[PATCH v5 06/21] security: imbed evm calls in security hooks

From: Mimi Zohar
Date: Mon May 16 2011 - 10:46:41 EST


Imbed the evm calls evm_inode_setxattr(), evm_inode_post_setxattr(),
evm_inode_removexattr() in the security hooks. evm_inode_setxattr()
protects security.evm xattr. evm_inode_post_setxattr() and
evm_inode_removexattr() updates the hmac associated with an inode.

(Assumes an LSM module protects the setting/removing of xattr.)

Changelog:
- Don't define evm_verifyxattr(), unless CONFIG_INTEGRITY is enabled.
- xattr_name is a 'const', value is 'void *'
