 The file ``/proc/pid/attr/interface_lsm`` contains the name of the security
 module for which the ``/proc/pid/attr/current`` interface will
 apply. This interface can be written to.
+
+The infrastructure does provide an interface for the special
+case where multiple security modules provide a process context.
+This is provided in compound context format.
+
+-  `lsm\0value\0lsm\0value\0`
+
+The `lsm` and `value` fields are NUL-terminated bytestrings.
+Each field may contain whitespace or non-printable characters.
+The NUL bytes are included in the size of a compound context.
+The context ``Bell\0Secret\0Biba\0Loose\0`` has a size of 23.
+
+The file ``/proc/pid/attr/context`` provides the security
+context of the identified process.
