Through the magic of greylisting (thanks vger) and IRC, I've just had a chat with Arjan and GregKH about this stuff. So, just to follow up for people interested in watching me talk to myself: - while an LSM must be compiled in, they are not mutually exclusive, and the desired module can be selected at boot-time. As such, I don't have any strong objections. It'd be nice for folks doing LSM development to allow for a way for it to be modular, but I'll let them fight for that. :) Sorry for the noise, -Kees -- Kees Cook - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
