because lsm hooks is mess of undocumented return values your
"solution" is to add hundreds of noninline functions
and hack the call into them in JITs ?!
I revisited the documentation and checked each LSM hook one by one.
Hopefully, I completed it correctly, but I would review again (others
are also welcome to do it).

Not sure if there is a more efficient way. Do you have any idea?
Maybe we find a way to use only one check function (by reusing the
address of the attachment point?).

Regarding the JIT approach, I didn't find a reliable solution for using
just the verifier. As I wrote to you, there could be the case where the
range can include positive values, despite the possible return values
are zero and -EACCES.
Didn't you find that there are only 12 or so odd return cases.
Maybe refactor some of them to something that the verifier can enforce
and denylist the rest ?

Also denylist those that Casey mentioned like security_secid_to_secctx ?
Just replied to Casey's comment and I agree, these hooks should be denylisted.
