2Linux Security Module Development

5Based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/215,
6a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of
7what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to
8use it) has been appropriately documented in ``Documentation/security/LSM``.
9This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so
10that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which
11LSMs suit their requirements.

13For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please
14see ``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``.
