Currently, the LSM infrastructure supports only one LSM providing an xattr and EVM calculating the HMAC on that xattr, plus other inode metadata. Allow all LSMs to provide one or multiple xattrs, by extending the security blob reservation mechanism. Introduce the new lbs_xattr_count field of the lsm_blob_sizes structure, so that each LSM can specify how many xattrs it needs, and the LSM infrastructure knows how many xattr slots it should allocate. Modify the inode_init_security hook definition, by passing the full xattr array allocated in security_inode_init_security(), and the current number of xattr slots in that array filled by LSMs. The first parameter would allow EVM to access and calculate the HMAC on xattrs supplied by other LSMs, the second to not leave gaps in the xattr array, when an LSM requested but did not provide xattrs (e.g. if it is not initialized). Introduce lsm_get_xattr_slot(), which LSMs can call as many times as the number specified in the lbs_xattr_count field of the lsm_blob_sizes structure. During each call, lsm_get_xattr_slot() increments the number of filled xattrs, so that at the next invocation it returns the next xattr slot to fill. Cleanup security_inode_init_security(). Unify the !initxattrs and initxattrs case by simply not allocating the new_xattrs array in the former. Update the documentation to reflect the changes, and fix the description of the xattr name, as it is not allocated anymore. Adapt both SELinux and Smack to use the new definition of the inode_init_security hook, and to call lsm_get_xattr_slot() to obtain and fill the reserved slots in the xattr array. Move the xattr->name assignment after the xattr->value one, so that it is done only in case of successful memory allocation. Finally, change the default return value of the inode_init_security hook from zero to -EOPNOTSUPP, so that BPF LSM correctly follows the hook conventions.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
