[PATCH security-next v4 23/32] selinux: Remove boot parameter

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Oct 01 2018 - 21:05:12 EST


Since LSM enabling is now centralized with CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE and
"lsm.enable=...", this removes the LSM-specific enabling logic from
SELinux.

- This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
- to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
- functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
- command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
- kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
- necessarily enabled.

- This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
- 'selinux', which allows SELinux to be disabled at boot. If this
- option is set to 0 (zero), the SELinux kernel parameter will
- default to 0, disabling SELinux at bootup. If this option is
- set to 1 (one), the SELinux kernel parameter will default to 1,
