| 5 | Based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/215, |
| 6 | a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of |
| 7 | what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to |
| 8 | use it) has been appropriately documented in ``Documentation/security/LSM.rst``. |
| 9 | This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so |
| 10 | that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which |
| 11 | LSMs suit their requirements. |

| 13 | For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please |
| 14 | see ``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``. |
