Commit Message

Ondrej Mosnacek Jan. 9, 2019, 9:10 a.m. UTC
This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created pseudo filesystem
objects (such as kernfs nodes) that provide a way of storing a
non-default security context, but need to operate independently from
mounts.

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.

You'll want to add a kerneldoc comment for the new hook; see the 
existing ones for the other hooks at the top of lsm_hooks.h.

Good point, will add that in v2, thanks.

I just realized I will need to assign *ctx to NULL and *ctxlen to 0
here, since I chose to return 0 by default...

Same here, in case there is no object_init_security hook provided by the LSM.
