[PATCH v6 07/11] LSM: Helpers for attribute names and filling an lsm_ctx

From: Casey Schaufler
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 15:12:31 EST


Add lsm_name_to_attr(), which translates a text string to a
LSM_ATTR value if one is available.

Add lsm_fill_user_ctx(), which fills a struct lsm_ctx, including
the trailing attribute value.

Both are used in module specific components of LSM system calls.
