I don't see this module using any security blobs. Is there
a reason you're not making this a minor (like yama) module
instead of a major (like AppArmor) module?
Thank you for your suggestion.
We are now developing WhiteEgret on the environment
it works certainly.

, isn't it? Unlike Yama, adding whiteegret_add_hooks() to security_init()
is not useful, for security_init() is called too early to create securityfs
entries for WhiteEgret.

Current version uses security= parameter as a switch for enabling/disabling
WhiteEgret, doesn't it? If WhiteEgret does not use security= as a switch,
is some other switch (e.g. __setup()) expected?
Sorry for the delay.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion.
I'll make this module a minor one in the
next version.
