Subject: [PATCH v6 5/5] Smack: add support for lsm_config_self_policy and lsm_config_system_policy
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 15:25:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251010132610.12001-6-maxime.belair@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251010132610.12001-1-maxime.belair@canonical.com>

Enable users to manage Smack policies through the new hooks
lsm_config_self_policy and lsm_config_system_policy.

lsm_config_self_policy allows adding Smack policies for the current cred.
For now it remains restricted to CAP_MAC_ADMIN.

lsm_config_system_policy allows adding globabl Smack policies. This is
restricted to CAP_MAC_ADMIN.
