Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] LSM: security module information improvements

Changes from v4:
	Use kasprintf instead of kzalloc() ... sprintf in more places.
	More in the documentation.
	Separate module information in contexts with ",". (not yet visible)

Changes from v3:
	Use kasprintf instead of kzalloc() ... sprintf.

Create interfaces that make it possible to deal with process
attributes in the face of multiple "major" security modules.

Patch 1/3 adds /sys/kernel/security/lsm, which provides
a list of the active security modules on the system.

	$ cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm
	capability,yama,loadpin,smack

Patch 2/3 adds a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for each
security module that exports process attribute data. This
allows a program in easily differentiate between the "current"
value for Smack and AppArmor.

	$ cat /proc/self/attr/smack/current
	System

	$ cat /proc/self/attr/apparmor/current
	unconfined

Patch 3/3 adds an interface that provides module identified
information that otherwise matches the "current" attr.
This allows a system with multiple modules to provide the
complete security "context" in one place. A (future) system
with both Smack and AppArmor might report:

	$ cat /proc/self/attr/context
	smack='System',apparmor='unconfined'
