Subject: [PATCH v2] lsm: constify the 'target' parameter in security_capget()
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2023 11:59:29 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZNCWUQXKrZnCeB/5@gmail.com> (raw)

Three LSMs register the implementations for the "capget" hook: AppArmor,
SELinux, and the normal capability code. Looking at the function
implementations we may observe that the first parameter "target" is not
changing.

Mark the first argument "target" of LSM hook security_capget() as
"const" since it will not be changing in the LSM hook.

cap_capget() LSM hook declaration exceeds the 80 characters per line
limit. Split the function declaration to multple lines to decrease the
line length.

Changes in v2:
 - Squash the patches 1/2 and 2/2 into a single patch
 - Simplify the commit message
