Message-ID: <20120328104630.10417.47976.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:46:30 +0100 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: jmorris@...ei.org Cc: linux-security-module@...r.kernel.org, keyrings@...ux-nfs.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>, Mimi Zohar <zohar@...ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH 3/9] KEYS: Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig as there are going to be a lot of key-related options.
