A configurable LSM is probably the right way to do this.I wonder how many out of tree LSM there are? Looking at the mainline kernel the only "small" LSM bundled is YAMA, and it seems that most of the patches proposing new ones eventually die out. I appreciate that there are probably a lot of "toy" or "local" modules out there for specific fields, companies, or products, but it does seem odd that there are so few discussed publicly. (The last two I remember were S.A.R.A and something relating to xattr-attributes being used to whitelist execution.)
FWIW S.A.R.A. is not dead [1]. Unfortunately it needs infrastructure managed security blobs, so I didn't tried to get it upstream, yet. Of course, I can't give you any guarantees about when or if it will be upstreamed, but it's definitely still alive.
