+enable Landlock by adding ``lsm=landlock,[...]`` to
+Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst in the boot loader
 configuration.
 
+For example, if the current built-in configuration is:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ zgrep -h "^CONFIG_LSM=" "/boot/config-$(uname -r)" /proc/config.gz 2>/dev/null
+    CONFIG_LSM="lockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor"
+
+...and if the cmdline doesn't contain ``landlock`` either:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ sed -n 's/.*\(\<lsm=\S\+\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline
+    lsm=lockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor
+
+...we should configure the boot loader to set a cmdline extending the ``lsm``
+list with the ``landlock,`` prefix::
+
+  lsm=landlock,lockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor
+
+After a reboot, we can check that Landlock is up and running by looking at

+    [    0.000000] Command line: [...] lsm=landlock,lockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor

+    [    0.000000] landlock: Up and running.
+
+The kernel may be configured at build time to always load the ``lockdown`` and
+``capability`` LSMs.  In that case, these LSMs will appear at the beginning of
+the ``LSM: initializing`` log line as well, even if they are not configured in
+the boot loader.

+Network support
+---------------

 To be able to explicitly allow TCP operations (e.g., adding a network rule with
 ``LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP``), the kernel must support TCP
 (``CONFIG_INET=y``).  Otherwise, sys_landlock_add_rule() returns an
