Kees Cook 9b091556a0 LSM: LoadPin for kernel file loading restrictions
This LSM enforces that kernel-loaded files (modules, firmware, etc)
must all come from the same filesystem, with the expectation that
such a filesystem is backed by a read-only device such as dm-verity
or CDROM. This allows systems that have a verified and/or unchangeable
filesystem to enforce module and firmware loading restrictions without
needing to sign the files individually.

help
Any files read through the kernel file reading interface
(kernel modules, firmware, kexec images, security policy) will
be pinned to the first filesystem used for loading. Any files
that come from other filesystems will be rejected. This is best
used on systems without an initrd that have a root filesystem
backed by a read-only device such as dm-verity or a CDROM.
