[PATCH v1 2/7] landlock: Fix landlock_add_rule(2) signature

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Mon Feb 21 2022 - 10:43:29 EST


From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Replace the enum landlock_rule_type with an int in the syscall signature
of landlock_add_rule to avoid an implementation-defined size. In
practice an enum type is like an int (at least with GCC and clang), but
compilers may accept options (e.g. -fshort-enums) that would have an
impact on that [1]. This change is mostly a cosmetic fix according to
the current kernel compilers and used options.
