LoadPin: Allow filesystem switch when not enforcing

[PATCH 0/4] LoadPin: Allow filesystem switch when not enforcing

Posted by Kees Cook 2 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

Right now, LoadPin isn't much use on general purpose distros since modules
tend to be loaded from multiple filesystems at boot (first initramfs,
then real rootfs). Allow the potential mount pin to move when enforcement
is not enabled.

  LoadPin: Refactor read-only check into a helper
  LoadPin: Refactor sysctl initialization
  LoadPin: Move pin reporting cleanly out of locking
  LoadPin: Allow filesystem switch when not enforcing
