[PATCH 1/3] security: Add LSM hook to setgroups() syscall

From: Micah Morton
Date: Thu Jun 16 2022 - 13:18:28 EST


Give the LSM framework the ability to filter setgroups() syscalls. There
are already analagous hooks for the set*uid() and set*gid() syscalls.
The SafeSetID LSM will use this new hook to ensure setgroups() calls are
allowed by the installed security policy. Tested by putting print
statement in security_task_fix_setgroups() hook and confirming that it
gets hit when userspace does a setgroups() syscall.
