Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lsm: change 'target' parameter to 'const' in security_capget LSM hook
Date:   Mon, 31 Jul 2023 12:07:31 +0500
Message-Id: <7fd5ea487559760818af96f7c1f2c25bec515049.1690786467.git.kamrankhadijadj@gmail.com>

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.
