[PATCH v5 2/3] LSM: module hierarchy in /proc/.../attr - Acked

Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] LSM: module hierarchy in /proc/.../attr

Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious
mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module.
The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate
the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar
interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did
likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the
security "context" of the process, but it will be different
depending on the security module you're using. That hasn't
been a problem to date, as you can only have one module
that supports process attributes at a time. We are coming
up on a change to that, where multiple modules with process
attributes can be supported. (Not included here)

This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for
each of the security modules that use the LSM hooks
getprocattr() and setprocattr(). Each of the interfaces
used by a module are presented in the subdirectory. The
old interfaces remain and work the same as before.
User space code can begin migrating to the subdirectory
interfaces in anticipation of the time when what comes
from /proc/self/attr/current might not be what a runtime
wants.

The original implementation is by Kees Cook. The code
has been changed a bit to reflect changes in the direction
of the multiple concurrent module work, to be independent
of it, and to bring it up to date with the current tree.
