Hi Matthew!

Apologies if this was addressed in another patch in your series (I've
only skimmed the first few), but what should happen if the kernel is
locked down, but CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n? Or shouldn't CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM
depend on CONFIG_MODULE_SIG? Otherwise I think we'll end up calling
the empty !CONFIG_MODULE_SIG module_sig_check() stub even though
lockdown is enabled.


Thanks,

Jessica
