config LSM_ORDER string "Default initialization order of builtin LSMs" - default "yama,loadpin,integrity" + default "yama,loadpin,integrity,selinux,smack,tomoyo,apparmor"If I want to compile all the major modules into my kernel and use AppArmor by default would I use default "yama,loadpin,integrity,apparmor,selinux,smack,tomoyo" or default "yama,loadpin,integrity,apparmor"I was expecting the former, but the latter will have the same result.
t find having the two be equivalent violates expectations. At least when considering the end goal of full/extreme stacking, its trivially the same with current major lsms being exclusive

When we have "blob-sharing" how could I compile in tomoyo, but exclude it without a boot line option?Ooh, yes, this series has no way to do that. Perhaps CONFIG_LSM_DISABLE in the same form as CONFIG_LSM_ORDER? I would totally remove LoadPin's CONFIG for this in favor it.I would generally prefer an optional CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE to CONFIG_LSM_DISABLE, but I understand the logic behind your approach. I would be looking for something like
+1 on the CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE ove DISABLE
CONFIG LSM_ENABLE string "Default set of enabled LSMs" default "" as opposed to CONFIG LSM_DISABLE string "Default set of disabled LSMs" default "" where an empty string is interpreted as "use 'em all" in either case.quoted

When we have full stacking, how could I compile in selinux but exclude it?Yup, same problem. Same suggested solution? Should lsm.enable/disable= also become a comma-separated list, or should I leave it as a multi-instance thing like I have it?I prefer the multi-instance lsm.disable=selinux lsm.disable=yama to the list lsm.disable=selinux,yama but at this point I don't really care all that much.
the comma separated list however is consistent with what is being done for default order
