To support "portable and immutable signatures" on otherwise unsupported filesystems, determine the EVM signature type by the content of a file's xattr. If the file has the appropriate signature type then allow it to be copied up. All other signature types are discarded as before. "Portable and immutable" EVM signatures can be copied up by stacked file- system since the metadata their signature covers does not include file- system-specific data such as a file's inode number, generation, and UUID.

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 reStructuredText 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.
