[PATCH security-next v2 18/26] LSM: Build ordered list of ordered LSMs for init

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 12:29:42 EST


This constructs a list of ordered LSMs to initialize, using a hard-coded
list of only "integrity": minor LSMs continue to have direct hook calls,
and major LSMs continue to initialize separately.
