9BPF LSM programs need to access filesystem data from LSM hooks. The following
10BPF kfuncs can be used to get these data.
11
12 * ``bpf_get_file_xattr()``
13
14 * ``bpf_get_fsverity_digest()``
15
16To avoid recursions, these kfuncs follow the following rules:
17
181. These kfuncs are only permitted from BPF LSM function.
192. These kfuncs should not call into other LSM hooks, i.e. security_*(). For
20   example, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` does not use ``vfs_getxattr()``, because
21   the latter calls LSM hook ``security_inode_getxattr``.
