I think the current proposal (in the other thread) is likely the sanest approach: - Drop CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE - Drop CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE - All enabled LSMs are listed at build-time in CONFIG_LSM_ENABLEHrrmmm isn't this a Kconfig selectable list, with each built-in LSM available to be enabled by default at boot.
That's not how I have it currently. It's a comma-separated a string, including the reserved name "all". The default would just be "CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE=all". Casey and I wanted this to have a way to capture new LSMs by default at build-time.

Okay, this is closer to v3 than v4. Paul or Stephen, how do you feel about losing the SELinux bootparam CONFIG? (i.e. CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE would be replacing its functionality.) -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security
