A bit later than usual, and perhaps not very exciting this time around, but here are the LSM, SELinux, and audit* highlights from the Linux v6.10 merge window.

@jarkko unfortunately it looks like I need a login to view the LPC abstract; is it because the agenda is still TBD?

Regardless, yes, I saw the work on the keys, that looks like good stuff! I think I saw an article on LWN.net about it, yes? Or maybe it was a post here? Anyway, when I write up the "LSM highlights" I'm really just focusing on the stuff at the LSM layer itself, not all the individual LSMs as that would take far too long ;)

@securepaul "How did TPM2 began its journey in Linux kernel and where it is heading? Why is TPM2 important for Linux? TPM2 is more like a protocol or contract for hardware cryptography than just a chip. And it still has a legit place despite Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and confidential computing up-rise."

@securepaul Good time to activate a bit as I'm on a job seek too. I don't know how to build a great image of myself but I do know how to write code so I guess this is a good approach to move forward ;-)

@jarkko I'm not sure I've got any great advice in that area either, but good code is always welcome and it definitely can't hurt!

(Good luck on the job search too!)
