5 Based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/215,
6 a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of
7 what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to
8 use it) has been appropriately documented in ``Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/``.
9 This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so
10 that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which
11 LSMs suit their requirements.
13 For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please
14 see ``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``.
