Linus Torvalds 4a87b197c1 Add additional LSM hooks for SafeSetID
SafeSetID is capable of making allow/deny decisions for set*uid calls
 on a system, and we want to add similar functionality for set*gid
 calls. The work to do that is not yet complete, so probably won't make
 it in for v5.8, but we are looking to get this simple patch in for
 v5.8 since we have it ready. We are planning on the rest of the work
 for extending the SafeSetID LSM being merged during the v5.9 merge
 window.
 
 This patch was sent to the security mailing list and there were no objections.

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.
