90 * The security context of a task

92 * The parts of the context break down into two categories:

94 * (1) The objective context of a task. These parts are used when some other
95 * task is attempting to affect this one.
96 *
97 * (2) The subjective context. These details are used when the task is acting
98 * upon another object, be that a file, a task, a key or whatever.
99 *
100 * Note that some members of this structure belong to both categories - the
101 * LSM security pointer for instance.
102 *
103 * A task has two security pointers. task->real_cred points to the objective
104 * context that defines that task's actual details. The objective part of this
105 * context is used whenever that task is acted upon.
106 *
107 * task->cred points to the subjective context that defines the details of how
108 * that task is going to act upon another object. This may be overridden
109 * temporarily to point to another security context, but normally points to the
110 * same context as task->real_cred.
