[PATCH security-next v4 22/32] apparmor: Remove boot parameter

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Oct 01 2018 - 21:04:55 EST


Since LSM enabling is now centralized with CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE and
"lsm.enable=...", this removes the LSM-specific enabling logic from
AppArmor, though it leaves the existing userspace API visibility into
/sys/module/apparmor/parameters/enabled.

- This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
- 'apparmor', which allows AppArmor to be enabled or disabled
- at boot. If this option is set to 0 (zero), the AppArmor

- kernel parameter will default to 1, enabling AppArmor at
