+=====================
+BPF filesystem kfuncs
+=====================
+
+BPF LSM programs need to access filesystem data from LSM hooks. The following
+BPF kfuncs can be used to get these data.
+
+ * ``bpf_get_file_xattr()``
+
+ * ``bpf_get_fsverity_digest()``
+
+To avoid recursions, these kfuncs follow the following rules:
+
+1. These kfuncs are only permitted from BPF LSM function.
+2. These kfuncs should not call into other LSM hooks, i.e. security_*(). For
+   example, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` does not use ``vfs_getxattr()``, because
+   the latter calls LSM hook ``security_inode_getxattr``.
