1================================= 2Linux Security Module Development 3================================= 4 5Based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/215, 6a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of 7what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to 8use it) has been appropriately documented in ``Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/``. 9This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so 10that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which 11LSMs suit their requirements. 12 13For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please 14see ``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h`` and associated structures: 15 16.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/lsm_hooks.h 17 :internal: 18
