[PATCH v5 0/6] LSM: LoadPin for kernel file loading restrictions

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Apr 20 2016 - 18:47:39 EST


This provides the mini-LSM "loadpin" that intercepts the now consolidated
kernel_file_read LSM hook so that a system can keep all loads coming from
a single trusted filesystem. This is what Chrome OS uses to pin kernel
module and firmware loading to the read-only crypto-verified dm-verity
partition so that kernel module signing is not needed.
