    keys: add keyctl function to get a security label · 70a5bb72
    David Howells 提交于
    Add a keyctl() function to get the security label of a key.
    
    The following is added to Documentation/keys.txt:
    
     (*) Get the LSM security context attached to a key.
    
    	long keyctl(KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY, key_serial_t key, char *buffer,
    		    size_t buflen)
    
         This function returns a string that represents the LSM security context
         attached to a key in the buffer provided.
    
         Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could
         produce, even if that's too big for the buffer, but it won't copy more
         than requested to userspace. If the buffer pointer is NULL then no copy
         will take place.
    
         A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is
         sufficiently big.  This is included in the returned count.  If no LSM is
         in force then an empty string will be returned.
    
         A process must have view permission on the key for this function to be
         successful.
