I think this not only matches up better with the caller, "do_populate_rootfs()", but since in using the past tense we help indicate that this hook happens *after* the rootfs is populated with the initramfs data. > done: > /* > * If the initrd region is overlapped with crashkernel reserved region, > diff --git a/security/security.c b/security/security.c > index ddf2e69cf8f2..2a527d4c69bc 100644 > --- a/security/security.c > +++ b/security/security.c > @@ -5581,3 +5581,15 @@ int security_uring_cmd(struct io_uring_cmd *ioucmd) > return call_int_hook(uring_cmd, 0, ioucmd); > } > #endif /* CONFIG_IO_URING */ > + > +#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD > +/** > + * security_unpack_initramfs() - Notify LSM that initramfs has been loaded > + * > + * Tells the LSM the initramfs has been unpacked into the rootfs. > + */ > +void security_unpack_initramfs(void) > +{ > + call_void_hook(unpack_initramfs_security); > +} > +#endif /* CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD */ > -- > 2.43.0 -- paul-moore.com

This patch introduces a new hook to notify security system that the content of initramfs has been unpacked into the rootfs. Upon receiving this notification, the security system can activate a policy to allow only files that originated from the initramfs to execute or load into kernel during the early stages of booting. This approach is crucial for minimizing the attack surface by ensuring that only trusted files from the initramfs are operational in the critical boot phase.
