I'm OK with this approach. Thank you.



Just wondering what is "__lsm_name_##lsm" for...

+#define DEFINE_LSM(lsm) \
+ static const char __lsm_name_##lsm[] __initconst \
+ __aligned(1) = #lsm; \
+ static struct lsm_info __lsm_##lsm \
+ __used __section(.lsm_info.init) \
+ __aligned(sizeof(unsigned long)) \
+ = { \
+ .name = __lsm_name_##lsm, \
+
+#define END_LSM }

We could do something like below so that funny END_LSM is not required?
I felt } like a typo error at the first glance. What we need is to
gather into one section with appropriate alignment, isn't it?

#define LSM_INFO \
static struct lsm_info __lsm_ \
__used __section(.lsm_info.init) \
__aligned(sizeof(unsigned long)) \

LSM_INFO = {
.name = "tomoyo",
.flags = LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR | LSM_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
.init = tomoyo_init,
};
