[PATCH] lkdtm: Do not depend on BLOCK and clean up headers

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Nov 27 2018 - 12:15:42 EST


After the transition to kprobes, symbols are resolved at runtime. This
means there is no need to have all the Kconfig and header logic to
avoid build failures. This also paves the way to having arbitrary test
locations.
