Subject: [PATCH 5/5] host/rootfs: enable IPE in the host kernel
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 13:20:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625202013.1417254-6-colby@colbyt.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625202013.1417254-1-colby@colbyt.com>

Enable the IPE LSM in the host kernel used by the Spectrum rootfs,
including the QEMU host-rootfs run path.

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 for the host rootfs.

This only enables kernel support. It does not install an IPE policy.
