Currently, evm_inode_init_security() processes a single LSM xattr from the array passed by security_inode_init_security(), and calculates the HMAC on it and other inode metadata. As the LSM infrastructure now can pass to EVM an array with multiple xattrs, scan them until the terminator (xattr name NULL), and calculate the HMAC on all of them. Also, double check that the xattrs array terminator is the first non-filled slot (obtained with lsm_get_xattr_slot()). Consumers of the xattrs array, such as the initxattrs() callbacks, rely on the terminator. Finally, change the name of the lsm_xattr parameter of evm_init_hmac() to xattrs, to reflect the new type of information passed.

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.
