Then all the objects (.so, .sh, etc.) will go through  the check from
execveat's main  to security_bprm_creds_for_exec(), some of them might
be specific for the main executable ?
e.g. ChromeOS uses security_bprm_creds_for_exec to block executable
memfd [1], applying this means automatically extending the block to
the .so object.

I'm not sure if other LSMs need to be updated ?  e.g.  will  SELINUX
check for .so with its process transaction policy ?
