[PATCH 3/8] Security: Provide copy-up security hooks for unioned files

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 18 2015 - 09:33:18 EST


Provide two new security hooks for use with security files that are used when
a file is copied up between layers:

(1) security_inode_copy_up(). This is called so that the security label on
the destination file can be set appropriately.

(2) security_inode_copy_up_xattr(). This is called so that each xattr being
copied up can be vetted - including modification and discard.
