SubjectRe: [PATCH v38 06/39] LSM: lsm_self_attr syscall for LSM self attributes
From
At least linux-api@vger.kernel.org should be in Cc for new syscalls.

You need a dedicated patch to wire this syscall with all architectures.
It will help a lot dealing with merge conflicts because of other new
syscalls. You can take a look at the Landlock syscall implementations:
https://git.kernel.org/c/torvalds/a49f4f81cb48925e8d7cbd9e59068f516e984144

About the name, I'd suggest using a verb, something like lsm_get_self_attr.

I think this paragraph is not enough to justify a new syscall. We should
highlight what is not possible (or difficult) to do with the filesystem:
e.g.
- usable in a sandbox which may not have access to the filesystem (but
is that a good thing here?);
- clearly defined ABI/format;
- …?

What is the goal of this syscall? How will it be used? By who?

This need to move to a dedicated "wire syscall" patch.

"NULL-terminated"?

I suggest using __u32 instead of unsigned int.

What could be the use case for these flags?

To avoid holes in this struct, you might want to use
__attribute__((packed)).

I'd prefer @size to not be a pointer but a value, and then only be read
to get the context size.

Because lazy userspace only reading the top

lsm_module_list() already returns the enabled LSM IDs. It would be much
simpler to only returns the properties of a specified LSM.
The syscall could then look like this:
lsm_get_self_attr(__u32 lsm_id, char *attr, size_t size, __u32 flags)
