Create a system call lsm_get_self_attr() to provide the security module maintained attributes of the current process. Create a system call lsm_set_self_attr() to set a security module maintained attribute of the current process. Historically these attributes have been exposed to user space via entries in procfs under /proc/self/attr. The attribute value is provided in a lsm_ctx structure. The structure identifies the size of the attribute, and the attribute value. The format of the attribute value is defined by the security module. A flags field is included for LSM specific information. It is currently unused and must be 0. The total size of the data, including the lsm_ctx structure and any padding, is maintained as well. struct lsm_ctx { __u64 id; __u64 flags; __u64 len; __u64 ctx_len; __u8 ctx[]; }; Two new LSM hooks are used to interface with the LSMs. security_getselfattr() collects the lsm_ctx values from the LSMs that support the hook, accounting for space requirements. security_setselfattr() identifies which LSM the attribute is intended for and passes it along.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
