NAME¶
register_security - registers a security framework with the kernel
SYNOPSIS¶
int register_security(struct security_operations * ops);
ARGUMENTS¶
ops
a pointer to the struct security_options that is to be
registered
DESCRIPTION¶
This function allows a security module to register itself with the kernel security subsystem. Some rudimentary checking is done on the ops value passed to this function. You´ll need to check first if your LSM is allowed to register its ops by calling security_module_enable(ops).
If there is already a security module registered with the kernel, an error will be returned. Otherwise 0 is returned on success.
