So, can I get a directory list or file list of what we should be ignoring for the AUTOSEL and "Fixes: only" tools to be ignoring?
I've been trying to ensure that the files/directories entries in MAINTAINERS are current, so that is probably as good a place as any to pull that info. Do the stable tools use that info already? In other words, if we update the entries in MAINTAINERS should we also notify you guys, or will you get it automatically?
We do not use (or at least I don't, I can't speak for Sasha here, but odds are we should unify this now), the MAINTAINERS file for this, but rather a list like you provided below, thanks.
Fair enough, if we ever have any significant restructuring I'll try to remember to update the stable folks. Although I'm guessing such a change would likely end up being self-reporting anyway.
Regardless, here is a list:
- Audit
include/asm-generic/audit_*.h include/linux/audit.h include/linux/audit_arch.h include/uapi/linux/audit.h kernel/audit* lib/*audit.c
- LSM layer
security/ (NOTE: the individual sub-dirs under security/ belong to the individual LSMs, not the LSM layer)
So security/*.c would cover this, not below that, right?
Yes, that should work.
- SELinux
include/trace/events/avc.h include/uapi/linux/selinux_netlink.h scripts/selinux/ security/selinux/
Looks good, thanks for this.
Thanks for maintaining the exception list.
Cool, it's maintained here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree...
if it's ever needed to be updated in the future.
thanks,
