I don't mind having both task based lsm and cgroup based as long as
infrastracture is not duplicated and scaling issues from earlier version
are resolved.
I'm proposing to do cgroup only for the next RFC, since mine and Sargun's
use case for this bpf+lsm+cgroup is _not_ security or sandboxing.
No need for unpriv, no_new_priv to cgroups are other things that Andy
is concerned about.

yes. the point that unpriv stuff can come later after agreement is reached.
If we keep arguing about seccomp details this set won't go anywhere.
Even in basic part (which is cgroup+bpf+lsm) are plenty of questions
to be still agreed.

I think neither of them should be called fancy names for no technical reason.
We will have only one bpf based lsm. That's it and it doesn't
need an obscure name. Directory name can be security/bpf/..stuff.c
