Merge branch 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris: "In this patchset, there are a couple of minor updates, as well as some reworking of the LSM initialization code from Kees Cook (these prepare the way for ordered stackable LSMs, but are a valuable cleanup on their own)" * 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: LSM: Don't ignore initialization failures LSM: Provide init debugging infrastructure LSM: Record LSM name in struct lsm_info LSM: Convert security_initcall() into DEFINE_LSM() vmlinux.lds.h: Move LSM_TABLE into INIT_DATA LSM: Convert from initcall to struct lsm_info LSM: Remove initcall tracing LSM: Rename .security_initcall section to .lsm_info vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid copy/paste of security_init section LSM: Correctly announce start of LSM initialization security: fix LSM description location keys: Fix the use of the C++ keyword "private" in uapi/linux/keyctl.h seccomp: remove unnecessary unlikely() security: tomoyo: Fix obsolete function security/capabilities: remove check for -EINVAL

Based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/26/215,
a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of

This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so
that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which
LSMs suit their requirements.
