Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] lsm: introduce security_lsm_config_*_policy hooks
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 15:25:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251010132610.12001-3-maxime.belair@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251010132610.12001-1-maxime.belair@canonical.com>

Define two new LSM hooks: security_lsm_config_self_policy and
security_lsm_config_system_policy and wire them into the corresponding
lsm_config_*_policy() syscalls so that LSMs can register a unified
interface for policy management. This initial, minimal implementation
only supports the LSM_POLICY_LOAD operation to limit changes.
