-The files in this directory provide an API for security modules.
-The contents of this directory are files that can be read and written
-in order to set security-related attributes.
-This directory was added to support SELinux,
-but the intention was that the API be general enough to support
-other security modules.
-For the purpose of explanation,
-examples of how SELinux uses these files are provided below.
-.IP
-This directory is present only if the kernel was configured with
-.BR CONFIG_SECURITY .
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/current " (since Linux 2.6.0)"
-The contents of this file represent the current
-security attributes of the process.
-.IP
-In SELinux, this file is used to get the security context of a process.
-Prior to Linux 2.6.11, this file could not be used to set the security
-context (a write was always denied), since SELinux limited process security
-transitions to
-.BR execve (2)
-(see the description of
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/exec ,
-below).
-Since Linux 2.6.11, SELinux lifted this restriction and began supporting
-"set" operations via writes to this node if authorized by policy,
-although use of this operation is only suitable for applications that are
-trusted to maintain any desired separation between the old and new security
-contexts.
-.IP
-Prior to Linux 2.6.28, SELinux did not allow threads within a
-multithreaded process to set their security context via this node
-as it would yield an inconsistency among the security contexts of the
-threads sharing the same memory space.
-Since Linux 2.6.28, SELinux lifted
-this restriction and began supporting "set" operations for threads within
-a multithreaded process if the new security context is bounded by the old
-security context, where the bounded relation is defined in policy and
-guarantees that the new security context has a subset of the permissions
-of the old security context.
-.IP
-Other security modules may choose to support "set" operations via
-writes to this node.
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/exec " (since Linux 2.6.0)"
-This file represents the attributes to assign to the
-process upon a subsequent
-.BR execve (2).
-.IP
-In SELinux,
-this is needed to support role/domain transitions, and
-.BR execve (2)
-is the preferred point to make such transitions because it offers better
-control over the initialization of the process in the new security label
-and the inheritance of state.
-In SELinux, this attribute is reset on
-.BR execve (2)
-so that the new program reverts to the default behavior for any
-.BR execve (2)
-calls that it may make.
-In SELinux, a process can set
-only its own
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/exec
-attribute.
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/fscreate " (since Linux 2.6.0)"
-This file represents the attributes to assign to files
-created by subsequent calls to
-.BR open (2),
-.BR mkdir (2),
-.BR symlink (2),
-and
-.BR mknod (2)
-.IP
-SELinux employs this file to support creation of a file
-(using the aforementioned system calls)
-in a secure state,
-so that there is no risk of inappropriate access being obtained
-between the time of creation and the time that attributes are set.
-In SELinux, this attribute is reset on
-.BR execve (2),
-so that the new program reverts to the default behavior for
-any file creation calls it may make, but the attribute will persist
-across multiple file creation calls within a program unless it is
-explicitly reset.
-In SELinux, a process can set only its own
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/fscreate
-attribute.
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/keycreate " (since Linux 2.6.18)"
-.\" commit 4eb582cf1fbd7b9e5f466e3718a59c957e75254e
-If a process writes a security context into this file,
-all subsequently created keys
-.RB ( add_key (2))
-will be labeled with this context.
-For further information, see the kernel source file

-.IR /proc/ pid /attr/prev " (since Linux 2.6.0)"
-This file contains the security context of the process before the last
