Hello developers,
I am currently writing a LSM security module. Because of how many functions work, I have to add CAP_SYS_ADMIN to the effective capabilities of the implemented "medium-privileged root" user. However, CAP_SYS_ADMIN is used in a _lot_ of places, so I need to add security_*() hooks for many functions that just return EPERM should current->euid be MediumPriv. If you just look at include/linux/capabilities.h and look at the long list of what CAP_SYS_ADMIN enables, this might sound like an overkill. Is there a better way to do this?
