An earlier version of the patch set used the seccomp filter chain.
Mickaël, what exactly was wrong with that approach other than that the
seccomp() syscall was awkward for you to use? You could add a
seccomp_add_landlock_rule() syscall if you needed to.
As a side comment, why is this an LSM at all, let alone a non-stacking
LSM? It would make a lot more sense to me to make Landlock depend on
having LSMs configured in but to call the landlock hooks directly from
the security_xyz() hooks.

If we start adding override flags to Landlock, I think we're doing it
wrong. With cgroup bpf programs, the whole mess is set up by the
administrator. With seccomp, and with Landlock if done correctly, it
*won't* be set up by the administrator, so the chance that everyone
gets all the flags right is about zero. All attached filters should
run unconditionally.
