Subject: [PATCH v2] LSM: Add a Smack subdirectory in /proc/.../attr Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module. The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the security "context" of the process, but it will be different depending on the security module you're using. This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case may be) as before. This patch does not include subdirectories for SELinux or AppArmor. I do have a patch that provides those, and will happily make it available should anyone see value in it. The original implementation is by Kees Cook.
