From bced95283e9434611cbad8f2ff903cd396eaea72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:20:25 -0800 Subject: security: remove security_sb_post_mountroot hook The security_sb_post_mountroot() hook is long-since obsolete, and is fundamentally broken: it is never invoked if someone uses initramfs. This is particularly damaging, because the existence of this hook has been used as motivation for not using initramfs. Stephen Smalley confirmed on 2007-07-19 that this hook was originally used by SELinux but can now be safely removed: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118485683612916&w=2 Cc: Stephen Smalley Cc: James Morris Cc: Eric Paris Cc: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: H.
