Subject: [PATCH security-next v5 20/30] LSM: Prepare for reorganizing "security=" logic
Date:   Wed, 10 Oct 2018 17:18:36 -0700
Message-Id: <20181011001846.30964-21-keescook@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20181011001846.30964-1-keescook@chromium.org>
References: <20181011001846.30964-1-keescook@chromium.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This moves the string handling for "security=" boot parameter into
a stored pointer instead of a string duplicate. This will allow
easier handling of the string when switching logic to use the coming
enable/disable infrastructure.
