I have a question about this kind of hooks. It seems that if someone needs a hook somewhere in the kernel he adds his own hook. For example we have the LSM hooks. But if someone, like me, need to use such hooks for something that is not specific to security, LSM is not the right framework and then, I can not use such hooks. So, there is PAGG that offers hooks and is the right framework. But there is some other applications, like LTT or whatever, that will need new hooks. Isn't there a duplicate usage of hooks? Will it be interesting for Linux to provide some generic hooks because it seems that some (like in do_fork(), do_exit(), ... ) are often needed by applications instead of doing the job for security, accounting, tracing, ...
