I meant:

The check is for the exe itself, not .so, etc.

For example:  /usr/bin/touch is checked.
not the shared objects:
ldd /usr/bin/touch
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdc988f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f59b6757000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f59b6986000)

Basically, I asked if the check can be extended to shared-objects,
seccomp filters, etc, without modifying existing LSMs.
you pointed out "LSM should not need to be updated with this patch
series.", which already answered my question.

Thanks.
