This change adds a new LSM hook, inode_init_security_anon(), that will be used while creating secure anonymous inodes. The hook allows/denies its creation and assigns a security context to the inode. The new hook accepts an optional context_inode parameter that callers can use to provide additional contextual information to security modules for granting/denying permission to create an anon-inode of the same type. This context_inode's security_context can also be used to initialize the newly created anon-inode's security_context.

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.
