it work standalone. If so, would
that approach be ok from a LSM point of view?

One thing that I personally don't understand in said patch is how the
'__ro_after_init' annotation for the bpf_lsm_hooks fits the run-time
'default_state' changes?!?

Cheers,

Paolo
