Description: The security information used on the process by
a Linux security module (LSM) active on the system
prior to the most recent exec() call.
The details of permissions required to read from
this interface is LSM dependent.
A process cannot write to this interface unless it
refers to itself.
The other details of permissions required to write to
this interface are LSM dependent.
The format of the data used by this interface is LSM

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
