The LSM creates files in securityfs for each hook registered with the
LSM.
/sys/kernel/security/bpf/<h_name>
The list of LSM hooks are maintained in an internal header "hooks.h"
Eventually, this list should either be defined collectively in
include/linux/lsm_hooks.h or auto-generated from it.
* Creation of a file for the hook in the securityfs.
* Allocation of a bpf_lsm_hook data structure which stores
a pointer to the dentry of the newly created file in securityfs.
* Creation of a typedef for the hook so that BTF information
can be generated for the LSM hooks to:
- Make them "Compile Once, Run Everywhere".
- Pass the right arguments when the attached programs are run.
- Verify the accesses made by the program by using the BTF
information.
