Kees, you can add my

for this entire patch set. Thank you for taking this on, it's
a significant and important chunk of the LSM infrastructure
update.

Thanks!

John, you'd looked at this a bit too -- do the results line up with
your expectations?

Any thoughts from SELinux, TOMOYO, or IMA folks?

What's it relative to? First patch fails for me on current security/next.

Is there a branch in your repo that has the v3 patches?

Breakdown of patches:

Infrastructure improvements (no logical changes):
LSM: Correctly announce start of LSM initialization
vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid copy/paste of security_init section
LSM: Rename .security_initcall section to .lsm_info
LSM: Remove initcall tracing
LSM: Convert from initcall to struct lsm_info
vmlinux.lds.h: Move LSM_TABLE into INIT_DATA
LSM: Convert security_initcall() into DEFINE_LSM()
LSM: Record LSM name in struct lsm_info
LSM: Provide init debugging infrastructure
LSM: Don't ignore initialization failures

Split "integrity" out into "ordered initialization" (no logical changes):
LSM: Introduce LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR
LSM: Provide separate ordered initialization

Provide centralized LSM enable/disable infrastructure:
LoadPin: Rename "enable" to "enforce"
LSM: Plumb visibility into optional "enabled" state
LSM: Lift LSM selection out of individual LSMs
LSM: Prepare for arbitrary LSM enabling
LSM: Introduce CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE
LSM: Introduce lsm.enable= and lsm.disable=
LSM: Prepare for reorganizing "security=" logic
LSM: Refactor "security=" in terms of enable/disable

Provide centralized LSM ordering infrastructure:
LSM: Build ordered list of ordered LSMs for init
LSM: Introduce CONFIG_LSM_ORDER
LSM: Introduce "lsm.order=" for boottime ordering

Move minor LSMs into ordered LSM initialization:
LoadPin: Initialize as ordered LSM
Yama: Initialize as ordered LSM
LSM: Introduce enum lsm_order
capability: Initialize as LSM_ORDER_FIRST

Move major LSMs into ordered LSM initialization:
LSM: Separate idea of "major" LSM from "exclusive" LSM
LSM: Add all exclusive LSMs to ordered initialization
