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``.
