Oh, security= parameter is explicitly specified on all targets?
Then, we can abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_AID_FOR_SYZBOT option. ;-)

LSM folks, may we use this patch for linux-next.git ?
CONFIG_DEBUG_AID_FOR_SYZBOT is a linux-next.git-only kernel config option used by syzbot.

Subject: [PATCH linux-next] LSM: Allow syzbot to ignore security= parameter.

LSM is going to get infrastructure managed security blob support in Linux
5.1, and it becomes possible to run TOMOYO with SELinux/Smack/AppArmor.
But for compatibility reason, since security= parameter makes it
impossible to run TOMOYO with SELinux/Smack/AppArmor, syzbot can't
test that combination. Therefore, this patch allows syzbot to temporarily
ignore security= parameter. This patch is meant for linux-next.git only,
and will be removed after infrastructure managed security blob support
went to linux.git.
