Re: [PATCH v5 5/8] LSM: Create lsm_module_list system call

Create a system call to report the list of Linux Security Modules
that are active on the system. The list is provided as an array
of LSM ID numbers.

The calling application can use this list determine what LSM
specific actions it might take. That might include chosing an
output format, determining required privilege or bypassing
security module specific behavior.

Similar to my comments in 4/8, I would probably create a new LSM hook
for this syscall so that the lsm_ctx is passed through the LSM layer
directly to the target LSM:

  int security_sys_setselfattr(u64 attr, struct lsm_ctx __user *ctx,
size_t len);
