Subject: [PATCH 4/5] vm: enable IPE in sub-VM kernels
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 13:20:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625202013.1417254-5-colby@colbyt.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625202013.1417254-1-colby@colbyt.com>

Enable the IPE LSM in the app VM and net VM kernels.

The generated kernel config already enables audit, audit syscall support,
securityfs, and an LSM order containing ipe. Enabling SECURITY_IPE also
selects the dm-verity root-hash provider, which lets later policy work
match files that come from the verified root.

This does not install an IPE policy yet.
