We should add the following 'Fixes:' tags as well as a stable marking:

  Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
  Fixes: a04a1198088a ("LSM: syscalls for current process attributes")
  Fixes: ad4aff9ec25f ("LSM: Create lsm_list_modules system call")

Hey, where did that @uctx check come from?

I'm trying to work through if that is a good/bad change, but regardless
of if we want to make that change, it really should be in a separate
patch as it has nothing to do with the syscall parameter changes.

I believe that should remain a __u64 pointer as we didn't change the
first parameter to lsm_list_modules().  I'm guessing this was an victim
of an overzealous /u64/u32/ search-n-replace going from v1 to v2.

In the interest of speeding things along, I'm happy to make the above
changes while merging Casey, but if you would prefer to do a respin
that's fine with me - let me know either way so I can plan accordingly.
