[PATCH] security: CONFIG_LSM: LSM can depend on SECURITY

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Sun Aug 24 2025 - 18:28:20 EST


When CONFIG_SECURITY is not set, CONFIG_LSM (builtin_lsm_order) does
not need to be visible and settable since builtin_lsm_order is defined in
security.o, which is only built when CONFIG_SECURITY=y.

So make CONFIG_LSM depend on CONFIG_SECURITY.
